essentially, the story is the most critisized thing. GI said, the gameplay was one of his favorites in a JRPG. Even the 5/10 score, said the gameplay was good, and the Time mechanic should have been saved for Chrono 3. Just that he didn't like the story, writing etc.

The time travelling I figured wasn't going to work very well story wise, because even the ones that are considered done well by many (Radiant Historia, and Chrono Series, The Source Code) I find still bother me in certain ways. Because, it's a more complex plot device, and there's always plot holes related to this. And Toriyama, is not one I would consider to be able to handle it that well.

That said it looks like a blast, I like Serah, and Noel seemed better than snow and hope. And who knows, maybe I'll like more than just enjoy the story. . I'll find out on MY BIRTHDAY. :D.
