I like Vagrant Story, and most of the games in its setting (Ivalice) are my favorite in the Final Fantasy series.

For a more emblematic example of the script quirks these games employ, The Final Fantasy Tactics remake (War of the Lions) goes much more Shakespearean, for good and ill (you lose some of the most classic lines in the original, like Don't blame us. Blame yourself or God., but the entire thing is more cohesive and vivid)
