So, combat.
I grok the gist of it. I was actually quite surprised and very pleased at the inclusion of combat at all. I am a MMO player and have been mostly sunk into FFXIV for the last few years, so having to dodge out of pools of lava constantly is ingrained in my fingertips.
It's awkward (well, more awkward at the start but getting less so with time) because I'm playing using an emulator on PC and my keyboard/cursor keeps drifting out of the bounding window so suddenly I stop moving and shooting (no bueno) but I'm getting better at swinging the view around.
I've been mostly using the staff (does that LOOK like a "wand" to you?) as I really like the skills it has (heals are good too) but I'm fine with the guns as needed. I would LIKE to be better at the claymore but I read up on it and it seems fairly hard to learn to do well with and I don't have the patience or skill right now to be better at melee-range dodging. the regular sword seems kinda lackluster for "whee!" factor but I might be missing something.
- so level the cards, but don't waste resources on a 3 star unless you have to.
- matching card color to fight color is THE primary thing
- pay attention to which boy has which color cards, see point above
- there aren't enough resources, concentrate Chiclet, don't spend frivolously
- dodging is your best friend. dodge often, if not well
- protocores have sub-stats. this is murky. which stat goes well with which guy? which protocores can you crush into powder to feed the equipped one without making a large mistake?
I probably have more questions but I have to leave work again.
