yeah... better do that...
at least if you don't like it... you wont regret buying it... and yes, the battle system is not very attractive, but gambits are pretty cool tho... you can let your characters battling and go watch some tv... when you come back either you are dead or you leveled up 5 levels...
But you must configure well your gambits to not die...
And there is also the license board... you can only learn new abilities or wear new weapons if you have their licenses... this is the thing that I disliked the most on it...
