The battles re almost completely non-interactive.  Basically you're walking
around on the map (first or third person).  You move over and click on an
enemy and select "Fight".  Then you walk up within range of the enemy.  You
can move around during the fights but it doesn't mean anything in terms of
hit or miss.  I mean maybe if I could physically dodge it might be a little
better, as it is, you can just as easily stand there staring at the enemy
while your hero clobbers the monster.  Later you can learn and use magic,
which adds a bit of interacting but as it stands I don't have any real
useful battle spells on my character (White Magic Poison, Cure, Stone).
Also I kill things in like 3 hits anyway.

Meanwhile if you're lucky you'll lose like 5 HP in the whole fight, then you
can stop and heal anywhere on the map.  Granted however the battles may be a
bit more difficult if my friends who's been playing for a week hadn't bought
me some good armor.
