FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 |OT| Change the Future
- Thread starter Kagari
- Start date
I bet the story DLC won't even have trophies. It's very much baby steps for Square-Enix and DLC.

If you have the gate seal, you can close it and rewatch the scenes. Though it starts the area over.
Blah. I accidentally quit the game while watching the story scenes after activating the gate in 4XX Academia. I guess it saved already and now I'm past the scenes, but I've no idea what happened in them. Sad.
Do you need us to fill you in or do you have an old save? Or maybe just look for a youtube video. I'm sure there's one up by now.
I don't have an old save. I guess I could try to find a video, although the odds of me getting spoiled on future events while trying to do that are pretty high.

He grows. I guess if you leave the battle going for long enough, he will? That's how you get the giant one in the beastairy. You have to wait for it to grow.

What I'm saying, he starts out small. on the steppe. You have to wait a few minutes before he grows. Maybe it grew, then he took a pic? I don't know then. ;/

Both have 99 Com/Rav
Medic/Sab for Serah and Sen/Syn for Noel are also both over 50. Serah was my SAB and Noel was the Syn.
The main reason I struggled was because I ran out of Wound Potions, so when the ultimate attack came round it was wiping out party members instead of just causing massive damage, because I couldn't fully heal.
I could probably beat it with my current team if I prepared more but I now feel like powering up some more and destroying it.
I'm sure someone in here who's finished the game will happily link you to the vid.

I don't know what the english one is called but the one that grows in the Japanese version is called 'The Sabotender' ... it's different from the normal one.
Doesn't The Sabotender evolve from a normal Sabotender?
After you activated the gate after collecting the gravitron cores?
Ahh yeah I think it does. But it takes a bit for it to happen. サボテンダーが戦闘中に進化
Yeah, it starts doing this cute little dance and suddenly, poof! It transforms into the bigger version.

I platinum'd XIII and XIII-2... XIII is definitely much harder, but some of the trophies in XIII-2 were stupid.
Post game ending stuff:
God, that secret ending was so pointless. What a waste of time. Worst "reward" ever.

One reason I did it. Is cause I spent over $100 on the CE game and CE guide. Not to mention the story DLC I will be buying. So I willed myself to get it.
Only one I really hated was the 10,000 casino coins one.

Chocobo one = fail
160 fragments... just the process of getting some of them was fail. Especially that coin. Fucking slot machine.
100 consecutive preemptives was annoying and tedious, but easy.
It was no problem, of course, but sometimes I like it when getting a platinum is in no way annoying. I'm a big FF fanboy so I had to get the XIII-2 platinum no matter what. Just like how I forced myself through the mental strain of getting the XIII platinum. I'm sure I'll do the same for Final Fantasy X HD.

The only trophy I really hated was the Paradigm Shift one, mainly because I have no clue how I didn't get it during the actual game (it was the last trophy I unlocked) because I was always shifting.
Still, after getting the Fragment Skill that speeds up the game, the few that I had left over were pathetically easy.

I didn't hate any of them because they were hard, just because they were time consuming. Though one of the fights was annoyingly hard.

Yeah, I'm the same. I think I'll finish the game and unlock/explore all the timelines at least but I'm not fragment hunting or any of that stuff.

Mine was Giant's Fist, before I knew what I was doing wrong.
I'm going for the fragments, especially now that I have the weapons with stats that are linked to the number of fragments you have. I've always been one to go for completism within games themselves, but stuff that isn't linked to in-game rewards is not interesting to me. Like riding a chocobo around for a long time, or getting a certain number of preemptive strikes, or any of that other stuff. No thank you.
To unlock all the timelines you're gonna have to do a lot of fragment hunting anyway.

D'awww, I didn't know there were weapons affected by fragments. Alright I'm doing that then. I'll use the strategy guide to ease the tedium though.

Holy shit there's a Jihl DLC coming?
Where did you find that!

Fake? Does that look like the Coliseum?

I want episode stuff, not Coliseum fights. ;/
Looks like the Coliseum to me... *sigh*

I don't even know who that is. Someone from XIII? I guess they're really going to milk the coliseum.
Not for $3.
Someone who was marketed as a villain from XIII, then

You're playing 13-2 without having played 13?
people don't make sense sometimes. D:
guess it's better than not playing it all.

I played it when it first came out (I actually only finished the last 2 chapters the other week) but I just don't remember that character D:
There's a lot I don't remember about the game though, maybe I should have replayed it before starting XIII-2.
The spoiler will be why I don't remember her I guess.
"mercilessly crushed" is a bit exagerrating. More like sneezed at. Breathed on? Sighed on. Yawned.
