What kind of Story you Like???

Or just post any story plot you like!
Here, of course...

FF4 and FF9 are the best final fantasy because of the time period. And they have fantasy. FF8 was dumb because they made it all sci-fi future stuff. So was 7.

Personally, I like a good mystery, with Romance, Humour, and Quick Adventure scenes thrown into the mix.

I like stuff that's very dramatic, but not cheesey. Usually good if it involves the good/bad sides of religion, and ESPECIALLY tasty if the main character winds up dead.

Depending on how I'm feeling, I'll either want to play something that is so incredibly deep and compelling that you have to spend hours sorting out all of the incredible complications, or something so simple and straightforward that it's sweet (I had to stop myself from saying "short and sweet," because straightforwardness does not necessarily mean less gameplay *points to Dragon Warrior 3*).

I like stories with a good plott, not too serious all the way through, some comedy sequeezed inbetween but not to the point where it's labeled as a 'comedy'. I like drama and heart-breaking endings. Or, those endings that make you think on it for a month or longer. I also like endings where it hints a lot towards a sequel or something of the sort. Dramatic and comedic for me.

Oh, yeah, humor is a necessary component of a good game.  Or, being able to derive humor where none was intended.  "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US NOW"

Aye, I didn't give mine...

I like a story with complexity about "what is human, and life itself?"
And International conflict...
With a little of romance sauce....
And a lot of action... Of course.

Oh, and with a setting of mixed fantasy and real world.

Yeah, that sounds good. Romance is a key element in games for me. Take Final Fantasy X, for instance, Yuna and Tidus had a good romance. Sora and Kairi from Kingdom Hearts- many others as well.

I believe that romance is a negative factor in gameplay.  It's way, way overused, and shouldn't be used as a central plot device.  Especially when the entire basis of the villain's actions are to win the love of someone.  Bleh.

i personally like sci-fi, since thats not an option i choose fantasy since its close and sometimes the same...

That's why I use romance as a sauce...
Not as the main factor of the storyline.

'cause I didn't understand what is love anyway...

I like them all - mixed, because nothing is good if it's overused... But if I had t pick one it would be fantasy - I simply like when I can do something that doesn't have to be logical for modern science

I like them all (if we delete the romance part )

Yesss, finally.  But yeah, a little of each genre should be used... in moderation.

A great story has all of the elements you are polling on. Think about Saving Private Ryan. That had everything... except romance, instead it had male bonding.

As you wish...
I've removed the romance option and...
Read the poll again, I made some new choices.

Agh, you and your.... ambiguous choices...

Thanks to this post, I hate you more than ever. Not because you don't like ff8, but because you don't like it because of its time period. You don't deserve videogames.


I like epic heroism to slowly blossom forth from the main character, with a hint of romance. The more tragic, the better.

As far as time period goes, I really don't think it matters at all, as long as the story's good. Who cares what time period it's in?

I like when game has romance with slight erotic in it. It helps to make our protagonists more deep, not just some heroes that want to save the world, but persons with complex psychology and intense emotions. And sad-endings... well it doesn't need to be sad end, but I like when game story is shocking and unpredictable, and that is mostly done in negative rather than positive way. Dark and serious, but in the other hand needs to have it's comic moments. Easter-eggs are fine with me too.

Every decent video game needs one awesomely amazing character who helps out the heroes - but only when they're in an incredibly tight pinch!  Throughout the course of the game, the player needs to anticipate the point when said character will actually join the party.  Unfortunately, the character never actually joins, but that leaves lots of room for bad fanfiction.  And what would a great side-character be without bad fanfiction?  Nothin'.

omg, I do everything within my power to avoid games with erotic themes, even if it's not a major proponent of the plot.  That definitely gets a big "doubleyoo-tee-eff!!" in my mind.

*CLAPS!*

Oh my GOD I laughed so hard! I totally agree with EVERYTHING you just said!

You need to put that in your sig!

Do any games have only one of what was listed? most games have elements of at least two.

i loved dragon warrior 3 for that straight forwardness :-) it was a FUN game to play as opposed to Final fantasy which felt more like a chore to play.
