The Longest Journey (2000, PC)

Any top list for best videogame stories with TLJ in it has to be good. It's just a shame they didn't mention Panzer Dragoon Saga...

Yes, that list has some good ones. It's missing some important ones, though. Zelda:OOT? Chrono Trigger?

Alot of people really like the story of this game. I never really liked the story much to me the main selling points were the visuals, gameplay and concept.

never got around to playing TLJ since i primarily use a mac... but i played dreamfall and loved it. as for that list, shouldn't they have put FFVII instead? i mean, i didn't play it myself, but i've heard it's the best FF story ever made... they're still makin spin-offs like crazy (i got dirge of cerberus btw).

I'd imagine it's possible to emulate TLJ on a mac by now. You should really play it, it's better than Dreamfall in just about every way.

I agree.

Final Fantasy VI has the most engrossing story - Who can forget Kefka...
(Actually it made the list Cool )

FFVII was hyped so much - even before it's US release.
Lots of 'issues' (Cross dressing and such) prompted fears that the game would be severely cut or not released.

But after pleas from the worldwide Final Fantasy Community, Squaresoft released it although the translation was the pits.

It's good (first game that made me shed tears), but it's not the best in my opinion.
FFVII Crisis Core was just a shoddy cash-in attempt.
'nuff said.

would love to, but it would seem as though i bought my mac the year before the pentium ones came out... they're far better for doin that stuff than mine... mine's way obsolete now... so sad... oh well, i expect i'll upgrade in the next year or two once i got a decent job.

Whats so great about the story?
