This is probably my biggest dissapointment of the year. I enjoyed the battle system very much and the art is stunning. But the story is just so... disjointed and inconsequential. To give you an idea:
*minor spoiler ahead*
The game would totally make sense if you cut everything that happens after your first fight with Barthandelus in the Palamecia and skip straight to the final fight. Half the game's story is just so insiginficant that you could safely ignore them with little deviation of the plot.
That is just sad.
Anyways, I'd probably recommend 8 as my favourite 'modern ff' despite XIII having the superior combat system, the story of 8 was simply a lot better.
