The Failures of Final Fantasy XIII (part 1): 25 Hours of Linearity

May 12, 2010

A weird habit that I keep seeing from FF13 defenders is how when they respond to criticisms, they flip-flop about the earlier games. FF13 a drastic change? Every FF is a major overhaul, a fresh take on the franchise! FF13 too linear? Every FF is linear!

Am I wrong to ask FF to include player freedom in its overhauling?

To be sure, I know my FFs and I know that they are linear in the sense that, often, there is only one absolute way for progression. I can put up with this. But I can’t put up with FF13’s way of telling you how to progress - without offering anything else to do besides progressing. No exploration, no significant optional elements, and no backstories that can either be seen or missed. Don’t you find it odd that a consensus exists among reviewers that 25 hours, not 13 or 30 hours, is how long it takes for the game to open up? If it seems like it takes everyone the same amount of time to reach that point, it’s because it does, which should be telling about its restrictiveness. You can’t go anywhere but forward. Occasionally there will be fork, but the other path only has treasures. And yeah, you can grind until you reach a cap, but that won’t take too much time because it’s low. In the first 10 chapters (of 13) the game literally carts you forward on straight, narrow, boring, indoor corridors.

I repeat, the FF13 that took years and million dollars and is touted as the prettiest game ever, refuses to let you explore and take in the sights of the world for a good 2/3 of the game! Imagine that you’re on a train to Paris but are only allowed to experience the locales through the windows. That’s how FF13 feels like.

Let’s see how this works in real life. Welcome to Museum of Modern Arts, and you’re gonna love our offer: once you spend 3 days staring at cubisms, you will be granted 3-hour exclusive access to all the Dali, Riviera, Frida and Van Gogh!

Remember, guys. Three days of that before Starry Night!

Hence, why I can’t accept the 9s and 10s it got from various gaming sites. They tell you outright of its sluggish beginning, so why are they so quick to lavish praises on it regardless? If you submit a movie script or book with FF13’s pacing to publishers (and let’s not get into its atrocious writing just yet), don’t be surprised if you don’t hear back from them. Doesn’t matter how good your story gets in the end; if the first few pages, or even the first few paragraphs, don’t engage your agents, they’re going to toss your stuff straight to the shredder and not print them out for the public. Why is FF13 being held to a different standard by the mainstream gaming media? Even if it’s widely acknowledged that it takes 25 hours for the game to get good, why does it get free passes?

The counterpoint I hear that makes sense to a degree is the notion of the linearity as a way to teach its mechanics to newcomers of RPG (not that this has stopped anyone from being very critical of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, which was made for the same purpose). I can accept that FF13 should be commended for this - even if in-game tutorials shouldn’t take hours - but then from this perspective, what happens after 25 hours can get problematic.

All kinds of Motorcycle parts in our website, If the race toward repli-racer superiority has done anything for the rest of motorcycling,many people like to buy suzuki fairings
online,because it’s been to create a rich repository of technology ready to be re-tasked in bikes like Yamaha’s latest rendition of the Universal Japanese Motorcycle.The Japanese motorcycle accessories are very good, And as of yet, the $8490 FZ8 is essentially in a class by itself. We sell these motorcycle fairings in our website ,and It offers 80% the low and midrange torque that a literbike motorcycle review does – instead of something like 55-60% typical to a peaky 600 supersport. At the same time, We also sell auto parts,these are about as agile as a 600, but its several-thousand-rpm lower operating range will be easier going on all those close-tolerance internal parts.

For some people ,with the motorcycle industry development . The Motorcycle parts that they need are many and many .The 3rd Kawasaki CarÃ©nage and last fantastic sports activities Honda carenado bicycle belonging to the nineties. The FireBlade established the agenda, the 916 additional finesse as properly as the Yamaha YZF-R1 topped them away with additional energy and madness. Even nowadays the authentic Yamaha YZF-R1 is definitely a sports activities device for being reckoned with and updated Yamaha YZF-R1s and Suzuki Verkleidung are even extra potent and less difficult to utilize too.

You really get what you pay for with the Rosetta stone language courses . If you’re looking for other benefits, consider that fact that you don’t have to commute to college in order to learn a foreign language. Rosetta stone’s lack of compatibility with PDA’s is not a very serious drawback, especially if you don’t want to drive or walk to school anyway. If you intend to study a language entirely at home, then Rosetta stone is the best alternative to sitting in a class room. Another benefit of utilizing this powerful language learning tool is in preparation for a college course. You can use the software to learn the language and then fly through your college course, get a letter A grade, and apply the credits toward a degree or certificate.

Good story and a nice summation of the problem. My only problem with the analysis is given that much of the population joined the chorus of deregulatory mythology, given vested interest is inclined toward perpetuation of the current system and given a lack of a popular cheerleader for your arguments, I’m not seeing much in the way of change.
