mellowtigger | Final Fantasy recommendation?

While I'm asking for product recommendations, are any gamers here familiar with the Final Fantasy series? If so, what is the best title to play with a console's controller?

I want to pick up something good for the Steam Deck while the franchise is on sale for the lunar new year. I've never had a game console before, so I'm unfamiliar with playing on an Xbox controller. I can tell already, though, that games without explicit controller support (and even some that do) are a pain to navigate with a controller. I'm looking for something "easy" to navigate with a controller. Any suggestions for which title I should buy on sale?
