FF protagonists - Light/Tidus/Squall/Zidane > who cares

I haven't played 13-2, LR or 15 not counting the 2 MMOs. Those four up there are by far the best and it's really hard for me to pick a favorite out of them

Top 5 FF games in no real order:

VIII
IX
X
XIII
V

VI could and really should be 5th, but I just hate all the bloat in the cast, having to use them in split party dungeons and Terra in general brings everything down enough for V to edge it out. V is really fun, good job system and all the characters are solid aside from Lenna and Krile. Gilgamesh one of the best guys in the series and I like ExDeath too.

VIII is really great with the only real weak link for me probably being Quistis. Best opening in the series and the garden battle is an amazing scene.

IX has a half great cast and a half "oh were they still there at the end???" cast. It's got a lot of charm to me even if the game can be really SLOW.

X is basically all around incredible in cast and story. Some of the voice acting is bad, but I still love it.

XIII could use work with the plot. Having to read those story sections in whatever that diary-like thing was could be bothersome, but it was needed to better grasp things since they couldn't just explain it better otherwise for some mysterious reason. I really like the cast, the scale of some of the monsters and the environments.
