I'm about 8 1/2 hours into the game and my ideas so far:
The Crystarium is absolutely awesome.
The Paradigm Shift function is really helpful in battles since you can't fully control the other players. Being able to switch from attack, to support, to buff at the flick of a switch is very helpful
The linear part doesn't really bother me that much. After reading a few reviews into it, they say that it really helps push you through alot of the main story plot instead of getting sidetracked basically. It doesn't bother me much.
The graphics in the actual gameplay are really nice. I love the cameras in this. They're not too overbearing to move around, but the characters, like when running to a save spot, slide when stopping. Nothing too horrible, just nitpicky.
The cutscenes... I'm completely floored by. Even the intro video made me want to NOT stop playing this game. I really can't get the point out more when I say this.. but the environments are rediculously detailed, and.. yeah. Complete video-gasm.
Voices for the most part are perfect. Sazh's voice really doesn't fit him. And Vanille's voice just bothers me.
How far is everyone? I'm up to where you get Lightning's Eidolon, Odin. And wow, I was sad that I had to go to bed for work in the morning.
