October 22, 2003
Updater on duty: Googleshng
Next week will be a special edition of the roundtables, focused entirely
on the upcoming Final Fantasy XI. So I should really be saying "every Wednesday but this one" in
yon sidebar.

The opinions expressed in the following topics are the opinions of these people do not necessarily reflect the opinions of RPGamer as a whole, nor the RPGamer staff members not participating in the roundtable.

This Week's Topics |
 |
| FMVs |
| What does everyone think when RPGs constantly pause the action to play a big nice looking movie? |
| Linearity |
| Today the norm is to have such rigid linearity in a game that many developers forego a world map and simply string every area together in a nice little line. |
| Mazes |
| What does everyone think of the abandonment of mazes by the modern RPG? |
