the story is usually the most important aspect of an rpg to me...though if the gameplay is horrific it really doesnt matter...that is why lunar and xenogears are in my top 5...though my exception would be star ocean 2 (not a bad story, but that isnt what made it for me)
See, how is this even possible? Most RPGs have horrendous stories.
