It's like FFX, except it has more choices. You can decide whether you want to further develop your skills in medic, commando, etc role. In FFX, all you did was follow a linear path in the sphere grid. It isn't until near the end of the game where you could set up your characters, but it's too late by then. There are harder enemies where you have change up your paradigms. I liked the HP refill; it saves me time from doing it myself.

I also like the no towns. Screw all the townspeople that play no role in the story and will never be seen again. I don't care about your daughter getting married or your husband's job. FFXIII eliminated the filler.

You could jump grids and get specific spells from another one far before the end of the game, and you could customize your weapon and armor customizing them that way, FFXIII you just choose which linear grid to follow, and ultimately if you don't pick certain ones for certain characters it's just a waste and FFX had some exploration,FFXIII you are basically running down glorified hallways the whole time and alot of people critisied FFX for the direction it went, and FFXIII is far worse then FFX

That is if you have specific spheres, which are hard to find. You could get by playing blitzball, but sadly, it's one of the worst mini-games ever created. Turn based sports game is a horrible idea, and the controls are awful if you try to manually move the character.

Didn't know about the customization in FFX, but I got around just fine not customizing my armor or weapons. I know if FFXIII you get certain support statuses with different weapons and armor including creating a physical wall defense. I agree about the exploration; it's one of the things that bothered me in XIII. It could have used more open settings. X's exploration wasn't that good, imo, but at least it had some exploration.

I agree with all the criticism FFX got. It's one of the low points of the series.

Bitzball was great, the only screw up they did was not making the prizes good enough, some of the items you get as a prize take 99 to put in an itme and you only get 1... and if you set the movement to manual put it on the map not the camera and finding all the spheres is hard but you run into more then a few of them fairly early, frienship and return spheres are both common, so you can jump to another one get some skills/spells and jump back fairly easy
