i've put more time into the game.
i wrote somewhere in another post that i had an issue with the controls and the camera angling when moving and in battle. i've found that with time, i've gotten used to it.
getting used to it is one thing; disliking the camera angling and the centering while moving is another. a lot of people said to disregard my comments on what i thought about the whole ordeal, because you'll get used to it.
i haven't played any other phantasy star games, so i don't know if the way the camera moves is just staying true to the series or if this is just the way it is with this game. like i said, the game is a good game overall; i find nothing more entertaining than a plethora of weapons to use from a wealth of different usable classes in an rpg style game. i've also gotten used to the controls, but i still think that the control scheme and the camera functioning could have been a lot better.
anyway, when you're moving around, especially in town, you move and run along a linear path, which is diagonal for whatever reason. while you can center the camera on the fields when you're exploring and fighting with L, you can't while in town, and i always seem to forget that. i'll be moving around and accidentally press the L button, and my character does some stupid emoticon action that greatly annoys me.
i've always been a critic of sorts, and while i sound particularly harsh on aspects of this game, i do like it, so don't let that throw you off. if i truly disliked the game, i wouldn't have wasted my time writing anything about it.
good luck on picking it up hydra. i think it's definitely worth it.
