Well in that case, you can either buy a PSP or dl a ROM 
Oh, I forgot to mention something. The game has two main characters. And they both kick ass and are exceptionally well-developed. One is just a badass, the other knows when to be a badass. There's no whiny emo people in the game, which alone makes it worth playing. The pacing is kind of spastic, however....although that mainly depends on your skill level and how much leveling you'll need to do (which will be alot). It definitely is the most compelling story though.
And just in case you've heard people whine about the bad translation...well, the game came out the same year VII did, so yes, it does have a few mistakes, but like VII they're nothing that will hamper your understanding. |

The story from 7 to 12 were all great. They all had that effect on you when you play each one of them, which is that you become indulged by the fantasy world and story.
I forget that sometimes its not real. It's great how all of the ff have different themes. They all range from:
Romance
Political
Destiny
Belonging, etc.
Those were just a few of the main themes that could be discovered in the different ff games. They all had a story to tell, so lets see what they can do.
I haven't played final fantasy I through to VI yet though...

It's worth it though. In the PSP version you can recruit Balthier from XII and Luso from TA as well as Cloud from VII. They are all really strong when they join the party. Balthier is very quick and usually has 2-3 turns before anyone takes a turn, Lusu and Cloud have high strenght, and Cloud starts of at Lvl 1 so, he fast becomes one of your strongest party members.

From Final Fantasy 7 to 12 the storyline were all amazingly great, but of course the one that stuck out was of course 7,

Final Fantasy 9 had the best story in my opinion. Kuja really showed the fraility of a doomed child. Dagger's reaction to loss was great, and the overall climatic feel of inevitable destruction really set the tone for the game. At no point do you feel like the story forgot someone was out to destroy the world. Best characters + second best villain = Best Story

*Stares in shock.* You mean, I'm no longer the lone voice acclaiming the superiority of Tactics? WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN ALL THIS TIME???!!! Judge Rulia, get a PSP! The translation mistakes have been fixed in the port process, not to mention the addition of several great mini quests. Thank God, it's about time you people crawled out of the woodwork...

I'm sorry, I only found this site last week! 
But yeah, it's a great game, and the 5th one I've played, in order:
X > VI > X-2 > XII > T

In my opinion, no game will ever beat FF7's storyline. It had huge plot twists, love triangles, death, sadness, and on and on. The game really pulled you in, and I felt such a deep conection with the characters. FF7 ftw!
Second best would be FFIX. It had an awesome storyline as well, and I really enjoyed playing it.

Okay, okay, I forgive you. It's just been a rough several months, as all the tactics fans used to confine themselves in the Tactics subforum. Just help me spread the wildfire that is 'Tactics fever' across the General Discussion threads. Many of these people, such as Judge Rulia, have yet to see the light. Their souls must be saved! |
