some of the missions are really satisfying to beat. I really liked 62,64,51 and 55.Braz the Mad said:
some of the boss fights in story were pretty good too.
I had the same problem.Zoe said:
equip the gold watch, use low level weapons and use shroud before the fight and don't waste time for buff/debuffi. starting with COM/COM/RAV should take care of the packs in one ATB bar.
you need to complete Mission 34 to unlock that area.Lightning said:
see this map
you need a chocobo to access this area.

So you grind and grind, killing endless monsters (kinda like CP grinding...) to unlock/be able to defeat optional fights (like XIII's missions... ) which help unlock unique items?Himuro said:
This is, of course, all stuff I know. I've played X fairly in-depth.
You're asking me to back up why X's endless grinding and slow-as-molasses battle systemmake it uninteresting like how you backed up your dislike of FFIX by saying it was nothing more than Muppets talking to each other? You're asking ME to back myself up when your arguments are nothing more than soundbytes carefully perused and plucked from various points of the Internet, much of which has been said before and better?

Magnus said:I have FFXII: International sitting right here, and not enough knowledge of Japanese to know wtf is going on in it.
Gotta play our version again to refamiliarize myself with it.
Fuck that.
Get HDloader and patch that shit.
You will never look back.

You don't have to read the datalog for major plot points. The chapters section is just a summarisation of what happens in the cutscenes. The rest is background information and enemy intel.Fimbulvetr said:
I don't get it. You ask Zephyr to explain why FFXIII is more interesting then FFX. Yet, after arguing XIII's 64 missions are basically the same as FFX's monster arena (it isn't), your conclusion is that ... FFX is far more rewarding?Himuro said:
FFXIII offers enough post-ending content to fill an extra 50 hours. This includes maxing characters, making ultimate weapons, acquiring unique equipment, extra areas and bosses, chocobo treasure digging. Plus it gives you a nice platinum trophy for doing all that.
So I return the ball. In what aspect was FFX far more rewarding?

Yeah. I'm still afraid to spawn them because I'm not sure how many plats I need... and going back to the turtle on Eden is just a bit of a pain.
It looks like I'll have to bite the bullet though. You need 6 adamantite and 5 dark matter to upgrade all the weapons. The 6 adamantite requires 1.3 mil already, so it's like I have to play for that expenditure as well.
God, this game is making me into an actuary or something. :lol
Finished the game last night. End Boss was crazy.
Then I upgraded my weapons like crazy (everyone had their weapons maxed out at star rank, not at the 3rd stadium tho, need 2ml gil for that :lol ) and I pwn him badly. Second stadium of the last boss was fucking easy, just one stagger :lol !
Now I'm doing marks, this game sucked me in but I don't know for how long it will last... I'm not willing to farm Gils/Trapezio/Dark Matters. I'll just do marks until the game starts getting hard then I'll probably put it away. Lately I have been interested in Resonance of Fate. Maybe I'll end up picking that
I tried first with no -30% Death accessories and I got pwnt at the end.

My turn to ask a question I guess. :lol
Do the Adamanchield turn into Shao Long Gui and the Adamantoise turn into the Long Gui?

Finally got platinum last night, ~96 hours
Last few trophies were kind of a bitch for me. I left Superstar and L'Cie Paragon for the end. I didn't have too much trouble 5* most of the missions, but mission 64 gave me all kinds of problems. Had to use about 3 different strategies before I found one that worked for me, and even then I had to use that strategy a couple of times to knock seconds off here and there.
Overall I fucking love this game. Only real minor complaints are with some of the post game bullshit like farming for ingots, but even that wasn't too bad. I can definitely see myself playing this again sometime soon, but for now bring on Resonance of Fate!

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?
You speak for me son! Even the whole "bring on Resonance of Fate" is accurate for me (I bought it, stupid 2 weeks delivery!).lljride said:Finally got platinum last night, ~96 hours

Did Mission 64 yesterday, what an intense fight. I nearly fucked up at the end and forgot to switch to Tortoise Paradigm when he did his mega-attack, but fortunately one member survived with 50hp, I never used Summon so fast

This. I got tired of the grinding, though, and decided to try to finish The Last Remnant instead. I'll most likely go back to ol' grind at some point, and yeah - I could see myself playing FFXIII again. It has its issues, but I still had a lot of fun with it.

Getting 5-star on Mission 64 all depends on if your de-buffs stick on not... totally random and so annoying.

Chapter 11 end-boss:
I have the game paused, awaiting GAF's advice.
Okay. So I just got his health past half way and he cast Doom on me? WTF. How am I supposed to beat him in such a short amount of time?
