Outside of perhaps Chocolina, and the two crappy songs by everyones favorite Nobuo. I don't understand the complaints. I understood the "nonsensical" story, and found it to be very enjoyable.

Being able to understand a story doesn't mean it isn't nonsensical. I can understand the story of FF13 and 13-2 but they are still badly written gibberish. Characters constantly acting without motivation, constant over exposition of some points etc etc.
I would say there are way more than 2 bad songs too. There are some good ones in there but others are absymal. They sound like less upbeat versions of the music from Sonic Adventure, full of lyrics that if they appeared in a childrens Tv show people would write in to complain about them being too simplistic and overly sweet.
The time travel in the game is just so poorly thought out too. At different times we have anyone can time travel if they have the right object to certain gates are meant for certain people. We also have multiple people traveling through the same timelines, possibly hunderds seeing as anyone can travel through it. I mean one guys job is even to give maps to time travelers. So things would be an utter mess.
Also there are no alternate realities, the game expressely states that there is only one. So when we change things but can then travel to two different versions of the same time we actually aren't going to splitting timelines, we are going back in time to before we went through time to that place but things that happened since we went through time have still happened..... good writing.
Changing the future changes the past.... Why? So changing the past changes the future but changing the future also changes the past while multiple people are going in and out of the same timeline.
Basically the time travel in the game suffers from an old problem. It gives you too much information to be fantasy but not enough information to be sci-fi.
Like I said any game that feels the need to play a video explaining the story EVERYTIME it loads is suffering from some pretty awful writing.
*SPOILERS*
The Snow and Serah things is still painfully badly written too. I'm beginning to wonder if anyone at Square has ever been in love. The woman you love more than your own life, constantly risking it for. The woman you haven't seen in years. She is going off through a time portal with no idea where to or what to fight, it's very likely she will die and you will never see her again, so your response..... ''You kids take care''..........REALLY?!

This, the icing on the cake is Caius motive, his and yeul's back story and the bizarre chocobo rock theme.
