Fans are expecting a lot from the latest chapter in the Final Fantasy series, but early indications suggest they could be disappointed.

I've never really been a fan of JPRG's (or RPG's in general) - always seems like too much faffing about, and not enough action...

From what I have read, the game is too linear and the game makers couldn't be bothered to expand the towns. This has led to a huge fall in 2nd hand pricing in Japan. IE if you have FF XIII and you want to sell it to a 2nd hand store, they will offer you pittance for it. Looks like no-one wants it.

Yeah I read something similar on Eurogamer I think. You cant talk to the majority of NPC's etc and there's only 3 towns and 2 of them are linear like you mentioned. I'll probably still get it though as my recent purchase of FF7 off the PSN has fuelled my hunger for some FF lovin'.

Wait a month after it's release and Zavvi will no doubt chuck it in their Monday sale for around £17 :)
