They give him the lowest level of Shounen Hero Intelligence and stick him in a group of incredibly whiny teenagers, a bitch of a sister-in-law, a black guy with a bird who shits in his hair all day who can end the universe if any speak its name, and explain nothing in the game outside of their fancy little "Datalogues" because EXPOSITION DETRACTS FROM MUH STORY TELLIN!
The director of FFXIII actually said that "Having a proper story is nearly impossible without a more linear world."

Every FF game before was linear.
Totally.
And thats why Hallways rule us all.
This is why People returned Lightning Returns en masse when they discovered it wasn't a dress-up simulator.
