Another problem with this game is the usage of Guardian Forces.
The GF do allow cool attribute upgrades and massive attack
value, but they take away the central part of any RPG that isn't
Ars Magica and that is Combat. There is honestly no reason for
Squall to own that big friggin' sword, because he is only going to
summon a monster to fight for him. You need the sword for a couple
levels and then it becomes a decoration on his person. This game
relies too much of GF to handle situations. Plus, you can't fast
forward the GF animations a single bit. Thus, you have to sit through
these things which were cool the first 5 times for a couple days of
gameplay. Just replay Breath of Fire 3 of Xenogears and be happy.
