Final Fantasy XIII. I'm loving it so far.

^This. How people hate this game for "linearity" and love FFX is something I may not understand in my lifetime.

Ironically FFXII was also hated for being MMO-style open when it launched. Talk about a crappy unpleaseable fanbase.

I personally disliked  XII because of the awful battle system. I  disliked FFX because it was linear, but it still  had a better story, battle system, characters and soundtrack than XIII.
