Big name, big game and big fan following...it's bound to be a game widely discussed!
As we seem to have a thread for most of the big games, I thought we may as well have one for this behemoth of a game - so if you have any ideas, favourite ways to play the game or just want to pass comment on what already appears to be a fantastic and absorbing game - please post here.

first off...I'm liking the combat system now - no definite turn based combat? Action seems to be constant even though you have to select your moves. Brilliant?

You should really have at least one Sentinal in your party, but that's your choice!
I understand what you are saying, they tried to get you to play everybody for a time so you are able to effectively judge who to pick. Although mine was a no brainer, as I dislike Snow and Shaz and Hope is a whiney little child.

I am in 2 minds over what i am going to do with my party.
I am thinking of Hope, Light and Sazh. But i ain't sure, when i have them all together i will check their roles and stats, then go from there. I actually quite like all the characters, an di think because you are forced to play as them, you do not leave anyone out and then dislike them...... make sense?

You're not too far off choosing them Emmie, another chapter to go yet. Where you end up next (I think) is the pre-cursor to getting them all together.
At the start of Chapter 10 after last night, up to stage 8 of the crystal training thing, 4-6000 CP per step isn't fun and is starting to slow me down :(
Still happy with my all-female line-up, for harder mobs I can run Light as a Medic with the other 2 Sabatour to quickly whack 4 or 5 debuffs on them to knock down quickly after switching back to RAV/COM/RAV

Managed to get some time over the weekend to play, but with my gf on lates all this week, i am hoping to push on a lot with it!
got to;
I do not think i am too far from Butch, but then i can't be sure. All my chracters are on lv2 roles and seems to be doing ok in Battles, still aint gone and battled more than is avaliable so i will probably need to later on.

So, after Friday night, I'm now on Chapter 9 (I think, maybe 8) and am now able to pick who I want in my party. I've gone for a Charlie's Angels-esque all-female line-up. Only cleared one room thus far but it seems to be going ok.
Our resident office FF expert informs me that, without a Synergist, I will be struggling later on though :(

Going for platinum now. Hopefully get some quality time in toinght, but feeling rough now. Got loads of the day in so far though, so I'm glad of that :)
Every fight is what I normally do, with a few extra perhaps. Didn't find too many spots where it was worth my time though.
The below doesn't need to be looked at unless you are quite later in the game

Yeah thats cool, thanks for the heads up!
My Characters seem to be strong enough, i have not gone grinding CP due to not finding a good area really, but I normally take every fight that is in an area so my characers should be just over par!

If you do most of the fights all the way to the next area, I found you normally have enough to level all the crystariums of choice for your chars.
So do this up until about Crystarium Stage 6/7 (where it starts getting substantial amounts) then focus on one main role for each char. If you have loads of CP kicking about use some for the secondary role, but make sure you keep a fairly healthy amount for a head start on your main role the next "Cryst level up" you get.
Hope that makes sense....

Another couple of hours last night, pushing on slowly but surely! Managing to keep all my characters up with the CP, they are all Lv2 in their roles at the moment, but i aint sure if i should be concentrating on 1 role or all. I know there is a trophy for fully upgrading all characters and so this inspired me to do it this way!
