It's pretty much true. The gameplay, the graphics are nice, but overall, you go through dungeons to do quests/jobs, you level up some then open a new area, where you go in a new dungeon, etc... I'm a bit disappointed at the lack of world map for example, as in "you can walk over the world, see villages and all", as opposed to the "click on the dot on the map to go directly to the dungeon" map they use.
