I remember Nomura saying in an interview he felt he needed to make the story more complex after the first game or else it wouldn't be able to compete very well against other JRPG franchises. To add on to that he also mentioned he didn't originally expect the franchise to be such a success that it would have warranted sequels, it was supposed to be a one-off thing, so he didn't really have any further plot planned past the first game at the time.
To me at least, that's a good enough excuse for all the plot stuff in this series people complain about lately.
