Luckily not all the reviews were like that, but I like how they say the story drags on... when it really doesn't in the slightest, unless you can't handle a couple minutes of exposition (WHICH YOU CAN SKIP EVEN ON YOUR FIRST RUN, If they're that annoying). That's one of FE's biggest draws, that the story is fleshed-out and well-structured.
Also, I hesitate to watch the Gametrailers review, but how bad is it?
