So just started chapter 9 and here's what I have to say:

The AI is fucking dumb when it comes to spellcaster classes. Just fucking dumb.

And at the same time it's dumb to make your party leader one of the main spellcasters because of their low hp values, but at the same time you can't stop them from doing dumb shit like casting thunder on monsters when they're weak to fire, or like the ra spells do slightly more chain gauge add on, but instead they'll cast 3 fires instead of a fira and a fire for like 2 more percentage points on the stagger meter. Fucking shitty AI ravagers.

Also synergist pisses me off in the same sense. For example Hope:

He had shell and protect. Well eventually he moved up and got barfire and barfrost(fire and ice resist of a pretty small percent), well I ran into a soldier who had a pretty crappy fire attack that did like 50 damage, well after being barfired it did 49 damage and Hope wouldn't do the one thing I needed him to which was cast protect because the soldiers rarely do the fire thing. But the entire battle he just stood there and cast barfire over and over. This has happened several times since and it almost makes the synergist useless if the enemy has an elemental attack. Seriously.

I mean it's not like the game is that hard anyway, but it would be nice if there had been an option for me push a button and make my AI cast a spell or something. Or that you could control the way they generally flowed (Like setting them to do the most damaging option.)
