I complained about the battle system a bunch on my backloggery, but overall I'm enjoying the game. It's another one of those things that seems like it doesn't have to be on the PS3, but just got put there for the heck of it. I mean, the hornets you face in the first area look 3D to me. You can see that kind of rendering in the background ever so slightly, but other than that I don't understand why this is PS3 stuff. There is still slowdown sometimes and this very much has a NamcoXCapcom/Chaos Wars feel to it. I don't even see what the point of rotating the camera is since you can't do it all the way. The menus are fairly convoluted, with a ridiculous example being that there are separate menus to arrange your items automatically and manually. Also, you can't check EX Skill data unless it's in the Arcane Tome from Branch Combos you've discovered, or in battle by pressing R2, then select, then the EX Skill button.
Though, I am overjoyed that Jedah appears to be in this game, if I'm seeing that silhouette correctly. B.B. Hood would have made me cast aside any misgivings about this game altogether.
I've been grinding needlessly at the start, since I'm really happy that I think I've finally gotten the basics of the system down now. Marie is crap (for now at least) so I hope that she gets cool magic after her stupid Uni (an urchin...really?) skill. Aurelia and Shurelia are a little crazy, but then again, I bet the boss will be really tricky to make up for that.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
