I am now done with chapter two (I was in chapter two when I wrote my first post here, I just remembered incorrectly), and the final mission/fight in chapter two was hard, long and very, very satisfying! Yes, I am hooked. I am now levelling before starting the plot missions in chapter three, as I gather that would be a wise move.

Hazzard: Yeah, I have the same problems. Sometimes, the leaders and Espers just clog up and I can't find the person who I want to click on. It's difficult to manouver them if I want half of them to attack one foe and half to attack another. So far, I've done this on sheer numbers and force, while activly healing with Penelo. :-p
