Odin fight made me rage. So far, really liking this game. Too bad I'm at work... QQ

So how do you change your party leader?

You don't, afaik. What is the role level for >_<

[Tyrath]

Oh? I thought you were able to pick who you fought battles as, just not change during fights

[Darus Grey]

Not until near the end of the game.

Question on medic paradigm...when the fuck do they ever cure? Haven't really seen it taken place because the medic keeps getting raped w/o provoke.

My Medics always start spamming Cures on everyone the second I change to it :X

Really trying to figure out how the battle ranking system works, seems like when I cut off the charge gauge to dish out quick attacks and keep the stagger gauge increasing, I get a lower score.

FFs have been in decline for quite some time, so giving a game with clear issues "the benefit of the doubt", is a sign of fanboyism, not much else. Ripping a game based off reviews isn't as "funny" as the steadfast defense it gets based on concepts like "benefit of the doubt", from people who also "haven't played it yet".

Old-school FF fanboys are the worst.

[Correction]

So how do you change your party leader?

You can't until just before the last boss of chapter 10.

I take it the battle system wants you to switch paradigms constantly, in order to increase your attack gauge faster.

I thought it's purely based on how fast you finish your fight... this is something that I've never investigated.

It's 100% about how fast you kill the mob. Some mobs have incredibly strict limits (See Mission 35) while others are very very generous (Tonberries spring immediately to mind).

what is the point of the Role Sphere thing in the Crystarium?? :\

Eventually the Crystarium will get upgraded and you will be able to go forward... that sphere is just in the way of the next level, although it probably isn't available to you right now.

Aight so I just picked up my copy from gamestop... since when do they take your driver license info and fingerprint for trading in a game (T rating even), what the fuck?

[Ohemgee]

Whats the free code shit for?

[Katlan]

Never realized I would miss the battle victory music, its become a staple lol

[Chun Liroy]

Initial impression as everyone else has said zomgorgeous.

[Zerv]

In my town its useless to preorder most stuff cause if you really want you can find a copy. I'd hate to preorder something like this and get it a week after its release. Then go to the store and see tons of copies on the shelf.

2 more references to previous games:

Spoiler: show

The ship that Snow is taken on after being captured is called The Lindblum (FF9's castle) and Cid Raines outfit looks like Aldo from FFXI.

Anyone else finding this whole Crystarium system easy? Been able to max out every level relatively quick so far. Not to mention the graphics for it is a pain in the ass to navigate.
