Do you get to play as the Avatar- I mean Agito?
Holy shit...
Same here, I'm always super confused when I see it pop up but nothing happens.
Aria... Sure she never talked until 5 minutes before her death if you triggered that cutscene, but damn.

They're special Orders from Mother.
Completing them gives buffs or really good items. Red cards especially.
Hit the touchpad and it should open up a window to accept or refuse an SO. I think that is what is they are called, away from my console right now.
Thanks. I figured it was something to do with the SO missions but I must have skipped the instructions. I opened the menu and everything but didn't think of touchpad
Edit: Now that I'm doing them it's pretty easy. Don't get hit, survive, don't use magic etc. But do you get anything useful out of them in terms of rewards? Because all I'm doing now is wasting 30 swconds to a few minutes standing around after enemies are dead.

The camera is God damn awful!!!!
Your problem is more than likely you are not dodging what you are supposed to, not that you are underleveled. Is chapter 3 the boss that sends the robots that explode on you? If so stand at the back of the room and blow them up with a ranged guy and make sure you are hitting the weak points that appear. I am half way through chapter 7 and have been super underlevled all game and it's been pretty easy, you just cant face tank some attacks from the harder eniemes, you HAVE to dodge or its more or less a insta kill.
depends on the SO. Some give ridiculously good items.
Cool. I take it just do the hard ones for the better items and ignore the easy ones?
The game wants you to be constantly holding r1, not manually adjusting. If you are in town i agree with you, but if you arnt holding r1 in combat and switching targets with the right stick you are putting yourself at a disadvantage.
It depends. Red SOs and ones during mini bosses/ bosses tend to give out sweet stuff, but even regular so can give stuff.
A bunch of items at the end of the mission

I'm having a hard time with the targeting and lock on system. Just can't seem to get the hang of it. Died multiple times because my character wouldn't unlock from a dead enemy and I was shelled by tanks or whatever.
Also, some streamer the other day said that you can't summon without killing one of your characters, yet, the NPCs told me certain summons don't require a sacrifice?
He also, at the time of supposedly beating the final boss live on air, said he had clocked around 8 hours. Howlongtobeat says it's a 30 hour+ game. Who do I believe?

Ehh, it's probably 8 hours if you run straight through the plot on easy without doing any side content. I'm at 12 hours and only on chapter 4, playing in Officer (normal) mode.
If you are skipping everything in the game but the main story missions 8 hours seems perfectly believable but most people don't play games like that. 25-35 seems like a average play-through.I think im at 22 hours with 1.5 chapters to go.

I didn't like the game during Chapter 1-3 and then Chapter 4 started...... Wow.
The game definitely picks its pace from Chapter 4.

Having issues with a Task in Chapter 2. The Task "Mad about Ms. Tokimiya" I'm supposed to have Rem meet this Enra guy. I go to Rem in the Class Zero room, but it's like she doesn't recognize I have the quest or something and just gives her normal lines. Can't figure out how to complete this
Only in Chapter 2 and really enjoying it so far. Finally got a nice break now for the weekend so I'm definitely gonna be playing this alot. Really like the battles so far and the school is amazing with the music and it actually feeling like a classic Final Fantasy town with tons of people to talk to. Been playing on Officer and the game has been super easy so far, everything dies pretty quickly, hoping it gets a bit more difficult.

I kind of like what I have played so far. I am only in chapter 2 maybe 3. I loved Duscae.. I am debating taking this back to BestBuy, while they are having the 30% trade bonus.
I hate decisions like this, I think I could be into this game pretty good but Bloodborne is next week.

Played the first 90 minutes and while I enjoy the gameplay I have no idea WTF is going on with this story. All I know is that a Chocobo got killed and I died inside irl =\
I'm listening... I wouldn't be against it at least for this chapter.

I missed out on this quest as well and didn't realize until later that we can actually swtich the active character during Akademeia visit. This also results in new scenes and is required for some of the sidequests.Having issues with a Task in Chapter 2. The Task "Mad about Ms. Tokimiya" I'm supposed to have Rem meet this Enra guy.

You just need to switch to Rem.
Well this is definitely an "OH SHIIIIIT" realization moment lol.
Of all the things I've tried for the last hour or so, and I didn't even think of the second most obvious thing. -____-
Thanks for the help!

I have no clue how to play her, but I always have Deuce in my party. Having her happily playing the flute standing over a pile of corpses at the end of a random battle is hilarious.
Terrible? I got mine without any dents or anything from Amazon.

I know this has been mentioned, but goddamn this camera is making me dizzy. I can stand just plain ol' terrible, but the motion blur is stupid as hell.
mint condition actually.
Make sure and read all the lore entries in the library if you care about the story. It helps explain a lot of what is going on and got me up to speed fairly quick.
It starts out a bit crazy with terms, but things start to make sense, especially if you talk to a lot of the people sitting around and in towns.
Spoilered if for whatever reason someone doesn't want the opening story explained to them:
Basically there are 4 different countries, all with their own crystal. Class Zero exists in Rebrum. Their crystal is referred to as the vermillion bird, or Suzaku (sp?). The empire (white tiger crystal) broke an ancient pact and is now attacking Rebrum (and Concordia, I believe). They deploy something called a crystal jammer to interfere with Rebrum's crystal. That means the cadets and military can't use magic... except Class Zero. For some reason unknown to us at this point in the game, they CAN use magic even with the crystal jammer in place. Class Zero basically beats back the empire a bit, and that's where the game starts off. You do a few missions beating them back in various cities that they had just captured. Also, L'Cie are basically demigods straight up controlled by the crystal to complete some sort of focus (just fancy word for "shit the crystal wants 'em to do").
This games difficulty balancing is shit and exactly what I feared would happen. It's always either a.) too easy or b.) too hard with 1 hit kills. Why can't there be a section in the middle so i'm not bored and that I don't watch my retarded AI partners die in 1 shot every time.

So... do the initial squad members you bring in to battle still get xp if you leave the NPC helper guys on? I want to grind SPP, but not if it steals their XP.

Is there any way to run away from a battle on the world map? I ran into a Behemoth on my way to Togarath in Chapter 2 and I got totally wrecked.
Awesome, just did this one time for each character. It works on xbox one as well.
Playing this is just making me want to play Crisis Core again.
The setting is reasonably interesting, the rest is kind of meh.
I'm half way through, so I'm not expecting a huge improvement by the end, we'll see.
I believe you need to use a Teleport Stone for the world map encounters, I have found a couple as random drops so hopefully you have as well.

Game came in from Gamefly in so it promptly got shoved in and started up. I'm just to the 2nd main mission so quick first impressions.
First thing I wanted to check out was the camera and have to say it's not nearly as bad as I had heard. Atleast for me. While the camera does move fast I figured out that the camera while in town and running around missions actually follows behind you so no real reason to spin it yourself unless looking at something. The camera in battle is not bad at all and looks pretty awesome when you are locked on. Which I am 100% of the time.
The battle system seems pretty good so far. The moves list is pretty barren but i will chalk that up to being brand new and haven't acquired many skills yet for the characters. But from what I've seen so far it is pretty solid.
Music is as always good. Like this rendition of the Prelude that plays in town.
Oh and this game has an overworld map and random battles! Love that.
So far so good. Can't wait to dive in more

Just take the hit on your 3 party characters. Don't replace them once they die and the monsters will run away.
If you go talk to the big save crystals, one of the options (I think the first one) will let you change your active character.
Go to a save point/crystal and then select assignment. You can pick the lead character from there.
Edit: beaten
Thanks!
