While the game is not the greatest, it's not terrible imo. The gameplay was awesome. The story though... man. If there is anyone that just wants to know my problems with what happens in the story and doesn't wanna play the game, click this (obvious spoilers)
I wanted to believe half of the bad points were due to japanese translations being bad, but it's just that the story is crap. The team who wrote the story and dialogue for LR need to be fired. I hope to god they aren't working on FFXV

They reveal Lumina (the girl that looks like a young serah) is basically a *piece* of lightning that broke off from her at the end of 13-2, representing everything that could possibly hold her back from being the strongest she could be, or a part of her that needed help and didn't want to ask for it, something like that. I actually scoffed out loud at the reveal. At the end, Lumina floats back into lightning and she gets a slightly more kiddy appearance. garbage.
Hope is revealed to be an agent of god who was lying to lightning the whole time (and has been a puppet for centuries, probably during 13-2). god basically beats the shit out of hope's body before the final fight, and hope should have been dead, but he somehow lives in the end.
They write Caius out like a bitch too. It's revealed Yeul's constant rebirth is the source of the world ending or something, and Caius sacrifices himself to save the final iteration of yeul by telling noel to take care of her before he seals himself in the abyss with all the dead people, preventing the world from ending or something. WHICH MAKES NO SENSE BECAUSE THERE WAS AN ENTIRE GAME DEDICATED TO SHOWING THAT CAIUS WAS EVIL AS
AND WANTED TO RUIN THE WORLD, WHY HAVE REDEMPTION FOR HIM.
Sazh's son is saved in 13-1 and somehow he ends up back in a coma in 13-3, and has been in that coma for 500 years, only finally able to break free because sazh finally "smiles" (dajh didn't want to wake up beforehand because sazh was sad) - this is not made up
NOT TO MENTION THAT LIGHTNING
ING KILLS GOD, AND GOD IS JUST SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN EARTH ITSELF. what
The plot itself was convoluted as
, there was no good payoff for the life/death scenario, and it literally is explained in the end with "lol magic"
