well i would have to disagree with you on the combat. it was pretty lacking in my opinion and have way more fun with tales games combat.
as for him being all a little bitch about blowing up the earth was super gay as you said, but he gets over it sometime on disc 2. I didn't notice anyone pissing me off besides how you said Edge was all gay during that point and Lymle being so f*ing weird. The others were all fine in my opinion.
And yea story takes forever to even know what is gonna be the story. you are for a while just doing something on each planet that isn't connected to one another.
I had rented the game which was a bad choice by me cause i started to dislike the game because i was rushing through it later. I would have loved to spend timing getting 100% on each creature, spending more time crafting weapons, and doing sidequests on the planets. Also being able to use the other characters more. I HATE how RPGS still haven't gotten past the 4 teamates. I hate not being able to use everyone, or at least 6 of them usually. There is usually a couple taht i dislike or could care less about. But then there are also a couple that I want to use relaly bad too, but can only use 4.
Why did HD generation have to be just that HD (and not even that, usually barely 720 and low frames per second). They should use that extra power the systems have to let us use more characters at a time fighting. fight more enemies at a time. Better transition into battles, many things. If all those things were amazing, I could easily be stuck playing FF9, or 8 graphics wise. But no we just get stuck with better graphics and same old gameplay, and limitations.
Those are the things that I almost enjoy the most in RPG's now a days. The stories are all been done and predictable enough that there just there to give the game a purpose.
