Ranking Final Fantasy Games by Story

Among the older Final Fantasy games, 'Final Fantasy IV' has a strong story. It's a classic hero's journey with Cecil evolving from a dark knight to a paladin. The story is full of moral dilemmas and epic battles. 'Final Fantasy II' also has an interesting concept where the characters' stats grow based on their actions in the story. But it's not as polished as some of the later ones in terms of story. 'Final Fantasy I' has a simple yet effective story that sets the foundation for the series, with the Warriors of Light fighting the forces of darkness.

Well, for me, 'Final Fantasy IX' has a wonderful story. It takes us back to the roots of the series in some ways, with a more medieval - fantasy setting. The story of Zidane and his friends trying to save the world from an ancient evil is full of heart. Then there's 'Final Fantasy XIII'. While it got some mixed reviews, its story of Lightning and her fight against fate is quite interesting. And 'Final Fantasy IV' is a great one too. Cecil's journey from a dark knight to a paladin and his quest to save the world is a great narrative.

Final Fantasy X has a great story too. Tidus' journey in the world of Spira, dealing with the religion and the constant threat of Sin. The relationship between Tidus and Yuna is beautifully developed, and the overall theme of sacrifice and hope makes it one of the best in the series.

In order of story, it begins with Final Fantasy I. This game set the foundation for the series with its basic RPG elements and a simple yet engaging story of four Light Warriors. Next is Final Fantasy II, which deviated a bit from the first in terms of gameplay and story structure. Final Fantasy III brought new elements to the table both in gameplay and story. Final Fantasy IV had a story that was more character - driven, with Cecil's journey of redemption being a central part. As the series progressed, each new entry like Final Fantasy V, VI and beyond continued to build on and expand the lore and storylines of the Final Fantasy world.

In my opinion, 'Final Fantasy XIII' has one of the weaker stories. It was overly complex and hard to follow at times. On the other end, 'Final Fantasy VI' has an amazing story. It has a great cast of characters and a very engaging plot about war, power, and sacrifice. 'Final Fantasy IX' also has a great story with its themes of identity and love.

Then there's 'Final Fantasy X' which has a really engaging story about Tidus and Yuna's journey across Spira. The religious undertones and the character development are great. Also, 'Final Fantasy IX' has a charming story with a more medieval - fantasy feel and great character arcs for Zidane and Garnet.

Final Fantasy 7's story stands out because of its characters' personal stories intertwined with the overarching plot. Each character has their own motives and backstories that are deeply explored, which is similar to other Final Fantasy games in the sense that character development is key. But what makes it different is the way it presents a post - apocalyptic - like world in some areas due to Shinra's actions. This gives the story a sense of urgency and a different flavor compared to the more idyllic settings in other Final Fantasy games.
