Played em. The difference in the Tri-Ace games post-VP2 (and lets be honest, all around VP2 as well, bar maybe Radiata) is that EVERYONE is a goddamned embarrassing wreck. Here, she sticks out, and it just makes it worse. Especially paired with Sazh, whom I think is fantastic.
But you're right, Tri-Ace characters if you put it objectively, are probably the worst of all time lately. That and now they can't even make good dungeon hacks with fun combat anymore, IU and SO4 were so terrible. I really want to wait and see on that weird new gun toting game they're putting out.

So the stagger amount is related to the amount of damage you do? If I could stagger enemies faster then maybe I should start upgrading.LiK said:

Resonance of Fate is getting some good buzz around here but the Tri-Ace factor makes playing that game an absolutely terrifying prospect. Terrifying.Dresden said:

the characters have the same accent for a reason. So a British accent wouldn't really fit unless they were both British.
It is funny how odd Vanille's accent sounds considering it's done by a native Australian. I could understand if it was just an American trying to do an Australian accent while high on coke.

Fang's English VA is actually pretty good.
Most of the cast are pretty bearable, actually.

I really like all these optional cutscenes in Pulse. Even if they are pretty pointless, they're great for fleshing out the characters a bit more.
Lymle is the ONLY character in a JRPG (hell, any game really) that made me want to vomit every time she opened her mouth. There has never been one bit of dialogue in any game that made me cringe until I played Star Ocean 4. I'm apparently the target demographic for this animu bullshit and I still couldn't handle her :lol

Like some other posters, I don't see how you guys can actually hate characters. I mean, if they are to truly emulate real people, then they should have character flaws, and you're supposed to dislike those character flaws. But as far as being believable, it's painfully obvious that:
Hope is not "emo", he's angry. And justifiably, given the very beginning! I think because some sort of death is in every RPG we play at some point, we act like it's nothing and expect the characters to as well? Why shouldn't he be angry at the world?
Vanille clearly has information she is hiding, and puts on a happy face in order to mask a certain pain (roughly chapter 11 spoiler:
. You've never known anyone in real life to pretend they're happy so as to not let you know what their problems are?
Snow puts on false bravado for the same reason Vanille is cheery; if I was in his place, and stopped to consider where I was,
, and my subsequent actions that put other people in danger
I'd want to shoot myself. He's a person who realizes that unless he keeps this stupid "hero" thing going, he will give up on being able to accomplish anything. The fal'Cie are set up as god-like; how is he supposed to challenge a god?
So sure, each of them may deal with their problems in ways that come off as annoying, but real people are like that. So I can understand wanting the characters in the game to progress, and become better 'people'
, but to say that you hate them and it detracts from your experience of the game is silly.

she's directly responsible for Sazh's son, and was freaking Ragnarok a couple hundred years ago!

after losing my fiance to a force I couldn't stop
, or lead to their deaths...

at least the characters are far superior to the trash in FFX and the unnecessary boring part of the FFXII cast.

Who?
All I remember are the cast consisting of four adults.
I've been running around Gran Pulse for the past three hours, mostly farming CP off of this poor Behemoth King/giant white tiger warring couple. Now I can actually fight a Behemoth King toe-to-toe with little hassle. But good God, is this crystal board starting to get damn expensive. I've at least maxed out 2/3 of the main roles for my current party of Fang/Hope/Sazh (I'll get to the others later).
Is there really a need to grind for the other Paradigm roles outside of the main three at this point, or should I just go ahead and finish up the missions available here and go on with the story?

The 'H' stands for hentai.

You don't need to sell anything. By the time you need money, you'll have other ways of getting it. You only really need money for upgrading, and you don't really need to start upgrading till chapter
11. And then you have hunts at that point, from which you can get plenty of money

Since the search function isn't working, I can't search for the exact post, but does anyone have a link to the footage of the FF13 prototype on PS2? I can't remember if I saw that here or on another site.

Halp. I saved at both points but don't know which one to play. Is the only difference which sequence ends first?

I'm fairly sure there's only one option, and that option is to sleep and proceed to the Lightning section. Any other options will either lead to a dead end or a treasure box or something.Lion Heart said:

3 of which were just boring baggage for the real star. Balthier for life! Okay, that's all I'm saying about 12 in this thread.
Anyway, Pulse is way too big for me to be exploring it this late so I'm just gonna do it all day tomorrow. Seriously, anyone that complains about the game being too linear might even wish it would go back to that after getting lost in Pulse for a few hours.

No, I reloaded that save and went back, the elevators worked and I was continuing on, however, it might be a dead end like you said, with just a few paths but I didn't go far enough to see.

"....Whatever."
All I'm sayin'.
I want to ask this:
How do you use a Sentry in a non-suck way? Snow can queue up 4 attacks. If he queues up Provoke 4 times, he uses them all on the same enemy instead of 1 on each enemy, defeating the purpose of an aggro magnet tank. You can only pick 1 target after queuing up Provoke. Is there a way to spread it out across all enemies? If not, what a useless role.
