I have to say from what we saw in the trailers I wasn't expecting much in the way of storyline in this game. I expected there to be more game play than storyline this go round. And then reading the reviews such as IGN and gameinformer gave on the game only confirmed this even more as they said the game play was great but the story line was seriously lacking.
So when I bought the game I came into it prepared to play quite a bit and not see so many cut scenes. And now as I near the end of my first play through of the main story line I am thinking to myself, what the hell were they talking about!?
SOME SPOILERS FROM THIS POINT FORWARD
This game is full of story line and waiting on abated breath to find out what the hell is going on in the game!
I am beginning to wonder if the game reviewers and I were playing the same game!!!
Serah and Noel together create a very heartwarming story of searching for something more and trying to right the mistakes in the time line for opposite reasons, Serah to find her sister and Noel to not end up as the last human being on the planet in 700 A.F.
Lightning has a dedicated mission to protect the Goddess Etro while she slumbers in Valhalla.
Caius reminds me of a Sephiroth character, where at first he was a protector, he then comes to the conclusion that in order to save the one person he cares about from the fate of dying over and over again and being reborn, he will destroy the entire world just for her.
Hope has worked and worked and worked to protect Vanille and Fang in order to preserve life on Cocoon.
Snow travels through time keeping his promise to Serah by searching for Lightning.
Sazh and Dajh make an appearance at the end of the game flying one of Hopes PSICOM assault ships.
Even Mog has mystery and intrigue in the game!!!
The fight scenes first between Lightning and Caius and then later between Noel and Serah and Caius are EPIC!!
And when Lightning appears to tell you what actually happened after Cocoon, and you see her transform into her Warrior Goddess form...EPIC!!
I actually drew a scene familiar to this part of the game months before the game ever came out of Lightning standing in front of Etro sleeping and being "reformatted" with feathers and what not.
And this scene kinda took place, the difference being Lightning was only standing in front of Etro's crystal throne.
So sufficed to say I have no idea what they were thinking when they were writing lack of story line is so not true!
While many fans are disappointed in the only two playable characters and the monster collecting the game play is amazing as well! Although I haven't quite mastered the use of the monster system.
All in all so far its a great game!! I haven't seen the ending yet but what I do know I am hoping that we get a better one with DLC content cause I don't think I will be happy with the way it ends!
MORE TO COME LATER!!
