Not that the gameplay wasn't good, it was awesome. but the story is really what drove me to continue. I have absolutely no emotional envolvement in the story and characters of XII.

Don't get me wrong I am highly enjoying the game (I'd hope so for being ~125hrs in) But what got me into FF in the first place were the stories, there was a sense of epicness (is that a word?) that is def not in XII.
On the contrary, the story has been my main motivation in this game. It's breaking my heart to ignore it while I wrap up all these end-game side-quests.

And yes, this is definitely the best installment of this generation by far. And in terms of the entire series, it's up there with FFVI and FFIX.
