Looks like a solid game, not an incredible game as the hype suggested but an enjoyable game.

Hype never really suggests anything. It's all in the mind.

That said, considering the fact that Famitsu readers still voted it best game of all time recently, I think its safe to say its a very good game albeit not for everybody

Well, looks like japanese players have some complaints about the game:

This is a map for the first six hours:

But yeah, I agree that hype never suggests anything, I take back what I said.

I would not take what Sankakucomplex says seriously since most that come from them, except their porn, when it comes to gaming is only meant to be negative. And honestly a straight path is no different from a snake, zigzag or circle form path in disguise. In the end in a lot of game you find yourself going from point A to B. The only difference with this game is that it was promoted for a long time and it has Final Fantasy in the title.

Yes, but you will have more places to explore (more places to find items, talk with NPCs, make side quests like when people ask you to deliver an item and you have to explore the local until you find the right place, etc). If you have a straight path you will be guided from the point A to B and that's not what you can call exploration. However, my problem with FFXIII isn't the linearity (as I said before).

But now that you explained more about Sankakucomplex, I will just forget about that link.
