In other FFs selecting actions never felt like a chore but in FFXII it does. It's more of a movie than a game with the gambits. Somehow though it's my favourite game, I think due to the beginning when I actually controlled the characters. Then it got so complicated that the gambits started doing everything. Anyone else had this issue?
Yet another reason why I don't like this game, The story is enough of a chore to have the battles be boring as well. The things that can't happen automatically quickenings and summons are terrible so that's rarely an option
