I'm nearing the end towards Chapter Four now and I'm thoroughly enjoying the game. It seems the problem with espers wandering away becomes insignificant if you just keep on clicking at the place where you're directing them to go to. I find it slightly annoying that I have to cast spells manually sometimes, and that the magic takes like two minutes to actually be conjured - You're characters just keep battering away at their foes without really following orders most of the time, that's how I came by a string of KO's in Chapter Three.

Llyud's Revive is a lifesaver! To be honest, so far only Lluyd, Penelo and Kytes are really effective in this game, the other three including Vaan can only really buff up your party. Nothing else really.

BTW, what level should I be to finish Chapter Four?
