Which retro JRPG has your favorite plot? Not necessarily characters (though obviously a factor) and certainly not gameplay/music/etc., but just the game whose story piques your interest the most

>inb4 not retro

FFX has a story that really captures me.

I love the prophecy, the pilgrimage, and all the twists and turns that take place along the way.

The ancient Machina, Sin, the Fayth, and all the summoners that didn't make it on their journey.

Mix in the factions intermingling affairs, from the Bevelle monks working with the Al-Bhed in their machina operations.

desu I don't care about plots in JRPGs unless they shove it into my face. I guess it's between Chrono Trigger (not presumptuous, not on your face, it's not necessarily dumb, it's lighthearted) or the Mother series (humorous) (>in b4 mother 3) (it's still humorous compared to 99.9% of jrpgs)

And the constant revelations that the Yevonites are the biggest bullshitters in JRPG history. I would've loved to see scenes where the followers outright began rioting and torching the temples for centuries of bald-faced lies.
