Playing Kai makes me realize how overworked and unmotivated Falcom's staff, especially the writers must be. Every line of dialogue, especially the side quests and NPCs screams overworked and "I don't give a damn anymore." At first I thought it was because I was burned out, so I booted up my fan translated Zero Evo on my VIta, couldn't put it down, the writing felt so much more soulful, despit it being the shitty Flame edit TL. Hell, as bad as Kuro 2 was, but there was at least some soul in it. I feel bad for them. At this point I say put the Kiseki series on a long 5 or so year hiatus and let them work on something fresh and new. Even TX 2 would work. But yeah, put Kiseki on hiatus after Kai 2.
