I am a little disappointed in the game so far, I feel the story is sporadic and does not build up any depth on the characters, things just happen…references to terms come out of nowhere, you will fight each dungeon for an hour to get about 10 minutes of story, the battle system is awesome, the characters are awesome, the weapon classes are cool, licensing is a neat concept, the limit breaks are cool, but get old quick, I do like how difficult parts of the game can get when you are fighting notorious monsters. I am 43 hrs in but thats because I spent 15 or so of those doing side quests. the rest you spend in dungeons, I am about 2 dungeons from beating the game… ---

not at all, You kill an enemy you get either 1 or 2 License points then you go to your menu to the license grid and you learn skills by spending LP and moving to another square(looks like a checkerboard), you learn all your magic like this, and by the time you get to where I am and having these accessories that 2x your LP, I have no where to go on the grid, everyone knows most of the magics(except for the ones I still need to buy), still actually quite a cool system because I made fran and Mage archer, and ashe a kind of paladin(mage knight) with strong magic but also decent attacks ---

:tup: nice, sounds like it’s loosely based off of the FFX leveling/magic system. Don’t get me wrong, it was sweet… but the whole assigning materia to weapons/armor, then mixing them with different status effect materia was just an awesome concept IMO. especially since you could then remove that magic from one player and assign it to someone else. do they still have party switching while in battle? I can’t wait to play this ish ---

> [@Mrs. Karus](#): > > Dos- > > FFXII is a lot like FFXI in many ways. It can be described as the solo version of FFXI. If you have not played FFXI then it will be a completely new experience for you, but i’m sure you have. If you are not sure - go and rent it - play it for a while and then make your decision. You can come play with me as i said. Who are you, and what have you done with Kristen? Since when did you become a Final Fantasy nut? I played it on a demo machine in the BLVD mall, seems pretty good. I’ve been out of the loop since IX so I don’t understand the chain thing when you are in battle, and there are some other stuff. But gameplay and story are as solid as ever. Yeah, I’ll pick it up eventually, along with whatever the next installment of Metal Gear turns out to be. But I think I might pickup Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus first. ---

Chaining is when you kill successive mobs of the same type. I’ve barely got into the game far… The gambits are cool. Like preprogramming how your characters act. whats with all the elemental based stones? Is there some sort of weapon/armor creation process? ---

monsters drop “loot” and you sell them at the stores for money, the more monsters of the same type you chain the better and more “loot” you get from them ---
