I STILL have way too many games!

Well, 6 years after my last post and I still have too many game that I have yet to finish. This blog is to help me keep track of my progress on them! (Spoilers. Duh.)

How are you getting that home?

The party continued to walk along the crystallized sea until they found Serah's crystal stuck in place. After digging a bit everyone but snow decides that it's too dangerous to stay there and that they have to keep moving, but Snow leaves the arty to stay behind and dig. The rest of the group eventually find a jet after a boss battle, but after a dog fight cut scene they crash land in a deserted area. Hope and Lightning get separated from Sazh and Vanille and they from 2 separate parties.

Meanwhile the military has caught u with snow (who made no progress digging his fiancee out), and attack him. After the battle the brand on his arm glows and the game's version of a summon show up, as twin sisters of Shiva, and Snow has to battle them to earn the right to summon them. After the battle they transform into a motorcycle and disappear (weird), then some woman with a different brand on her arm show up with solders and takes Snow and Serah away.

The way the fights work in this game is odd and unlike other JRPGs. For the most part it's set that the actions are automatic and you mostly just control on the fly the strategy of the fighters to match the situation. So it's not so much picking the right moves like in most JRPGs but picking the right fighting style at the right times. While you can still pick the moves all manually you are scored by how fast you fight, so taking the time to select actions seems to be discouraged.
