1) What are these Chain things I see? Sometimes it'll add up (it shows it just above your party's hp) and sometimes my dudes will just hit multiple times. How do I controll this? Is it better if you can build up a larger chain? How do you make them hit multiple times like that? (Ok, that was more than one question.)
2) I was using LP on Balthier and I took him off of guns and went to bows. Mostly because I had bows available to me that gave him a lot mroe attack power than his guns. My question is, what is the benefit of having a character stay on a certain line of weapons? What if I had everybody doing swords, including Fran and Balthier (who both start out using ranged weapons)? Does it make a difference or is it just personal preferance? I'm wondering because I don't see anything on the License Board that would lead me to believe you get special powers or abilities depending on which weapon chain you choose.
