This is the most complicated game I've played since freakin MorrowWind. It's like they tried their damnedest to cover everything with a unique system of some sort. I'm lost as hell right now, but loving it.

Yeah, it's crazy how many mechanics have they implemented in this game. Once you know how to do elemental and topple combos, the combat system is fun as hell, and arguably the best in the franchise. It took me like 20 hours to know how it works though XD.
