I'm ~28 hrs in, chapter 8. It's my first Tales game, and I rather like it. I like the fighting system, but don't like that I can't use all the characters. There's a couple in mind that I'd like being, besides Emil and Marta.

One real big thing that I hate is the amount of cutscenes, and some useless things that are said, which prolong the cutscenes. However, I don't mind the skits for some reason, even though there a lot more of those (probably because they are so humorous).

 

while you can't use others by default, you can switch to them in battle. Just hit the menu button and then hit C and you can switch.

You should try out Sheena's special move. So far I've tried Emil, Marta, and Sheena, and the best is probably Marta or Sheena unless you are facing a boss.

@main topic

I'm about 25hr in and I don't have a clue which chapter since I've been doing side quests for like the last 3 hours and forgot where I was in the game.

Emil is by far the worst lead character I've ever seen in a game, but other than that I'm enjoying it.

Interesting, I didn't know that. Thank you. I guess I'll be trying that out tonight.

There's a secret bonus dungeon that opens up on the second playthrough. Anyone get to it yet?

Well ya have to do all the Katz mission guilds that are on a certain dungeon to unlock it so I hardly did any my first playthrough.  So I'll have to beat it a second time and then go the 3rd round to get it.

Hey Zucas, what level were you at when you went to Guangagagiagf (I have no idea how to pronounce it, let alone say it, lol)?

Lvl 64 Emil and 62 Marta.  Had a lvl 88 Frenir and 84 Sphinx in most of my battles. 

To win the boss battles you just need a hell of a lot of life battles and gels to keep people alive while your monsters and Emil kills them.

From what I've read, the dungeon appears in the last chapter. All you have to go is get up to that point, no unlocking needed...

Oh... well then, guess I won't have to do a 3rd playthrough.  DAMN.

Hmm, I'm gunna need to train a bit more, I'm in the low 50's right now. I'm assuming you went through the Cerebus evolution line for the Fenrir?
