i disagree. i think ff7 had one of the best plots going. i don't know about THE best plot tho . . .

come to think of it, i don't think any ff plot is truly pathetic, except maybe x-2. however i think this is made up with the use of the job system. i think that the dressphere system is probably the best battle system going. i also like ff5 for the job system too, tho i prefer x-2 because 5 takes a blow in the graphics department. (and i know they're brilliant for when they were created so don't start arguing! )

the best plot? i dunno, always a toss up between 7, 8, and 10.
