Where do i get it? I think i heard its a mission but where is the stone for it?
K' Dash said:
I'm... pretty worried at this point. I'm going to flip if all of this Adamantoise grinding still isn't enough to take on the final missions (All but one of the roles for each character is completely maxed, ultimate weapons for my three main characters at level 100, 93, and 80 respectively).

Damn the boss of chapter 9 was a huuuuge jump in difficulty compared to everything before it. Whatever though, he dead.

I don't buy that bullshit. All of them knew
they were of danger to Cocoon, but none of them moped around half as much as Vanille did, and the only one who actively sought death was Sazhfor a different reason.
way as the right way, the positive way, running and running and just doing nothing, compared to Lightning and Fang who actually made decisions but get shafted because somehow Fang doesn't have the luck that Vanille does when the others break their "illusions" or Lightning is somehow wrong in wanting to take down the Sanctum. What a joke. Vanille only ends up so favorably because of the favoritism of the writer.

Man this game is harder than any ff i played before.. I get owned regulary not only by bosses but from normal mobs too. The battle is nice but this YOU MUST HAVE THE CORRECT COMBINATION of classes in order to win is retarted. I am at the end of chapter 12 and i am dragging my feet in order to finish this game. The story is unremarkable too be kind and it seems to go on forever and ever.. Graphics are top notch though and most characters are enjoyable (except Vanille what the hell is wrong with her voice? Is she whispering? Is she speaking sofly? Why is having an orgasm each time she does pretty much anything ?).

Peff said:It means it's the last mission, the hardest boss of the game and the stone is at the very end of chapter 11. So laughing is probably not the best reaction
Shit.
Are all the stones at the village B rank and A?
Skel said:
This is the best spot in the whole game as far as I know, but it only works until you are strong enough to kill them fast. Most people starting out in chapter 11 will just get raped, or struggle for a 4-5 minutes. Until you can kill them within 30 seconds, kill those birds.

Chapter 13 spoilers:
it just didn't seem like Square Enix had the guts to be clearer about it. I'd chalk it up to tasteful subtlety if it weren't for the fact that Square has the least subtle writers in all existence.
Orphan's cradle was so... pink, and the mobs there get ridiculously hard and time-consuming there. I think some of them were probably harder than the actual final boss (who was cheese) although I wouldn't know because I just used deceptisols to run past most of them. >_>
:lol No, I didn't miss that, or (ending spoilers people)7Th said:
their breakup scene, or the aforementioned hands-on reunion scene, or that the ending has them saving the world with the power of love (and Ragnarok, I guess that helps) and holding hands in crystal stasis for hundreds of years...
Naeblish said:
I've been using the Gladius as well with a high STR-build. It's okay if you use the Strike-skills out of the Ravager line (Sparkstrike etc.). In the end I probably want to build Lightning as a balanced character, though, so probably going to upgrade the Lionheart or Organyx.
Naeblish said:
Only way to force 2 commandos on one enemy is to have only 1 enemy
It's good though, for stronger opponents if you have high STR-chars (like Fang and Lightning in the start).momolicious

My friend is having trouble saving his save file on the ps3 onto a usb, Dont tell me ps3 doesnt allow you to move saves

PS3 saves are now locked due to trophy support.
Only way to transfer locked saves is through backup.
I still can't come even close to killing an adamantaimai to get a trape to upgrade to ultimate weapons. Fang has 2095 strength and 14,585 hp, light has 1530 str/magic and 12,205 hp, hope has 2159 magic and 11,255 hp. I can survive a stomp only to get raped by the second one. If I use the summon method I only take a quarter of its health and then die to stomps when he regains the legs.

You have got to be kidding me, they removed a convenience feature because of trophys?! what do you mean by backup, Is there any way my friend can move save from someone elses ps3 to another one?

Only got Mission 62 & 64 left now -_-
I think I'll leave them until I'm maxed out and have gotten some ultimate weapons.... yikes.

I think it would probably have to be only moveable for a game without trophys then.
However, if they signed in on their PS3 account on that PS3 and then signed in on their own PS3, I wonder if the save file wouldnt be locked for them if they were moving it?
dramatis said:
They were all being immature little kids, as I see it. I mean, everyone other Sazh. The one and only thing they wanted to accomplish was survival. Lightning said it best:
wanting to take down the Sanctum was just an excuse to keep herself alive.
Anyway,
only Vanille was aware that they were supposed to summon/become/channel/whatever Ragnarok until Barthandelous told them so and only Vanille had experienced firsthand, keeping her memories of the event, what Ragnarok actually was. I find it silly to blame her for being the only one afraid of becoming the bringer of the end of humanity because she was the only one that had been there to witness the end of humanity. If anything, her actions through the game were way too sensible and by all logic Vanille should be even more completely fucked-up and melodramaic.
I do think that Fang's
selective memory loss was pretty damn convenient and probably dragged the game a lot more than what was necessary. In fact, you can probably blame the first 9 or so Episodes on that!

WOO DOGGY !
Chapter 12 is ALL kinds of awesome :lol. God damn if only the entire game was paced like this.

Not only that but the episode Zero novel even further imply's things specifically when they say things like:
Youre the one who said wed always be together, forever! Fang cupped Vanilles face in her hands.
Well always be together...
Yes.
And we will go home together...
"Thats what we promised, remember?
Vanille placed her hands against Fangs, and nodded.
No, youre right... I...
They had promised so long ago. They would be alright as long as they were together. They would never be parted. It was a promise she never wished to break.

Seriously, it's just to obvious :lol
I'm not sure if this has been posted, but here's an interview with Ali Hillis, the voice of Lightning courtesy of Final Fantasy Union. Pretty cool interview. Apparently she didn't know she was voicing the "main" protagonist. :lol

Hmm, Fang actually becomes a pretty balanced Ravager...
Only makes the decision to make it a hassle to get into the extra roles even worse. I wanted to be able to do this as soon as I got the option, not until I could kill turtles 25 hours later. :/
You have anyone to cast buffs and another to heal at the same time? I've been fighting them straight on since Fang had about that much HP. Before the battle I equipped everyone with some stuff that helps to reduce the damage from Earth-based attacks, along with the usual stuff for more CP and items.
I use Fang, Sazh, and Hope. Hope heals, Sazh throws on a few buffs, and Fang throws debuffs on the legs. Then I switch so Fang can continue to use debuffs (builds up the gauge faster than other attacks), Sazh uses attack magic, and Hope heals. Switch so Fang can use Highwind, then repeat this for the other leg.
After it falls, use Fang to throw some debuffs on (Imperil, Deshell, and Deprotect mostly), then I switch so Fang can attack and the other two can use attack magic. Keep going until it's at about 950%, then I use Highwind.
Repeat the whole thing about two or three times and it's dead. I use Renew or a Phoenix Down if Hope gets killed off by its Roar attack.

They mention this as the first in the series, hopefully they get Fang's VO too. The interview was aweosme btw. Ali Hillis sounds really frank and awesome.
I've been in Gran Pulse in chapter 11 for a few hours now. I've completed about 10 different missions, and i'm still in the 3rd crystarium for all my characters. Also, i've barely lvl'd any of my gear (still have a lvl 2 gladius for light). Now, i've heard that the next boss in chapter 11 is really hard.
Should i try working on maxing out my crystarium (until the rest is opened up), before i continue?

There is a spot in Mah'Habara I like a little more. Between a Juggernaut and two Cyrohedrons, you can kill several sets of mobs. One group of 6 will give you 5.5k cp or so. Doing the short run, I can get just around 18k cp in less than 5 minutes. The mobs have a lot less hp than the Behemoth, so most of the time is spent on loading/spoil screens. You can also get quite a few bomb cores running this spot as well.burgerdog said:

Yeah man. Hell I personally kept leveling up the weapons (specifically Gladius) periodically through out the game and had it turned to the Helter Skelter by the time I reached pulse.
There's plenty of good spots to grind on Pulse to max out the Crystarium easily. I found grinding in the tunnel where
Vanille's eidolon fight happens

My tried and true method to every boss was Relentless Assault; Combat Clinic, and using RENEW. Also starting with Haste should be pretty much standard now. Any other Paradigms I found for me were just too slow

I'm still REALLY early in the game, but I've been wondering ever since they got branded. D:

Just finished the game. Such a promising opening that led to nothing spectacular. Lightning didn't even feel like the "main character." There were lots of moments that should have been emotional, but weren't. So, maybe the storytelling was bad. I dunno.

any general tips of levelling up in Pulse? any milestones?
like, 'it would be a good idea to max out the three main crystarium flower-things before POINT A', 'it would be good to upgrade item b' etc.
We've probably been over this a million times in this thread alone, but it's all been spoiler tagged so I haven't read it. :3

A great place to level up on pulse is once you get to Taejin's Tower, 5th Tier. You'll go to the 5th tier once, I believe, then go back down, then go back up on the other side. Anyways, there will be a save point on a U-shaped stairway. At the bottom are 5 Pulsework Gladiators. Using the barrier by them, you can easily get a pre-emptive on them. They will go down quickly if you have Thundaga and Thundara, and net you 8,000 CP. Go back up the stairs, back down, and repeat.
