About the time you get your first usable Eidolin the combat switches from "Auto Battle-> AUTO BATTLE HARDER-> Maybe a potion-> Victory!" to having to watch your enemies and switching paradigms when you need to. It gets deeper.

There are a lot of holes that slowly get filled in as the game goes on. Jeez man do they have to go HEY THIS IS WHY I AM HERE while looking at the camera? Honestly, they are all strangers and as they come to trust each other and spend time together they open themselves up.

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.

You can't really tell but you are actually getting points to spend in your Crystarium (Sphere Grid), which opens up in chapter 4 I think.

DEAR GOD DON'T SELL YOUR COMPONENTS. You need them to level up your weapons.
