The plot certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea (it's pretty stupid), on that we can agree, but I liked that fact that it didn't take itself too seriously. When you consider how goddamn pretentious the 13 trilogy was (although I really, really liked Lightning Returns), I wouldn't mind another FF with a lighter tone, tbh. The biggest reasons why I like those games are purely gameplay related. Slap the job system on anything and I'll automatically get some enjoyment out of it. I have slight OCD and games like that with good character customization just scratch that itch for me.
