In the new age final fantasies, i think that ff7 probably had the plot that made the most sense, but i will have to disagree with dark dragon knight when he says that 9 has more of a plot that 8. I think that 8 held it together pretty well throughout the entire game, it got a little sketchy with the time compression stuff, but so do all games that deal with time travel. 9 i have a problem with, the game went along so well, everything was going fine until they just decide to throw the crystal in at the very last moment of the game. I don't remember them talking about it hardly at all in the game, and another thing i don't understand, when you defeat trance Kuja, why do i fight a gigantic robot-looking thing? my friend told me that it was the essence of the crystal, but i am still confused why squaresoft did what they did at the end of ff9. well, whatever, i guess all of the final fantasies have their plot-holes but who cares? i thought they were all great.......except maybe 6 (that game drove me insane at times)
