there's always gonna be that guy who says something "controversial" that makes zero sense, don't be that guy.
Final Fantasy XIII greatest achievement was to break from cliched shounen anime story themes. such themes plagued jrpgs and made them painfully repetitive
then again I think FF XIII is a perfect example of a story being a little better than the "mainstream", wider crowd can appreciete. we are used to jrpgs stories treating us like little children. XIII was the first game in years that treated me like an adult. the first game in years that was not ridiculously patronizing in how you (the hero) can magically rise above a difficult situation by shouting and screaming, it was a story that told the gamer that maybe your enemy is not always crystal clear and the real fight is to realize your goal
