I really dont think the game should have been penalized for not having a world map. The open areas fit just fine for me, although I do agree about the complaints in shop upgrades. Just finished the game as Jude and about to start one under Milla
Don't know why everyone is saying this is linear. The scale of the city when he jumps on the airship and when Noct fights the leviathan thing is huge. Plus the combat looks soo fluid so far
