Honestly, I don’t remember the story of XII very well. It’s been almost twenty years since I played it, and I’m only ~15 hours in, now. The best thing I can say about it is that it’s not the pandering nonsense of the XIII games. Which is a huge relief. Really though, the plots of FF have always been a bit nonsense, but at least adhered to some kind of internal logic. FFXIII and its sequels just didn’t even try to be coherent.
The combat in all of them is fantastic, though. Particularly Lightning Returns. Such a unique, challenging, and fun combat system in the most incomprehensibly insane story of any FF.
