What do you mean the story went nowhere? You basically take control of this Vaan dude who really really wants to go on an adventure. Then like twenty minutes later he embarks on an adventure. I guess you probably were expecting a story that took more than twenty minutes to resolve though. I can see where you might be disappointed in that.
In all seriousness, I think the main problem with what little story you were presented with was that you are never really given any reason to care about any of the characters. Either you like the archetypal character you were presented with, or you didn't. None of them really changed throughout the game. Vaan is a kid wanting to go on an adventure when you meet him. He is a kid on an adventure midway through the game, and he is a kid who has gone on an adventure at the end. Yeah, that's some real emotion shit there. Balthier is Mos Eisley Han Solo at the beginning. At the end he is still pretty much Mos Eisley Han Solo with a little added backstory.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
I didn't say I wouldn't go fishin' with the man.
All I'm sayin' is, if he comes near me, I'll put him in the wall.
