What Final Fanatsy has the best storyline?

[Drive]

I think FFTACTICS had the best story and if tactics doesn't count I would say FFVI.

[Talis]

FFVI, FFVII, FFVIII, and X

all good in my humble opinion.

[Tauguy]

Imo
1. FFVIII (im a sucker for romance like Squall and Rinoas)
2. FFVI (Really nice story that caught my eye quickly)
3. FFX (I thank god everyday that i decided not to play X-2)
4. FFIX (Very emotional, Zidane broke the "im a knight so i must be the hero" mold)
5. FFIV (Cecil would have been cooler as a drk but the game came together and won me over ....damn spoony bard, you know im gonna use that one in FFXI)

[Reiki]

1. FFT
2. FFIV
3. FFVI
4. FFVII
5. FFIII (Go Onion Knights! )

FFVII was the first one I played; thought it was great and played through all the previous games. Found most of them to be even better. VIII and up were all great games, just didn't seem to be as great as their predecessors.

P.S. Worse FF game ever is FFT: Advance. The GBA's story was so simple and childish it made me sick. Gameplay seemed much simpler than original (like no casting time:mad:!)

That is truely sad. FFTA was an awesome portable. You must not have played all the Final Fantasy games... try Legends 1-3. Also, FFMQ sucks too, but it was made for beginners and was made by Squaresoft of America.

As do some people, I think FFVII is overrated. It's the only FF where I shook my head, stood up, and went to go turn off my machine.

On the positive note, I liked FF: Tactics. Now THAT is a great storyline. It has everything: romance, irony, betrayal, and a good flow that makes you wonder what the hell's gonna happen next.

I meant it as the worse FF storyline-wise. The plot was so simple and very predictable. The game itself was great and fun to play, but I soppose I was just expecting too much in comparison to the original (also, i was REALLY hoping it would support link battles so you can fight your friend's clan).

I didn't even think of Legends; I played 1 and 2 and the storyline's were not too bad. But considering they were on the original gameboy, gameplay was pretty good. Also, don't forget FF Adventure; it was an action/rpg in one and is my favorite of the gameboy FF's. I've never played FFMQ so I can't comment on it.

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

I've beaten BG2/ToB and KotOR and the story of FFVII is much better in my opinion. The story in FFVII is in every way so rich and unpredictable with clever little traps. BG has a nice story, but pretty much the only thing you do is follow Irenicus until you catch up with him and kick his ass. Actually, BG seems to replace a complext story with charcter developement (not talking about level building). In ToB we get some more variation, but still nothing incredible.

KotOR was also quite predictable. The end (which I won't spoil) kinda saves the whole thing, at least if you follow the light side.

Some of the reasons we may like the earlier games of the final fantasy sieries is probably because we were all a bit younger, and more easily impressed. It's just a theory. :sweat:

FFT had the best story. The character developpment was really good and the story was really well done. It was realistic and adapted for a mature audience, which is something I really liked.

This is true. But you can say that for most things you do in life. Memories are always embellished when compared to the present.

To me ff7 was a great game and a awesome story it is my favorite game and favorite story.

1. FF7
2. FF8
3. FF10

None Final Fantasy game
1. Legend of Dragoon

FFVI - Best story.
A lot of people like FFVII better, but that's because it was the first they played, and what made Final Fantasy so popular in the US. It wasn't bad, but not as good as FFVI.

FFIV - My Favorite.
This is the first one I played, and what got me hooked on Final Fantasy, and all things RPG related. It's not the best story, but better than most.

FFVII, FFVIII, and FFIX were also good in my opinion, and I have yet to completely finish FFI-III.

Final Fantasy Online web site did a special top 25 Square games, and I thing they did a good job of putting the games in the truly best order. Check it out and I bet most of you will agree.

VII was lame, lame villain, lame main character. Seph was a try hard Kefka but failed in all fields whereas Kefka actually managed to destroy the world and become a god.

My favorites were 4 and 6, 10 was close behind. 7, 8 and 9 all sucked.
