His description of the linearity and battle system is dead on. The battle system is an improvement over that of FFXII, which required zero interaction once you set it up, but it's a far cry from perfect. I understand that they made the paths more linear to focus on the storyline, but I still found it rather disappointing. They spent years and years on this game and I felt like they focused on making the "first HD FF" rather than the most powerful story in a FF ever. The graphics were impressive. The storyline, battle system, and linearity? Not so much.

On the flip side, his correlation between the individual characters and specific archetypes were a bit off. Understandable since he only played it a few hours. Comparing Lightning to Quistis and Auron is a bit of an insult to them. Neither one of them would behave in the fashion she did in the first half. The one I can definitely agree with is Vanille. I honestly didn't mind her behavior, but the voice...I hope that was a fake accent because it was off in so many points it was grinding on my nerves. I don't know how to explain it. It was just off. And don't hate on poor Rikku. She was a bit dingy but I'd so go out with her. She knew how to have a good time and didn't let the shit hitting the fan bother her
