I've been playing back through VII again, since I scored it on Steam for a song. (Between P2 and P3, I played through IV and VI again.)
Really, any of them would be good.
(Is there a bad main numbered game? Sure, there are some I don't like, but I don't think any of them can be called objectively bad.) XII is probably the closest mechanically to XIV, but XIV draws thematically fairly heavily from VI, VII, and VIII as well.
I would, however, heartily recommend Xenogears if you want to hone your RP plotting skills. It's not an FF game, but it is insanely good.
