I'm nearing the end of this, and the more I play the more the game's flaws become annoying. I got exhausted of it just before the final dungeon area, and decided to try to push through it, only to find that I was severely underlevelled to fight the end boss, not even able to touch him except with Riki/Melia's attacks, which weren't close to enough. So I dropped it for a few weeks, came back to it, and am slowly (very slowly) doing the necessary grind. So yeah, great jrpg and all that, but goddamn can I get a game that I don't have to play with a spreadsheet/internet/gamefaqs next to me so I can not only avoid spoilers but also not have to do the 'find the chest/bauble with the 1% chance of spawning what you need' thing that permanently turned me off the Final Fantasy series? And trading oh god. Trading could have saved this, but failed utterly, almost making things worse. I did appreciate having Juju tell you where the gently caress to try to find some of the stuff, but so much of that and other quests turned into wiki pokearounds where I'd have to plan out 9-10 steps to get a single item because this begat that which begat that. Area affinity can suck it too. At least gem crafting wasn't critical for non-80+ level stuff. These probably wouldn't be such sticking points if it weren't basically mandatory to do them, given the large gap between the party level where the storyline dumps you out and the party level necessary to beat the game. I was hoping to do this game with no spoilers, no internet/wiki, but it wasn't meant to be. But maybe they'll learn from this and improve, it's obvious they're trying to correct a lot of flaws that previous jrpg titles suffered from.
