The story is so cheesy, but the battle system's really fun. You have way more control on what you do compared to the first two games. And all dem outfits.. BD
And FFXIV is an mmo, it's hard to put into words. One of those things you have to try for yourself
There's a Lightning event going on right now, where you can get her or Snow's outfit, and everyone's weapons from the first game. Pretty awesome ;D
