I've been a teacher for 11 years, but a gamer for even longer!

So I'm about 40 hours into FFXIII, towards the end of chapter 11, and I have to wonder, has Square ruined the series?  
 
The game is 100% linear, even though it supposedly "opens up" in chapter 11, I accidentally immediately followed the yellow arrow, and found myself trapped in yeat another corridor, leading me along a path exactly to where I was supposed to go next.  I find myself playing at this point just to finish, but I'm no longer enjoying myself, I just have a problem where I have to finish what I started.
 
I feel as if JRPG's have been declining for years, while WRPG's have continued to rise in quality.  This game just angers me on so many levels.
 
Thoughts?

Just picked up my copy...installing now!

Ugh, that is definitely carb overload!  No spaghetti sandwiches for me.

I have some best buy gift cards lying around, so I plan on picking it up Wednesday (sadly it's not available here launch day...).

I played it for about 200+ hours on the pc, spread over 3 characters, and then another 75+ on the 360 over 2 chars.

Run to the Hills...I hate that damn song.  Only one I can't beat on hard on drums.  I've been stuck on it for months now, with no progress.  Very frustrating.

I haven't earned any yet, so right now, no I don't.  I didn't even realize Pixel Junk Eden had trophies.  I've been playing it on and off for a week or so now.  Nice relaxing game, with a thumping soundtrack.
