No spoilers here! I promise.
I'm having trouble focusing on FF XIII. I'm not sure if it's because life is so hectic lately and only recently settled into a nice calm, or if it's the game itself. I'm usually not one to complain about games being linear, but for some reason all I feel like I'm doing in this game right now is trudging along, battle after battle, waiting for the tiny moments of exposition between, and then it's right back to battle after battle. Sigh.
At least the pretty of it is keeping me entertained. I think I'm just waiting for when I finally have a whole party and a little more freedom to roam, and it seems like that's a long time coming.
That may be why the linear style and the constant battling bothers me in this game as opposed to like FF X, which functioned in just about the same exact way. At least in that one, I had a whole party by the time I reached Luca, and I already knew how to play the whole game easily. I'm in the mid-chapters already, and the game is still throwing tutorials at me. It's only a 13 chapter game! Shouldn't all of this be covered in the first two or so chapters?
