Another thing to keep track of in combat, is something called the "Risk Meter" this is kind of like a fatigue meter you might come across in some other games. Once you acquire these, you can use them on yourself, and the spell attached to it can be used at any time. You can learn magic in the game by collecting items defeated enemies drop, known as "Grimoires". Your overall goal while in combat is to chain different attacks together and in doing so create large chain combos, to maximize the damage you inflict. While in an enemy encounter, any part of the opponent within this sphere can be targeted, allowing you to take down individual body parts to best suit your method of attack. Combat - The combat was rather interesting for an early title, upon pressing the O button a cage will surround your character. You should find yourself enjoying the experience as a whole. For anyone willing to take the time to read through the huge amount of text within the game as the story progresses, which I am sure many people are accustomed to already, with some other earlier RPG style titles. Though some people may find the lack of character interaction within the story rather dull, it doesn't take away anything from the game in my opinion. The story also offers puzzle solving opportunity's, and some interesting dialogue. Instead, the game focuses more on weapon modification and creation.
