"An empire whose emperor has gone missing. Admiral Cid Aulstyne now handles all matters of government, and desires to obtain the crystals from the other three nations. Cid also heads the Byakko Peristerium, an organization that conducts research into the energy from the Byakko crystal. This energy is used for military and domestic affairs."
Sounds like they're onto something good here.
It sounds fine, yeah. But -- and I know this is a broken record from me -- but I'm going to need either exceptional writing all-around and/or about as many story sequences as the PSX era in order to really dig the narrative. (Gameplay looks awesome either way.) As I keep saying, there's just a very dire case of not enough happening in their games these days. You're halfway through a title and the party is just starting to group together.
