Even though I know what this thread is in relation to, I won't harp on the creation since it does warrant a separate thread. Personally, 2.0's story was pretty hit or miss. Some stuff was engaging while other things were either just weak or went on far longer than they should have. 3.0 started off weak imo but got a bit better as things went on and I was personally satisfied how everything has come to a point in 3.4. The thing about stories in any games (not just mmorpgs) is that everyone likes different things and the Final Fantasy franchise alone has expanded over various genres if you think about it. They've gone steam-punk, pure fantasy, midevil, etc and not everyone likes each equally. This game is definitely a mixture of every genre and with doing so, some elements will hit while some won't.

I always wanted to bring this thing up as a side note about cloud's bike. People are saying that cloud's bike wont work on a ground level since it wouldn't be realistic, but how realistic is it for your company chocobo to fly as fast as your Magitech Armor? Realism in a fantasy game, people's defenses really make sense sometimes /endsarcasm.
