The one problem I do have with it is that the game can be frustrating at times since you have to know how to set up the gambits. I am trying to fully understand the system but because I can't fully understand it, I resort to grinding which can be quite boring at times. I am 23 hours in the game and I am right before Henne Mines, how far am I into the main story?

 

About half of the game, perhaps a tiny bit further. It took me about 40-45 hours to finish it, doing very few sidequests

I have been trying to get pass Henne Mines but FFXII is quite hard at times.  I am probably going to continue this game once I beat Lost Odyssey
