>Does it stay linear?

It opens up a little halfway through, but dungeons are still linear.

XIII really isn't as bad as people say.
I personally picked it up for dirt cheap couple years ago, despite having heard all sorts of shit about it.

The BEGINNING really didn't even try to prove all the bad claims about it wrong, but luckily, to my own surprise as well, the more I played, the more entertaining and hooking it became. It's not GOTYAY or best JRPG ever in any sense, but it's FAR from the "worst crap ever" -category. A solid 7/10 experience IMO.

The sequels fixed, expanded and improved many things, especially pacing and gameplay.
Up to you whether you like the direction they went with the plot and cast, but they're not hideous either. I found especially LR to be total blast, easily my 2014's GOTY. The 13-2 was simply fun, easily 8/10 at least.

Sweet. I'll pick it up and dive in.

I'm fresh off Nier Automata so keen to play more PC JRPGs. Still hoping for Lost Odyssey on PC though.

Explain.

Also, you're a complete fag.

attaboy.
Some protips I can give especially for the 1st game is to 1) turn off the minimap. Especially at the start, and 2) learn off of the "Auto-Battle" spam as soon as possible. Manual attack combos + the REPEAT function are way more fun, versatile, and effective even.

If you live in burgerland, enable all the subtitles. There's a lot of story stuff that becomes (more) apparent via random chatter the characters may spew out out of the blue.

Slow as shit battle system
Enemies that do tiny damage whilst having high hp to make battles last forever
Auto-res mechanic that makes any challenge the game has to offer redundant
Terribly generic story

inb4 'muh short stories'

It's a game that would be in the dustbin of history if it were released at any other time, but it was released at a similar time to ff13, so it's used as a stick to beat that game with despite being next to worthless

you should start your b8 with a less obvious lie.

It's among the worse FF's, but not as bad as people make it out to be. The combat system at first I found atrocious, but the more I played it, the more I dug it.

I'd like to know what kind of crazy drugs you have to consume to turn one of THE fastest and flashiest FF battlesystems since X-2 feel or play "slow" for you.
