Let's party!

Back to FF13 today and the party swapping is getting a little ridiculous.

First I start off with a party of Lightning and Hope, which is a little balanced since at least Lightning is good in a fight.

Then Lightning ditches Hope since he's a useless sad-sack and the game switches to Sazh and Vanille, which is a bit awkward since they are both more suited for support, so fights got a little dicey.

Then they meet back up with Hope and the party is balanced again sine between the 3 of them they have enough magic attack to put up a fight.

Then the party changes again when they all catch up with Lightning and Hope disappears into the 4th slot of the 3 person party. At least now the party is really balanced with Lighting attacking , Vanille doing support, and Sazh switching between the two, which is handy since I ran into the next boss battle.

At the end of the chapter the party splits right back to where it was at the start when Lightning decides the screw the whole "save the world" mission and just attack the being running the government and all the resources. Hope goes along with her since the "screw everything" plan will most likely give him a chance to kill Snow.

The game seems to be spoon feeding controls very slowly, only just today I unlocked the ability to upgrade weapons. I have no idea when I'll be able to pick my own party and the free roam section dosen't start for another 7 chapters.
