Personally, I am both disappointed with and okay with the moon. As a FF4 nut, I was really hoping the moon would be a huge thing and that we'd be spending a ton of time there.. and I couldn't wait to hear Soken's take on the iconic moon theme. So I was a little disappointed that it wasn't that. But within the actual story they tell in EW, however, it feels like it was pretty much given the time and space it deserved, and the moon music is excellent. It was never going to be what I was hoping it would be, and that's okay. I am still hoping for some content that has Soken doing that moon theme though.

Also, when was it said that this was their time to shine? All I can remember is that this will conclude their saga, which it did.
Pretty much my take as well. While I do feel the story has it's issues, it really feels like a measurable number of complaints that people have about the story being bad really just revolve around the story not being what they wanted it to be (or decided it would/should be) as opposed to it actually being Bad.
