It's also a Final Fantasy game. It's just the nature of the beast. My friend who has been playing recently described his experience "It feels like I'm playing a regular Final Fantasy game where sometimes other players show up". Which is great for him and me since we both love the series and everything it is. If you're not a fan of cut-scenes and tons of talking just about any entry is this series is going to be painful experience. The whole big, long involved story thing is what Final Fantasy has been doing since the '80s and I don't think they're stop with that just because they took it online.
