I loved the Gambit system too. Usualy I'm bored by combat. It's what you do to get enough points to see the next part of the story. But I loved experimenting with new Gambits and combinations. Plus I could occasionaly just sit back and watch Balthier pose.

Lots of locations, all as pretty as Myst. I found myself running back through locations to look at the scenery. (SPOILER)The reflecting mist in the Feywood was facinating. A simple but very dramatic effect.

I liked Fran and Balthier's story. I wish there was more story from Vaan and any story at all from Penelo.
