No story mode. It's a pseudo for a Final Fantasy franchise. Too repetitive gameplay. Not enough weather effects, terrain effects. Not much to do. Chocobo breeding (uninteresting, can't even treat them like pets) is the only alternative mode other than training, standard, or ranked matches. They add seasonal events from time to time. Only enjoyed playing this for the first 20+ days. Game was developed in haste. Players become the game testers.
