I'm about to play this for the first time, is there anything I should be aware of before I start? The last "big" JRPG I've played was Tales of Vesperia, so anyone who's been through it will understand why I'm a bit reluctant to going in completely blind...
Just looking for some general tips, or possible missable stuff. Or "don't bother with Tiger! Tiger! if you suck too much at it, you can get everything it offers in NG+ anyway".
I'll watch the video posted above, but only after I've played it for an hour or two; if it's anything like XC2, it probably would be more confusing than anything otherwise. Speaking of which, if anyone has a good guide on XC2 combat... I had one bookmarked on my previous PC and can't find it anymore, will probably be useful after I'm done with this game in a year or two.
