You meant the poison? I found out the boss won't do AoE poison if you taunt it. Ended up doing 1 tank 1 heal 1 dps party makeup just like FF XIII.

The game tutorial is just terrible.

Indeed, the games tutorial and help menus do a terrible job of explaining the game mechanics. Can you actually set specific roles for a single party member instead of the entire party?

In FFXIII the paradigm system worked great because you could assign each party member a dedicated role like Tank, healer or Status Buffer. It seems like here you can only set the role for the entire party. I feel like the system in this game is like a lesser or nerfed version of XIII's.

no u can set roles for each unit and then have a general role for the entire party

Ill do a quick video explaning party setup and battle tactics

Each character at the start has two arts, they are roles. The crossdressing girl has AoE tank (earth) and single dps (fire), the eye patch guy has dps and heal while his sister has AoE buff and single dps.

I must be doing something wrong, tried in 'real time' and in 'round' mode, doesn't seem to matter its real time either way. Switch character and clicking all those menu just to heal a target takes so long by the time yer done with that its most likely dead. Dissapointing combat mechanic

The AI is kinda stupid, but if you put AI focus on heal and put the main dude on heal stance (which has heal, buff and dps) then you should be fine. Taunt with the cross-dressing girl and put Yue Qi on single target dps stance (water).

Once you got Ming Xiu you basically steamroll.

While the FFXIII is too smart the AI here is dumb and slow to fire off commands. I measured and there's always a delay between you manually control vs AI control when ATB bar is full. It's like AI doesn't know what to do.

i know your post here is like 4 years old, but is there any help you can give on the battle system please, i beat the first boss (with a lot of items used after a few attempts) but the second one, the flying squirrel is messing me up every time, i really like the look an style of the game, but it does a really bad job kinda explain the battle system, and even having my party set to prioritise healing doesnt seem to work too well. im playing on normal difficulty, should i be playing this on easy the first time, or is they maybe something simple im missing, i also cant even see how to turn the difficulty down without starting a new game, im not new to turn based combat or rpgs in general, an never had any problems with any others ive played

[MadDoggyca]

its been sooo long since I played Id would probably have to load the game from the start again....
