Since you've already played FFVIII a few times, that narrows down my recs to FFIV and FFV. Raphi already sang FFIV's praises, so I'll just chip in and say that the random encounters really do get kind of ridiculous. It also shares the dubious honor of "I got so bored and fed up with the damn game that I quit halfway through the final dungeon and haven't touched it since" with Knights of the Old Republic 2, if that helps. I would just watch an LP or something if you really want to get into FFIV things.
On the FFV side, it really is lighthearted in a way that none of the other main series games really manage. The game doesn't take itself very seriously. It also has really fun gameplay.
If you're looking for a super engrossing story...well, none of your prospective titles are really ones I'd recommend on that score. Maybe you should stick with Asscreed 4!
