i'm currently annoyed how the game pushes you to be so reliant on auto attack due to things moving so fast

Huh? It doesn't do that though. If it's moving too fast for you, that's not the games fault. Go into the options and make the ATB slow and it won't be an issue at all for you.

I have it on normal speed and I haven't used auto-battle since the first 20 minutes of the game. That's there just to make the game easier. It's not fun at all.

 

[Crash Station]

Hecatonchires is still pummeling me after both girls got to 3500 hp.

Wtf.

Sabouteur and sentinel while occasionally switching over to medic. Shouldn't have to do anything else.

Edit: Beaten

 

[ElFly]

Saboteur with Vanille, Sentinel with Fang.

Doesn't work.

This. Never used auto battle unless...well if I knew I was just going to do attack x4 anyway. Just relax and think about what you want to do.

 

[ZeoVGM]

And I got my first tier 2 weapon! Upgraded the Galdius to Helter-skelter. I'm currently doing some CP/gil farming near the start of chapter 9. I might do this for a couple more hours actually. Definitely until everyone's Crystariums are maxed out and then maybe a little longer. Probably until I get Helter-skelter maxed out.

Where can I get the Trapezohedron to upgrade to Omega Weapon?

 

[Dresden]

Wait... you can make the ATB slow? :lol

 

[Crash Station]

Doesn't work.

What I did was start out the battle double sabouter then quickly switch over to sab/sen. At least Fang gets a few hits in even if she just stops doing stuff. Plus, you get an atb bonus if you do it right.

 

[Zzoram]

Wait... you can make the ATB slow? :lol

It's in the options, Slow or Normal are you only choices. Older FF games usually had a Wait option that would stop the enemy ATB if yours was full and you hadn't picked anything yet.

 

[Cloudy]

Is there a reason the PSICOM folks put people they're purging in those silly cloaks?

 

[Lightning]

Doesn't work.

Yes it does. That is what I did and it worked like a charm for me.

I'm going to try out Slow then. Can't believe I missed it.

That is the first thing I do when I get a FF game (since FF7) :lol

Yep. FFs have basically had that option since the 90's. :lol

You can also set what you want your cursor to default to: Auto-battle or Abilities.

Wait, so I've been pressing Down unnecessarily at the start of every battle, for the last twenty hours??? :lol

I need to check out the options.

 

[Kronotech]

Ch 6 so far. I'm actually enjoying the split storylines. Gives you more character depth and different interactions depending on who is with whom.

Not a fan of the overly poppy music throughout the entire game... eesh.

 

[hateradio]

Generally speaking, auto-battle is the way to go, except for when you only have one healer in a set.

If that's the case, I use Lightning as healer (and I control her). The game pretty much does itself except for a few kinks.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I would guess that it's a way of dehumanizing them. Take away being able to look into their faces and they just become a faceless group of 'acceptable losses'.

I don't know, that sounds too deep for Final Fantasy. The cloaks are there to make them look kawaii.

Look at Kingdom Hearts' gameplay and add some metrosexual characters to the story line.
Et voilà, Versus XIII.

Any gameplay vids? The CG looks epic but it just reeks of a letdown. KH is crap IMO so that's not promising :\

No.

Sab/sab doesn't work for me; Fang just stands there doing nothing.

 

[firehawk12]

Is there a upgrade guide or faq somewhere?

I'm trying to upgrade the Collector's Catalog/Good Choice to the Connoisseur's Catalog/Best Choice, but I have no idea what I need.

 

[Unknown One]

Doesn't work.

I just got through there. Sab for Vanille and spam pain or any debuffs while Fang lures it away from you. Heal Fang when she's dying and repeat.

I tried tons of method but this is the only one that worked.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Does setting it to slow effect the time target for battles? It must right?

 

[Unknown One]

It's the stone that cost 60,000 Gil in the store.

Nope just enemy speed. The time target can only be effected by the item Gold Watch which you get on one of the last missions.

 

[entremet]

Sab/Sen and Med/Sen. Make sure you've upgraded Vanille's ATB to one level. It's in the Med or Sab grid. I forget which. The extra ATB level will help you build up the Gestalt meter quicker.

 

[Voyevoda007]

so anyone knows any good place to farm gil in chapter 11?

 

[shwimpy]

Can't believe it took me 3 tries to finally figure out how to beat the Chapter 12 end boss... so easy...

Chapter 13 here I come... btw, do I have to beat the final boss before I can go back to Pulse to farm CP? I feel so underleveled since I haven't done any farming so far. I'm kinda surprised I'm this far into the game.

 

[Unknown One]

I don't know if it's good but it looks decent. I hope I can try it out tomorrow when I reach that area.

Basically 6000 gill a mission with the target monster right next to the mission.

 

[entremet]

Man, my right thumb is sore from pressing X. This is Final Fantasy all right. :lol

There are better enemies later, but yes, for anything during the game this is the best spot for gil/CP that I've come across.

 

[Mileena]

Just beat the game. 9/10 imo

there's a guide on gamefaqs:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=928790&topic=53894478

also another thread reads:

Here is the basic deal, each component will have either a claw or bolt beside it. The claw items will raise the exp bonus while the bolt items will give more exp but reset the bonus.

Use claw items until the bonus is 3x then blow a lot of bolt items to maximize the bonus. Using this system, you should be able to level your items quite a bit. I personally prefer upgrading weapons to accesories, but thats just personal preference...

You probably wont be able to instantly get an ultimate weapon or anything, but the stats on the ultimate weapon depend on which weapon you chose to upgrade, there is a list somewhere talking about what each individual weapon becomes but I cannot remember where that is...

 

[Kagari]

I really hate how much the CP cost skyrocketed... really hate it.

 

[entremet]

I really hate how much the CP cost skyrocketed... really hate it.

It's not the same as the Japanese version?

 

[Unknown One]

Where can i get me some of those?

Mission 7.

Before you start buy 3 of the lowest hp armors in the store. Keep beating the mission until you get a tetra crown or tetra tiara.

Save.

Dismantle all 3 of the armor you just bought, level up the crown or tiara and dismantle it. If you did it with Crown level it up and buy that 30,000 transforming stone to turn it into a sprint shoe. If you dismantled a tiara instead you don't need to but tiaras are rare as hell.

 

[Zzoram]

I really hate how much the CP cost skyrocketed... really hate it.

Is it just me or does the CP cost of lower tiers go up as the story progresses? I think I left some things locked at lower tiers and got them later, but they cost a lot more CP than I remember that tier costing.

 

[Castor Krieg]

For Gil - yes. Not for CP.

Spoiler

Next to mission 17 you have two mobs fighting. I can kill them in 9-10 seconds, they give 6600CP or 13 200 CP with Growth Egg. Next you run up and around the save point so they will respawn

 

[Unknown One]

You mean those 3 extra tiers? I think it's meant to be like that. I'm not even bothering adding CP to those. I got 400,000 waiting for Crystal level 9 tier. Possibly more by tomorrow.

Could you explain why you do that?

I also don't understand what you mean. If you get a Tetra Crown, you level it up THEN dismantle it? Why?

 

[Unknown One]

Because if you dismantle it before you level it up you get a shit item. Basically you guy 3 lowest armor and dismantle both, level up the tetra crown or tiara and then dismantle it to get the shoes.

I can't explain why but it works.

Item names are in Japanese, but it's no problem.

 

[thetrin]

As I said earlier in the thread, the process to get the shoes is fucking stupid as hell, but the shoes are invaluable after Chapter 11.

 

[Kagari]

I'm still playing the Japanese version.

 

[Unknown One]

It's not that hard though. Anybody going into the game blind will not find out about it though :lol

Yeah, I'm just looking for a guide that shows the materials need to catalyze a "star weapon".

Strange though - to get any of the good gear, you need Gil. To get Gil, you need good gear. How does this make sense? Damn chicken and the egg.
Other than mission 24 on Chapter 11, it seems like post chapter 9, you're kind of screwed on the Gil farms.

 

[Yoshichan]

So I did all hunts up until 30 which is where this guide ends:

Anyone got a link for the rest?

 

[Unknown One]

Btw you can upgrade items pretty well repeating Mission 7 because the reward for repeating is 5 bomb fragments and those give good exp for items. Get like 99 of them and with 3x you'll level up your weapon in no time.

My weapon helter skelter went from level 24 to 60 in 2 hours today and at no cost :lol
