Really great game. I love RPGs, I haven't got far, got to the fire dungeon. I got a few questions about the battle system:

How do you switch the character who you are controlling?

What are status supplies? Apparently you can get them in towns.


How do you build up good combos? In the IGN review it says "Certain combinations of techs will result in powerful new moves -- which means that you're encourage to experiment with attacks (and there are a lot of combinations)"

Also, can you only do combos with the person you are controlling?

No spoilers please :)

I want to get hit too!!


Seriously though, its a great game. Fourty hours of gameplay minimum. Nice story, solid battle system, and the "skit" feature is rather class, even if its not voiced.

Plus it has Sheena. (y)

Yup this is nearly my favourite Gamecube game. Okay, what ya need to do to switch characters is go to the menu screen (the pause menu screen, not main menu) and scroll downwards to highlight the characters. To indicate that they are being used, there is a red flag next to them - anyway if you want to switch between the characters, just press A when highlighting them.

I forgot about status supplies, look on gamefaqs.

To bulid good combos, go to the Tech section on the menu screen (again, not main menu) and create the most convenient actions by making them easy to access whilst battling. Then, when battling, keep using your moves fluently and always point towards them and then upwards. Also, get good weaponary aswell, and customisation helps too.

You can do combos with everyone.
