Final Fantasy XIII Story

The last few FF games have had crazy stories. FF VII was so convoluted I couldn't understand it after 3 playthroughs. I recently finished Tales of Vesperia and still am lost on a few key points. How is FF XIII's story relative to these games? Is it easy to follow or impossible to understand? Thanks.

Its a melodrama, with a lot of useless and annoying characters characters, its better if you skip all the cutscenes. And dont bother

reading the datalog, a lot of useless stuff in there too. The story could have been better if it had a better script and dialogue, overall

the story was a 4/10.

While I haven't gotten "far" into the game, I'm finding it confusing. They really don't explain terminology well and the characters don't add anything special to it, if not making it a chore to follow.

I just finished the game 2 days ago, and I thought the story was pretty easy to follow. It got a little confusing toward the end with all the l'cie, fal'cie, c'ieth, bla bla bla, but overall it madesense, there was nothing so crazy as the existentialism of FF7. If anything I'd have to agree with the others who said it was kind of boring. It had cool moments, but overall it reminded me a lot of FFX with this quest to end a cycle that was supposedly unstoppable.

The story of FFXIII is simple: the fal'Cie create the l'Cie, which turn into Cie'th unless they hit the final boss with swords until it stops moving See how simple it is?Black_Knight_00

Very succinct, lol.

The true test will be seeing if you can reach the Boss at the end and thrash him with your pointy sticks, before you nod into a coma.

The problem with the FFXIII story isn't the complexity its the sheer boredom that's the problem. I didn't give a damn what was happening in it.
