Story? Feels like for the first time that much if it told through the gameplay in the likes of Metroid where your [exploration across the world is a huge chunk of that story and is thus felt instead of told.
Sorry, I thought that was you mentioning the size of the world, assuming 'exploration' doesn't mean you just ran around Rabanastre for 70 hours.
What did you like about the story, though? What points really stuck out to you as memorable?
