If you guys say so. Might wanna look into creative writing classes or something, because any writer will tell you the presentation of that plot was lackluster. Sometimes it's not a matter of opinion, this is one of those cases. If you LIKED the story, then awesome, I'm happy for you, but there are no arguments that will suddenly make it well told.

And even if it is a matter of opinion, you're in the minority.

It's like Evolution: it just IS, it doesn't matter if you believe it is or not.

-1 Respect for you. Anyhow i'm no longer commenting about this with you due to your one way view.

It's not a view, my opinion has nothing to do with it.  It's objectively a poorly told story.  Whether it was a GOOD or WORTHWHILE story is subjective, but objectively it stumbled too many times and resorted to telling us what was happening instead of showing us.  too much of the plot required scouring through datalogs, whereas in other FF games you could get a feel for the world just by talking to random passerby or through the plot.  the narrative scope was so tiny that it failed as a storytelling device. 

Plus it was contrived as hell.  

The methods were flawed and only occasionally effective, not to mention chock full of inconsistencies. Whether you want to admit it or not, that's bad storytelling.
