Stormit's definitely one of the best stories of the franchise; well written, with a big cast of likeable characters taking part in unforgettable events.
T.O.TI don't think it's fair to compare an MMO story to a story that's a one-off and done. MMO's tend to have a lot more flexibility with adding more story gradually over time, while one-off games (especially ones in past gens) didn't have the option in many cases.
SonOfEtroI'd agree that it's one of the best FF stories to date. It's also the best story in any MMO period.
BladeRunnerNow they need to make an equally great story in the next single player FF because I'll never get too far in FF14
