So far so good. The game is really sucking me in with the characters and the gameplay. I can finally say the battle system is getting complex and rather intricate. Even thought there's not much in the line of options when it comes to character progression I enjoy building up each character with their roles in mind. For example, I use Hope primarly a Medic and Lightning as a Commando. I sort of assign each character a role and spend the majority of my CP in that role. I'd also like to mention how tough Sazh's summon was. He was the biggest pain in the ass so far but I so how managed to beat him. The story is really picking up and I enjoy watching the characters interact with each other realizing that they're more connected than they thought as first.

Also graphics wise, the game is a masterpiece in my opinion. These are some of the best visuals I've seen technically and artistically. It was the first time since playing Uncharted I actually put the controller down and stared in awe. There was this one spot was just outside of Hope's home where there was a sunset that you could see as it went behind the building. A realistic suset is always impressive to me.

Overall, I'm really enjoy this game. I can really see me spending a lot of time with this game especially when it opens up in Chapter 11. Right now, I'm on Chapter 9. This might be the game that gets me back into JRPGS.
