neither. the action stops, and u choose what u wanna do. then it plays out. ur not fighting in real time. u can tell the characters what to do and then pretty much sit back and watch them do it. u dont even have to hold the controller to make them do damage.

its more of a strategic approach you have to detrime what is gonna work best on your opponent and equip the correct ring and use the correct attack etc.... its pretty sweet.

Exactly, that may sound boring, thats what I was afraid of, but it makes the game a lot harder especially when you fight bosses. As much as I love Oblivion, you cannot just keep taping the right trigger and the occasional L to block.

Also, the save points are pretty spread out so if you need to make sure to use your potions and what not wisely.

the save points being spread out really get annoying if you just "sit down to play for a few minutes at a time" if your down for hour+ of gamming at a time you hardly even notice the space between savepoints.

and like ANT said boss battles really get interesting because your mixed between trying to counter what the boss is going to do, and what you want to do to him. Like making decision with a character like "should I cast up all shield on the whole party, or fry his ass with Flara!" things like that

Yep that's pretty much the definition of old school RPG.

I def want to pick this one up. If you like this kind of game you will probably like Blue Dragon too (from what I hear).

This is exactly why I haven't played it too much recently, you can't just play it for a little while for several reasons.

Yesterday I was on for about a hour, enough for me since I didn't play it for a while and I couldn't get to a save point, I lost maybe 20 minutes I put in. I don't want to say where I got stuck because I don't want to ruin it. Lets just say I couldn't get a card key once you get off the ship from Saman.

DUDE! i just passed that part and plan on spending a good 2 hours when you wanna actually get past that part but once you do there is a save point right after....just a hint tho you'll need 2 key cards

[sizzflair]

the save points... yea.. If I have to go do something, I usually run back to my last save point lol.

It's about an hour per save point it seems like.

Anyway, answering the question about this game... if you like FF series (i know you haven't played it) or any old school RPG's... this is the game to get.

This game is brilliant.

K, then waiting for it to show up in Lithuania i hope it won't cost 4 times more than a normal game
