There isn't. It's just another overrated franchise. There are a few story lines that spread through several games, but most games have their own story. I've only played FFI-FFVI and they each have their own story lines but other Final Fantasy games have some sequels.

The thing about the Final Fantasy series is that they tend to have better than average stories. They aren't anything amazing, but they aren't bad either. The battle system can be fun for some and terrible for others. My feelings on the battle system is mixed because although I hate the ATB system, I love how each character in the later game have some skill that makes them unique from another.

In short, the Final Fantasy series isn't the best thing you will ever see, but the games aren't bad either.
