Tried out the demo for Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. Not sure how I feel about the two combat systems, feels like I really don't want to go into turn-based mode because I'll take a lot of damage, but it also feels like the game really wants me to go into turn-based mode in order to deal damage. There's definitely a lot going on with its mechanics that I haven't scratched the surface of, but if I buy the game I don't know if I'll even make time for another long JRPG...
Also let myself get hooked on Dr. Mario 64 again. Bit rusty, but I managed to 1cc Hard. S-Hard is next.
That combat system sounds weird, but if they are using it for latest entries too, maybe they have put some thought into it.
Play the game on handheld, you can slowly chip away at it in small breaks.
The last two games (Daybreak 1/2) use the same system, and I used the "action" mode for two things:
Interesting mechanism. I really like when turn based games have a mechanic to easily kill weaker enemies, saves lots of times.
