Title.
Games that have stories you just don't freaking *get*, and I mean you can follow the play by play action of what's happening on the scene during cut scenes and the like but you have no idea who is fighting who, why, when or where or WHATEVER.
A good example, if not the BEST example, is the Final Fantasy XIII series.
Fal-cie? La-cie? What-the-hell-is-this-sea? Seriously, I have no idea what is even going on. All I know is I kind of like the battle system.
The entire game gets shit-tons more engaging story wise if you think of it as taking place in Lightning's mind, like she needs to go on this 3 game quest to cultivate a personality.
Bonus shoutout to Blazblue. No effing idea whats going on. I'm pretty sure I could read full blown books about this game's lore and still not understand wtf is going on - at least during Continuum Shift.
Yours, my dear escapists?
Edit; Also, a nitpick of a moment in Child of Light hidden for spoiler reasons.

The crown is magic protects her from evil magics. I get that. Can't you just snatch it off my head and then kill me? How does this magic work? Does it only affect me when its on me? How about when its off? What happens when I get a game over then? I mean, does I have like 1hp and the crown is the one with all the hp?
