Final Fantasy XIII detraction has reached its zenith with the game being lampooned for its extreme linearity (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/12/18/final-fantasy-xiii-as-linear-as-a-piece-of-string/) in seminal satire Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/tag/sayonara-zetsubou-sensei/).
“They spent 5 years making huge dungeons which in the end were whittled down by superiors and marketing… Now it’s just a one-way tunnel!”
Development Department – “I’ll bet today’s kids can’t clear it like that!”
That the game has been dumbed down into an excessively linear “CG movie player with RPG elements (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/12/24/fans-disgusted-by-final-fantasy-xiii/)” has been the major bone of contention (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/12/20/why-final-fantasy-xiii-is-a-bad-game/) amongst fans and even a few commercial reviewers (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/01/09/final-fantasy-xiii-biggest-swindle-in-gaming-history/), although it seems likely the game will continue to be a great commercial success even as it is a critical failure, thanks to the overpowering Final Fantasy brand.
