im just wondering if they release it in pieces, that means exploration and things of that nature is going to take a hit and the game is going to become that much more linear

Even when we had the freedom to explore the world map there was a streamlined access to the places we could explore, limited to the car, Cid's airplane, etc.

It is all supposed to open up when you get the Highwind. I wonder how they will work all those things out, I mean, did they say there was an overworld?I can't remember.

I just dont get that if its indeed episodic in nature, i dont get how they'll let you backtrack and explore and everything of that nature

 

I feel to compensate for it being so massive in size that a lot of the towns,world map,exploration will be cut out of the game and it will be made in a more linear format such as you do the story and it then will take you to the area you need to go to,rather than being able to go there yourself
