I have a problem with non linked battle members just standing around. I've fiddled with the ai. I've heard this was a fixed in xillia 2. While it is a great game, there are a few characters that just irritate me, more than the normal jrpg characters that are annoying (Ivan, teepo). I'm 25 hours in... I'd rate it similarly to valkyria chronicles, xenoblade, and xiii-2' which are my favorite hd twins jrpgs aside from the souls series. They all have a lot of strengths and a few irritating weaknesses. (8.5)
I differ in that I like the characters a lot more than the 10 hours I've played in graces concurrently, as well as music. The graphics have are a bit bland in a lot of places. The battle system in graces seemed more fluid. This still has a great battle system, and I think I prefer it, bUt some I think the reviews for this game were fair, I'd give it a bit higher than the meta.
I also like Jude a lot, but I think there is a bit too much focus on him like Vaan in ff12 (he is a better character than Vaan IMO), but he's not really more interesting then rowen, Alvin, milla, but gets the screen time as milla. but I think a lot of people disagree with me.
