Even that sphere grid knock off is linear. Character progression is an illusion.
I just don't understand Square's rationale this time around, omitting so many loved features. It just reeks of laziness in my opinion. They had this wonderful game engine that I'm sure cost them an obscene amount of money to develop so they concentrated on a linear story and left the rest to rot.

So far I don't think it's any worse then FFX really, that was basically a straight path until the end when you got the airship and from what I heard this is a similar deal. I do like the level up system but I do agree it's saddeningly linear although I'm guessing it might open up later like FFX when you can choose to learn roles and stuff for characters that they wouldn't normally have.
I think the only thing that's really annoying me at the moment is that it's not letting me pick my own teams when there's more then enough in the group so I hope I unlock that feature soon.
