Well.. the anxiety's long past. The game's much easier than I'd anticipated. Of course, that makes sense given that one of the complaints people had about FFTactics on the PlayStation was that it was too hard, and this one's specifically targeted at the generally more casual handheld market.
It's been a good time, though managing one's stable can e a challenge at times. Who do I send on that dispatch mission, how many second stringers do I put in to even out the team's experience?
I even managed to find a losing battle.. Too many second stringers in, and a "No Swords" law which kept out my fighter. Granted, I could have changed her to something else temporarily. The real problem was that my second string black mage does too little combat damage. He kept almost killing a pudding, after which the pudding would slink off by another character and cast an area lightning spell, zapping my guy and healing itself. Oh well.
Still having plenty of fun.

Ooh the performance anxiety. The game's reasonably addictive, and having it in handheld form has helped me actually log a few hours of time on it. I think I've got the basic hang of combat, but I can see things getting tough in the near future, especially with rival clans showing up to cause trouble.
From what I hear, this FFT game is less complex than the original PSX game, but I still feel like I'm lost at sea here. So many classes, and I have no idea what most of them do. So many abilities, so little knowledge. So a perfectionist like myself either spends a bunch of time reading FAQs on the net or shelling out $15+ for a hint book (assuming it's not already out of print). I really need to do something about that perfectionism. I'd enjoy a lot more games if I were more willing to just stumble my way along. Of course, maybe this tendency comes from playing too many adventure games with puzzles that make no sense. (Yes, Sam & Max, I'm talking to you and your wad of cash stuck in the mousehole in "Hit the Road"!)
