What Final Fanatsy has the best storyline?

[Necro923]

Im gonna say FFVII FFVIII was so good that i had my eyes glued to the tv for almost 3 years FFX was....... too sad for me(shed's a tear) FFIX sucked the only thing good about it was 4 ppl fighting in 1 party at the same time

[Khaelyn]

I vote for II (NA released as IV).

Gyeh....

I mean IV (NA released as II, like he said).

[Jroggy]

i think you mean IV NA released as II :sweat:
i think VI had the best story line.

FFIII NA (FFVI JP) , no other final fantasy can even compare in storyline.

*high fives DK* w00t
ahem...anyways. yea VI's story line was great. i own FF3(6) and FF2(4) for super nintendo and mystic quest but that game sucks so bad >.< worst story line EVER

Out of the FFs I've played (6, 7, 8, 9, 10.. 11 don't count :p ) I think my all time favorite game, FF7, has the best storyline. Maybe because it's the first game with a complex story I ever played, nothing can ever come close to it.

Dude, Igby that is hella expensive, and the funny thing is still have that world map and that poster is still on my wall, the one with the moggle leaning on the sword with huge shadow behind em. Kinda looking aged but hey tape is holding it together. Glad to see other people agree FFVI = The Best.

*accepts the high five* then screams YARRRR!

[zombie2kornout]

I gotta go with FFVIII

Its the first true love story in the FF series IMO i loved it =)

Best ending must go to FFX though so sad teary eyed...BWAAAAAAAAAA

FFVI

everyone was very interesting. Though Terra was the 1st character, she did not dominate the storyline entirely.

And the little things

like Gogo and Setzer

Shadow's dreams

the magi sisters, etc.

I don't know about the rest of you but Taki by far knows what she is talking about. FFVII is by far the best storyline from any game I have ever played. But, thats just for storyline. It's completely beaten in many other categories by numerous other titles. But, yeah, FFVII has the best storyline by far.

[ExodusRage]

err number 7 and 4

[Macht]

The best ones to me are VI, VII, VIII, IX, and X. Hell I should of just put them all but that's just me.

FFX-2? FFX-2 is a pile of fanboy garbage produced by Square by manipulating the orginal Japanese ending (which follows the sterotypical FF "we don't know what happens" endings; which are consqiuently TAILORED for Square to make sequeals for) of FFX. A plot hole was intentionally created so Square could alter the story as they seemed fit to maximize profits. FFX-2 remains the largest discrace to mainstream RPGS. It's nothing more than a mainstream example of the degraded quality and integrity of RPGS. You could see so many examples of popular aspects of contemporary society, WHICH SHOULD NEVER OCCUR IN A RPG SET IN A NEO-CLASSICAL ERA, all throughout the length of the shitty game.


FFVII drives the fanboy, poorly cultured and tasteless, persona that embodies so many Final Fantasy players these days. The game is littered with poor dialect which suits a mascarade of cookie-cutter characters which lack any social interaction between themselves and the world. "CLOUD I AM 7 YEAR OLD CHILD BLOCKING A CRITICAL PATH BACK INTO THE CITY. YOU ARE A FULL SIZED -- THOUGH UNPORPORTINAL ADULT WITH TINY ARMS THAT COULD NEVER SUPPORT SUCH AN UNBALANCED WEAPON -- MAN. YOU MAY NOT PASS. I WILL NOT MOVE, AND YOU CAN NOT GO AROUND ME."

Honestly, the entire Final Fantasy series isn't half of what its drooling legion of tasteless fanboys make it out to be. Serveral of the games are good, but they are by no means the pinnacle of high quality RPG's.

I'd rate the worthy FF storylines as follows:

1. FFT
2. FFVI
3. FFIV
4. FFVIII
5. FFX**


**It's a shame the emotional ending was defiled by a complete sellout of a sequeal.


Honestly, if you're looking for a strong story line driven game I'd suggest:

1. The Bauldur's Gate series

2. Morrowind

3. The Suikoden series

4. Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic
