*note: Z.H.P. was taken out of this category. It should have been in the Strategy category, which is already over. It was nominated before the category existed so it's quite the predicament.*

The story is very...interesting. Especially when you play the PS3 version (Cause it has some parts that make no sense on the 360 version)
Really? Damn, I only have a 360 and I've been thinking of getting this at some point. :|
It's still fully explainable for the most part. The ending itself will most likely leave some question marks on your head though, but the more obvious plot is finished clearly to some extent.

Hum. Having only opened The 4 Heroes of Light, I can't really vote for it xD

I did almost complete FF XIII, I'm missing 1 piece of armor or something...
Never did play DD...

Again, played Eternal Sonata for a bit, then traded it in XD
I'll vote XIII. It was good. Despite all of the gripes, it was, in my opinion, functional. The story was well written. Sure it took me a long time to get into it, but there are 3 different types of things that games tend to do with me.
1, Frustrate me to a point where I abandon the game, either to trade it in or let it sit.
2, Start it, get genuinely immersed, and then, idk, a screenshot of Mass Effect 3 went by or something and I dropped it.
3, Start and finish the game, and possibly play through it more than twice.
XIII is between 2 and 3 XD

Now we have a three way tie between Strange Journey, Eternal Sonata and Final Fantasy XIII! I'd have to say this is the closest poll we've had yet.

Lol. Well it looks like FFXIII wins! I don't think we've had 11 votes on a single awards poll yet so this is probably all we are gonna get.

Awesome debate though! I'm looking forward to playing Eternal Sonata even more now, and even thinking of trying Strange Journey since it got so much love.

Here's a topic where I actually HAVE played most of the titles that are running. I'm voting Final Fantasy XIII because OMG the combat is heavenly. In fact, I like fighting in that game so much that I don't care about any of the flaws. Plot implemented poorly? That's okay. Game's really linear? No more than FFX. Has a slow beginning? I forgot about it already, because I'm about to...PARADIGM SHIFT!!!

An honorable mention should go to Eternal Sonata, though, as it's an excellent RPG that often gets overlooked.
