About the story, as I haven't finished it I just have to say...

If you want something epic, you don't put a doll-like chocobo in the middle as the raid leader.


That's nice for a sidequest, for a joke, but if you want something a bit more serious...Nope.

Goblins were ridiculous on Alexander, and that's one of the reasons why storywise Alexander was such inferiour to Coil. Omega might end up being better than Alexander (Not that it's hard to do that...) but will not be as cool as Coil
