Story is automatically a good thing?

I think story is a plus... For certain types of games, you don't need a strong one to go on... Like Mario.

But for some other games, like RPGs like let's say Star Ocean or Final Fantasy, it is some sort of motivation, imo. You want to know what happens next... So you go on.

I wouldn't have spent that much time to level up if the story was BS. Yes of course I loved the gameplay, especially Star Ocean, but it is also the story that keeps me captivated until the very last moment.

Also, there's nothing more satisfying than to see the ending scene after all the things you've gone through. Like in FFX... Such an amazing and dramatic way to end the game... I loved it (even though FFX-2 ruined it to me).

That makes me want to have more story involved in some games, like Zelda... But it doesn't have to be linear... Like based on the actions or decisions you take there could be different events triggered, like in Star Ocean.

But anyways, I've talked now for too long. Oh and no bashing please, that's just how I feel about games. I know there are probably much people who don't agree. ;)
