Welcome to Gaia! ::

Haven't really played it. But from what I've seen its awesome. biggrin

Alundra, I'll let you borrow mine when I'm done. It's the 360 version.

I like what I've seen and gone through so far in the game. I'm not liking the simple button-mashing of the auto-chain but it's a waste of energy to come up with your own chains after you've Libra-ed the beastie(s). I'm preferring to play this game over the Halo: Reach beta simply because I don't have to be connected to XBL to play it and I'm having minor issues getting my 360 to connect right now. All in all for now, I like it for what it is, and that's a good story.

I just passed it two nights ago...I gota say the story was alright. The ending wasn't the best but overral i think the game wasn't as bad. The fighting system was unique and liked the many combination's it had to offer.

I have to say that for the part that I've played so far....Lightning and Fang both as Commandos is simply orgasmic xD Nothing better than aggressive girl-girl action *cough* I haven't had too much problem with characters standing next to each other, especially once you get the beasties staggered and the Commandos rip them apart with Launch followed by whatever attacks your Ravagers happen to dance them up in the air with.

It's tricky, I know, but from what I've read through interviews and such, it's supposed to be that way. It's fun, IMO! Like in XII once you've got the Gambit system down, you probably can figure out ways to rig it to be pure badass-ness? If that made any sense at all? LOL

Personally, I would've preferred to play it on PS3 just for the graphical improvement but...my 360 will have to suffice for the time being. Just for the hell of it I'm going to write a sort-of academic paper on relation to the theme song "My Hands" by Leona Lewis to the game. Maybe do a compare-contrast to the Japanese theme song? Not sure yet.

I like having Vaniel in my party cuz I really hate the Emo-ness of Hope. For the time being I have Vaniel as my leader, Snow and Lightning, for no real other reason that they're the only ones with leveled up weapons. Since most of the time the AI is STUPID about being a medic I keep Vaniel as the leader so I can be smart about it. I've been trying to level off Alpha Behemoths in the beginning of Chapter 11 and I can't survive after it's transformation to it's more humaniod stance unless I've got a sentinel at all times. But the random movement that the characters do almost always causes Vaniel to move slowly over til she stands next to Snow...... just in time for the Behemoth to use it's Sunder attack.... killing Vaniel in 1 hit. It's maddening how often this happens. Anybody have any tips on how I could avoid it?

I'm on Chapter 7 where they've infiltrated Hope's house so I'm using the seemingly-infinite spawn to max out my team's current state of development.

I'm liking the Commando-Commando-Ravager combination, especially since once an enemy is staggered two people can use Launch, which is pretty sweet.

I'm realizing that the more I play sweatdrop Seriously, I wouldn't have bothered to level my characters if Yumei hadn't mentioned her doing that. I was going to see how far I could get just blazing through the story.
