I’m about nine hours in on Final Fantasy 13 and I had no idea just how linear this game is. I expected to get to a world map or something but I think it’s just not going to happen.

I’m digging the hard boss fights in the game though. Because of the linear nature it feels like I should be able to take on a boss, so I stick to it and try new strategies. The game is good and being able to retry and skip cutscenes so far.
