Sorry to bother you again, but just to make sure about one thing: would that option only affect the announcer but not the actual battle quotes from the characters? There are a lot of confusion with different reports, so just double checking in case.

How do you like combat overall compared to the 1st game? It seems like a lot of the mechanics & combis have been dumbed down compared to XC1 &XCX. Or maybe im tripping?

Pleasantly surprised to here that you’re enjoying the English dub. Been hearing a lot of negative reactions toward the English voice acting as of late.

How's the battle mechanics so far in terms of setting up skill attacks? Does it feel draggy or intuitive?

Is a blade exclusive to the party member that uses the core crystal or can it be assigned to any of them?
