I'll have to mull this one over for a bit, but I believe I may end up choosing Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords. Sadly I haven't played through enough Planescape for it to contend yet. But KotOR's story and characters were all very interesting and intertwined very well, even the bad guys had deep relationships with a hand full of the good guys. Made for some interesting drama, even if there was very little "epic intense drama/action". It was a little subdued but very well done. In my critical amateur opinion
But if we're going with favorite, then probably Xenogears, as I think it could easily be destroyed by a critic, but I adored the world, the story, the characters, the build up and development of everything. It makes me happy
what game is this?Quote:

Thanks. My own Google attempt seemed to fail me. :shobon:
FFVII, although I've not finished Lost Odyssey and from what I have played (a significant amount) I suspect it could be better than VII.
EDIT: If you count Dreamfall / The Longest Journey as RPGs, I'll also add them to this list.
Stuff like Deus Ex is very very good... some have really strong characters that kind of make the story seem better than it is...
But it has to be Final Fantasy X. Everything past that bit in Home, especially? Amazing.
I may need a refresher. What is that? Also, congrats on the name change (I think?) glad to know the non-underscored version was available for youQuote:

VIII or X.
Some day I'm going to play my copy of Xenogears. I only ever played the demo before, and that was two decades ago!Quote:

A lot of contenders here. I'm gonna have to agree with all the people posting Planescape: Torment and Xenogears, since both of these games have incredible stories. Xenogears has the one flaw compared to Torment, however - it's too long for its own good at first, then cut. Hence, we have loads of padding on disc one, and then the second disc, where we get to the juicy bits, is pretty minimalist if, though I have to say it has some interesting presentation. Torment, on the other hand, is short and concise. A bit too short, even. So yeah :D
I'm also gonna add Persona 3 and 4 here, since those were amazing (Innocent Sin was great too, butI haven't played Eternal Punishment, so I don't really know the whole story), as well as FF Tactics Advance. It and Tactics have probably the best stories in the entire franchise. To hell with the X hype :p
Still, I don't think any RPG may rival my favorite video game story of all time. That title has to go to Silent Hill 2.
Yeah, Silent Hill 2 is another good one. Definitely one of those narratives that would not work as anything but a game.
I may have to do it ;)Quote:
