It is linear, but I don't understand how people praise X so much and hate on this.... its been extremely similiar in that aspect (minus the towns).

So far this is a good game, but not that great of an RPG. You don't even get to do any side missions until chapter 11 (13 total), and all of those are battle missions.Originally Posted by OrenthalJames

its an rpg, tho. the replies will come but the game just came out so you'll have to wait. the main story is around 35+ hours. some ppl say even more. there's no way the thread will grow a lot until ppl reach that mark.
RPG threads on NT are always slow moving. I was watching my roommate play this game, joint looksAnd he wasn't crying about how linear it is, like some people.

I know this is a FF thread but after fives hours of playtime in it I gotta say Mass Effect 2 > FF XIII
I'm not feeling the story at all plus vanille & hope are annoying as hell. The battle system is cool and whatnot but these characters are not moving me at all. I'm playing this on a 360(its free) and if it doesnt pick up by the end of the first disc, I think I'll be giving up on this game.

Mine is at home right now... haven't cracked it open yet. I have been playing FFXI for a bit as of recent. Mainly due to a lot of the new updates, and FFXIV releasing soon. That's just going to stomp any and everything straight out.

this game feels like ffx but on autopilot

I love the game. Well I agree it doesn't feel like a true FF, I have vastly enjoyed the direction they went. I still grind for CP, the linearity of the game is not an issue.
For those that played FFX, you couldnt choose where you went until you got the airship which was at least halfway through....
Battle system is excellent. My only gripe is how I die during regular battles more than I would against a boss.
And too the person that put Mass Effect > FFXIII, why?
one try with odin, no lie. wait until you get further into the game the bosses gets even tougher.Originally Posted by eteam o2
for those that obtained Odin...
was it as difficult for you as it was for me?
feels like it took me at least 30 tries... I was ready to Google it.
what was your strategy?
please use spoiler tags too

....oh, and I recommend you build Vanille's Saboteur crystalium because it has a lot of stuff that will be useful come later on. I also suggest saving your CP points to specialize in a specific path (whether its Ravager, Medic, etc), just give each person a role and have them all with high leveled spells rather than all around games.
I HATED the battle system to start, especially the first two hours of the game (which were tedious and boring IMO), but once you're past Shiva it becomes a much more tactical game with a lot of thinking ahead, even during the simplest of fights. I prefer battling with 2 characters during the game as opposed to 3, doesn't feel as congested and out of control.
