Agree with FF X, it was the last great game of the series, it's my #1 on list, i think even better than FF7. Yeah, i'll be flamed for this too lol
You didn't liked FF 12? Ok, the story/plot is lame, and the chars lacks of some charisma, but i found fun to play, specially Hunt quests. And imo, the battle system is the best of all FF. I never had problem w/ battle menus, i like jRPGs at all, but at some time, when you have to do hard-grinding to get items or xp, it becomes kind of boring.
Otherwise, FF12 system is so much more fluid, and did make the grinding parts on the game run smoother for me.
About FFXIII and XIII-2, i don't have much to say, they're on my backlog list of games i have to play yet. To be truth, i'm not so excited to play either of them bc all the negative talk i heard all this time. Only positive thing i heard about XIII is the graphics are amazing.
