Which of course, is nonsense. Gran Pulse was also called "Like the calm lands of X" when it is nowhere near. There were more things to do and find in X, not just a token choco game and 100 more battles for the sake of it.

And as you said, after that you are back to linear again.

I just wanted to say, what Toriyama says in your signature seifer is absolute bullfaeces. FFXI manages to have interactive towns in HD, as well as XIV is rumored to have them.

Squenix really has just followed the sound of money to the giant pen marked MMORPG haven't they? This makes me sad.
