The Good - Moon Phase and Unite attacks were neat ideas that work really well for the gameplay side of things, especially with the ramped difficulty. Many of the new characters are fun. I also enjoyed Kain and Ceodore's relationship and seeing Yang as a father or the twins as teenagers.

The Bad - The whole scenario wallows too much in nostalgia to be interesting.

The Ugly - Some of the dungeons are just not fun or creative enough, which is a shame coming from a sequel to a game that tried to be more novel with their dungeon design. I also kind of dislike the Creator and the story implications he brings to the FFIV mythos.
