When I'm looking for a new game, I'm always tempted by the XC games, but when I watch the trailers and read reviews, the battle system looks so complex. If there was a demo version I'd give it a go to see for myself.

It ends up being complex, but it doesn't start that way.

These games are very long and the mechanics are slowly added in tutorialised fights spread out over the story.

In practice this means the battles are dead simple for the first ten hours of gameplay, you'll be 40 hours into the game and still get tutorials.
