so why do people dislike this game for the sphere grid?

i heard people hate this because the sphere grid is to liner but i beg to differ. like i can go any direction with any character with like no restrictions i think its the best. in giving me multiple options for different character set ups.

shpere grid is amazing i know what im going to get when i progress down it and it gives you the ability to skip stuff you don't need or want. personally this is my favorite ff game. i found ff7 overrated the plot always seemed sub par like a bad anime plot. though most ff games are like that. the characters are meh

I see what you did, nice bro, started an off-topic just so you could throw in a few jabs at the reason FFX exists... nice going man.

FFX is exactly a dumbed-down, less mature, bad voice acting FFVII. There is literally no difference in the story if you step back and put it together piece by piece.

FFX- No Friends-- Meet up with people you don't know-- go on journey-- save the world

FFVII- No Friends--Meet up with people you don't know-- go on journey--save the world

oh wait, that's every JRPG, lol

Piece!

funny the games are similar in plot though most rpgs have a plot that focuses around a religion lying to people to have ultimate power. almost all rpgs include a cast of characters that don't know each other till the start of the game. really there is no such thing a a original rpg ff7 wasn't even original the rpgs of today are mostly considered different based on there play styles.
bad voice acting not bad considering it was there first time at doing it. just face most ff7 is over rated and liked by people who never played it and people who wouldn't know what makes a good rpg not saying there isn't people who like it for a real reason but there are just so few of them. now as for the other games there hit and miss 6 was great better plot and great game play same for 9 which may be the best in the series.my favorite/best order for the top 5 is ffx,ff9,ff6,ff3,ff7.

though back to the topic like the things i hate about ffx are few in numbers like some of the ultimate weapon things are to annoying. kimari or how ever you spell his name is pretty much a clone character taking to much time to be better than the other characters. and no new game plus which we never get. though i think the sphere grid is the easiest and best laid out lving system. you know what you get in the future and you can chooses not to lvl it up meaning i can stop my guys from growing in strength.

People don't dislike this game for the sphere grid as much as it is horribly linear and has no character depth.

The sphere grid isn't even that bad, especially compared to XIII's.

yet again character depth is something that isn't really there in any ff game a few have it. as for linear yes it is but they do it in a way that its still interesting like i couldn't wait to progress the story and see the new areas. unlike ffxiii i was just waiting for that game to end.

I mean yes a game made in 2001 you can not expect to have the same level of character development as Elder Scrolls Skyrim.

Elder Scrolls had character depth? Isn't someone with character depth supposed to have you know... a depth of character and not just lore or story? Your character doesn't even talk. (Amazing game though)

The only true "open world" games are on PC.

Elder Scrolls, Dark Souls, Kingdoms of Amalur, Dragons Dogma, The Witcher 2 all say hi.

Yes but there are paths you still have to follow in order to advance....a true open world game means you stick it in and do whatever and go where ever you want. And as far as the character development things goes I wasn't referring to the main character obviously.

hes right games like skyrim are just a real big sand box game even the random seeming encounters are planed. to truly have a open world the game would have to have no bounders or rules or not many rules.

Truthfully such games don't exist in real life yet and may never exist out side the world of sci-fi or anime. sadly what we call open world just a bigger box than the not open world with less rules(to make it seem open). all they ever do is make the sand box bigger and make the events more complex to trigger making it seem like an open world.
