Hmh. I´d recommend Dragon Quest VIII. It has beautyfull graphics, orchestrated sound and good humoristic elements.
Final Fantasy XII is okay too, but it just does not feel like Final Fantasy. FF XII is more of a dungeon-crawler, the storyline is pretty simplistic compared to it´s predecessors, and characters are boring and lack personality. But the graphics are great, and the game can be fun. Just be aware that it is 90% fighting and 10% story.
