The cutscenes were poorly written. The story was poorly told.

The fact that you have to read this

...to get what you need out of the story goes to show what a poor job SE did. I think that some of the enjoyment is lost with FFXIII if you don't read the datalog, but it shouldn't be that way. You shouldn't have to read walls of text to get the full context of the game.

In contrast, Chrono Trigger is excellent on ALL fronts, not just its battle system (which btw you are comparing games from two totally different eras). Story, characters, gameplay, music.... it has it all and that's why it is so highly praised.

I never had to read the datalog to understand the story, it only confirmed what I already knew.
