What are your reasons for including FFIV over any of the other games? I get the appeal for XII or Tactics but I saw the trailer for IV and thought it looked boring. What's your reason?

my reason is that i like it

i'm sorry if that sounds snarky or snide but it's just a really good JRPG that i greatly enjoy and maybe if i replay it i'll give it a comprehensive review beyond the like two sentence blurb i gave it.
