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.

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 ^,.,^
