VIII is my favorite. I'm still mad that the HD remake isn't Mac-compatible. (And omg triple triad. I think that's why it took me so long to get through the game. I just kept playing it, and playing it....)
I think IV's story is really good, and definitely one of the standouts out of the FF games I've played. (Fwiw I've only played 1 through 8.) I actually feel about V how you feel about VIII... I barely remember it at all, possibly because I played 1-6 all in order and it was really overshadowed by both IV and VI, imo.
Somewhat related kind of, I always think that I wouldn't enjoy actually playing or replaying a lot of older RPGs now because I'd have no patience for the repetitive battles, but I've been replaying Chrono Trigger recently (albeit very slowly), and I'm surprised at how little I've minded that part of it. (And I'm thrilled that it's still just as wonderful as I remembered. :-P)
