I don't see how 3 characters would make a huge difference. The dialogue sucks anyway.

FFX is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. When people say FF13 is linear, the mean the entire game is linear, not just the direction you walk in.

Oh and I meant the complete opposite end of the spectrum in regards to quality. FFX is amazing. FF13 is ass. It's incredibly boring and the hand holding is absurd.

Three might not, but if they had those other new characters join and considered letting some of the XIII cast join at various points it'd make a considerable difference imo.

What I meant was I'm curious why they changed to 2 PCs and a monster compared to previous games where it was 4 or more characters you could swap in/out almost whenever you want to. Unless I read something wrong it sounds like you don't ever actually get one of the other new characters or Snow to use in battle, but just get the Lightning DLC as your only 3rd human ever if you buy it.

Why are you comparing it to the other mainline games and not X-2 which only had 3 party members for the entire game.

I like to forget about X-2 aside from the gameplay! It would make a better comparison though yeah. I don't want it to come off sounding like I am complaining about it or anything. It's just curiosity bugging me.

Wouldn't be the first time an FF game was bested by its direct sequel.

Hopefully he meant After Years or Revenant Wings, but I feel 99% confident he didn't.

Anyone can feel free to ignore pjbasis's opinion on most things.

Especially when FFX is involved.

Revenant Wings > XII is the only option that isn't horrendous.
