Played this for a couple hours last night, and so far I'm leaning towards this game being "garbage." There seem to be some good ideas here, but as a whole it feels like a mess. The combat system is very clunky and doesn't feel polished.
I never found it to be worth killing my guys - and since they're always charging in on someone, it's practically impossible to not take collateral damage.
Boo, Hiss.

Now that I can store more than 3 magics at a time, I've become accustomed to creating spells using all 99 resource points, then augmenting them with items to double the potency and chain 4 or 5 times. The last 4 bosses I fought, I hit them with magic when the battle began (and my dudes weren't all up in) and that completely destroyed them.
If the battle system were at all any fun, I'd feel bad cheesing out like that. But it isn't. So I don't.
Outside of XII, nobody plays Final Fantasy for the compelling battles. They're just there to kill time during breaks in the story.

My dude can take off 1000 at a time but I keep getting swarmed. Going to run out of potions before I figure out where the hell I'm supposed to be going.
We're of the same mind on your last sentence, although it could be for different reasons. I just think the stories and characters went to shit after IX. Part of the reason I'm not willing to crucify XV yet is because that doesn't seem to be the case this time around (so far).

I spammed my way through. Had no idea the generators were part of a different quest so I spent a long time running in circles trying to find the last one only to find I didnt need to find any of them.
Like someone (finch?) stated, the battle system can be fun when you're facing a single enemy. As soon as there's a crowd though it becomes a huge pain in the ass. Especially if you're in a wooded area. Camera loves to park itself behind a tree.
