The storylines seem to be the offending factor here. The story is absolutely capital to an RPG, without it there would be no meaning for any gameplay. Seeing that the title of the game is Final Fantasy one would expect an epic tale where good battles evil set in a dreamlike fairytale world. This allows the designers to let their imaginations run wild and therefore leads them to introduce very technical far-fetched terms that only a handful of players are willing to pledge any sort of commitment to understand and a fair amount of others to dismiss the whole game as 'boring'. I come somewhere in between these two categories. I find it very hard to get to grips with some of these terms but it is not nearly enough to detract me from the game as a whole.
