Big words.

Armageddon's Blade, Gauldoth Half-Dead, Elwin & Shaera, WC3: Reign of Chaos come to mind.

Bow down your heads Tolkien, Shakespeare, and Dostoyevsky, here come FF, Xenogears and Dragon ****ing Ball.

Stop the world, because I want to get off.

With the exception of Lost in TV, and The Prestige in Film and Literature, ^^ damn straight.

Well, we WERE talking about games here 😄

He said in "All mediums".

Dragon Ball... Good Christ... I'm still in a shock over that one. FF, Xenogears I could almost understand(but not really), but DB... I was 10 when I first saw it and it made me cringe... with my ass.

I will admit that Dragon Ball doesn't belong in that list, lol, however the people that you listed aren't exactly examples of especially great storytellers but of great writers. As stories, JRPGs are unrivalled.

I never thought that such a short sentence could possibly contain such vast amounts of horseshit.
