right

Think ive done chapter 1 or half of it? I took your advice and did the Arena until i got to 1 - * (star) which was the highest i could go. Have also had 2 of my guys swap machine gun and pistols so that both were a bit skilled in both weapons. I have Vash just doing pistols and Throwing weapons.
So anyway i continued with the story and was in some deserted town where i fought monsters in every area with no break - including my first boss fight. Which i won ofc

I like using the tri-star moves a lot looks pretty cool.
Some things...
i REALLY like the fact that whatever clothes you buy are in the CUT SCENES!

so you can dress em up weird and they are in custscenes which looks rather spiffing indeed!
Dont like
In that first town/dungeon you can only equip before you go in... pressing triangle did nothing whilst in these "fight areas" so it meant that if i ran out of grenades or healing then i was scuppered unless i left the entire fight area and re-equipped another set of nades or healing. Of course when i go back in most enemies respawn so you have to fight through all the areas again to get back to the bit where you stopped.
Dont like that you dont really get close battles....e.g. why cant i continue to fight if one of my guys is taken down? I've won a few fights when i was in critical condition but that was because the enemy was almost dead anyway. Doesnt seem right that you cant fight on if only 1 of the party is incapacitated.
Anyway won every fight so far no problem at all

Fight combaat mechanics are good but you need to be ninja fast to click at the right time and i just press buttons and trust to luck

Working soo far
My complaint about the story is that the characters themselves are interesting/amusing enough, but there's no real interaction between them. It's almost a enigma as to why they're all living together
"
so very realistic then

in life sometimes people tend to "fall into" jobs or with a crowd of people. There is no big meaningful reason why.
