The whole linear thing I was expecting and as amazing as the graphics are, it still manages to feel extremely dull thanks to being stuck in a same looking location for over 3 hours at a time doing endless battles. The game is a real test of endurance, that is for sure. The characters are even more annoying and unlikeable than ever - it is very tough to form any kind of connection with them. Lightning is just a moody cow who is physically abusive to her own party!?
I was prepared for the linear thing as I absolutely adored FFX and many saw that as being very linear but FFXIII just takes the p*ss completely lol. At least FFX kept it mixed up with varied locations and interesting characters - all which are sadly lacking in FFXIII.
I hate the battle system too. I am old-fashioned I guess and love turn-based battle systems. It all just feels too frantic in FFXIII and I hate not being able to have any control over the party members during a battle. It is also stupid that if the party leader dies, it is game over despite the others being alive.
I can understand you and have think the same by the most review points,but i have play now 11hours and i like this Game i can not say this is a bad FF!
Amazing Matheja have write:But that it is way much cooler after...You're more free to do what you want...But having to wait after 20 hours of play...wow!...
Yes this is right,have little patience and Time for this game and the game will better,better and better...
The First 3 chapters is only linear Fighting and not very interessed but from the chapters 4(after 5-6hours) unfolds this Game more and more and later after 20-25 Hours give more free movement and beside missions ...I have play now 11 hours and can say only for me:I Like this Game,is not perfect but give this Game time and play some hours and the game will better and better...is for me not the best FF but sure one off the best FF though i see many review points all the same how you
