Well, the story in Zelda 3 wasn\'t much for the world *hiding for the flames*, and Secret of Manas story sucked, very unprofessional storytelling and no strong characters *dodges*.
I loved the earlier ff games. I\'ve never played ff1 since it was released on NES. I tried it, but the old graphics scared me away.
Ff2 was great. The graphics may be nothing compared to today, but the story is so good it hurts.
Ff3 is even better. One of the best games ever made, and if you havn\'t played it yet, then do it.
ff5 is pretty unknown, but still it\'s a great game. Perhaps not as good story as ff2 and ff3, but still very good.
ff7 is still the best RPG-game ever made. I\'ve never played a game with a story so engaging, characters so strong and music so wonderful.
The only game that can be compared to the ff series is \"Chrono-trigger\".
