Chapter 1 - 8.0 - Starts off a bit slow, and the nifty battle system is made somewhat boring due to the "auto battle" button.
Chapter 2 - 8.5 - Interest starts rising!
Chapter 3 - 9.5 - The environment is absolutely incredible! You also gain access to Paradigm Shifts, really livening up the battle system.
Chapter 4 - 9.0 - Brought down a bit by drab environments and enemies that can be tedious to kill because of their high health. However, the battle system keeps getting cooler as new Paradigms are introduced alongside the party members gaining access to new moves. Given the thought you have to put into which Paradigms you should use, the "auto battle" button suddenly makes a bit more sense, as you can only focus on so much at once.

Overall - 2.0/10

Yup! Vanille's almost as hot, but she looks goofy cuz she's pigeon toed and has an annoying English VA.  Her voice sounds perfectly normal sometimes (a bright English with no real discernable accent), and other times it's some weird Southern US variant with a hint of British.

Honestly, the voice kinda killed her for me.  =/

Just finished Chapter 6. This chapter really does have some tough boss fights and a lot of crap is revealed. Very good chapter. It's not quite perfect as the difficulty is quite sporadic in this one.

9.5/10

I really hope it isn't this hard cus  know that will hamper my enjoyment.
