There's definitely a pretty hard quality cutoff between the parts that were new and the parts that were adapted. Fukken Jesse running around with a big "I WILL DIE IN AN EMOTIONAL SCENE" sign hanging around her neck for twenty hours, and then the scene itself is screwed by the voice acting. Overall though I feel like modern (post-FF15) Final Fantasy has good enough gameplay to make up for its often lackluster storytelling, which is funny because I used to say the exact opposite thing about Final Fantasy 7 and earlier.
