As for direction..I feel the franchise has become linear with less freedom. Basically just walking down a hallway with forgettable characters...past 3 ff have all had no world map really....x you have to travel to by points. This is the first FF game to open the world up to explore that amazing scenery in the background.

I did feel the action was too....compacted and busy. Reminds me of Kingdom hearts...but...i think we just need to get used to it...something tells me we'll see a more refined version of it in coming games.

FF12 had what was pretty close to a world map, I think. It was made up of fairly open non-linear maps with a lot of interconnected points.  It certainly wasn't in any way a "hallway" game.
