This game became my best JRPG ever since FFTactics. I'm so in love with the game, I even enjoy my 2nd playthrough and surely will go with 5 I think.

It's funny seeing gamers being fooled around by this game, and that's one of the thing that pleased me the most with this game : how people are sure of things, and everything get shattered later on, and people discover how wrong they were. This game is just a masterpiece to me.

In this very thread, people were criticizing the scenario of the game without even having made 10 % of the game.
They were talking about the scenario being bad because Shulk's motivations for going after the Mechons are lame. They will eat all of those words before the end of the game, when they realize how wrong they were.
The worst is that the game is toying with the gamer, but at the same time gives him every single hint during the game. It's even more shocking when you realize that you were a fool despite the game telling you everything.
If you rush the game, you are sure to go past every single hint give, because you won't have time to understand the true meaning of what is being said. The same if you don't do all the sidequests. Some pretty important ones explains things that happen in the main story,
One word that best describe this game's scenario is "deception". From the very beginning of the game until the vey end, you are fooled by the scenario, and you can understand everything only at the very end of the game.
Which is what makes it so epic of a game.

What people describe as twists in the scenario are not even twists at all as everything is completely coherent.
It appears like twists because people believe some things (Dunban the great hero that arrives saving the day with his über sword) but it's smasehd to pieces soon after when he talks to Shulk, and that goes so far as revealing nearly the entire plot at the beginning of the game, and yet people fall for it and it goes far above their head.
Of course, everything can't be understood from the beginning of the game.
