Is it a good story-based game? I think this is the only thing FF16 is good at, sadly. So why is it a video game and not a movie?

I'm not really going to defend FF16 here (from what I've seen it's not a game I'm in a hurry to play), but this sentiment of "why is it not a movie?" pisses me off. Games are more that the sun of the parts, and I've enjoyed otherwise mediocre systems because of the relationship with the story and game experience as a whole.

The story game is not a movie because it is best experienced as a game.
