Yeah I just bought XII the other day and when I saw how thick the strategy guide was, I decided I should buy that, too. Anyway, I'm not too far in the game (I just got Fran and Balthier and I'm in the dungeon place now) and I'm lovin' the graphics and the storyline is pretty cool but the battle system is takin' some gettin' used to. The license system reminds me of the sphere grid in X and I liked the sphere grid so the license is alright but it's kinda weird not getting randomly encountered by enemies and how you have run around while you wait for your attack bar to go up until you can attack them.
Well I just wanted to know if anyone else was feelin' this way or how others feel about the game so far (I'm the only one I know who has it) or if it gets better or anything in general. So far, I'm likin' this game.
