Well easy enough that you can beat them if your only midway through the game?

I'm not sure about this one, but they are certainly way easier than Yomi and that Oerba Cie'th

my stats:
two human characters: all roles Lv. 99
a fully leveled (Lv.45) golden chocobo (only used power item)
a fully leveled RAV (Lv.70) slime (not even a blue chocobo)..
a fully leveled SEN (Lv. 40) regular monster (don't know the English name..not the silver chocobo)..

They should've done something like this long time ago. I was honestly disappointed when I never had the opportunity to fight an opposing side where they used Paradigm Shifts. XIII could've used Yaag, Jill, and some random person for an awesome Paradigm Shifting Boss Fight. Meh, w/e.

Cid in XIII
kinda did a paradigm shifty thing.
 

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.
If you are able to catch Lightning, tell us if she can wear any adornments. :D

Do the rare monsters spawn anywhere in a zone? I'm wondering if I have to be in a certain spot in order to get them in the random battle rotation.

Jesus Christ. Is the game more supposed to be easy or is it just easy to get obscenely overleveled?

Just completed Augusta Tower 200 AF and just steamrolled
Proto Fal'Cie
and every other enemy in under a minute. But between that and Academia, these areas have been major fucking drags. You don't even get an option to run away from most fights as they are either on platforms that you cannot even get to before time runs out or they spawn right in front of your face on narrow platforms.

I think the last dungeon had some hard battles. Beware of the proto behemoths.
 
It's Lightning, it's only $3, I don't see how it isn't worth it. You'll probably be able to access the coliseum in all the story DLC, too, and fight her and be able to use her in that DLC. So in the Lightning story DLC you could have a party with two Lightnings. So worth it.

Honestly, I don't get why you guys are giving the Lightning DLC a bad rap. Ok cool, its nice to act like a high class gamer who refuses to give into the man, but come on guys its 4fucking dollars. Most of us spend more than twice that amount a day on food. The attacks on StunandStab are completely unwarranted, this is Neogaf not gamefaqs.

It's the principle of the matter!!!

So? I want to use my favorite FFXIII character. So what if its overpriced, its not like 4 dollars will set you back greatly. The annoying part is that i'm pretty sure a bunch guys will buckle and buy the DLC anyway.

I didn't know about the role bonuses, oh la la.

I still don't see the point in poison, though. If it's going to take x amount of turns to succeed and he's going to heal it off at least every minute anyway, wouldn't one just be better using an attacking role instead of a synergist?

I switched in a COM and it didn't really make a difference. His HP is just so absurdly high that poison will always outdamage what Cerberus can bring to the table (especially since you're given basically no time to stagger him).

My monster is the commando and Serah the Sab.

Let's say it takes 2 turns of full ATB to successfully get poison to hit successfully. When I tried that, he would barrier maybe 15 seconds later and poison would be gone. It seems like those 2 full gauges would be doing more damage (after taking his healing into account) than the poison would have.

Maybe I was just getting unlucky with how many times he was healing.

I don't think I'll be buying any DLC for this game. I don't even know why they put that card table in Serendipity if they weren't even going to include it in the final game. The story DLC has to be pretty damn good for me to buy it. Otherwise I'd be just as content watching youtube videos of the cutscenes.

The way they're handling the DLC doesn't deserve to be supported, imo. It'll only reenforce a decision for them to do it in the future, as if what other publishers are doing isn't bad enough.
 
Why.

Just.

Why.

And 500,000 people will buy it.

I'm going to punch a pillow for about an hour now.

I don't see the problem with this... the final boss of the game took less than 5 minutes. It would be a problem if it lasted 40 seconds, but 5 minutes sounds like a pretty good fight

Oh for fuck's sake.

I didn't want to move on with the story and I went out of my way to go to
AF 300 Bresha Ruins
thinking there would be powerful enemies there and some more side-questing to do.

And instead, all I get are crappy enemies I faced hours ago and a Purple Chocobo.

On one hand, I definitely agree, I felt ill to my stomach when I realized they were going to add future scenarios (via DLC)

but there's nothing we can do about it, most developers are falling in this rut of releasing partially complete games and locking game content via DLC. Its not like we can "Row Row fight da power either."

Did the fight again. This time I tried to fight Amoda first when he jumped in. It was harder (first time I fought Lightning first).He can shift to a SEN with Lightning as a SYN, buffing him a lot. And even they used SEN/MED. Lightning was a pretty good MED too.

To be honest I want the DLC to be kinda easy so that I can get them halfway through the game and actually use them as monsters throughout the game. That, to me, would be worth 3 euro.

So this DLC content doesn't come with any costumes? And no separate costumes have been put up? I'm loving the game, but at the rate I'm going, I'll have the platinum by the weekend, and I'll probably shelf the game for a long time. Seems dumb to not have put up the costumes to coincide with the game's release, that would make too much sense, eh SE? I would have almost certainly bought Noel's Ezio costume and that Serah summoner one looked pretty cool. Actually, wasn't that one Serah costume supposed to be free? The one that won the voting contest? Whatever happened to that, I wonder.

Finally got the Serendipitous Trophy. I earned 5k from the casino, quit and slept, then earned 5k from the racing. I can assure it's accumulative now.
