I finally got back to this game and have largely finished going through series mode. I just need to complete some of the challenges. A little miffed FFVI got snubbed in the amount of tracks it had, while FFXIV got a whopping 32 tracks.

The character skill system is interesting, at first I wasn't a fan because it made certain challenges more of a pain and some characters lost their usefulness, but now I'm looking at it more as a party composition type deal, and it's made using more characters for different tasks much more viable. So cool beans.
