scampywiak: Well, it'd still be fun to practice combat outside the story imo.
clunealdynia: I actually really agree too. I was just trying to have a bit of fun with you with my feeble attempt at some humor. (Did you lol or at least chuckle?). Anyway, I think that all RPG games should have an arena-like tutorial, at the least, for us to get used to the controls and the combat. And a true arena as you suggest with actual combat, not a text thing with words. Who has time to read words while you're being bitten in the arse by some beast and you don't know yet which friggin' keys to push to fight back.
It could be placed in the Options menu so it doesn't interrupt immersion and make it totally player choice whether they want to use it or not.
I learned that phrase they used recently it's like LOL. RTFM....I don't know if it actually helps but it's the excuse.
