Can't tell how it's written if you haven't read the whole thing. Not saying that it's really gonna change a whole bunch, but the starts of stories and games are generally chock full of exposition. Takes a bit for the story/characters to come out.
Like, I don't know how far Ina's been in 6, but the best moments with the characters are seeing their lives in the World of Ruin. That's where most of the emotion comes out.
Also KN, get good scrub. Steal 2 Genji Gloves from Dragons on the Floating Continent, and have everyone dual wield and deal 9999x2 at the very minimum by like level 40. Make Locke deal 9999x8 with Genji Glove + Offering relics on top of Atma Weapon and Valiant Knife. Best you can do with magic is Terra Economizer + Gem Box > Ultima + Quick > Ultima Ultima. 9999x3. Magic too weak!
But nah, I'm just rustlin' your jimmies a little. In truth, you want to get Magic Power or Vigor from Magicite on level up, depending on what skills are best for the character skills, and use them accordingly. Like Edgar for instance, you oould raise either, and have him deal 9999 to everything from the back row with Autocrossbow or you could do Magic and use Bioblaster/Flash thing. It's pretty easy to get OP as ***in 6, and it's even possible to beat the game without leveling, though tedious as hell/luck dependent.
