I don't usually buy game guides but I ended up getting the collector's edition. It's realllly pretty, plus I got a discount and I had some leftover money from trade-ins, so why not?
Initial reactions after playing the first two chapters of the game. I'll try to avoid spoilers.
-It's really damn pretty. Love the setting and the graphics.
-God I hate Vanille.
-I'm liking the battle system so far, but I don't like that if you want to run around and get random encounters to level up, you really can't. You can fight the enemies that you see, but none of them seem to respawn. Sucks since I usually try to grind early on in the game. Maybe once I get out of the lake?
-I hate Vanille.
- I was a fan of the sphere grid in FFX, and I'm a fan of the Cryatlarium or whatever it is. Pretty sweet. Also, the paradigms are cool, but why did they have to pick such weird names for the American version? Why couldn't we just stick to White Mage instead of Medic? It's kind of weird to get used to.
-I really hate Vanille. A lot.
-I loooooove the music so far, especially the strings in the battle theme. Remix anyone?
-Story so far is allright. Nothing has really amazed me yet.
