Phew! Scared me then as I've done mission 63. Luckily I skipped 62 to get my ultimate weapons so I guess that saved me.
Those things sound insane... are they the hardest enemy/boss in the game then?
4 more Adamantoises down, 0 drops.... ;_;
can anyone explain me WHY, WHY, WHY when I'm about to kill
he just casts DEATH on me and ACTUALLY KILLS ME???
Is there something I'm missing? I'm there kicking his ass, and he just casts DEATH and the end of the fight and THAT'S IT ?
FUCK THIS SHIT!!!!
20 MINUTES each FUCKING encounter, I don't have time for this....
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This caused me a whole night of retries and headaches.
The best thing you can do, if you're frustrated, is turn it off and try again later. Ultimately, it's down to luck. You can equip anti-death accessories to reduce the odds of it happening, but in the end... you just have to hope he targets someone else.
This single thing, though, ruined the end of the game for me. If they do an International version, they'd better allow for leader swapping in battle.

Because Gran Pulse is the only good part of the game? The only part where you are not watching some shitty cutscene every few fights and you get to free roam? I thought that's pretty much the consensus of people who are not blindly in love with the game.
It's just too bad that 50% of the post game has been reduced to turtle hunting instead of more interesting fights.

Fuck, my PS3 just died and I'm only 20 hours in. I want to know what happens next :lol
Anyway, I have a question for the people who finished the game (or at least have finished the 9th chapter). I don't want all the story to be spoiled but I'd like to know if I'm right about Vanille.

At first she is pretty annoying with her tiny scream and weird move, but I was wondering if that has something to do with the l'Cie status. From what I've understand, she's been a l'Cie for a pretty long time now, and she will soon turn into a Cie'th. I'm not sure, but I think I've read that being depressed makes the process of becoming a Cie'th faster (I think it was something that Fang said, but I'm not so sure). So, does she act overly positive like that to try and cheer herself and the other people and slowdown the process? Or is she just crazy?

I.... I......................... I................................... just can't believe this shit, this is something I would've expected on SNES RPG's, cheapness at it's best, but at this time and age, this is just bullshit.
I'll try a couple of time later... laaaaater, right now I'm RAGE.

Yeah it's almost like they went out of their way to make the map more annoying than useful.Amir0x said:

Every time I keep going back on my tracks because the map is all taunting me with its lack of logical design!
It's especially irritating since Gran Pulse is 99% tracking down marks which you have to look at the map to find if you want to even try to do it in a timely fashion :lol
Patch this Squeenix I bet it's easy

Is it just me or is the area in Chapter 10 basically a cut and paste HD version of the Lhusu mines from XII? I'm expecting bats to start attacking me any minute :/
I put off saying anything until now, because my emotions were conflicted, and "If you haven't got anything nice to say..." and all that jazz, but, I figure I'll toss my throwaway impression into the pool.
I went into FFXIII oblivious to the hype. I've been too busy with work to pay attention to any of it. I preordered the PS3 version, and my initial impression was that it was amazing. But then I played it for about ten hours over the course of a weekend, and slowly came to the opinion that it was the worst Final Fantasy game I had ever seen, wrapped in the best Final Fantasy graphics I had ever seen.
I was so disgusted with this game that I returned it to the store for a full refund (thanks for the free rental, EB/Gamestop). I never return or sell my games. I've only returned one game in 20 years, and I immediately regretted it. Congrats FFXIII! You're number two! But I won't regret you like I regretted number one, because I fully expect to buy you again off the clearance rack in a few months, because I'm an idiot like that.
My PS3 has become useless again, and I'm playing Tales of Vesperia to cheer myself up.

He get's explained if you do enough marks to meet him. He's a fal'Cie responsible for all life on Pulse. He loves natural selection.

I think gladius is 26. Most weapons are in the 21-26 range when they get maxed out.
KZObsessed said:
I would say they are the strongest by a far margin. The second strongest goes to the smaller ones that also get upgraded versions (the upgraded little ones have 10 mil HP and cast the same spells, only they're a little bit more prone to Ultima spamming). I was on my way to completing Mission 63 when I ran into what I thought was a normal version. Starting off with that Ultima really surprised me.
It actually made Mission 64 look quite lame in comparison.

You can do all of the trial missions without any repercussions, so you'll be fine with those.

Well the explanation is that you would turn into a Cie'th faster if you experience tremendous emotional shock. I believe that the process of her getting her Eidolon essentially explains her feelings. Good lukc on getting to play the story more

Wow, I didnt know this, I have it on 11 and thought I was a few from maxing it out, Im not sure if Im going to do this now.

Yeah you shouldn't do all the ci'eth stone circle missions until you're getting ready to plat the game or something. Before then, the only one worth doing really is the one where you get a genji glove. Mostly because doing so and having those guis pop up in place of the regular adamantoises kills the best way to farm gil. Guis don't drop platinum ingots, and farming the one outside
is a lot less efficient than killing the 4 on the steppe, then forcing a repop by abandoning/retaking one of the ci'eth stone circle missions.

I have maxed out all 3 starting jobs for all characters and fighting Adamantoise/Adamantortoise is still an epic battle. Battles that last over 10 minutes and sometimes end in death. I don't know what else I could be doing better. I put 4 debuffs on it when it's knocked down and I only manage to do like 30% of its health before it gets back up.

Is it worth it to kill these bastards?
They give good CP rewards (the ones with flowers give you something like 7,500 CP if you manage to kill one of them). The bog-standard ones are very easy and yield up about 4,000 CP.
Finished the game last night - final boss wasn't much of a problem,
I had two anti-death accessories on Lightning anyway, but used Fang as a Sentinel most of the way through just to draw enemy fire and no-one got insta-deathed anyway.

It would be nice if the map when you hit square always remained oriented with north up, or at least had a fucking arrow indicating which way was north. I guess in this world nobody has any cardinal directions, they just go whatever way they please. :lol

Quick question:
What kind of party are you guys using?
I figured before I could actually change my party I would use - Sent, Com, Med so Snow, Light, Van. But right when I could change I decided to try Sazh, Van, Light. This party RAPES. Yea they have terrible defense but I found that a medic with haste on is good enough to keep the party up. I'm in chapter 11 now just running around doing quests and I havent had any trouble at all so far with the exception of enemies that 1 shot me (behemoth kings using sunder and big stompy dudes). Lightning with haste and an elemental buff + Vanille debuffing is just amazingly powerful. And I figure battles would be going a lot slower with a Sent and without haste. Thoughts?

God I know what you mean. I've been seriously thinking of quitting the game, but I knew I was getting close to Gran Pulse, so I trudged on, forcing myself not to give in to the sheer boredom that are chapters 1-10. I finally made it to chapter 11 and dear God do I feel relieved. I seriously felt like I was stuck in a dank tunnel for hours on end and finally made it out of there alive. Now I have renewed strenght to finish it...maybe.Amir0x said:

Gran Pulse is fantastic.
I got there this morning, ran out onto the open plains...
...and was swooped down on by a giant bird and wiped in one hit.

Thrakier said:Tried that, but he's too hard...I don't want to grind.
You shouldn't have too.
As said, use Sent/Med/Med to survive his immediate flourish of attacks until you're all back in the green, then switch to Sent/Com/Rav to deal some damage, switching back to the initial Paradigm when your sentinal's health gets too low.
You practically can't lose if you use a sentinal for the whole battle.

I think I'm going to start calling FFXIII the "Trapped in the Closet" of gaming. There's just so much drama and you feel trapped until chapter 11!
