Sort of interesting with how the combat gradually opens up to more experimentation, but this game's downright baffling story and annoying party members (I'm talking about you, Hope and Vanille) deflate things somewhat. I also wish that there was some sort of interactive element in the setting (towns or shops or something similar); otherwise, the world just feels too empty. Anyways, so far for Final Fantasies 12 and 13, I do find them somewhat entertaining if also somewhat tiring. Hopefully, this trend does not continue in my marathon
