You can only have up to 3 rank II Espers. You can have up to 5 rank I espers and up to 1 rank iii esper, but that rank iii esper doesn't appear automatically at the start of the battle but must be summoned at a gate if there is one.
Yea, there are some issues with the controls and battle system but they aren't huge for me. I was extremely excited for this game and it's exceeded my expectations!
EDIT:
I just finished Chapter 8! After this I talked to everybody in the Bridge and Sky Saloon sections of the airship, upgraded my equipment, and beat the two Melee Battles at Feol Warren. NINE new Tomaj Hunts just opened up!! I am going to beat all nine of them before I start Chapter 9. The characters are talking like I'm almost done with the game. I have to beat two more chapters, more hunts, more melee battles, the bonus dungeon Midlight's Deep, and some other stuff before I finish the game. I'm 76% done with the missions/hunts combined it says, and I'm 35:16 into the game. The game may take 45 hours to finish with 100% completion. Could it take close to 50 hours? We'll see, the game is pretty long for a DS rpg. I got a little confused on the story but I got some clarification recently from the characters. I'm going to work hard and beat this game. I think that the faster I beat the game(up to a max of 3 hours a day), the more fun it is, because then I don't lose track of the story and forget what happened earlier in the game, like if I had only played half an hour a day. After beating this game there's a book I am going to finish reading, and hopefully I'll get Alundra 1(1998 PS 1 action rpg) for Christmas! Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings is great!!!
EDIT:
I'm getting closer to the end of the game now!!
I am 41:09 into the game and have completed 92% of the Missions and Tomaj Hunts. I just finished Chapter 9. I finished all 32 Melee Battles. I finished 32 Tomaj Hunts so far.
I have to complete 4 more Tomaj Hunts. I have to complete the 10 floor Midlight's Deep Dungeon. I have to complete Chapter 10, which is three missions long. The game is going to be nearly 50 hours long for a 100% completion rate!!
I still stand by the earlier ratings I gave to the game, which I'll post again here...
10/10: Story
10/10: Characters
10/10: Graphics
10/10: Sound
8/10: Controls
8/10: Battle System
9/10: Polish
10/10: Length/Sidequests
Again, I'm extremely happy about the quality of this game! Is there anybody here who has beaten the Usa version of this game with 100% completion rate(all 32 Melee Battles, all 36 Tomaj Hunts, all 10 floors of Midlight's Deep Dungeon) yet? I think I'm going to be on the earlier side of the scale as far as how long it takes for people to beat it. I didn't beat Final Fantasy XII until early November of this year(about 90% completion rate) but I'm going to beat Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings in three weeks with a 100% completion rate! Everybody, please post your thoughts on the final stages of this game and your experiences with it!
EDIT:
The final ultimate missions require some leveling up. I tried to beat it and work hard but I need to level up more. Luckily each time I complete the final(#32) melee battle, atleast one character levels up. Also, it only takes 10 minutes to beat that. I'm working on preparing for the Wings of Midnight hunt. In this one I have to defeat Titan, Ramuh, Shiva, Ifrit, and then Bahamut!!!
I've got four hunts to do and then the final 3 story missions. After that the 10 level Midlight's Deep Dungeon opens up. Ok, the game is going to take 55 hours maybe!! The game is great, I'm really excited about it. I hope I don't have to level up for more than another hour, because I want to continue the game and finish this levelling up. Also, it's annoying that Balthier and Fran haven't had many great Gambits in the early/mid stages of the game. Because of this I didn't level them up as much and use them. Now I'm at the end and they are about 5-8 levels behind the other characters and still need to get 2 Gambits for them. I want to continue levelling up and playing this game!
EDIT:
The time to beat this game keeps going up! I levelled up for an hour yesterday and was finally able to beat the 3rd and 4th to last hunts. Now I have two more hunts, some levelling, then the 10 level Midlight's Deep Dungeon, and the final three story missions. The game may take 60 hours for 100% completion! I'm trying to remember how many hours for the main part of the story, maybe 30?
