leavers in ranked games

I would also put 'Pokemon Sun and Moon' high up. It had a very different and refreshing story. It focused on the Alola region's unique culture and the trials instead of the traditional gym battles. The story was more about the player's journey of discovery and friendship in this new region.

Well, for me, 'Final Fantasy IX' has a wonderful story. It takes us back to the roots of the series in some ways, with a more medieval - fantasy setting. The story of Zidane and his friends trying to save the world from an ancient evil is full of heart. Then there's 'Final Fantasy XIII'. While it got some mixed reviews, its story of Lightning and her fight against fate is quite interesting. And 'Final Fantasy IV' is a great one too. Cecil's journey from a dark knight to a paladin and his quest to save the world is a great narrative.

Some of the Assassin's Creed games that are often considered high in terms of story are Assassin's Creed II. Ezio's story arc is very engaging, starting from his family's tragedy and his journey to become a master assassin. It has a rich historical backdrop set in Renaissance Italy.

For 'Final Fantasy VI', the large ensemble cast is a huge highlight. Each character has their own arc that weaves into the overall story. The fall of the Magitek Empire and the rise of Kefka is a very dramatic part of the story. In 'Final Fantasy IV', Cecil's transformation is not only a gameplay mechanic but also a central part of the story. The different kingdoms and their politics add more layers to the narrative. 'Final Fantasy VIII' has the interesting concept of drawing magic from enemies, which is linked to the story. The relationship between Squall and Rinoa also has its own charm.

One way is to look at the character development. In Halo: Reach, for example, we see the growth and sacrifice of the Noble Team members. Another aspect is the world - building. Halo games like Combat Evolved introduced us to the vast and complex Halo universe. Also, the plot twists matter. Halo 2 had some unexpected turns with the Arbiter's story.

In my opinion, Halo: Reach has a great story. It's a prequel that really sets the stage for the Halo universe. The story of Noble Team and their sacrifice is quite moving. Halo 3 also has a strong story as it ties up many of the plotlines from the previous games. And Halo: Combat Evolved started it all with an engaging story that introduced us to the Flood and the Covenant.

I'd say 'Majora's Mask' is number one. It has a really deep and thought - provoking story. 'Ocarina of Time' is second. It set the standard for Zelda stories with its great characters and plot. Third would be 'Twilight Princess'. It has a darker and more complex story compared to some other Zelda games.

Well, 'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time' is often ranked highly. Its story of Link traveling through time to save Hyrule is both epic and engaging. Then there's 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild' with its open - world story that unfolds as you explore. You learn about the past of Hyrule and Link's role in it. 'The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask' also has a unique story with the time - loop mechanic and the strange, dark undertones.

In my opinion, 'Grand Theft Auto V' has one of the best stories. It weaves together the tales of three main characters - Michael, Franklin, and Trevor - in a complex and engaging way. There are heists, family drama, and a lot of action that keeps the story going. 'GTA: San Andreas' is also great. It has a more classic gang - related story that follows Carl Johnson as he returns to his hometown and gets involved in various criminal activities while dealing with corrupt cops and rival gangs. 'GTA IV' also has a strong story with Niko Bellic's journey in Liberty City.

Another notable one is 'Persona 3'. The story of facing death and the concept of the Dark Hour are really unique. The characters in this game grow and develop as they battle against the Shadows. It has a more somber tone compared to the others, but that's what makes its story stand out.
