Looks like Sakaguchi can't tell a good story anymore.

Still, the poor character design could've been tolerable with a well-written, expertly paced story. Sadly, Blue Dragon fails there, too. You spend the entire first act -- about 15 to 20 hours -- simply wandering the countryside, waiting for something to happen. Where are you going? Why are you going there? This is barely explained -- perhaps because there is no explanation...and not really any plot to speak of, either.

And Nene's complex villainous motivation? He's mean. No, seriously -- that's it. The game outright says so.
