39/40 is an exelent score, but their rate system its weird nintendogs 40/40???, i think they give those scores based on the genre by example an fps 40/40 cant compare with a rpg 40/40, not that any genre is better than other just doesnt compare.
now they are praising the story, story eventes and gameplay and thats the most important thing, the 9 is for minor details. and almost every final fantasy has been very linear till some point , one of my favorites
6 was superlinear until the mid then the sidequest that added to the story represented half of the game.
So, its sounds like i hoped
so if this
