Thanks, Kagari.
100 consecutive pre-emptive strikes. I'm grinding for it in the tunnel because the enemies there don't run after you. I had a good streak going on in the Bresha Ruins outside, but then an Uridimmu caught me and broke my streak, and I was a stupid and didn't save close to that point so couldn't reload. :/
All 100 must be done consecutively. If the timer runs out or an enemy touches you, the counter resets back to 0.

Do Bresha Ruins.
Seriously I was stuck on this for hours, just keep playing. There is more than 2 of those timelines for yaschas.
Essentially, you capture a mad frog, level it to 19 and then infuse a tonberry, nyaomao, moburinsenta, green chocobo, nekomata, and some others... then infuse mad frog into kichu... the names are probably way different in the English version though.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
So the watch is in another yaschas timeline that's not
10 and 1X
Not in English.

No. It's in 110 Yaschas.
Trust me, I was stuck on this forever. Even the CE guide describes this fragment very poorly. Not even on the map or anything.Holy....
I usually try for preemptive attacks anyway because you gotta love that haste! But 100 in a row is giving me flashbacks to lighting bolt dodging. Though sounds like we can save in the midst of a streak, so at least there's that.

I see. Dammit and I wasted all my Gyashl Greens. Maybe there's an unlimited Gyashl Green item in the game?
You guys could just keep moving on in the game rather than trying to 100% as early as possible
Taking my time to level too though, so might as well get a good chunk of the fragments.

I noticed chocolina doesn't sell em in every timeline. Just go back to bresha ruins 005 and buy em.
Played another houlf and a half, just left New Bodhum, done for the night. Additional thoughts:
-Anyone else think that flashback scene when you discover the knife was really well done? Serah's VA did an excellent job.
- Actually for that matter, both Serah and Noel have really good VAs.
- Please tell me someone else chose the triangle option for when Noel asks who Snow is!!! The option was something like "He's this really cool guy!" I was rolling, so funny! I always choose the funny responses.
For those who don't know, finding all the Live Triggers or a set amount in a area unlocks an accessory, and answering so many of the triggers with the funny responses (usually 4 or 5 out of 11 or more) unlocks a completely different accessory. CE guide rules, just like the FFXIII one, except I think it'll be much more useful for this game.

I can't even inflict any real damage on this damn Flan yet.
Noel is level 89 Com ~_~, any strategies?

Debuff it first, then break with a Com/Rav.

Hey GAF, should use some help. Some very minor spoilers (just in regards to area names), around the time you first visit The Void Beyond. Later part of Chapter 3, I believe:
I just got past the visit to the Archylte Steppe. Defeated the boss there, and went back to the Sunleth Waterscape. Defeated the boss there, and got the artifact to use the last gate there. That took me to the Void Beyond, which consisted of a pillar blocking the path and a portal of sorts. This just took me back to the Historia Crux, and the only thing it unlocked was an area called Locked Location - Year Unknown with a blocked gate.
From everything I've read, 2 areas should've unlocked by now, Academia and Serendipity, but I don't see either. Any tips? Thanks in advance.

Edit: They changed "Grand Cross" to "Paradox Scope"?! I liked "Grand Cross" better.
(Kidding. I know you can't get some fragments until you beat the game. Not really going to bother with all of them yet, tbh.)
I've heard that doing it on the Archlyte Steppe is the way to go, but I'd like to go into that place to enjoy it as opposed to grinding for stuff there.
Never!You guys could just keep moving on in the game rather than trying to 100% as early as possible

At least it's easier than lightning dodging if you're in the right place, lol! It gets so boring after a while, though. I've stopped keeping track, and I'm doing it in the hopes of the trophy popping sooner or later.

That god damn haste. It's gone from being useful to an infuriating cocktease. Haste, libra, summons. What are they going to take next out of FF?
HD towns? Oh wait...
Lame. I hate a lot of the English renames.

holy shit "Eclipse" is such an amazing track and combined with where it plays, at least where it first plays is incredibly atmospheric.

I just want libra back. It's fair enough to not to put it in the game but they still insist on using libra points. Where I can watch numbers come in and deduce, yeah, that fucker is vulnerable to lightning my monster will sit there herp de fucking derping away with Fire and Blizzard.
Then maybe towards the end of the second fight the libra screen fills up with shit I worked out five seconds into the first fight.

So about 6 hours in. Just met
I must not be very good if the rest of you say the game is easy. Sure most of the enemies along the way can be defeated in under a minuter, but isnt that usually the case with random battles?.
Anyways, story is getting really good. And yes, Noel is super likable.
Hope in the Seer ruins. But damn, the mini boss fight before him was difficult. Took me about 4 tries to get him, until I added a third commando monster into my party for after I had staggered him.

Got the game, stuck it in my shelf next to FFXIII still in its wrapper. Ah, feels good. Probably not going to play it for a long long time.

Early game is all about boosting stats as much as possible. Strategy is limited because you don't have access to a lot of roles or abilities. Buy your best possible weapons because there's no silly upgrade system this time around. Get your chosen MED and RAV monsters up to second tier and infuse them with as many stray abilities as you can lay your hands on. Get Pulse Knights up to level 20 (which is pretty cheap and trivial using Chocolina mats) and infuse HP +25% to those monsters.
Just go in there with as big numbers as you possibly can. The battles become much easier and you can spend most of your time just flicking between Relentless Assault and Diversity instead of having to Delta Attack or Solidarity.

This will teach you sons of bitches to never take haste for granted ever again.
