But now that you mention it, I played VII a lot later and found the same addicting FF atmosphere. I played FFXII maybe 5 years ago, found it bland and boring, then actually played X after, and found it addicting with a very nice FF atmosphere.

Point is, I don't think it's just a question of "back in my days" since I did not play them in the chronological order and played some of them quite recently, plus I found some very different experiences from game to game. So I'm not looking for new games to repeat what I liked from previous ones.

I also think that those games I like the most (FFVI, VII, X, chrono trigger) had fundamental game play, storyline progression and character development divergences, yet they recreated, to me, this very unique atmosphere that makes me want to play them again today.
how can you mention VI & Chrono and then VII and X together ? The only game out of those 4 that has everything you mention is VI, chrono had no character development outside of Frog, every character was the same at the end as they where at the start :/
