Now that we've had awhile to thinkt, is this games combat really that good?

I remember really enjoying it when it first released and I was about 10 hours into it, but now that I'm closer to 60 hours in, I feel like it just has the worst of real-time combat combined with the worst of turn-based.

It's the obvious weak point in the game, but it's not horrible or distracting from the story. It's just kind of flat, and teammate AI is plain dumb. I've seen worse, that's for sure.

Lol I'm going to assume you don't spend too much time here on the board, but don't worry more then enough people have agreed upon the fact that they hate the combat system, the AI and how they wish they could change it. Me personally I never really cared the combat system for this game. Way more other gripes that I have to complain about.

I definitely see why others dislike the combat, but I don't mind it, personally.

AI is dumb and AI settings are very weak also. I don't hate the combat though.

It has potential.


Had the block/evade command been streamlined and we where given more in-depth A.I. settings it would be pretty amazing.

I still enjoyed it though.

The combat is the worst thing in the game. The AI is awful, and never do what I would like them to. The bubbles around the familiars is also too big. They are constantly bumping into each other and getting stuck walking in place. What happens after you attack is also too random. Sometimes you get a good solid 4-5 attacks out of it, sometimes the familiar will just walk back and forth and then 'maybe' try to attack once. I hate the combat system.

The combat reminds me of FFXII, just less deep

Battle system has some issues...

Ex:

1.Monster dies you dont change targets automatically, you just waste it.
2. Enemies only have 1 sweet spot, so if your using a familiar that has low movement and attack speed, sometimes he has to walk around him until he finds a good spot to attack which wastes your time.
3. Cant cancel spells.
4. AI
