By the way, if they kept it like old school Final Fantasy games they would have bitched about it not trying anything new.

I think they just hate it because it isn't open world.

...Or they could have taken the system from FFXII, improved the story, and made the best JRPG ever.

If it was anything like FFXII's system I would have avoided the game entirely, just as I did with WKC.
