Am I the only one who liked some of the linear chapters in FF13 more than Chapter 11?

Namely Chapter 7, 6 & 3.

Hell if the whole game was as epic as Chapter 7 was this would be my best game of all time....but then you have chapter 1, 2 & 10 which ruin some of it LOL!

Apart from the battle system, the linearity of the game was by far my favorite part of it.  A story such as the one told in FF13 just would not work if they did not force you along the path.  I do like how they gave you the option tho (in chapter 11) to go exploring if you wanted too.  I sure as hell didnt tho :)  Story was to good.

It is like a good novel.  Sometimes you just want to experience someone elses story, not be in it yourself.  Having choices is great and all, but it is definitely refreshing once in awhile to not have to make any (I do enough of this on a day to day basis)

what darth vader? :P REVENGE!

I thought pulse was like your favorite place in an RPG ever?

I don't really think about it. I thought it was about as linear as FF8, except there were towns just no shops, I liked chapter 1, because lightening gets to blow up things. so do not insult that!

Really, I thought the whole game was linear... even chapter 11, there was just less jibber jappering and that was mucho depressing. you could just screw around if you want to, I guess thats what makes it non linear.

but my view doesn't really make sense I think

you have to tell me the secrets of the end darth.

 

I LOVE PULSE....absolutely LOVE IT.

But Chapter 7 is my favorite part in a GAME EVER....it just screamed classic to me!

Sorry for m Chapter's 1 & 2 were as disappointing as The Phantom Menace..lol

Maybe its cus I watched the demo from the FF7:AC blu-ray disc on youtube a year ago....so I knew what was gonna happen in Chapter 1. But Chapter 2 was still boring lol.

I was actually afraid to carry on the game at that point I was that disappointed....but Chapter 3 turned it around...I loved the crystal lake, the atmosphere, music, and lightnings loathing for everyone else was hilarious & nice to watch! And the rest is history....the game just got better and better.

Chapter 4 was awesome too....5 got tedioous in parts. Chapter 6 I loved the forest & the music & the weather sphere thingy's! But yeah chapter 7 really went the extra mile for me in terms of music, cut scenes, character development, bosses. 8 was good, 9 was amazing. 10 again I didn't like dunno why. Then chapter 11 was above expectations...and became epic after I got chocobo's & hear oerba's music theme.

arghh you'll see the rest in my review that'll be up by the end of this week!

And I did decide to explore a bit in Chapter 11.

I wished they could let us play through the first XIII days though....liked you could play the scene where you got to find serah on the beach....I really liked that bit of the game!

I tend to never explore/play minigames in FF's cus the stories are so engrossing & like you I just prefer to get on with the game to find out what happens next.

I bought the japanese advent children... for the demo :P And I already had the the American Advent Children, bah, D: And I thought the phantom menace was the second best star wars movie :(, we have the same taste yet so different.

I agree, chapter 2 was the worst, I think... But, not the review. i heard, you had wear square usa screwed up the translatoin in the end. Maybe I imagined it.

I tend to never explore/play minigames in FF's cus the stories are so engrossing & like you I just prefer to get on with the game to find out what happens next.

I was hoping to atleast get to watch more about the first XIII days.  Put all the different videos together (with some things added of course) and play them all from start to finish.  I did enjoy how they jumped around while explaining them tho. 

I love Minigames.  I think I played more Blizball in FFX than the actual game.  Loved it.  Funny that the lack of any minigame did not bother me at all.  Going through the story I never once just sat and said," I need something else to do"  Was that good.  Still not above Demon's Souls as my favorite game this gen, but its damn close.

Minigames are better in Suikoden anyway :)

Oh I hate most FF minigames lol. Even Blitzball which I just couldn't get into no matter how I hard I tried. 

The FF minigames I liked were Triple Triad and ermmm thats about it!

But hey Yakuza 3 minigames rule! lol

I enjoyed Blitzball at the start, I did not enjoy having to play it again 10000 times to get his ultimate weapon, nor did I enjoy the chocobo With under 0 time for tidus

the lightnig bolt was fun, and obviously you don't have to get the ultimate weapons, nor play it to the point of torture but tis my favorite game so I had to :P

no, it got too easy thats why I didn't like it. Cause I just did homework and kept passing it to tidus or brother.
