I personally believe that they are both equally important, because in a genre that would benefit from both, if either one sucks ass, the game is unplayable...
Here's my personal tier of importance of gaming elements (you can hate on me if you want):
Tied for first: Gameplay, Story, Replay Value, and Charisma (as in that of the characters; I'm not asking for gung-ho heroes, I just want to be able to like the good guys and, to a certain extent, the bad guys)
Tied for second: Creativity (as in Innovation, not necessarily graphics), Atmosphere, and Sound
Last place: Graphics.

You want to like the bad guys?  I am pretty sure you are suppose to hate the bad guys in a lot of games.

Don't get a JRPG. They have a lot of text to read but the majority of the stories are terrible.

In an action RPG or in an RPG with an action based battle system, terrible stories won't ruin the enjoyment of the game itself.   Turn-based RPGs on the other hand, rely on epic stories and/or engaging characters to keep it self afloat in terms of raw quality.

 I'd rather the game leave it up to my own values and interpretations on who the bad guy is and not spoon feed it to me black and white. Like in MGS games where the villains are usually gray characters and so you can find yourself sympathising with either side.

@ DTG: My sentiments exactly... People aren't black and white (mentally speaking) and videogame characters shouldn't be either...

I agree with you, esecially if the characters are developed well
