22 hours later...

Not much story progression today, just lots and lots of fighting.

After both parties went though a ton of battles, they finally met up with each other, and for the first time since the crystal sea all 6 party members are together! Also for the very first time the option to customize your party is finally available, just 22 hours into the game. Though since the team of Lightning/Fang/Hope is working so well I may just keep that. Alternatively I could swap Fang for Sazh, giving me 2 commanders, 3 ravagers, 2 healers, 1 saboteur, and one assist.

So now that they are all together it's off to topple the government!
