I recently have been replaying both FF3 and FF5, and enjoying them on my original
hardware, no less. :) I picked up translated reproduction carts of each.
I find FF5 to be one of the most replayable, because of the job system's impact on
character customization. I've always been fascinated with the concept of Blue
Magic, too.
FF3 also had the job system, with lots of the same jobs carried over into FF5, but
obviously it's not as refined as in FF5. Still, this is an absolute joy to play
through on my original NES.
I have not played FFV but I have played FFIV. All of them via emulation, because I am not as Holy as you.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I played ALL of these games via emulation the first time around. I just enjoy them so much, I like to appreciate them on the actual hardware for subsequent playthroughs.
I am curious. Did you play and Finish Final Fantasy II? I gave up on it because I could not grind to my liking, since characters would lose stats if you didn't exercise them. I didn't like that advancement system at all.

It's a decent idea in theory, but it needed a lot more polish to really work
well. There are ways to buff stats up fairly quickly though, by dealing damage to
your own characters or exploiting certain bugs (such as confirm, cancel, confirm,
cancel, etc.).
Quest for Glory (aka Hero's Quest) uses a very similar stat progression system,
in which you gain stat points the more you use them. Far better implemented, in
my opinion.
