Well back to the game itself... The more I play it, the less I enjoy it. There is just way, way, way too much fighting between story elements. Seriously walking miles across the world, making my way up to the top of some tower after figuring out some pretty straight forward elevator puzzles, finding the town we'd been looking for since hours and hours ago, battle after grueling 6+ minute battle, fighting those stupid motherfuckers who keep putting up anti physical damage immunity shields or whatever who take like 4-5 staggers to take down and just spam multicast of DD and debuff spells on my party, getting in to that town and finding a stupid busted robot only to have to crawl all over god knows where to find each part and I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN GIVEN A REASON to play this game aside from "omg we're gonna turn in to cie'th"
What
The
FUCK

I am not enjoying this part of the game at all.

I got most of my guys up to lvl 4 on their roles but it's still taking way too long to get through combat.

It doesn't help that the upgrade system in this game is convoluted as shit when it comes to weapons. The special materials you get don't tell you what they will work on upgrading to it's next tier. The base materials you can use to upgrade things feel ineffective and almost just make me want to not upgrade anything, especially when I'm faced with 2 outcomes

1. I find a better weapon, thus meaning I just wasted the crap out of a ton of resources over the last 30+ hours of gameply
2. I find a shit weapon, making me wonder if it would have been equiv or better had I used the materials on it instead.

To anyone who is further than me in this, does there, at any point, come a point where you WANT to find out what happens next? because I'm about ready to send this shit back to gamefly since, as much as I think i'd be "ok" with finding out the next part of the story, I'm really not finding it to be within my patience to fight these long drawn out unrewarding trash fights on the way there. Even the bosses feel unrewarding to me. Killing 2 fal'cie felt more like self defense than dealing out story driven justice. Hell, the 2nd one didn't even TALK or anything, it was just like "sup"

and he was easier to kill than some of the trash before him, like the big blue guardian thing "Tyrant" I skipped after he raped me anally 5 times. Or the pack of 3 vampires who after a certain point would just pretty much synch up and hit me with aeroga which took 70% of my life just from one, so 3 was obviously overkill, and they weren't even in the way or protecting anything, they were just kinda sitting there chilling.

Frustrating, my head wants to asplode.
