I would have played it sooner, but I was on this huge Final Fantasy kick (which is still ongoing, to be honest). It stands in stark contrast to 1995’s Final Fantasy V, where it’s extremely exciting to play around with the classes. One last thing about the combat: it is very poorly balanced. Wish me luck.

The fantasy setting, unlike the modern combat setting of Puzzle Combat, is essential in tapping into this motivation. After carefully composing a balanced team of fighters, the player takes their party of stalwart heroes into battle. Instead, a balanced team of one her per faction is pretty much all a player needs.

So I think they got this balance right, even if I whine about it. But for a medium mob (4-6 enemies) in a cover-y arena you can just run in and safely slice up everyone.

Remember that the most famous magic item in all of fantasy, the One Ring of The Lord of the Rings, just starts the series in the pocket of a guy in town.
