I can't quite put my finger on it, but somehow the "minimalistic" nature of the storyline in FF5 just gets on my nerves. The characters come across as mere functionaries in the over arching plot, and the villain doesn't come across as having a clear-cut, ballsy motivation to do anything...well, villainous. I realize there are examples and such, but...

FF5's story just doesn't 'do it' for me, and I'm having trouble figuring out why.
