I guess thats a difference of criteria. For me a bad game is not a buggy game (i can overlook those if the game is enjoyable), but a game that is dead boring. The gameplay certainly isnt solid though. You just need to use auto-attack through 95% of the game and you traverse corridor after corridor. The story itself is a fragmented mess that struggles to stay coherent. The characters are one-dimensional. Actually, lightning herself is completely void of any personality after 3 games and a spin-off. So, objectively its not a good game. The gameplay and entertainment value is terrible. Just cause you got shiny graphics and nice music, doesnt mean you have a good game. |
Saying it's boring is subjective. I was never bored with my 60+ hours of gameplay (ok, that's not true. Nautillus can go fuck itself).
And your description of the gameplay applies for virtually any jrpg. You just go around, and use the Attack command 95% of the game. So I say the gameplay (at least when it comes to the battle system) is actually solid, objectively. If it wasn't, there wouldn't be people who enjoy it, I think.
And the story... well, I enjoyed but I gotta say, I feel people give way too much credit to the importance of the plot in rpgs. If the story is bad, I really don't care, unless it's SO bad it offends me. But I digress.
