Not just your partners, but your entire party. Nearly any behavior you could carry out manually can instead be automated, and by arranging your Gambits' priority, you can even assemble a strategy that adapts automatically to a changing battle.

Assuming you haven't sold the items in the wrong quantities or something. If B is created using 5 As and 5 Cs, my logic states that if I sell 50 As and Cs, I should get 10 Bs. But I don't. And this is ridiculous and not something that an average player would figure out.
I wouldn't mind following a guide to get the Tournesol and its like, if only it were that simple. My problem is, even after you know what you need, actually getting the right loot to drop is such a slow, random, painful process that I would probably add another fifty hours to my play time by the time I were finished.

I'm crazy about this game; I completed the Sky Pirate's Den, which is no joke. But I draw the line at ridiculous random drops.
