![]() In this case, I think anyone who enjoys Final Fantasy games, and the genre they represent, should give Final Fantasy XIII a fair shot. There are movies I consider to be among my favorites, but I don't necessarily seek to re-watch them. But just because a story/experience doesn't have the same effect on multiple playthroughs, that doesn't mean it's not worth experiencing. ![]() I dont like playing linear only games because once you complete it the first time the second time your going to play with the exact same characters fighting the exact same bosses in the exact same order that you did it the first time. Originally posted by Crazy Eight:to be fair when i said FF10 i should of been honest and said i played only a very short amount of FF10 but the amount i played had a bit of free roam in it (sort of). I actually really enjoyed this game, the combat system in particular, when it first released on PS3, despite the post-game being a grind-fest. TL DR Aside from the ponderously drawn-out "tutorial" chapters, Final Fantasy XIII differs very little from other entires in the series (which can be positive or negative depending on where you stand on the series in general). Sure, you can take your time in between plot points, but there is no branching narrative, and the optional content, while time-consuming, contributes nothing to your success in the main campaign (pretty much exactly like Final Fantasy games). Is Portal garbage because it's linear? Half-Life 2? Arkham Asylum? Bioshock? You could even make an argument for the linearity of certain games set in an "open" world being linear. Optional bosses, "ultimate" weapons and other collectibles, and the ability to backtrack may create the illusion of "free roam" gameplay, but these are all outdated time sinks.Īlso, to soapbox a little, why are linear games synonomous with "garbage"? Any game with a story to tell likely falls under that umbrella. The gripe, which you have undoubtedly heard of considering your tone, is that the story leading up to this point is almost comically on rails.Īgain, however, I fail to see how the bulk of this game differs from most post-VII entries, especially the more recent ones. Like every other Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy XIII does have a "free roam" portion, following the formula established in VII (and most closely resembling Final Fantasy X). Two things about this question confuse me, despite them not necessarily being at odds with each other: (1) the fact that you consider any Final Fantasy games to be "free roam", and (2) your antagonistic word choice in "garbage linear game".
