If you don’t mind graphics I’d just do the golden age, the psx gen games. So like ff7-9 and Tactics.

These are imo the highest quality games in the franchise and Tactics is the most well written and themed game in the whole franchise too.

The remasters of 7-9 on current gen consoles (probably on pc too?) have a speed up button so you can get through the slow parts much faster. It’s really helpful and I wish all of them had it
