It was how linear FF XIII was that really turned me off from it. At least some people enjoyed the game and it wasn't a total waste. |
agree on the linear part, as most of the negative feedback of the game that it is too linear. i think it is due to the story on FF XIII and which it only have the open-world in chapter 10 i believe when they reach that level with too many monsters to grind and quests. they tried to fix it by having FF XIII-2, then other fans doesn't like it. then they (SE) pushed to have a different combat system on LR but other fans doesn't like it either especially the time thing.
so each fan has its on pros and cons feeling on each FF series. some became hits and prefer other version. like FF VII - some would say it is their best FF game but some would say VIII. Others would even debate that VII isn't great compared to VI. so on and so forth.
now we are comparing FF against other RPGs. Tales, Xeno, DQ, and other great franchise, i'm sure it boils down to being subjective and each gamers own favorite.
i guess the general consensus would be, can we know which RPG goes the best rating. or even RPG of the year and compare those to other years. there could be years that there would be several RPG gems and there would be years that only a few or only above average is the RPG GOTY.
