One of the most curious side stories in the Final Fantasy series, and additionally the most convoluted story I've experienced yet in the series. The game has a lot of unique and interesting ideas, and the execution is all over the place. Not much is explained, and it's my understanding that a lot of plot is left out of the game for subsequent playthroughs. I don't feel as though this lends itself well to this particular game, as a game like Nier is more streamlined & replayable than this mission-based game. However, this one playthrough was still enjoyable, as the core gameplay offers up enough excitement and entertainment to carry the game.
