WC: The major takeaway from the modern Story Wars is that there are examples even in the premium releases where the plot is a tangled mess, forcing players to keep notes, and in rare cases, resort to searching the internet for some explanation of what the hell just happened. What follows is a look through some of the more complex plots known to gaming.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
I find kingdom hearts really easy to understand and I know my ffellow kingdom hearts fans will agree, what makes it complicated is that it spans over diffrent consoles and so you need to heavily invest money wise to play through the whole story.
Gametrailers summarises the story very well. If you read it the stroy would be complicated but having played through the games I get it.
Its like metal gear solid, I haven't played them all so I am thourghly confused about the plot.
1. Metal Gear Solid is not so much complicated. They use a lot of in-universe technical terms during the plot and that can make things confusing, but once you get familiarized with them the story is actually pretty straight forward, TBH. Just dont't expect someone to be able to explain to a non-MGS player what its all about (as I said, too much in-universe terms for someone not familiarized to follow).
2. The Legend of Zelda, I always treated the games of the series as stand alones, TBH. But I'm not an avid Zelda player.
3. Final Fantasy VII isn't complicated at all. Very easy to follow. Final Fantasy Tactics is much more complicated, if you're looking for a complicated FF game.
4. Mass Effect is incredibly easy to follow. Not sure what this guy is going on about. The ending was confusing, but the Extended Cut tied everything up (even if not in a very satisfactory manner).
5. All other games, I have never played, but I'm sure there are more complicated games out there than most of the ones present in this list. Hell, Parasite Eve seemed pretty hard to follow when I firt played back then.
I found the story of Pong complicated.
Mass Effect? Are you kidding me? It's a perfectly straightforward plot. The alien robots are going to kill advanced civilization every 50k years. Stop them.
Well the final 10 minutes of ME3 makes the plot needlessly convoluted but really, in the grand scheme of things I don't think it's overly complex.
