My party won't follow me around and they don't engage in combat unless I manually switch to them, which is all very annoying. it worked before, and I'm not sure what changed. I don't really use the tactics slots and I restored all controls to default.

Check underneath the character portraits. There is a little round button which is either a stick figure or a hand, depending on the mode you've activated. I'm guessing you have the hand mode on, which prevents party members from moving.

haha....

I have to constantly juggle this in battle because i'll be trying to move my charactors around to certain spots and then all of a sudden their "following" the selected charactors... so annoying!
