Mine would be a close match between Final Fantasy Tactics & Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light. Tactics had great story & characters, deep gameplay, with quite of few optional content as an extra bonus. Haven't beaten 4 Heroes of Light, but gameplay is very fun. Crown system & weapons upgrade is good, though with both using gems it does take time. Has a real old-school feel which is good for those looking for that characteristic in a game.
