The Al-Bhed language was a neat idea.

I wasn't a big fan of XII's very much. The only character I liked was Balthier and he didn't get a whole lot of screentime. The story was forgettable. Uh... what happens in it? Magicite? Something... I don't remember, haha.

I think the one with the best story would be 4 because it's stuck with me and I think about it often. I always thought that Cecil was a compelling character. Kain as well. 6 is a very close second, but it's very bleak. It's pretty wild though and also very memorable. The Opera scene is one of my favorites across the series.
I agree on 4 & 6, they were two of the absolute best. And 7 borrowed so heavily from 6, I'd say it's up there in the top two.
I would say XIII-2 had the worst story, or possibly X-2, but they were probably the two worst games overall.
Personally 9 is my favourite story, because it's the one I grew up playing. But I would say 6 is a close second, followed by 8 then 7.
