This game is fucking trash. Worst Final Fantasy and not even a JRPG.

Is it worse that FF13 1 and 2?

People whine so much about FFXIII's linearity and it is just dumb. I don't really know why a game has to be huge open world. It's kind of overrated. The only open world game that I've found truly worth playing for its world is Breath of the Wild. Elder scrolls is touted for their open worlds but they are filled with tons of uninspired repetitive dungeons. The combat of the elder scrolls series is nothing to write home about and the story is often just not present. Breath of the Wild is probably the first time i've found myself enjoying at the very least combat and the world.

The point is if a game can't be breath of the wild. An open world is just not a necessity. Else we get shit like FFXV where we get this big map filled with 1 town and 20 gas stations while we waste hours of play time traveling from point a to point b by car. We get quests that are just a bunch of no brain objectives and a story that vanishes in the presence of an open world.

FFXIII was great and FXIII-2 was fine barring the dumb pokemon crap.

Lightning Returns though. Is just a hot mess. The game is an aimless waifu lightning fanservice game. The story which seemed to be set up for a rather epic ending kind of falls apart because narrative takes a backseat to the "open world" features the game has that lets you do the game whatever order you choose. The combat also feels really un-intuitive. Even by the end of the game i had no idea why sometimes I would get steamrolled. You can also get screwed on the final boss and be forced to repeat all 13 days over again (with stat roll overs) if you find yourself unable to overcome the final boss with your current equipment.
