Final Fantasy XIII has been criticised for many things, but perhaps none so damming as those from Star Wars: The Old Republic writing director Daniel Erickson.
According to Erickson, Final Fantasy XIII shouldn’t be classed as an RPG.
“I just want to take a slightly more controversial route: You can put a ‘J’ in front of it, but it’s not an RPG,” Erickson told Strategy Informer. “You don’t make any choices, you don’t create a character, you don’t live your character… I don’t know what those are – adventure games maybe? But they’re not RPGs.”
Despite some redeeming features, we felt more than a little disappointed by Final Fantasy XIII.
