It depends on the FF. 6 & 7 had the best stories IMO.

It depends on the FF, but so far they have been pretty good. My favorite Final Fantasy stories are FF7's and FF9's, followed by FF6's. What I like about them are that they have deep themes that make you think. FF4's story comes next. It's a pretty generic RPG story, but it's made very well. Then comes FF5 and FF8 stories, which aren't too great, but they keep you interested and they get better when you play the game for the 2nd or 3rd time. FF2 and FF3 have pretty good stories. They aren't anything special by today's RPG standards, but they are still entertaining. FF2's story is amazingly tragic, in fact.

FF1's quite hard to rate because the game's not so story-focused. It would be totally alright if it wasn't for that time-loop story, which just doesn't make sense. I didn't like FFX's story, really. It was way too linear, and everything was given to you on a plate. No big surprises or twists anywhere, and the storyline isn't even very spectacular. I haven't played FFX-2 or FFXI yet, but I've heard their stories aren't bad, though not too great, either. I wonder if Square can make a new excellent story for FFXII.

I did not see it that way at all. I found it pretty surprising at times, especially what regards Tidus, Auron and Jecht.

Well, I wasn't surprised at all. Auron kind of looked like a ghost, so it wasn't surprise to me that he was an Unsent. And the cliche of the villain being the main character's father has been there ever since Star Wars Episode V, so that didn't shock me either.

Oh, I forgot Tactics. I haven't played much of it, but from what I've seen, the story seems impressive. Could someone tell me about how good they think FFT and FFTA stories are?
