The reason so many people find FF12's story "boaring" is becasue they didn't understand everything that was being said. No matter how you want to spin it and give your reasons. FF12 has a highbrow script and most can't handle it so they never got connected.

FF13 went back to stereotypical characters that are easy to understand with the usual one-liners.

I think it's perfectly possible to find FF12's story the best in the series (which I do, by a huge margin) while not thinking less of people who don't agree. People have different value metrics for what they find engaging and interesting in a story; I don't assume that people "didn't understand" it unless they clearly demonstrate that in some way.

FF12's dialog is much more sophisticated than any other video game, but apart from a few words, I didn't have trouble understanding it.

As of now, FF12's story is not gripping. For the past like 6 hours it's been mostly trying to restore Ashe to the throne. It got more interesting with Vayne and Drace, but nothing to put it over the top.

I shouldn't pass judgment yet though as I'm only halfway through. After all, FF9's story didn't get good until past the halfway mark.
