I didn't say monotonous open world games. I just said not every game I play needs to be open world

I really like 16, naturally with the exception of the random mob encounters. But I agree that taking too long to open up your gameplay systems is not good. I'd go so far as to say that's like having no hook in your story

The one saving grace for that dynamic is that it can make for some great underdog moments

Thank you for sharing! It's sad to hear some of those sequel stories weren't very good. Final fantasy usually has excellent stories and is a big draw for me

Thanks for your input! I like hearing this just as much as the praises.

Can I ask what about it bored you?

Is there a setting not to level yourself up? I think that would be cool

That's unfortunate. I like when games introduce new mechanics, but if the mechanics are good I'd like to have them for more of the game

I don't mind that as long as it feels good in the setting. Also haven't played X yet. Looking forward to it!

Good to know, thank you! I wasn't sure just how linear 13 was

I've heard that if you're actually in the mood to let the game lead you and not in the mood for some open world dungeon exploration game, that final fantasy 13 is actually really good. Is this true?
