I really love the Final Fantasy XIII series all of the 3 they have some great story I tried the XIV but it wasn't the same especially without the voices of the characters and the NPCs I love the voices in japanese and English subs :).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
