'The apparently open structure disguises a simple closed network of locked doors and narrow environments, '
Wasn't aware JRPGs are supposed to be sandbox games. FF12 was exactly like that too yet it was revered back in 06. Hell Fable 1-3 is like that but I still consider them quite open world in design. Keep in mind open world=/=sandbox.
The only thing that caught my eye was the lack of challenge, if true that's disappointing. FF13 was the only FF where i've seen the game over screen. Quite an easy franchise.
