Not to sound generic and adding little to the conversation, I kind of agree with both of you guys. I loved FFX anyway but I still feel it would have tremendously benefitted if you had a little leeway. But there is a fine line to walk, because opening up too much choice for the player makes me completely lose interest in the game, the only one really like that which I managed to get into, lose myself in, and love was Far Cry 2, weird mentioning that game in this thread, but it was infinitely more like an RPG than most games that claim that title today, if you can believe it.
