The Escapist Presents: The Escapist On: Storytelling

[Rafe]

I smell this turning into a JRPG hate thread. Just saying.


In my opinion, the best in-game storytelling goes to Lost Odyssey, for literally being story telling, but with beautiful, emotional music and graphics to go alongside the stories.

Exactly, that game got me into heavy reading.

I don't know if any of you guys know the game: but the end of Betrayal at Krondor made me cry as a kid. But maybe because it was written by such a great novelwriter as Raymond E. Feist. This was a really old game, and it hasn't happened to me since then.

While it didn't make me cry (I'm still waiting and looking forward to a story that's that good too), one of the most emotional moments in games history is definitely the death of Aerial in Final Fantasy 7.
