Once I got used to all the names, it got easier for me. I still just go by their shorter names though: COM, RAV, MED, SEN, SAB, and SYN. Just makes things easier for me.

I find it hard to figure out just which character I want to do what. Once you get further along in the story, you are able to have all your characters learn all the different roles. I really want team Fang, Hope, and Lightning to work, but I fear that I may have to substitute Hope out for one of the other characters. His HP is just too low.

Granted, I probably could upgrade some of those nifty accessories to get his HP up to snuff, and having him learn different roles could get it up there too, but the Chrystarium gets EXPENSIVE! At the point of the game where I'm at right now, I think it's more important to get the characters focused on the roles that they have been doing, rather than start them on another path.
