Yep, worst FF ever, period. Lets forget about the linearlity for awhile, since every FF si more or less linear with varying degree of freedom. FF is about story and characters.
Story: What the heck is all those words that the characters keep flinging to me, Lacie? Falcie? Purge? Sanctum? Psi-com? Nothing make any sense at all. And the ending? They all say they do not want to play to the hands of the gods by slaying them according to the god's plan (what a bunch of suicidal maniac the gods are), but end up slaying them anyway, and surprise surpise, end up the world was SAVE anyway by a miracle. Ughh
I can understand FFX 's Sin very easiiy, and love the concept of a terrible judmentday monster that come back every 10 years. Yuna suffering by knowing that she will die for only 10 years of peace, yet she shoulder on. What a beautiful story.
Characters:
Lightning: Im perfectly O.K. with a strong female heroin, Lighting just get ANGRY, ANGRIER AND ANGRIEST, like Kratos. I dont care about Kratos in God of War cause its just a hack and slash game, but I basically just hate Lightning. We can have strong but respectable heroine like Disney Mulan, Lighning? I want to push her off a cliff.
Snow: So perfectly sculpted body, with zero IQ inside his head. Who cares?
Vanielle: When she open her mouth, I worry for my glasswares.
So thats it, its not a FF at all, just some below average RPG with an O.K. fighting system put in a glossy character design.
