Oooooh boy, can't wait to post my full opinions on this game...and get flamed for them. I have quite an incendiary opinion of Final Fantasy XIII, in fact it has a place in my heart as the single worst game and biggest disappointment of my gaming life (and keep in mind I reviewed Duke Nukem Forever for this site...which I rightfully ripped into and was flamed to high hell for.)
The short version: I don't have a problem with linearity, and I LOVE that each new FF game is unique and different from it's predecessors, but there's a lot to be said about a game that takes everything that made the series great and tossing it out the window in lieu of a dumbed down but flashy battle system and insulting linearity.
I was kinda looking forward to XIII-2 until they 'assured us it was more of the same.". that said, a few tweaks and some refinement and the sequel may not suck, but in it's current state it's a failure on every level.
