"As far as Kitase is concerned, FFXIII isn't even really a role-playing game. "We didn't really intend to work within with the RPG template," he says. "We wanted to create a new game, even a new genre. The way we look at it, there's isn't a certain format that we have to keep to and build a game around. Rather, it goes the other way around. We create a game and, depending on what works or doesn't work within that game, it ends up reflecting different staple elements."

"Because players are presented with multiple different situations on the field, in a lot of senses FFXIII is more like an FPS than an RPG," says director Motomu Toriyama.

"Kitase and Toriyama are determined to give gamers a lush, cinematic experience, and to that end they've severely limited player freedom to minimize the possibility that you might encounter a blemish."

"The earlier part of the game is designed so that players get accustomed to both the storyline and the battle system,"

 "When you look at most Western RPGs, they just dump you in a big open world, and let you do whatever you like... [It] becomes very difficult to tell a compelling story when you're given that much freedom."

"The content that was cut were in various stages of development. We took a step back from having a lot of ideas upfront and then cutting them a little by little as the game was being completed. This is a normal process when developing a game, so this is not particular to Final Fantasy XIII. If we did cut the content it wasn’t fit for the final product, which is why it didn’t make it in. "

 

 

 

"The game, unlike previous titles in the series, includes no explorable town areas; Toriyama said in an interview that the team was unable to make them as graphically appealing as the rest of the game and chose to eliminate them."

"These areas were running in an unreleased build of Final Fantasy XIII, but were cut from the final version due to considerations about game balance and game volume."

 

Otherwise I mean more about the cut content not about the linear of developer choice... these removed content was part of the game... they removed in the late moment "due to considerations about game balance and game volume".... ohhhhh that's fit what I'm saying the removed content was because the DVD limitation.

Anyway thanks by the links... they help to make my point even better... I will use they in my future thread.

HOW?  Kitase and Toriyama stated they wanted Cocoon to be linear.  They didn't want player choice.  They say this over and over and over again.  Therefore, they took it out.  "Game Balance" has nothing to do with Disc space limitation.  They cut Serah out as the 7th playable character early on due to "Game Balance" and implementation issues.  They have 6 roles.  Each one of the characters is the best in one of the roles.  Adding in Serah meant they'd have to create a 7th role or find some other way to balance.  This is an example of cut out ideas because of "Game Balance". But I guess, in your world, it's because the 360 couldn't handle Serah's data, right?  As per Game Volume:  The game already takes most people 150 to 200 hours to Platinum and the main story is already 50 to 60 hours for most people.  And moreover: Final Fantasy VII PC, Final Fantasy VIII, and Final Fantasy IX were all 4 discs, so it's not like Square has a 3 disc limit rule or anything.  Furthermore, there is no evidence saying Square couldn't have thrown in an extra disc when Lost Odessey, published by Microsoft, already had 4 discs.

Your twisting and stretching the info out there to the limit to fit your little delusion of a game you never played.  There is no point in arguing further.
