FF9. FF7 is also very good, but quite underchallenging. Also, both FF7 and FF8 use a system that eventually makes everyone the same. (Everyone can do everything). So by the end of the game, everyone is casting ultima or whatever. This really bothers me. FF9 only certain characters can learn certain skills, so the characters stay differentiated throughout the game. Also the gameplay reflects the story more because of this. Also FF9 does not have the (badly done) combination of tech and fantasy. Gunblade, yuch. (FF8). FF9 is also challenging enough to keep you awake in battles. Unlike FF7 and 8 (especially) where you can win almost any battle by just closing your eyes and hitting the "confirm" button. Basically, I think 9 is superior to 7 and 8. And it is beautiful on ePSXe with a good comp.
By the way, the sotries between these and most other FF's are entirely unrelated.
