Wired FFXII review, not so good.

[Zones]

My save file says I’m 17 hours in and just starting Chapter 8 of (apparently) 13, and if I’m about halfway through, that means we’re looking at a 30- to 40-hour game, consistent with previous games in the series. The fact that the game is neatly divided into two-hour chapters should strike Final Fantasy fans as odd. It is. XIII isn’t a big, open, explorable world. It’s a series of discrete maps that you run through and forget about entirely, once you’re the hell out of there.

I don't know, but I don't think anyone should take a review like this seriously.
