Re: Final Fantasy XIII

Fastest selling doesn't mean best selling, it just means that the game had a lot of hype, and FFXIII had a LOT of hype. It was originally announced around the same time as the system itself, so it's been on the minds of fans of the franchise for years. Plus the game is really god damned pretty, so that works to its advantage in screenshots and trailers. When it comes down to the actual brass tacks of playing the game, however, something most people only get the opportunity to experience after having bought it, a lot of people are going to find that they just are not as enamored with the concept as they thought they would be.

How is it any different than leveling up and getting new abilities every few levels? It's just the same system with different numbers, and you get to pick what you want first, I don't really see a problem here.
Maybe because the last FF game with a linear leveling system was FFIV?
