Final Fantasy X has a great story too. Tidus' journey in the world of Spira, dealing with the religion and the constant threat of Sin. The relationship between Tidus and Yuna is beautifully developed, and the overall theme of sacrifice and hope makes it one of the best in the series.
In my opinion, 'Final Fantasy VI' has one of the best stories. It has a large and diverse cast of characters, each with their own complex backstories and motives. The story deals with themes like power, sacrifice, and the fight against an evil empire. 'Final Fantasy VII' is also high up. Its story of environmentalism and the battle against the megacorporation Shinra is iconic. Then 'Final Fantasy X' with its unique world and the journey of Tidus to save Spira is quite engaging.
The story of 'Final Fantasy VIII' is quite remarkable. The relationship between Squall and Rinoa, along with the whole concept of SeeD and the war against the sorceress is really cool. 'Final Fantasy XV' has a story that, while had some flaws, still had a great concept of brotherhood and a journey to save a kingdom. And 'Final Fantasy XIII' despite its divisive nature, had an interesting story about fate and the characters' struggle against it.

In my opinion, 'Final Fantasy XIII' has one of the weaker stories. It was overly complex and hard to follow at times. On the other end, 'Final Fantasy VI' has an amazing story. It has a great cast of characters and a very engaging plot about war, power, and sacrifice. 'Final Fantasy IX' also has a great story with its themes of identity and love.
I'm a fan of online novels and can't provide real-time updates on the novel rankings. However, according to the knowledge I have learned about online novels, the following are some recommendations for the completed versions of fantasy novels:
1. Battle Through the Heavens-Heavenly Silkworm Potato
2. Martial Universe-Heavenly Silkworm Potato
3. Douluo Continent-Tang Family's Third Young Master
4 "Covering the Sky"-Chen Dong
5 " Full Time Expert "-Butterfly Blue
[Lord Snow Eagle]-An outsider
7 " Battle Frenzy "-Heavenly Silkworm Potato
8 " Martial Refinement Peak "-Momo
9. Battle of the Mysterious Gate-Mysterious Gate from the East
10 " The Great Dominator "-Heavenly Silkworm Potato
These novels were all completed versions with rich plots and character creation. They could be chosen according to one's preferences.
One major factor is the complexity of the characters. In stories like Final Fantasy VI, each character has a deep backstory and growth throughout the game. Another factor is the world - building. For example, in Final Fantasy VII, Midgar is a vivid and detailed setting. The themes also play a role. In Final Fantasy X, the themes of love, sacrifice, and religious beliefs add depth to the story.
Among the older Final Fantasy games, 'Final Fantasy IV' has a strong story. It's a classic hero's journey with Cecil evolving from a dark knight to a paladin. The story is full of moral dilemmas and epic battles. 'Final Fantasy II' also has an interesting concept where the characters' stats grow based on their actions in the story. But it's not as polished as some of the later ones in terms of story. 'Final Fantasy I' has a simple yet effective story that sets the foundation for the series, with the Warriors of Light fighting the forces of darkness.
Well, it really depends on personal taste. But many would put Final Fantasy VII high up. Its story of Cloud and his fight against Sephiroth, along with the themes of environmentalism and identity, is very engaging. Then there's Final Fantasy X, with its deep exploration of religion and sacrifice through Tidus and Yuna's journey. Another great one is Final Fantasy IX, which has a more classic fantasy feel with Zidane and his friends.
