I was looking forward to the game and even liked some aspects. I thought the pace of battles was pretty good and I liked the spin on the job system in terms of doing paradigm shifts. Those things felt fresh. But they made battles boring, bland, and copious enough that the auto feature was needed, and they made them easy enough that auto pretty much beats all fights. That makes any decisions you name in fights feel really really useless.
I was really disappointed with summons. They were super lame and corny, and I would have much preferred summons to be more like Cid was in the same game.

The corridor thing felt a lot more restrictive than FFX for reasons people ITT have already listed. And I was already not liking it back then. XIII had very few side quests both during and at the end of the game. Once you finally got to that big map, there wasn't much there, and the endgame stuff was essentially to go back and fight palette swaps of enemies. At least X put some effort into developing a relationship with all of the different places, whereas XIII more felt like a turn-based DMC on auto pilot.

The plot was really dumb, poorly told, and the characters were incredibly annoying. But I thought that about X, too.
