There's linearity in story, which is not bad, and there's linearity in gameplay, which I personally dislike. But still, I guess it's a "to each their own" thing.
You don't have to be that great a programmer to make something interesting in terms of gameplay, though it would require effort. RMMV / RMMZ give you enough tools to not have to be a programmer to make something cool gameplay-wise. Even if you never end up using battles.
Still, I don't wish to be bitter. I was just talking about the wasted potential because I liked the concept.
