I'm hugely disappointed with Final Fantasy 13; it sucks. The gameplay is practically on rails, all it seems to consist of is plodding down one unbranching corridor after another, then fighting some things, then more bloody corridors. The fighting system is unnecessarily complex and confusing and the progression system way too linear. There are few choices to be made, which is what makes an RPG interesting and exciting - you make the game your own through the decisions you make and the path you take. The rule of diminishing returns is looming large...it's going back to Games Exchange tomorrow.
