| Panama said: Considering FF has a long history of mediocre story telling and laughable plot in general, I'm finding critics complaining about the story in FF13-2...ironic, if that's the correct term. Plot was never, ever FF selling point. If I cared about the story FF9 wouldn't be my favourite. FF12 had the only story I'd bring home to show off to mum and dad, all due to the excellent dialogue and a plot delving into political corruption. |
You sir, have an excellent taste indeed 
Although I would also put the story of FFIV in line with XII's story, though that's only personal preference, due to the character interactions and tribulatons shown during the game (overall plot is a bit weak and leaves some plot holes that were never fully explained, though since it takes a back-drop to the character's own stories, I can live with that).
Anyway, i'm getting FFXIII-2 next week, so I'll post my own opinion then. FFXIII wasn't my favourite, by far, but not the worst FF as well (by a longshot, for that we have FFII and FFIII), so if it is indeed an improvement, it' a welcomed one.
