The problem with the story isn't that it was told before, throughout the whole game you are presented with a big mystery by the end of the 3rd disc the game opens up and I found the big reveal to be dissapointing even kind of silly also the last boss is probably the worst in the series closely followed by the heart-thing from ffx. Don't get me wrong the game has many great things like the characters the ost the world the chocobo mini game, but I just don't see it as the best of the series, sure every ff has it's problems for example the ending in ff7 sucked but overall I found ff7 much better than ff9

Each FF fan have a different one they think it is the best and I think it have to do with which was the first they tried.

I don't think it's really the case. I started playing Final Fantasy with the very first game on NES but my favorite is VII.
