I haven't had the chance to play Final Fantasy XIV yet. I have played every single player Final Fantasy from 7 forth though (unfortunately not the first ones, I wasn't even born when some of them came out). I remember I was 11 when I first bought the 7th one and I had no clue on how it worked. There was no localization for my language and the only version was the english one. I just grabbed a dictionary and started translating every damn sentence. Well, now I am a foreign language and literature student, I can communicate in four different languages and I have travelled a lot because of that. Basically, all thanks to Final Fantasy 7.
Talking about "best moments", obviously Aeris' death in the 7th, the Garden's siege in the 8th and the intro scene (whose quality was something rather unseen at the time) plus the first encounter with a Dark Aeon in the 10th are something that will never leave my videogaming memories.
I've never played FFXIV ARR and would very much like to do so, and my favourite moment from FF history is kind of hard to pick really but if I had to choose something it would be FFVI, Kefka's success of destroying the game world as we know it and game forcing the player to adapt to a whole new game world which surprisingly enough would take me a very long time to get to the end of the game too. I think that's when you have to take your hats off to a developer, giving you more than what you bargained for and that's how you understand the money you spent was well deserved.
My most unique experience would be the first time I entered the Binding Coil of Bahamut. Seeing what appears to be as massive dragon wing stretching out across the entire zone while hearing a downplayed rendition of 'Answers' play in the background was a very surreal experience for me as someone who adored the 'End of an Era' video.
i got started on the series with final fantasy 3, and i still think it is my favorite one. although, on the top of my list are also 7, and 10 (10-2). i havent gotten a chance to play the realm reborn yet, and i could definitely use a new gfx card! so this would be amazing for me!
I still remember my first playthrough of FF6. When after destruction of the world Terra refuse to join party back. It was first time when main character of story simple refuse to play along and show some independence. Best FF game with amazing plot and characters.
The OST!!!!! its just..... set the mood right with everything!!!
me (and my guild) spend the whole day just fooling around in gridania, just sit around, chatting and crafting, its just beautiful....
Titan and Garuda fight.... oh god that's the most intense fight i ever had in mmo, no stand still spam skill and such, you have to run around like madman, dodging aoe like neo , hiding behind rock like your life depend on it... the feeling when your party die..... the patience when your party plan for everything... and off course the feeling when you finally beat them...
and finally i vote for ultima music, when me and my guild arrive at that place, we all just stand there totally in awe like "oh... my.... god...." and start panicking together in hilarious way, again the music TOTALLY set the mood.
My best moment was when I finished leveling my Monk in FF14, I had a blast leveling him, punching my way through the levels and getting a Behemoth kill in the process.
I was also very happy that I had things to do at 50, Relic, dailys (optional), Duty Dailys, CT etc... the game as a whole lot to offer and that was/is a great thing.
I have never played FF14, however, my favorite scene was when i loaded up final fantasy X and there was this guy speaking for the first time. At the time i had goose bumps cause this was the first time they had voice acting. That opening scene to FFX was something else.
My best experience is with Final Fantasy 7, the central figure is Charismatic. I like very much so Final Fantasy 13, the endding boss is symbolic and the sacrifice too. The graphics is impressive which make dreamed, we transport in another universe. Futuristic surprising enemies.

Best moment? Gotta be Kefka in early game visiting Figaro's Castle, he walks through an entire desert and says: I have SAND on my boots!
And the two guards go to wipe it off, hoho! Not even Jofrey/Justin Bibier can be more annoying than Kefka!
