This game is charming in many ways but what really annoys me is the AI (or whatever you want to call it) of your party. I'm in the glittering grotto fighting ice monsters so I set my party up to all have fire familiars. Of course Swaine and Esther go out of their way not to use the fire familiars or their fire attacks.
Even when I set too all attack they won't use the fire attacks. I want to get in and out of these battles I'm grinding in, but I spend longer because of my useless party. In fact most boss battles I just let Swaine and Esther die. I remember when I was at the fairyland there was a tentacle type monster and it released its babies, those daft morons would stand and let the babies surround them.
Really annoying. The music, environments, graphics, story are all fine but the gameplay really needed some work.
