As far as saying FF 12 and 13 have about the same plot, I completely stand by it. Both games distill down to "Big bads manipulate protagonists to grind levels and then do what the big bads want them to do in the end, anyway, making all of their decisions pretty much pointless." Contrast that to 10 where Yuna took that "Ultimate Summons" vicious cycle of Sin schtick and shoved it right up Yunalesca and Yu-Yevon's You-know-whats. As far as 15, well as it was Versus 13 originally I'm expecting it to actually HAVE a plot.
