strange--I think you might enjoy the battle system. Skies of Arcadia is not terribly difficult, and the system itself is rather intuitive. The boss battles and air ship battle do require a bit of strategy for more effective attacks. That is something I like about the spirit point system in this game, it keeps you from overwhelming your enemy in one turn with all of your special attacks. Instead, you likely have one character providing backup with healing or shield spells, another might be used bring up spirit points, and the last guy will be one you assign a special attack to. If you like that kind of fighting, then I think Skies will be good buy or rental.
