Dragon Quest VIII
In the early days of gaming, it was rare—if not impossible—to find a game with a rich and cohesive storyline. Then, at the height of its popularity, the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) attempted to fill this gap. Games like The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Dragon Warrior (Better known as Dragon Quest) all came about. And while they were all successful games, none are what I would call narratively cohesive.
