Do you think Square-Enix Titles Storylines are getting better or poorer?

It all depend on what you like. I think 7 and 9 are the best then 8 then 10 then 10-2 and finally 11. But with you you dont like 9 so everyone is going to like one title and not like another.

pooer. i remember when i would miss school for a square game. and it was all worth it. the ff series, tales of maia, brave fencer musashi, even enix's star ocean which had a lot of time. the probelm here is that the last 2 people have hated on was ff x-2 because of how obviously terrible it was and the next ff was an online mmorpg. many don't get into that and refuse to pay a monthly fee. square eniz is going to come strong. i thinks that why they pressed so hard for ff 12 and 3 different types of ff 13.

As you know, Square-Enix has (over the last few years) been releasing a lot of new games and as you saw from E3, Fans went Wild after hearing about all the new games that Square-Enix are going to be releasing soon.
I was wondering, from your own opinions, do you think Square-Enix Titles are getting better Storylines?

Please Explain your answers in as Full as you can.

This is how I rate it:

FF 10 &10-2 : Amazing graphics but too much focus in love between Yuna and Tidus (Too little focus on other char)

FF 9             : Worst because they focus less on this game(Bad grahic and boring stroyline)

FF 8             :  Better graphic and 3D (Too much love story and new look for some GF)

FF 7              : Storyline is distribute evenly (Biggest Change in FF games)

I like FF 8 & 7 story better then FF 10 but gameplay for FF 10 is better then others and FF 9 the worst FF game I ever played. I'm looking forward to play FF 12.

Well, the storylines have been doing the same patterns over the years. You can't come up with a winner all the time, especially not an amazing winner. But I think that all of the stories have been better than decent, so I'm not going to complain.

i dont know. they always seem different. heres my ratings on stories.

ff i- 6/10

ff ii- 8/10

ff iv- 8/10

ff v- 8.5/10

ff vi- 9.5/10

ff vii- 9.5/10

ff viii- 9.5/10

ff ix- 8.5/10

ff x- 9/10

ff x-2- 8/10

seems that they got more developed in later ff,s.

Personally, I think Square is running out of ideas....

I loved VII's story, it was original and complexed. Sephiroth, at that time, was the most original villian FF had ever seen and probably the enitre RPG genre as well. Cloud's character was brilliant and the mystery behind his existence throughout the game was a tremendously engaging story that has left Cloud as the second best character in the entire FF series next to Celes, in my opinion. FFVIII was not as original as VII by any means, but thats partially because many of the ideas behind the world's structure and the personallity of the characters were already presented by FFVII. Then came FFIX, and no matter how good that game is, I truly believe that this is when Square started to lose its creativity. The world, the characters and the entire feel of the game was FFs I-V and some of the story elements from the game ***FF9 Spoilers!*** , such as Zidane's cloning and Vivi's search for the meaing of existence were very comparible to ***FF7 and FF6 Spoilers!*** Cloud's clone storyline and Celes/Terra 's storylines from FF6.

Then came FFX, which to me was a story that was plain and simply over thought-out and presented by Square. While it certainly had its moments of creativity, the game just felt like playing Crono Cross to me at the start and from there just turned into a cluster****. FFXI basically had no story and to say that FF Crystal Chronicles had a story would be an absolute joke!

Now look at Square. Creativity has been thrown out the window for bringing back the past. FF7:AC, FF7: DOC, FF7:CC, FFX-2 and now FFXII, a game that I am really hyped about, is bringing back the world of Ivalice found in FFTactics and FFTacticsADV. I have yet to spoil any of FFXII's story, mostly because I love the look of it thus far, so I don't know if Square is going to take off with any cliches in that game or not, but I unfortunately suspect they will....

So yeah, thats just my opinion. I know I didn't include anything on FFs I-VI, buts that just because those games were all pretty much original for their time and other than FFV's character's feeling more like Power Rangers than Adventurers (seriously, just play the game) I loved everything about those game's stories....
