Ok so I finally bought this and started playing this week. A couple of questions for those farther along.
1) Do I ever get to control more than one party member? If not do I at least get to a point where I get to pick my party?
2) Am I the only one that had trouble scoring decent during the early Sazh/Vanille sections. The robot soldiers took forever to kill without a tank.
3) Do they ever give you an idea of how the world is laid out. From what I understand Cocoon is an artificial planet created by the fal'cie that resides above another planet named pulse, and then there is Sanctum, which as I understand it is the flying city thing? A little clarification here would be good.
4) Do you ever get to go to Pulse?
So yeah, so far Hope is an annoying little bastard (as has been previously said, though I have gotten to the point that Lightning has told him he's an idiot) The person that did the voiceovers for Vanille is killing me, sometimes she sounds French, sometimes Australian, and the incessant giggling makes me wish the game allowed for friendly fire.
The battle system would be great except for a couple things, one there is no way to avoid AOE skills, battle loses a tactical element by not allowing you to move your characters around the battlefield during combat. Only controlling one character is annoying because if you have two people in a party with Eidolons you can't summon both (not that I have had two at this point and with the TP you can only bring in one anyway)...
So yeah, the paradigms are nice and its great to not have to personally spam heal.
Those are my thoughts thus far.
