I'll say what I've said elsewhere...

The first fight in the game, the enemy attacked right before Lightning did, and Lightning decided that she'd just run against the geometry of his arm for a second or two instead of, you know, attacking. Great start, game!

Other than that, it's okay. Combat is still boring as fuck because usually all I do is press auto-battle, since when I was playing with Lightning, I didn't notice Blitz for a while, and now I'm playing as Not-Seifer, so the same is happening here.

There also seems to be the gaping plot hole of why are Sahz and Lightning even together. It just throws them together in the beginning, and I have no idea how they're together and why they're grouped up. It seems they just met, and aren't too fond of each other. SO WHY ARE THEY TEAMED UP? Blergh.

Sahz is pretty awesome, even if he suffers from "Haha the animal can talk but he's the only one who can understand it" durpa durr syndrome.

Also, I miss my normal levels. Combat feels kinda pointless right now, since half the time I don't get anything, and the other half of the time I get potions and maybe a Phoenix Down. No thanks, game. I don't think I've used an item yet, I don't need any more. I guess I get components, which maybe I'm supposed to sell for money? I dunno, maybe I'm supposed to save them up for something, so that's what I'm doing now. Only thing I can buy at the store right now is more items anyway, because fuck this game be eeeeeaaaasy.

Also, @Blues, you complained a lot about having to sell stuff for money in XII, but I don't think I've noticed you do the same for this game. Any particular reason why, or does the game start handing out money like candy after the tutorial?
