I feel bad saying this because nearly everyone has but..... I'm going to have to say VII. This is probably because it was the first one I played. KH has a great story but that's not for here.

Really? I always thought the KH story was a bit crap. Unless your talking about KH2, that story was pretty awesome.

Unfortunately, I did not get the opportunity to play all those Final Fantasy games, so I cannot decide which is better. However, if I had to choose between the ones I've played... I think it would be a toss up between IX & X. The only other 2 that I've played through are VII & XII and I believe those could've been a lot better... that's not saying the other ones couldn't have been though.

I would have to say I liked Final Fantasy VIII's storyline the most, I was so addicted to it and I never got bored of it once. I have always liked it more than any of the others, it was very perfect to me. I also like the storyline for X as well, it's quite beautiful really but VIII gets it!

All of the story lines are pretty good really! They are all unique and special in their own ways.

IX, in my opinion. For one, the story revolves around so many of the characters, it's not just one or two main characters and then the rest are tag-alongs. It's got a romance story tied into it that isnt sappy in the least. It's got the whole political, kingdom at war thing that XII failed at. You have Kuja, who's behind the political story manipulating things as he wants them to go. Then there's Garland and the Iifa tree who are manipulating the very souls of the planet. And throughout the entire story you're finding out more and more things about the characters that intertwine their pasts and relate them that they didnt know about and that you didnt expect. It's really quite fantastic.

I would have to pick X for the second best storyline. A boy is thrown 1000 years into the future, where humanity has had to start civilization all over again. You have the ever-present threat of Sin wiping out communities and keeping the people in fear. You have the controlling Yevon religion, which keeps humanity from technologically advancing by declaring "machina" evil. There's the religiously-persecuted Al Bhed. Then as the story progresses we find out about the inner workings of the corrupt, hypocritical Yevon and about Tidus's existence. Even the summons have a bit of a story, rather than just being mystical creatures to be summoned. I suppose it does have the romance element to it with Tidus and Yuna, but i dont think it was done nearly as well as in IX, plus i just dont like Tidus and Yuna's personality is a bit ripped off of Garnet.

I'll have to go with FFVII, cause of the plot and I love the way you find out the stories of each of the characters in the game as you travel.

FFX, no doubt in my mind, it's the typical "boy gets whisked away to a strange place and has the fate of the planet thrust upon him" story, but the characters and their personalities make it unique for me

The best storylane would have to be X or VIII. thos were exccelent, but if I had to pick only one of them I would pick X. All that Sin, Summoner, Aeon stuff was great. The characters were unique kinda... So anyway I pick 10
