2a. Level Design.

Pretty much every room is as liner as they can get. Seriously just look at these level maps.

 

Should I just point something out? That's the first area, and considering where it takes place, it makes sense to look that way. Introductory levels in many games are often very straight-forward.

Yes but this doesn't change after the 1st area.  The whole game is basically the same kind of linear corridors.

Ka-Kawww!! Wait wahhh? This is Gran Pulse for those not in the know.

I did say "basically".

Chapter 11 has this open area, but I think it's fair to say most of the areas are corridors with little exploration, and few points with dead ends where you have to backtrack.

I know people who thought it was excellent, and some who thought it sucks.  Personally FF13 is OK as a game I can play, but as a FF it's dissapointing to say the least.
