Oh, another thing. At the start of the game I like to play as Farah for two reasons... with Reid you have to wait for him to start getting some arcane artes before you can do any truly damaging combos whereas with farah you just need a ground/rising/falling arte all of which she gets fairly early compared to Reid getting his stuff. Pretty sure Farah gets Rising Dragon strike really early and you can already start doing things like say...

Palm Strike => Rising Dragon Strike and then when you get Eagle Dive you can use that when coming down from the Rising Dragon Strike. Also note that she can chain these in any order unlike Reid. The thing I said before about Eagle Dive after Rising Dragon Strike was just an example though and you really shouldn't ever do that unless you have the enemy in a corner or chances are you will miss. Since Eagle Dive goes straight down (unlike some of her better falling artes you get later) I like to use it first and do something like Eagle Dive => Triple Blossom => Rising Dragon Strike (until I get other rising type artes).




The 2nd reason is that you get a move called Deadly Force and the only way to get it is to manually control Farah for 200 fights. When you get Deadly Force if you do two normal hits then a rising/falling/ground combo directly after using it, it'll trigger flame dance (one of the moves Farah uses in that video)
And one other thing, you probably have the battle control style set to semi-auto since that's how it is by default but you may want to go back to Regulus Dojo at some point and talk to one of the NPCs there (I forget which one) and get manual style if you haven't already. Test it out and see which you like best. I like manual for some very simple reasons (such as easier jumping) but I like it better nonetheless.
