honestly, XII was the most "open" of the FFs, and i would get so sidetracked from the story by walking around and not knowing what corner of the desert i was in, i didn't even care anymore. not that XII had a good or decent story anyways, so whatevs. But that's the point - XIII is designed to keep you glued and paced through the story, not get detached and distracted from it.
I get that's the point, and rather appreciated the game for doing that.

I'm just saying it's not really much of an open world, where as people were making it sound epic or something.
