On top of that, how you actually play through the story is even more boring and bland than the first. The story is confusing, vague, and uninteresting. I know that no one is really playing this game to undergo a life changing story, but this game doesn't even surpass the low bar that it had to atleast get to. If you've played the first, you know how horrible the story is, but this one expands it by giving the player a prequel, adding Vaan, Lightning, Tifa, Kain Highwind, Yuna, and Laguna into the mix. Although, they do in fact become very complex and a lot of the most fun features of the combat are buried upon layers of tactics, and the game never gives you enough guidance to even begin to understand them. It has simplistic yet complex fighting mechanics which will amaze the rpg fan. Wow!! The sequel to Final Fantasy's Super Smash Bros. The Bad: Horrible tutorials, lackluster story, boring campaign. The Goods: The game has fun fighting mechanics, fan service to the extreme, gorgeous graphics especially cutscenes, thousands upon thousands of hours for sidequests, a good roster, and good online.
