Problem Yet to be Solved
Just watched the new Final Fantasy XIII trailer. It looks incredible, especially since the main character isn't a blond white male, but for other reasons as well.
Can anyone recommend me a game with as strong of a storyline as Final Fantasy VII? Either for the Wii (which I'm guessing doesn't have that many if any at all), PS2, or Gamecube.

Persona 3 & 4 were both great rpgs in the later stretch of the ps2. The Breath of Fire game that came out was pretty cool but got somewhat annoying. You were kinda on a timer and every time you died you had to start the game over, but you at least still had your powers intact. Yet another was the Xenosaga series even though i'm quite certain that they only came out with the first 2 games and never finished the trilogy.

Go play legend of legaia, final fantasy 8(my favorite), star ocean or chrono trigger/cross. Emulate if needed, these are all classics

I actually got one of my best friends Persona 3 for Christmas, so I might borrow that from him... Though I should give him back PSO first.
@rms: The only game I haven't played is Legend of Legaia. I'll check it out.
And as far as comparing VII and VIII goes, I found the characters on VII to be much more easy to relate to. Every single one of them had some sort of struggle, Cloud and his identity, Red XIII and his father's history, Vincent and the death of Lucrecia, etc. I didn't get far enough into the game to be able to judge Zell and Selphie but they were serious turn-offs to me as far as VIII is concerned.

it's just a much darker, more mature, more memorable game in pretty much every way. better soundtrack, too.

only the story is completely convoluted and bullshit
sure 8 has the silly time compression deal, but I found myself more moved by the Rinoa/Squall story than anything in 7.

I liked the story in 8 better than 7. But other than that 7 was a better game. The whole Materia system was tons better than drawing magic in 8, which got kinda annoying to me. Although, the GF abilities were cool. Like using enc-none and Doomtrain's junction ability to combine magic with your weapons. All in all, I would rather play 8 because for what other reason would you play a rpg than for its story.
@Eligos : Persona 3 is a great game, but you can only control your character. They changed this in 4 so if that would be a problem for you I suggest you get the more recent addition.

Persona 3 is pretty terrible. Way too repetitive and relationship-sim-esque, not to mention a total weeaboo game. I liked it at first but quickly tired of the incredibly repetitive gameplay and general lameness.

Meh, I liked it more than yet another cliched rpg that the same story has been told since the snes days. Also liked the elimination of random encounters. And honestly I can't really think of another rpg worth getting on the ps2 other than Rogue Galaxy, which I should have suggested first. Shin Megame Tensei Digital Devil Saga I suppose.

Weeaboo meaning overly cutesy, I'm guessing? Like Ragnarok Online?
Shin Megame Tensei is a damn good series. Love the SNES games.
@Mort: I always remember Aerith's death as well as that scene on the third disc where Tifa and Cloud fall into the life stream and she explores his memories to be incredibly moving.

Nah, it's a game most otaku or weeaboo kids play just so they can say they lurved it and the music and relationships you develop are so kawaii :3 etc.
BTW I have the new SMT game on DS, the Devil Survivor one. It's good.
