Story or gameplay?

Well, i have always believed in story rather then gameplay.
The reason is simple. Most people play a game is because they want to uncover all the parts of the story. Thats one of the main motivation that keeps people playing that game.

Of course having a good gameplay is vital as well. You can just have a good story but in a text format. That will discourage people from playing.

All in all, a good story still stands. Take the Final Fantasy series for example.
The reason why most people recommand FF7 as the BEST final fantasy is because of its story.
The gameplay throughout most of the FF series are the same. However, all of them have different stories.
FF10 definitely have better graphics then FF7, but more people feel more towards FF7 because of its story.

So, story is more important then gameplay to me
