What's with all the people arguing over party "setups" like it's some permanent thing? I mean, do you guys like... not rotate party members around so you get to see all the flavours of the battle system? Not to mention if you use the same party all the time you miss out on pretty much all the cool interactions, both in battle and during quests, and you also don't get affinity...
That just seems like a completely stupid way to play the game. I change combinations like, every five minutes, usually to make a party that fits the moment. If I'm in Colony 6 I'll use Sharla and if I'm in Alcamoth I'll use Melia, and so on, so that I am more likely to get extra dialogue in quest conversations and stuff like that. And if I'm fighting someone with a connection to certain party members, no way am I not going to use those members in the battle.
So do you just not even understand what they're saying during battles?
Tranny seems to hate the battle banter but I really like it, it's nice to hear everyone encouraging each other.
Actually, I know enough Japanese to understand at least 50% of what they're saying. But I always enjoy media in their original language regardless. Dubbing is a stupid practice any way you look at it.
PS: I've played at a pretty reasonable pace and now I'm finally getting close to the finale at 130 hours clocked. The reviewers calling this a 40 or 60-hour game must have been doing it very wrong. Well, I guess it's their job to actually beat the game within the deadline so they probably rushed it, but man what an underestimate.
Also this is a sure top 10 game ever for me, and I've played a lot of games. Best game since Super Mario Galaxy!
