The cyberpunkish games have a different feel to them, so I have plenty of friends who prefer the more fantasy-like games. FF7's Gold Saucer is notorious as a time suck. I kinda love all those games. >.>

If you like the gamut, then you may like both FF8 and FF9! :D I enjoyed them both, and I tend to have a broad interest. But everyone's a little different.
