I might end up doing so in january which is my old school month for games.
Just an FYI... You're going to get your ass kicked the first couple times you play. You'll make it an hour or two in before getting killed messily.
It's a semi-Roguelike, in that you're supposed to grind out the first couple hours of the game to get better skills, equipment, and party XP (which can be carried over to the next playthrough) before you start tackling the later stages of the game.
Three tips:
1) Don't use D-Dive or D-Dash unless you absolutely, positively have to once the game starts tracking the percentage. (you get a brief window where the powers are "free") Try boss fights a few times before using it for even a 1% or 2% gain, because later boss fights pretty much require a Ryu who can tank a 10% hit to his percentage.
2) The game is very much a SRPG in combat. Ryu is the tank, Nina lays traps and does AOE, and Lin is ranged DPS. Picking your positions and sticking to them will really, really help you maximize your combat potential.
3) At a certain mid-point of the game, during the Scrapyard, you'll get the opportunity to cheat the system a little bit and grind some Party XP without having to replay the opening segments of the game a million times. If you recognize this area yourself, great! Use it! If not, I'll happily give you the details for it.
