Yeah, the newer FF's seem more restricted when it comes to exploring. Moving from place to place in a more straightforward fashion is more realistic, but jeez, it's Final FANTASY. It used to be more of a challenge, having to walk (or fly, or sail,) from place to place across the big wide world...

The newer games also kind of have a charm of their own, though. I mean, even I loved FFX, and even enjoyed FF12, because each had their own unique little aspects, just like the older FF's before them.

But what especially bothers me is the addition of voice actors in some of the games...no voices was another charming feature of the older games, and I wish that would have stuck around.
