It's between X and Tactics for me.
For X, the fact that you are seeing the world through the eyes of someone from another time and place means that you know the same as Tidus at the start. You learn the shock twists when he learns them. So you end up sympathizing with him as the story progresses. X-2 wasn't the same as it was from Yuna's perspective and she had been traveling around Spira for two years.
In Tactics, it took me a while to suss out, but the clash of the classes and the civil war aspect is really cool!

So, is FFTactics available to buy at all? Everyone says a lot of good things about it.

Sadly Square only released in Japan and NA. Cunts.
I believe that the PSP version was an enhanced remake of it though.

Generally I'd say VII, though I liked the idea with those aeons in X. VIII was a love story, not much adrenaline there. Also, XII is quite interesting.
Above all, VII wins.

I'll just put it in the winner in each group for me...
Character Development: FFVI. Every bit of that games plot that didn't involve Kefka was a sidequest, and a beautiful one at that.
Deep, man: FFX. I don't think I need to explain this.
Charm: FFIX. It's as oldscholl as DQ8. : D
Issues: Tactics. It was easily the most realistic, and the plot was very well done and played.

What House said 
The PSone version is just America and Japan, but the PSP version is out in Europe. It's pretty much the same thing, just with prettier cutscenes and some extra characters and jobs thrown in. I highly recommend buying it, JR. It is hard though, so be warned.
The story is fantastic. You seem to think that XII's political plot is magnificent...so I'm pretty sure you'd say Tactics's story is godly, since it completely outclasses XII. It's a fairly dark and gritty story too, lot of church coverups, murder, backstabbing, war, poverty and people turning to crime as a result of said poverty, etc. Hell, at the beginning of the game you start off as a paid mercenary. Much cooler than starting off as a sewer rat and fighting...well...rats.

Man...that's the truth. Tactics abused me in horrible ways. My ass is still a little sore. The other Final Fantasy games made me soft. They're incredibly easy in comparison.
I kept going mostly because I wanted to finish the story. |

Same here, that game will rip you a new asshole. To be honest, I hate hard games, they piss me off and I always end up selling them. Only reason I made it through Tactics and still have it is cuz the story was so damn compelling.

I thought the ending was perfect...it makes me cry every time I beat the game too The story in IX isn't terribly original (then again, the game IS a tribute to oldschool FFs), but it has ALOT of depth character-wise. And when you look past the character design, the game is pretty deep. The game deals with genocide, manipulation, depression, being an orphan, etcetera etcetera etcetera. I suppose it actually does get close to Tactics in terms of darkness, it's just masked well. The great thing is through the whole game there's a theme of hope and never giving up. The game is so anti-emo it bleeds rainbows.

Only released in Japan? Arse biscuits. I don't even have a PSP, so I can't even play this highly acclaimed game and enjoy the story :(
