For those complaining about ffxiii not being an open game.

I finally got to pulse a good 6-7 hours ago.

When you get to pulse. The game seriously makes up for all the liniearty (sp?) Like all in one fell swoop lol. Pulse is freaking massively open its nuts.

Furthermore the difficulty of the game takes another ramp up. Which is fun for me. Going against enemies that can seriously one shot you but doing everything you can to play all your cards right and hope you get a tad bit of luck to help you out.

One of the first rpgs ive ever found challenging. I love it. I would have to put it in 3rd right below star ocean and star ocean second story :P in difficulty.

I got the stratagy guide for it and cant wait to use it for my second play through. Lol I got collectors edition and diddnt feel like opening it. I think im going to have to if I want platinum which I do :P

and the worse battle system Final Fantasy has ever hadLegolas_Katarn

I really don't like the game at all, it being linear is the least of its problems, I actually like that. Mostly bad characters, horrible storytelling, and the worse battle system Final Fantasy has ever had are much bigger issues to complain about.Legolas_Katarn

i hate the battle system i miss 7 and 8s battle system and i miss a main chater like cloud and squall to

[QUOTE="Legolas_Katarn"] and the worse battle system Final Fantasy has ever had-Hoax-

The battles don't even need me. Choosing auto should have just kept it playing on auto. All I am doing during fights is tapping X with one hand while watching videos or writing on the computer (I'm doing it right now. I am fighting a boss, that can't possibly beat me, while typing this and watching/listening to a Nostalgic Critic video. The boss battle are lengthy and awful. Battles take a long time due to the ridiculous amount of health enemies have, usually enemies that have no chance of even killing you if you have one person healing. The summons aren't fun to use. In battles with a lot of enemies you can't see what is going on with all the enemies and numbers until you kill a few. The allied AI goes from horrible to ok, sometimes doing things that don't even make sense (like I'm playing Persona 3 again). In most Shin Megami Tensei games it makes sense for Game Over when the party leader dies, in this it makes no sense and is just annoying since allied Medics don't treat you like you are special and focus heals on you. Not being able to move manually leads to stupid situations where an enemy will be doing AoE attacks and your characters keep running right next to each other so all get hit.

FF 7,8, and 9 had the old boring, no strategy, slow combat of old school RPGs but I don't see how this is better. All they have done is made the slow animations fast and added many new problems.

That's cool, because I usually don't like open world games because they make me feel overwelmed, and I'm not sure what to do next

definitely a great game! but we all have our opinions.
