That way I could pause the game and not have to worry about anything coming up on me while I listened to it. I can always click the X if I don't want to, but most of the time I do I just don't want to be concerned about dying.

Have to bring this issue back. The commentary at times(quite often actually) Is terribly placed. It can start when you have just entered a new map, but you are being ambushed by a group of enemies too. It's kind of hard to concentrate on the commentary when you are trying to micromanage your 6 man party and half of the commentary is drowned in the battle noises. Being ablle to listen to them while paused would be ideal.

I agree, I like the commentary but lose a lot of it because of battles.  More attention should have been paid to where it was placed.

... you can just hit Escape key and the commentary will continue to play while game is paused.

Thank you very much that is good to know.
