You seem to be looking for PC games only, but just in case: the original SNES Final Fantasies (IV, V and VI) and also FFIX all had local co-op, believe it or not. That includes the SNES versions of IV-VI and the PSX versions of V and VI available on the Playstation Network. That's the only legal way to get a multiplayer version of FFV in English.
FFIV is a little more freeform about it, in that both players control the party as they please (the feature isn't even mentioned in the game). FFV, VI and IX let you assign party members to specific players.
(If you do take to playing FFVI, I'm seeing a warning here that the other player should not touch any buttons when their partner is using Sabin's Blitz command, as it will cause it to fail no matter what.)
