Oh yeah. It's all coming together.

You know how Final Fantasy games never have plot holes? How the stories are always complete, from start to finish, and don't leave you wondering what just happened? Not to mention how it all just makes perfect, logical sense. It's Final Fantasy, after all! Right? ...right?

Of course not! So, which game do you think has the fewest plot holes, covers most loose ends, makes the most sense, etc?

[Hollycat]

I'm going to go with tactics, I think they did a fairly good job at covering most of the holes, even if a few were left.

Final Fantasy I

It has simple story. World is losing its balance, kill the bad guy...

[Del Murder]

Final Fantasy VI. There was no 'super supreme evil' that just randomly appears at the end. The bad guy at the end is the bad guy from the whole game and you know exactly how it got to that point.

Definitely this.

You can't have plot holes when you haven't got a plot.

[Jiro]

I was going to suggest FFI as well because having one giant plot hole is probably the closest to nil you can get. I can't think of many plot holes in IX either, really.

[Tigmafuzz]

I'm going to say IX. Although Kuja was powerful enough to have just killed everyone from the beginning anyway. I mean he didn't really need the eidolons, as even Bahamut only left him with a scratch. And it seems that only the party could have stopped him, so if he had just killed them back when they were weak he would have been able to do whatever. Riding his Nova Dragon in his girly clothes and setting black mages on villages.

[DMKA]

I have to agree, FFI is the undisputable winner here. But aside of FFI...

For me, that would be FFX. Or at least, that was the easiest one to fully comprehend and make sense, for me. I know a ton of people will read that and think I'm trolling, but I'm serious.

That's assuming you leave FFX-2 out of the equation. If we're considering the two games as a whole, then I have to go with FFVI.

FFVIII












lol jk

[Bolivar]

I actually don't think FFI's plot makes any sense, with the Elemental Fiends sending Garland back in time, and him sending them forward. They could've just said they kept him alive to guard the temple in case the seals blocking the crystals were broken, the time travel nonsense just seems superfluous. Good game though!

[Flying Arrow]

VI. It's just a really great setting with a very simple back story that is carried by the cast of characters. There's really not a whole lot to screw up... although maybe I'm saying that because Square nailed FFVI so well that I can't even imagine how it could have gone wrong. It's just this nearly perfect thing that just exists.

VII, I think, is really very solid too. There are a few hiccups here and there which is why I think VI is tighter, but if you just pay attention to the details VII is surprisingly well done (surprising because of the silly over-hype that's been happening for 15 years). Cloud, Tifa, and Aeris are still my favourite group of characters from a game story.

>>> FF1 has no plot holes? you are kidding right?
The whole game is a plot hole, time loop anyone? it even spawned 2 Dissidia games, I mean.. seriously..*head explodes*.

[VeloZer0]

Time travel = plot holes is a fairly universal rule, IMO.

[Hollycat]

Time travel = plot holes is a fairly universal rule, IMO.

See Artemis Fowl the Time Paradox. One plot hole so far, to be resolved in the next two books.

[VeloZer0]

That usually just means that you haven't looked hard enough.
