Yeah, FF is a linear RPG Series in general.
I doubt FFXIII is any different from other games in the series lol. People like myself just like to diss FF out of jealousy.

that's the thing.
uncharted 2 was linear, no sidequest, divided in chapters that u could repeat if you want, same for all FPS, TPS, Story part of figther
are linear.
but some people want it to be like WRPG, but then WRPG fail at story telling, the progression can be messed up, characters interactions are random, and simply there is not really a focus on them either.

WRPG do what rpg's set out to do.....at least they arent action/adventure games with a leveling system like JRPGs.
|
Words of a fool :P
|
JRPG's are action/adventure games there is absolutely no "role-playing" in them.....while all wrpg's are about is "role-playing".
JRPG's are only RPGs in name , nothing more.
|
It is true, but those that make Heavy Rain a WRPG? If we are going by name here, a lot of games that have no-level up systems would fall into the WRPG category. I know I prefer action/adventure games with a leveling system than shooting games, I mean WRPG games.

HR is as true of an rpg as you can get........its a choose your path adventure, you play a characters role and you somewhat choose how that character will progress in the story.
Not all wrpg use shooting as a means of fighting but even if they do at least you can replay the game differently and get a different experience.....unlike JRPG's where linearity is bliss.

I prefer JRPGs/"action/adventure with a leveling system" because I don't have to decide what to say every conversation, worry about my actions in the story, which is exactly as you say role-playing game. But what you miss to comprehend is that role-playing also means to play the act of a character. For example, role-playing as king author would always be the same, you can't decide to play a bad king author that eats people because that is not who he was. If you do, you are no longer king author but something else. In JRPGs we take on the roles of these created character and play as them.

By your definition of an rpg every single game with a character and a story is an rpg...........gears of war was one hell of an rpg wasnt it?
