Being perfectly fair here, but I can see where he's coming from. If a game takes more than five hours to become enjoyable then there's a problem because no one should have to wade through 5+ hours of boredom so they can get to the good stuff. Honestly, the only things that have me still playing are that people say it gets better and the FF fan in me won't let me drop it without at least beating it. But if this game didn't have Final Fantasy on the box I probably would have put the disc in it's case and gave it back to the friend I borrowed it from by now.
It is fair enough, it actually takes 20-30 hours to get interesting which is ridiculous really. 5 is a bit weak IMO but after 20 it'd be well justified.

He also has a good point about having to read the journal thing to actually understand what's going on. Most of the exposition *is* integrated into the game later on, but far from all of it.

Of course, this is all taking a humorous review way too seriously...
