FFXIII has a bad story with some redeeming elements. There's cute character interaction here and there and a couple dynamics I enjoyed, like Lightning taking care of Hope, but most of the character actions and dialog is stilted and inhuman, and while I understand that the game is deliberately going for a very flawed cast of characters, I think it overdoes that to the point where the cast is almost constantly acting in ways that are irrational to the point of being unbelievable - not to mention unlikable. I'd say the worst offenders in this regard ironically are also Lightning and Hope, with Lightning violently attacking half of the other characters in the first few hours and threatening to kill her sister and Hope's whole beef with Snow being so irrational that it's hard to feel anything except annoyance toward him even cutting him some slack considering he's 14. I think some people are overly harsh toward the plot elements like l'cie and fal'cie since they aren't too hard to understand, but that's mainly because they're explained in a very forced expository manner.
