I'm thinking about picking some up in the summer sale but have no idea where to start with them. Any suggestions?

Hmm, your time limitation makes recommending one tricky. I don't think this one is on Steam or PSN but maybe Final Fantasy Tactics? Its battle system isn't like any of the mainline series, but it's a very solid entry. The story is good, if a little complicated, there are some memorable characters, and it was one of the last sprite-based ones so the sprites are as good as they'll get for the series.

Battles are a good deal longer than in your average Final Fantasy, but grinding random battles is much less frequent and more rewarding than in most games. You can probably do 1-2 battles and view their accompanying story events in about an hour most of the time.

I've only ever played the PSX version. Someone else may be able to speak for the quality of the iOS or Android ports.
