Don't try to 100% a time period the first time through. It's not possible most of the time.

Why? It's one of the best monster allies in the game.
Because it's ugly! I'm just that shallow.
Also Academia is pretty annoying. The enemies are non stop but the battle duration times are 4 seconds long. It takes longer to enter and exit the battle!

Yeah. What was it... 10 seconds or something to refresh? This is something you really had to pay attention to in FFXIII's postgame, though. I'm not surprised people haven't really tinkered with it. Especially syncing characters' attack animations! I had to pay attention to that all the time when I fought the Guis since Sazh's casting animations were slower than how quickly the girls could attack.
Also, I really like MasterLL's video for it. Shows it off properly.
I think it's funny that I've seen people just let the ATB gauge fill up completely even though the monster just needs one hit to die. :lolkayos90 said:
I like that they've made Noel more of a jerk in this version.
Did they really rename Kichu to Chichu? @_@
But I'm more familiar with "Ki" than "Chi" in terms of power. Plus "Kichu" is more salient than the alliteration of "Chichu".

i have a question that might sound dumb... since the pulse knight is a sentinel does that mean he won't attack at all? just kinda unsure how monster roles work and why he'd have attack stats if he doesn't attack.
Yeah, it was in FF13 too.

oooh okay, was just wondering since they gave him that attack stat.

Sorry guys, I thought you all were talking about literally ATB cancelling, lol
As for what ATB cancelling actually seems to refer to, yeah, I agree that it was probably a glitch. A very handy glitch. I'm glad I'm still able to do it in this game

You just have to make the whole area light up on the map.
Be careful about places with multiple floors.

LOL, if I had the opportunity, I'd ask about all of these changes. Some of them are just nonsensical to me.Daddy Bear
Chichu?! I understand alliteration, but... I'm more familiar with 'ki' than 'chi', but that's because I'm more familiar with Japanese than traditional/simplified Chinese. Renaming it 'Qichu" would have been understandable if they wanted to use "chi".
Edit: As for anyone looking for an English version of the strong Kichu build, please refer to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBLx8hyNCQM

Fuck it, i'm renting it.
Good to see i'm not the only one. I pick stuff on games based on how cool or good they look.

wow just wow.
I've made my first
and this game actually feels like a final fantasy.
For the first time since X, I'm actually playing a game that I can call a final fantasy. FFXII was awesome, one of the best games I've ever played, but it didn't have that final fantasy feel like IV,V,VI,VII, IX and X for me.

Man, I went to the second version of Bresha Ruins and got completely decimated. I guess I'll come back there after going to some other places first.
I'm definitely impressed with how much freedom there is in terms of choosing where to go in this game. It's pretty much the complete opposite of XIII in that regard.

Well, just received my Futureshop copy in the mail (FS wouldn't let me cancel my order ).
Now I have two copies of XIII-2, one SE and one CE... I've opened the SE and can't return it... I could return the CE, but it's so nice... I want to keep it

There's more than one of everything.
it doesn't matter that much. Monsters will make up for it
Hmmm after some thinking actually i think i should restart the game though, while it's still kinda early, 11 hours and I'm in Academia (4XX AF) already.
Thanks for the opinion though!!!
Where do u get it?

Almost every location you go to exists in more than one timeline.
(stop trying to 100% everything so soon)
It's in the Steppe once you get the special mog throw ability.
I'm there and I have it. What do I have to do?

Is there actually a comprehensive list of differences soundtrack wise between the Eastern and Western versions online anywhere yet?

or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Realize This Assgrab is Delicious
Think it's pretty much just "Invisible Invaders" losing its vocals from the Japanese version (both normal and "aggressive mix"), as well as the Charice Song "New World" replacing "Yakusoku no Basho" by Mai Fukui (they feature a similar melody, though)
.... As far as I've heard so far.

I really wish there were a way to know which worlds might still have Wild Artefacts available in them without having to resort to the Internet.

Oh my gosh. You can actually do this! Okay, for people who are still doing Clock Stopper, listen up:
Find a group of nonagressive enemies. Get the preemptive strike, and then when the party members cut the enemies, pause and select Retry. And keep doing this until the trophy/achievement pops. It's the same enemies over and over, and the enemies automatically appear after you start controlling your leader after you select retry, letting you PE them.
I'm such an idiot! Why didn't I think about that before!
Edit: I am now looking for someone to make a second confirmation for this. Someone volunteer to be my guinea pig!

Academia 400 AF is annoying. Stuff that take 3secs to burn thru, but no gil or points that's worth fighting. :\
Oh yeah, that clouldburst is awesome as hell. His Feral Link abalitie is like he buffs your party with all the buffs.
....and yeah, that clock puzzles were annoying as hell too. Glad thats over.

So I know folks have been saying this game is really easy, but is it easy enough that you can play through it in any fashion you like? Eg. completely screwing up the Crystarium, using weak monsters, etc? Because I really just wanna run through the world carefree without looking up guides or FAQs all the time.
Also, is there anything permanently missable?

You can pretty much do whatever but the last boss will kick your ass hard even if you did it right.

Just saw the commercial on G4. Pretty good. Shows off CG, gameplay. Could've found a better song for it though.
