I was only able to play until about the middle of the second disk, about 13 or so hours, but real talk that game is wack as hell. How can you sit there and do the same crap over and over and not get sick of it?

The battle system is mad childish. The story is even worse, what world do these story line writers live in? These dudes got to be from mars. I hate fallout 3, but even that combat and story was better.

My thoughts exactly. And you do the same 'crap' over and over again in most other games too.

Starts off way too slow and that will put people off. But once you get into it it's worth playing through.

Its overly simplified. They should have taken out that auto battle bs, and then gave the option to control all party members. Or at least make a difficulty that does this. The first 10 or so hours all I did was push A, expect for the summon fights.

I hate when people say things are "mad" childish or "mad" funny. Anyway, I believe that the battle system is one of the few praises the game has been getting.

I had no idea a battle system could be childish.

Anyway, yeah, I've heard quite a lot of negative things about this game. My friend, who's a FF nut, even disliked the game. Dissapointing..

I don't think 'childish' is the right word, though i am turned off by that factor too.

Nobody forced you to use auto-battle. You could, you know, not use it. Crazy idea :|

Then why are you blaming the game for this? Obviously it's not difficult to pick out your own choices in combat. It's a matter of not pressing a button :?

I can understand that. I've been moaning about it myself. But if I'm buying a game for forty notes I'm going to get the best out of it.

Yeh, it sucks, but some JRPG's are just like that. I haven't played FF13 yet though, so I wouldn't know.

Yes, how in the world can I like FFXIII, that's just ridiculous. My mind has been compelling myself to be a guy that just loves to play boring games,It boggles my mind, it does.

13 hours in nothing, I'm at 22 and you better switch roles a lot in later fights or you'll get owned quickly.

Cause its a feature designed into the game. Who else do I blame.

It's made for the casuals, the people getting into the series for the first time and don't understand the ins and outs of RPGS. I can understand how casuals wouldn't understand chaining attacks, paradigms, summons, or whatever. The only person you can blame is yourself for using it and it's unfortunate that you had to resort to using it. But hey! being a casual gamer is nothing to be ashamed about.

personally, I've really been enjoying it. I just got to chapter 9, the story is starting to really pull me in (as it has from the beginning). The combat is getting even more complex/difficult and the bosses all require well thought out strategies. if you tried using auto-attack where I'm at, you'd get wrecked which is why I'm assume you ended up getting frustrated and quit. The graphics are phenomenal and I think the game is about to just open up where I can actually start picking my party. :]

13 hours in, or whatever you said, really isn't enough to get properly into the battle system or the story for that matter. I'll admit, the introduction to the battle system was a tad long but the battles in the later game do get really tough. At most points it's just stupid to even consider pressing Auto Battle. Even some of the regular battles can take just as much tactics as large boss battles.

While its true the battles can get repeditive they get more intresting as you switch roles get new abilities ect.
