Hynad said: You mean it would be exactly like the Midgar part from the original? Linear and going from A to B without many occasions to stray from the path. It’s after Midgar that things open up a bit, but even then, until you have access to vehicles and special chocobos, you’re not allowed to explore “ala open world” much. |
Yes, in a game where the first part of the story set in Midgar that is only 4 hours long, setting up the plot of the other 20-25 hours. Midgar section of the game is mostly meaningless based on the plot of the rest and they've turned it into a 30 hour game? There's going to be a lot of filler and you only get to have 4 playable characters.
FF13 is linear throughout and only 'open' bit is near the end where it's just going around fighting monsters.
Hmm, pie.
