Final Fantasy X is Objectively the Best Final Fantasy

[Pete for President]

Additionally, there are two ways to do JRPGs without a traditional worldmap: the FFX/XIII way, and the FFXII way. In FFX, the world -- which otherwise seems richly developed -- feels stunted and small. You get a feel for bits and pieces of it, but nothing to allow you to appreciate its scope. In FFXII, on the other hand -- and regardless of how you feel about the rest of the game -- the world feels massive, and you really experience a full trek across the world.

Except that half of XII feels like filler. A lot of areas feel empty and dull. Whereas in Spira I never had that feeling. I'd take confined but sweet over large and bloated any day.
