And an overall grimmer tone. Really going for that Western Geraldo audience, huh

Never would have guessed Square would end up doing a reverse Sudeki, but I guess that was a foregone conclusion based on sales numbers

    It was obviously unfinished, which is bad when your game has been in development for a decade. The most obvious example of this is the end of the game, which is completely linear and has one chapter that is just a turret section (in a Final Fantasy game ohnoes). The second most obvious example is when you go to the Venice-style city which has almost no content in it.

    The story was also practically nonexistent and sometimes clashed with the gameplay pretty bad: oh, Bad Country is invading now? Does it affect anything? Not really, you can still just roadtrip with your bros for all eternity, the only difference is that occasionally some soldiers will drop on you. Love Interest died? Are we supposed to care? It's pretty hard when she's barely a character to begin with.

      This is a shit answer because it shouldn't have been like this, but the backstory you're looking for is covered in the anime prequel and cgi movie (starring aaron paul and sean bean and lena headey)
