Choices.


 

Before leaving on my hour long drive to work FFXIII arrived. I almost felt like I was 'sick' and maybe I should call out ... but I didn't; I made the long drive, and now I'm sitting here at work wishing I had. All well.

 
 I had a thought.

 
The majority of complaints against FFXIII are focused on the linearity of the game, but would it still be a Final Fantasy game if they gave the player choices. I've personally only thought of FF games as more of an interactive story than anything else. The game just moves the player from plot point to plot point.  

This brings me to the point that linearity really isn't a bad thing.  How many entertainment mediums, besides games, do you have control over the story? Chose your own adventure books... maybe? Certainly not TV and movies.

 
While you may not have all the control you want, FFXIII will take you from point A to B in a stylistic way, but that isn't what FF games are all about?
