If you find a cheap copy of 12, grab it to try it out (or borrow one if you know anyone who's got it)
13 was OK - I managed to get 20 hours in and turn it off because of the completely linear system. Liked the battle system a lot though. Very engaging.

X-2, I played that game for about 1 hour and I couldn't get over the fact of how horrid it was. It didn't help that the estrogen was turned up to the max on it as well. If anyone has had a good experience with this, I'd love to hear it.

RPGs in general have tried to go with a more linear experience and fail. Honestly? Square should look at redoing the graphics on FF3 and selling that. Nothing beats the FF3 experience. Maybe you tweak the battle system slightly to make it more like the 13 one.
