Mine’s probably nostalgia tinged but here goes: FFVII, VIII, IX, and X I love the setting, I love the mechanic changes between the series from materia giving various boosts in 7 to the actual spell slots changing stats in 8 and the summons in 9, and blitzball in 10. The story for each was unique in their own world ending way and beautiful to run through. I replay them probably once every three-five years or so but they mark a high point for me. Adding to the list, Demon’s Souls. I never fully understood the storyline behind it but the sequencing of zones around the central hub and the combat are some of my favorite aspects. I need another play on that soon… It would probably be a little weeby of me to take some life lessons from them but they did help me to understand that hard decisions sometimes have to be made that include personal sacrifice and doing things that are unpleasant in order to move everyone forward and up.

I think only the third one does. The other two should be steam or standalone capable.

Are there mods for the second and third?
I played a shit ton of DA:O but only a few runs on the second and didn’t finish the third as I lost interest.

While the story isn’t super long, what I viewed as the main point of the game was discovering how to build my perfect boat and explore islands. I’ve played through at least once on story mode and now I’ll hop in with some friends for a fun coop build and explore mode that is easily as fun if not a little more than soloing the story.

Granted, I wouldn’t mind a patch with more storyline or a mmo for community raft building but those can be in the future if at all.
