Been very busy (and sick) so I haven't had the chance to play much, but I've moved forward over the past few days.
I'm at about 29 hours, and I'm still working through the part where the party is split up. Just got to Sed with Seth and Tolten, but that part pissed me off...I know I only had to get to the center circle there (where Sed was), and I ran into TWO random battles against those six soldiers (3 Uhran, 3 Gohtzan) before I could get there. It's like 10 feet away!!! Second one almost finished me. Sooooo dumb.
But anyway, I'm hoping Sed becomes a party member, because Tolten's stats suck. Hell, Mack is better. Currently, I just took control of Cooke and Mack on the winter-y road there, where you have to push through the wind. It's cool that the enemies really can't hurt them, though.
Haven't had much difficulty in the past 10 hours or so. I think the last real challenging fight I had was against Sarah when she was possessed. Beyond that, nothing too tough, which is fine. Tons of storyline going on, so I'm going to relish the chance to run around and do some side-quests when I get the opportunity.
