the girl translator is creeping me out

I already pre-ordered it, but thus far the battle system sounds confusing to me. I'm hoping when I get my hands on it though I'll enjoy it.

i think i speak for most of us when i say gambits were slow paced annoyences especially compared to the paradigm system.while im on comparisons, thank god they didnt make you use the cristarium to equip.hey vaan! wanna equip the zodiac spear? well all you gotta do is face a ton of battles and waste your time on a system that doesnt make logical sense! seriously, i spend some weird points i got from some monsters and now i can wear a hat? who needs a board to tell them how to wear a hat?

@Hybridstaind124 It isn't, dont worry. Its actualy pretty easy for half of the game (thats a minus for me =/). The first 4-5 hours of play you'll actualy think its too dumb XD But thats only for you too get used to it. You only get to control the group leader (wich you can decide to be anyone, if you're outside battle) and sometime you can ativate "paradigm shift" to decide what their AI should concern about.

@melculrapid a time limit appears if you take too long to end a battle. they were maybe trying to prevent you from doing a mission or boss that you shouldnt at your current evolution by healing/protecting yourself like crazy the entire battle while dealing slow damage.

@melculrapid I see, I didn't know that to be honest. Then again I'm not that far in the game. Thanks for pointing that out.

[melculrapid]

@Matt2501 I found out that t=bosses will cast doom if you take to long

[Matt2501]

@melculrapid They're talking about the time limit to get 5 stars

[kadaj187]

[melculrapid]

@PhoenixSora9aOs3 certain bosses cast doom that kills you in a certain amount of time...and the curse is unbreakable...
