Wired FFXII review, not so good.

*Sigh*

This is FFXII all over again. When will people understand that each FF is different and doesn't have to do the exact same things?

The problem doesn't lie in the game, the problem lies in you, the gamer, that doesn't accept evolution and doesn't accept change. The game doesn't have to do your every bidding, you are the one that has to shape his feelings and his concept of gaming in a FF game, with each new instalment.

Also, I've seen mostly on this site, that the people complaining or not giving a damn anymore about FFXIII, are basing it solely on other's people reviews and thoughts about the game. Seriously, if I had listen to people bashing FFXII, I wouldn't even give it a chance, and FFXII is my second favourite FF game of all time.

There's a thing called "Forming your own opinion and thoughts", use that, it will be much better. You don't want to buy the game? Then try it out at some friends house before you get it, just don't make assumptions before even playing the game for yourselves.

Oh, and about FFXIII being linear, I guess you people haven't played any of the old FF games right? Even FFVI was extremely linear right until you get the first Airship, which was only 25 hours into the game XD But I guess people dismiss that :P
