Might be some spoilers ahead, but you wouldn't be missing much in less than an hours worth of game play.

I also felt very disoriented by the way it just sort of puts you straight into the action, in what feels like a dozen chapters through a story. I know I'll probably come to learn who and where everything is if I keep playing, but I felt it was too much too soon. I'm sitting here wondering what Nahalla is, and some kid starts falling from the sky. Then I'm on Odin, fighting something chasing Lightening and the kid. Then Lightening is apparently dead, Serah knows "the truth", and Snow isn't with his fiance (or wife?) to protect her during an attack on the village they live on. And I wasn't once blown away by it.

In fact, I was frustrated and bored with it before I'd even switched to Serah. Someone, please tell me it's worth continuing? Without spoilers, just in case.

I felt very similar. Keep playing, its worth it. The gameplay plays the biggest role in keeping people entertained. There are plenty of rewards for sidequests. The story will become less confusing as will the historia crux, you just need to invest more 'time' (lol) into the game for it to make more sense. its very unconventional in aspects that play to its advantage. As I said before, like you, at first I was confused and not impressed nor did I feel a connection to the characters, but the game became more enjoyable the more I played. If you dont like it after reaching chapter 3, then I think its safe to say you dont like it.
