Best story?

[Destination0]

I am surprised to see FFT getting very few votes...
I think it had the best story of all FF series...
everyone thinks that delta is hero in the war...and the real hero was someone else...
It was full of surprises, betrayal, etc...
FF7 is so overrated...may be a good game but defiantly not the best story...

Final Fantasy Tactics has the best story, and anyone who has played all the way through it must think so.

For those who selected FF7 or higher, I'm curious if you all ever really played FF1-6.

I just want to remind all of you FFX fans out there that they made 6 of them before FF7 came out.

Jeez, I'll shut up now.

Im not interested in how great FFT was mainly because Square wasnt interested in letting me or any other europeans play it.

VI was a great game but I prefer VII.

V was a mediocre game and VII's better

IV was alright, VII was great,

II was BAD, VII wasnt

I was amusing but not that great, I pick VII.

VII wins.

Feion, I started with ff5 if it makes you happy.

And I've played all three of the snes ones (and most of ff2^_^)

I still like ff8 best though

ff4 is dull. I can't say much for it.

I think FFIX had the best story. Well, ok that looks obvious, but it really did. Best love story, well-developed lead character, awesome villain with his own inner conflict, multiple worlds, it's got it all!

I simply fail to understand how ANYONE could find FFIV dull. Yes, the translation was mangled and the script itself could definitely use a re-write, but if you look at just the straight up plot... hell, the characters were interesting, the interactions were definitely there, even if a little garbled... the story was twisty turny with political intrigue and several unlikely alliances on both sides... if it had better dialogue and graphics, I have a feeling that most of the FF community would be on their knees worshiping it. Second, maybe third best overall if you look at it from that point of view, but no lower than that, certainly, and DEFINITELY an overlooked game.

*Shrugs*

The graphics were fine. I just thought it was boring, for most of the same reasons that I think ff9 is.

I'm just not a medieval fan, I guess.

[Dark Warrior]

I think that all FF storylines are great (1-9), (I didn't played 10, 10-2, tactics,... yet) But my vote is for FF2, cause has a really great moments.

I think that all of us had to imagine every FF like a book (a really good one). In that way we don't make the desition based in graphics or something else.

1st) FF VI
2nd) FF X
3rd) FF 7
Worst)FF 8

[The Man]

IV, closely followed by VI. IV has the most interesting character interactions, by far.

[Destai]

I have to ask, How?

[The Man]

Because virtually all the characters in the plot have a tremendous amount of interaction with each other. (SPOILER)Cecil stole Rosa, the girlfriend of Kain, who gets mind-controlled by Golbeza, who kills the girlfriend of Edward, who incited Tellah's wrath for stealing his daughter, and it goes on and on and on. All the characters have strong reasons to like or dislike one another; if any of the characters had been absent, the game would have changed significantly. Which is a big change from the other games, because let's face it, if Cait Sith or Umaro had been written out, all we'd lose is a couple of side quests.

[Destai]

Point taken.

[Shoden]

definatly VII the story is brilliant great sidequests and most of the Characters are the best ever X was excellent but it ties with VIII yes i have played I,II,IV and VI and still find modern FFs better

BEST: VII
2nd. X
3rd: VIII

[feioncastor]

I hafta ask now (SPOILER)At what point do you learn that Rosa was originally with Kain? I know that Kain tries to steal her from Cecil, while she's being held in the tower of Zot, but I never heard anything about Cecil stealing her from Kain...
