But honestly, give me the names of your favorite RPGs and I will be able to point out a dozen flaws in their stories. Remember, they're just games. IMHO your just spreading about flame. Instead of picking a game and giving a good argument about why the story sucked, it sounds more like you spent the last 24 hours doing research on those games you posted looking for the slightest flaws.

Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 4, Fire Emblem RD, Dragon Quest 2, 4, 5, 8, Tales of Phantasia/Symphonia, Lufia 2, Breath of Fire 2, Paper Mario series

That won`t work

1) I am not an idiot, I don`t play a RPG for stories. If I wanted a good plot I would read a book(and I usually do, that is why I know when a story is rotten).

2) The best I hope for a RPG plot is to either entertain me or not get into the way by being retarded. That is why I have no problem with simple or generic (to some degree) stories.

3) I am not a insecure kid who lose his reason to live when someone tell me one of my favorite games suck. So if you find flaws (real or not) with my game I won`t tell you to stop playing games. BTW that is a reference to the 2 facist sympathizers, not you.

4) CT and the Tales games plot is nothing special, but the characters are interesting. Final Fantasy 4 plot is retarded, but it was good game for its time and I love the battle system. Dragon Quest is as generic as it can get (defeat the evil lord and save the world), I play it for the classic feeling and challenge. Lufia 2 is generic but has awesome puzzles and great dungeon design. Fire Emblem had a good (more political) plot, but they screwed it at the end. That did not affect the rest of the amazing game for me. I like BOF 2 gameplay and I am indifferent to its plot. Paper Mario greatness lies in the fact that it do not take itself seriously.

 

Last, I would like to say that there is no such info on Wikipedia. I remember most of those games plot, I did not spend 24 hours researching (I have more important stuff to do) on these shitty games. When I make a claim about a game, I usually have a way to back it up. Ask me anything about these games (gameplay, plot, design) and I will tell what my problem is. I did not make a elaborate post on the plot of each game because that would take too much time. I just tried to remember the worst offenders.

Tales of Symphonia had interesting characters? Really? Did you forget about Colette? I guess thats just your opinion and i'll respect it. But......Colette sucked.
