Pretty much...

I mean don't get me wrong... There was a point a couple hours into the game where I got a bit excited and nostalgic about the Final Fantasy experience, I suppose around the time their journey really began to start...

But as time went on and nothing much happened, I began to lose interest, and with the loss of interest I started forgetting some of the minor characters' names and previous events (which caused some plot threads to fly over my head until I stumbled upon them again)... So the whole experience just kind of snowballed...

Vaan went from being an annoying little "I wanna be a sky-pirate!" punk to delivering his "Now I get the real meaning of life and human nature" speech in the period of like 10 minutes of gameplay time...
I don't think they even had a cutscene for it, I just remember hearing him spout it out during some random battle.

I literally can't remember a single gripping or otherwise interesting event having happened... I remember the areas I ran through (There was the snowy place, there was the deserty place, there were a couple grasslands) and my mind can recall images from some of the various cutscenes, but I can't piece together the events of the game to the pictures...

From what I can gather, the plot revolves around a princess meeting indigenous tribesfolk, plundering their nearby ancient ruins, and having people doubt her subconscious intentions and/or ability to do whatever...

Dynast-king, sun-cryst, etc...
