I have not played very much of it! But I have played it approximately 13 more hours than you, so I feel like I can say that while it took me a long time to get used to the battle system, I like it much better now. Although it feels like I'm in even less control, but at least I get to change party leaders so I don't have to see stupid Vaan and his stupid woman run!
NOT EVERYONE WHO HAS A BRITISH ACCENT IS EVIL! You just haven't met any of the cool characters yet.
GOD I HATE VAAN SO MUCH. PLUCKY ORPHAN SYNDROME, STAB STAB STAB. Er. I mean. Haha! Vaan. Man. It's definitely not just because of genderswap, it's one of the first things I noticed about him. Other than his horribly annoying voice!
Giza rabbits! I had the same reaction. Except, um, then I ran around attacking them to get good prizes. But I felt really badly about it.
I think I read somewhere -- possibly it was a VG Cats comic -- that the battle system was like peeing on your enemies. And now I can't stop picturing that with those funny lines going everywhere.
I like to think that the Rogue Tomato is actually another plucky orphan who dressed up as a tomato -- did you see the stitches it had on it?! CLEARLY IT IS A COSTUME -- who wanted to steal goods to get money to live, and that Vaan just went and killed it. ...I mostly think this because I hate Vaan. I'm a terrible person.
It occurs to me that most my reply is full of negative things, which is odd, because so far, I really like the game. It gets much, much better once you get some more people in your party. And you're right, it is so very pretty. And I actually really like the magic system! I use magic so much more here than with other Final Fantasies because your MP goes up as you walk around, so I'm not afraid to waste it. Hooray!
