It's not FF by name (apart from the "FF" part in the title), but bravely default (BD:FF - bravely default : flying fairy) on the 3DS has been absolutely brilliant imo. When it comes out in the west I HIGHLY recommend it.
I never imaged that that first (?) 3DS rpg with such a weird name could be so fun where I put in over 10 hours into the demo alone, which is solely based on combat in one small area, ending with me buying the game and finding pretty much all aspects of it to be surprising fantastic.
I guess because it's not a final fantasy, it has nothing to follow up to and so can just do what it wants, letting it take some slightly strange at first glance choices in design - ie far less people in towns that you may think is no where near acceptable for current day rpgs etc, but thanks to that, pretty much everyone has a purpose and you spend so much time in said towns with various people that for the hours you are in each one, they all feel very homey for that time. (They also look incredibly beautiful with 3D on, showing that it's not just some painted like fake pre-rendered background, but some beautiful painted like world that you are *literally* inside, which the 3D lets you properly feel. It's also very breath taking when you stand still and the camera zooms out to show the entire town in all its glory.)
This game has got me far more interested in SE than I have ever been before.
