From a pure gameplay perspective, Infinite Wealth is among my favorite in the entire series and improves on the JRPG mechanics of Yakuza 7. However, the new and highly appealing Hawaii setting was underutilized, and I had issues with the story's plot, direction, and overall cohesion. Definitely a game worth playing, but I feel slightly disappointed that it didn't live up to all it could be.
FF4 is a fantastic game on its own merits, but it's especially impressive in the context of the series and gaming as a whole.
I really believe FF4 moved the series forward in a major way, from its heavy story focus to its massive universe. It managed to intertwine each character's story with their actual job, and managed to create a captivating protagonist in a way that FF2's Firion hadn't quite achieved. Most importantly, the fact that we went to the moon shows just how imaginative games were. Incredible.

FF3 genuinely seems to be the moment when the series really hit its stride. The music is easily the best of the NES era, and it boasts a deep combat system with tremendous depth. But most importantly to me, FF3 and its expansive world, stronger focus on narrative, and excellent enemy designs made me feel like this game truly captures the essence of Final Fantasy.
