honestly, the execution of the story is done really well- especially considering they basically had to switch gears when yoshi took over and figure out how to make it transition seamlessly into the 2.0 relaunch. while you could say it feels a bit rushed compared to stuff like CoP and WotG... it *was* rushed. really rushed. with a barebones crew, no less. and they still did a pretty fantastic job in spite of that.

hats off to yoshi and the devs. i'm really looking forward to where they take the story in 2.0 and beyond.
