3. Tales of Xillia. The story is so good that if it was (faithfully) made into an anime, it would be right up there with Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood for me.

I love the tales series. I know the latest didn't have the best story, but I'm a sucker for romance stories (and fighting against oppressors).

Honestly, I think FF7 has the best gaming story. Maybe FF10.

Expedition 33 and the Mass Effect trilogy (skip Andromeda) are my favs.

 

[Arkus86]

I think To the Moon series deserves a mention.
And Quintessence: The Blighted Venom, even though it was unfortunately never finished.

What games do you think have the best stories? Here's my top three...

3. Tales of Xillia. The story is so good that if it was (faithfully) made into an anime, it would be right up there with Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood for me.

2. Alan Wake. I'm replaying it right now. The only game I can think of that doesn't feel like a drag when it slows down and makes you walk from one NPC to another so they can yap at you for ten minutes.

1. Kingdom Hearts. Yes, this is absolutely the nostalgia talking. It's the game that first showed me I could enjoy a game for the story instead of just the gameplay. It's not a work of art, but it still holds up as a fun adventure story (until the later games went completely off the rails, anyway)

Warhammer Rogue Trader
Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous
Fate/Stay Night
and of course; teh SMT series.
Been playin SMTV recently and its lotsa fun.
Team is Lilim, Succubus, Nekomata, and Super-Strong Knight-guy too.
Nekomata is totally my favorite though ^,.,^

#1 - When the Seagulls Cry, play with the Umineko Project mod for professional voice acting and better sprites, unless you prefer this:

 

[Bimbanana]

Suikoden series
Front Mission III & IV

No question

 

[Juia_Darkcrest]

Final Fantasy 6 and 7.
And the remake of 7 has been insane so far...

Also, the Mass Effect series has an interesting story, at least up to the last 15 minutes of ME3... everything after that doesn't exist IMO lol

I refuse to play the 7 remakes. All I wanted was to experience the first game with modern gameplay and graphics. Who the hell asked for this stupid time travel rebootquel crap?

Hah... if they make 8 again, it needs to be from the ground up...that stupid magic junction system plus draw farming was annoying as hell

SMTV is fun too.
You can hang out in camp and talk to your friends (demons).
And give them gifts to improve stats and stuff.
It also has photo mode. In addition to great story and all that stuffs too.
Team Nekomata forever ^,.,^
(This is a new picture too from a little while ago, cuz I didn't have a good one before)
