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?

Mild spoilers related to your question. Game play ones, anyway.

Finally got to the upgrade system, but a quick question!
With a couple of characters, like Snow i have maxed out all his Lv1 stats, how do i upgrade to getting level 2?? Also do you know if Medic learn any attack options??
Is it possible to change your party early on??

I've noticed that, but I am enjoying getting used to the battle system and trying to figure out the story. As well as gawping at the graphics (and Vanille reminds me of a girl I had a crush on - it's like a pink-haired version of her... and the fact she seems to be have a slight narrative role, I think she is more important than the game is currently letting on)
And thanks moto for the heads about the upgrading system. Can't wait for it to kick in. I'm only 2 hours in at the moment! Early start for me tomorrow then, so I can dive into the story!

The slightly worrying thing i am reading is that the first like 10-13 hours are like the start where you have to run down a path and fight a few enemies, your not given any freedom..... might be an issue but i am sure it will be fine.
Loving the graphics, just keen to get home tonight and play some more lol

Probably about 3/4 hours in, or if you skip all the cut-scenes, probably about 10 minutes (jokes).
Not sure whether they build up in the battles before in all honesty :(. Doesn't take long to max out the crystalium for each character to start off with.

Cool, how long does it take to get that and does all the previous battles you have been in count towards when you can start to gain new abilities etc?
Just wondering if it is worth any extra fights before getting to that point!

I think the rating and scores build up your technique gauge and also add up to the amount of crystalium points that you get.
You guys probably haven't go to it yet but improving skills is similar (if not exactly the same) as FF10, its kinda hard to describe, but if you wait you'll see what I mean. Theres an option that will be added to the main menu for improving skills called 'crystalium'.
