| If it came down to 1 game, I would say
Final Fantasy Tactics (for PS1, can be played on PS2)
Great story, great characters, you start off as a very weak character, eventually you become amazingly powerful due to the fantastic weapons and equipment you buy, unlock and find throughout the game
To fully enjoy it, avoid using characters like Orlandu, Cloud, Agrias and a few other secret characters, they make the game way too easy, they deal sick damage
