The online FF's don't lay out the whole story at once. When we are done with vanilla, the first chapter of the epic is done. Expansions flesh out and introduce new villains.

The lore and premise allows for a great story to be made, but the game has to get better first of all.
Its true, take the Shadow Lord for instance, first the main villain 1, than not a villain, but a tool for villain 2, in an apocalytic plot whose prevention of villain 3 awaking only cause villain 2 to act again, then comes villain 4, who is trying to evade capture from villain 5 to prevent another apocalypse, only for villain 5 to be possessed by a megadeus and fail to carry it out because villain 4 didn't attack him, you did. And finally, go back in time for shenanagains and fight villain 1, but at the end of the storyline fight villain 7.
