EML:
Ever play Lord of the Rings: The Third Age? It was EA's blatant attempt to cash in on the popularity of LOTR and FF10 by ripping off FF10's systems and building an RPG with it.
It tells the story of this Gondorian shmoe whose mission is - get this - to catch up to the Fellowship. I think he needed to catch up to Boromir or Aragorn.
So, through the whole game, you interact with major characters of the saga, running your own quests parallel to the main storyline of the saga.
Lame premise, but wonderfully executed. I'll give EA this much, they reproduced the movie IP really well.--
