And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
OK WTF IS GOING ON? Final boss:
Edit - 5 stars :lol
I had problems with him and now I switched to a debuffer and on stagger I constantly hit 99999 each hit... from like 25k... does it really make such a difference?
Edit - 5 stars :lol

yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm not condoning it like a batshit insane Sonic fan or something, I'm just surprised at the amount of people shocked (feigning shock?) at the shittiness.BocoDragon said:

Fixed. At least Vanille sometimes says things that make sense, this guy is just a mentally deficient moron with a hero-complex. Every time he opens his mouth the game gets a million times more stupid. Remove Snow and the story wouldn't be half bad, yes I am blaming Snow for single-handedly ruining the story.

Finally had the time to sit down and start playing this game--I'm only at the part where Lightning, Sahz, Snow, Vanille and Hope are first entering the Pulse Fal'Cie--and I'm really enjoying the game thus far. I kind of wish that the depths of the play mechanics would be revealed a little quicker but I love the FF13 take on the Active Time Battle system, I'm eagerly awaiting the added layers of complexity.
Also, I like Vanille :x

This game is hard.
So, so hard...
FUCK!
So, so hard...
FUCK!
So you know what did the trick? I let Odin kill Hope 3 times and each time I phoenix downed him. Hit square with about 30 ticks left. What a stupid fight. I get it, Lightning needs friends and needs to learn what it means to really protect someone, I don't need some hackneyed contrived boss fight with retarded stipulations to drive the point home. Strike one FFXIII, strike one.

I agree
they set her up to be a hardass and make you hate her then poof, she's gone. Instead we get that other woman whose name I don't remember (the one that pilots the gunship when you escape the Palamecia). Also, I was really hoping for way more Rygdea, such a cool character design (I daresay better than most of the characters) and he's barely been in it.
Papercuts said:
I'm up to chapter 12, or maybe 13 and he's been paper thin throughout the entire game spouting the same two lines that either involve "protection" or "hero". "I'll protect her" "I'll protect cocoon, that's what heroes do" "I'll protect you" "We'll protect each other" "Heroes don't give up that easily!" "I'm a complete twunt"

ditto that, this is the first FF to have me on the game over screen 100's of times
So I hope I'm not setting myself up for any spoilers of any kind but I have to ask it. I just got to probably the half way point of Chapter 3 and the game is really kicking into gear. I love the whole level up system, but want to make sure before I spend too many points in one "class" or another. I will be able to max out each and every class for each character right?

eventually.. the higher tier skills/spells is very expensive
There's pretty much no depth to anyone in this game but the main six. Usually I don't mind this style, but this game is particularly heavy about it. Kinda unfortunate really.

Odin is a joke compared to the insanity that is later eidolons, in particular

How can you possibly think this? What is good about Snow's character? Or interesting? Or anything. He doesn't have a personality, just a few badly written, cringe-worthy lines repeated ad-nausea.

I think it's the accent and voice pitch... don't take my word for it, though, I've only played FF13 for about two hours even though I've had it since Wednesday. D:Red Scarlet said:Why's Vanille so hated? When she was first shown she was the NOMCHANinator, now whenever I browse any FF13 thread it's all vitriol about her. What characters is she comparable to?

I think it's Mitite or something. It's the only(?) item you can't synth in the upgrade screen.Lightning said:
Chapter 7 is soooo good. I really liked the violin version of one of the songs that plays near the end of it.
Also, this game REALLY reminds me of Xenosaga. The sci-fi world, the datalog, the character development cutscenes in dungeons...even the the launching ability
It was probably done on purpose to "focus" the plot but dicking around in towns and playing mini-games makes no sense with a story like this (just like in Xenosaga!) :lol

Started playing today and I must say I find the game pretty underwhelming and very disappointing so far. I'm still in chapter 3, so that's probably why, but the whole thing just seems unfinished. Especially when compared to XII's open world. In my 4 hours playing, all I did was run through huge narrow stretches, fight and watch cutscenes full of stupid childish lines of dialogue. Especially Snow's and Vanille's lines, geez. Is this game's demographic supposed to be the same as Kingdom Heart's?
I swear I almost fell asleep during the fal'cie dungeon (literally). At least the combat system seems cool, but all the uninterrupted dungeon crawling is boring the crap out of me. I was so hyped about this game, but now I don't know if it was worth the wait.

the character of Snow, in premises and arc, isn't totally awful.
he's let down by wretched dialogue, though

and also, like most of the cast, silly character design.

It might've been better if Snow didn't yell every line in ridiculous melodrama and have his voice break during every sentence. Hope in this scene = great. Snow = ear-rapingly, please-burn-it-from-my-memory bad.

I love snow, and its troy baker.. yuri from ToV.

But he doesn't have a great design; he has two (TWO!) popped collars, a lace bra, and he wears a beanie. Also, his gloves have zippers on them! His English voice actor is fine, though, which makes him tolerable in spite of the awful dialogue. At least from what I've seen out of the two seconds or so that I've actually played the game.lorddarkflare said:

I wouldn't say it's hard even though I've been KOed several times. It's just that even random monsters require specific strategies or you'll die/take forever to beat them. They really wanted folks using "Libra" :lol
In some ways, it's not as annoyingly hard as FF12 because ether/MP isn't an issue but I don't like how it's "game over" if the leader dies. That is seriously LAME and has made me have to redo one or two boss fights even though I was a few hits away from winning >_<
That said, the retry system should be standard in RPGs from now one. Really takes the tedium out of things

Seems like people are quite divided on the cast. FINAL FANTASY IS BACK!
Anyway, Pulse is way too big. I think I'm actually lost. If that arrow wasn't in the mini-map, I'd probably be wandering around for hours before getting back to the big central area.

Just beat it. Tears.
Sigh. I guess I'll try finding something else to hype now... for four years ;_;
But not because it was sad OR "so bad it's sad"... I think there's tears because this is the game I've lived to hype since TGS 2006. I remember it back then, my god I got so hyped.

I'm in chapter 11, and randomly started doing the plot after a couple of hunts. All the warp stones I've passed haven't been active, should I just start back tracking now (going to take like two hours to get back to the plains... :lol), or are there some lowbie ones farther up by wherever plot is taking me? Please tell me there are.

I like Snow a lot too, although he can grate at times. Still like Sazh best.
That's weird, it doesn't make me think of Xenosaga at all (which is good since Im not a fan of Xeno anything). Especially as you go, it still just makes me think of a tighter, oddball FFVI mixed with FFX.
It's still probably one of my favorites in the series though (thus far), but I'm easy to read, my FF favorites all include the job system (+IX and XII). Even though I grew up with the old school I really dont care about them anymore. The old school one I like best is the one we never got in the US (FFV). :lol
I got kind of annoyed in Nautalis though. Place is so stupidly pretty, and you wanna run around and do stuff and buy things Gold Saucer style, but you can't really do shit except talk to people. Pseudo town!
Really excited to see what comes out of XIV city wise, XI had some great cities even with some of its backwards design and for the time it came out in.
