I mean, in FFX there was no world map, and even Super Mario Bros. had more sense of freedom than in FFX. FFX was just "walk-this-path-and-you'll-find-next-path-or-a-boss" type of game with no freedom at all. Sure, world map in FFs I-IX was not so large either, but at least it was there and gave you the illusion of freedom.
So, is this different or does it in fact keep on the same tracks?
Square killed what FF was renowned for, the overworld. However, it kind of does have an overworld. It's a bit of a mix. It's overworld is a lot like that of Guild Wars.

It is different, but definitely in a good way.
