'If you watched a full walkthrough of VII you could easily tell if it was linear or if the story was bad or if it had a good battle system.'
If I watched a full walkthrough of FFVII I'd get very bored fast, despite FFVII being a great game. There's few things more tedious than watching someone else play a game. Playing the game is a very different experience.
'Are you suggesting to me that by playing it you are given amazing powers of understanding'
Yes. Yes I am.
And I honestly don't care if it's linear or not.
