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.

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.
