I'll take that list of your 50 games with a better story, please!

...mainly, because I'm always intrested in adding new games with good stories to my list of games to play.

Other than that... I really enjoy the story of FFXIV - I wouldnt say its my favorite FF-story (probably partly of nostalgia for some of the other FFs and partly because its gotten so long that its gotten difficult to keep all aspects in mind, while some other, shorter games tell stories that are a lot more streamlined and "packed").

I would always recommend not falling for any hypes, if you can avoid it - you'll always end up disappointed and might judge things worse than they are just because they didnt live up to your expectations, which might have been to high in the first place.
