Yeah, FF is a linear RPG Series in general.

I doubt FFXIII is any different from other games in the series lol. People like myself just like to diss FF out of jealousy.

that's the thing.

uncharted 2 was linear, no sidequest, divided in chapters that u could repeat if you want, same for all FPS, TPS, Story part of figther

are linear.

 

but some people want it to be like WRPG, but then WRPG fail at story telling, the progression can be messed up, characters interactions are random, and simply there is not really a focus on them either.

 

WRPG do what rpg's set out to do.....at least they arent action/adventure games with a leveling system like JRPGs.

Words of a fool :P

JRPG's are action/adventure games there is absolutely no "role-playing" in them.....while all wrpg's are about is "role-playing".

JRPG's are only RPGs in name , nothing more.

It is true, but those that make Heavy Rain a WRPG? If we are going by name here, a lot of games that have no-level up systems would fall into the WRPG category. I know I prefer action/adventure games with a leveling system than shooting games, I mean WRPG games.
