Best Story in FF - Page 2

March 8, 2007, 1:18 AM

I voted IX, even though my favorite FF is VII. Excluding the characters themselves from either game, IX's story is just slightly more to my taste. Almost pure fantasy x3

Even though VII's story is a very close second.

Ahh, this is so hard! I love all the storylines! But...okay...time to choose.

Well, I finally voted for VII. It really does have an amazing storyline, you know.

It's also the first Final Fantasy I've ever played, and the storyline just blew me away! It has the most complex storyline I have ever played in a game, and even to this day, I sometimes have a hard time comprehending some things.

VIII comes second. Now, even to this day, I have a hard time deciding which game I like best...VII or VIII. I love them equally, but as far as storyline goes, VII is a step closer to the trophy. Laguna, Raine, and Julia's story was the saddest part in the storyline, IMO...and I love every single bit of it.

IX would be the third. The storyline starts out as simple, then gets complex in the mid-end. Square pulled this one off really well. The storyline actually made me sad for some reason. It really is beautiful and...has that epic feel to it. Yes, that's what I like about this unique storyline.

X would have fourth. Good storyline and all that jazz, but I thought the gameplay wasn't as long. Perhaps if they added more stuff to the storyline, I would've find it more interesting. Ahh, but can't argue with the ending. Best ending ever, methinks.

XII is fifth. It was certainly different from all the FF games I've played before, and I suppose I just have to get more used to it. Although it's a little confusing (yes, I know I have to play it again sometime), I do find the storyline still good though.

And then X-2 will be last. Well, I'm sure you all know why. No need for me to explain. I'm tired, lol.

Yea, that's kind of how I feel. Even with games I don't necessarily love, I don't really hate any of them. (FFVIII) And it's also hard for me because there are a lot of games in the series that don't necessarily have a lot of plot... but are still great games. (FFV)

Final Fantasy VII is definitely my favorite. The series unto itself isn't... but the original is the best, bar none. It's amazing. If you understand the plot, which not a lot of people even do, it's just so incredibly complex. Unlike other games like Final Fantasy X, it's very possible to know absolutely everything about this game. For the most part, I'm happy to say I do. The only one that might have me beat on here is Lady Aerith and only because she can read. lol Damn FFVII books... damn Pennsylvania hick education. (I actually had to look up how to spell education while making this post...)

It is amazing though. I find most of the time I'm defending the plot or correcting people than I am discussing it. I hardly reply in half of the FFVII topics anymore because I feel beaten up by people who don't understand the plot. lol And it's so great. I really see it more as a work of art than I do a game. I'm a huge fan but I'm not a fanboy. I don't go crazy and drool over the plot and yell "Sephiroth is my man-stallion!" in FFVII topics... but I really do adore the complexities and insights of the plot. There are so many levels to that game... and most people struggle with just understanding the most superficial parts.

My favorite storyline has to be FFVII, second place i'd go with FFIX.

Gotta love Cloud and Aeris.

Peace,

Final Fantasy X.

You never knew what to expect. So great of a game, that today no one can even fathom all the complexities of it. From Seymour, to Omega, to the Yevon religion, to the Calm and Zanarkand. From the Al-bhed relationships with the rest of the world to the Stolen fayth of Yojimbo in the Caverns below. Each backstory of characters, each relationship, each hint of the past in a smirk or a quick witty comment, all imply that FFX had one of the best plots ever.

What was Yunalesca really thinking? What are all the details of the War that took place 1000 years ago between Zanarkand and Bevelle? The Thunder Plains and how the lighting towers were set up by Gondolf and how he eventually died...

I could go on forever, but some of us need sleep.

I have to say that FFVII has the best story, it is so deep and cool. It is hard to decide the second best storyline, but I really liked FFIX and the characters in the game. The third best, FFX, is really great and it is something new and I like it very much.

This is just what I think and I haven't played FFI-VI yet.

I think that FF VII has the best story, I mean who would have known that sephiroth was killed by cloud, and the cloud we had was really a puppet.

Why would we get mad?

You're allowed to think X is the best game. I didn't put VII down as my favorite either.
