I LOVE the final fantasy series, I love sitting back and relaxing with the combat menu and dont have to button mash, I love not having to look in every direction at once for snipers like in some reality shooters.
BUT then the series changed after 9. Changed from open map to grindy linear corridors. WTF IS WITH THAT SHIT! 10 was ok despite that. Had almost all the gameplay elements I liked to play while relaxing as did 10-2.
However 12 was the biggest pile of shit I had ever played. I WANT TO CONTROL THE FUCKING CHARACTERS! And where the FUCK did my relaxing game go? Now I'm running all over the fucking battle screen just hitting attack at everything cause the battles are so easy there's no point in even bothering to use any magic or items. 24 game hours into 12 I said fuck this shit and returned it to the store.
Now we come to FFXIII. Now its at this point I'd like to reiterate that I have a massive hard-on for J-RPGS. I love them right in their emo ass. BUT (again) FFXIII with its linear corridor game-play, 20+ hour cap before it "gets good" and retard proof combat system has taken gaming design for morons to a whole new level I cannot fucking stand and WILL NOT be playing or buying this hyperised piece of SHIT!
Squeenix should be ashamed for releasing such unmitigated crap.
I don't want my fucking hand held while playing the game, I don't want the game to play it for me. I WANT TO PLAY THE FUCKER MYSELF! AND ENJOY IT! Hard battles and all. I want the challenge back that used to be there and the exploration.
I feel like Squeenix has bent me over and said "your gonna like this" and shafted me so hard I could feel my spleen pop into my throat.
*Breathes* That's how I feel about that ^_^
