Bu-bu-bu he did the designs for 7, and that's when the series changed.
Obviously Cloud's skyscraper hair had a direct effect on gameplay and writing right?

Use Cherub Crown for Death resistance.
Use a Sentinel to provoke Death away from party leader.
Use Veil to decrease the chance of Death.
Remove Debuffs to decrease the chance of Death.

If you're having trouble, and have leftover materials, upgrade your weapons. However, I suggest forking in Snow or Fang instead of Sazh so you can deal more damage faster. I'd say Sentinel is pretty useless for the second and third battles, start it off with a Com Sab Syn paradigm instead and get all buffed and debuffed before going all out.
Try more 'balanced' paradigmsthat is, paradigms that contain at least one element of attack and one buff/heal, so you can essentially deal damage while still maintaining health. Another thing I recommend is using Army of One to cheat balls once you get the boss to Stagger, build the gauge up to 999% and then use it again when the stagger is almost depleted to maintain stagger status until the attack ends (this allows your buddies to deal more damage).
You can finish him. After that, send it back.

I'm at Vanille's summon battle and I'm this close to snaping the Bluray in half and mailing it to SE.

The last boss has an instant kill move? All I remember is that sword attack that drops everyone to low HP.
Are your main jobs maxed? I had Lightning-Fang-Hope team and pretty much used Med-Sab-Syn to start til buffed, then Rav-Com-Rav til Stagger, then Com-Com-Rav for damage, switching to Med-Sen-Med when damage got heavy. This setup also allowed me to have to healers/revivers in case one died. The last boss never really made it hard at all, though.
Besides that, I had a maxed Helter-Skelter, Glaive and Eagletalon but no ultimate weapons.
I found getting to the last boss infinitely worse than the actual boss.

Sab/Sen while occasionally switching over to Med. Trust me, it works.

i dodged all the chapter 13 encounters with deciptirol. i actually founda cool little exploit where you could deciptoral past some enemies, engage them in battle from behind, then select retry so that you could keep your deceptirol but still pass them
cosmicblizzard said:
yup. if you have sab/sab as your start then switch to whatever else as needed it's even quicker.
WiaRS said:
yea seriously! they seem to fire them really fast too. What made matters worse for me was I had no AoE heals most of the time, so I had to spam potions.

I'll try that, thanks. Been doing rav/com and switching to med/sen and back with the occasional sab/sen to lower his defense. I've been so close but I always run out of time.cosmicblizzard said:
Edit: I tried it and it worked like a charm. It was almost too easy, actually. Thanks again.
Sequence, my darling baby, has been in development for almost two years now (oh my God, it's been that long?)...it's a rhythm-RPG hybrid. Think Puzzle Quest - Puzzle + Rhythm. Here's a little minute-long video with some footage a couple months old. (It looks shinier now.)Cep said:

I promise...PROMISE...it has better dialogue than FFXIII.

Yeah, I thought the second form was one of the coolest looking enemies I have fought in an RPG. Especially when he slams down on you with that sword thing and is yelling all kinds of nasty stuff at you. It was a very stressful fight for me. The song was pretty cool as well, but I didn't realize what it was a variation of until I listened to the OST. Great final battles.

so, lets see, im gunna throw a review in the bag too.
i bassically played this game with the intent to rush through it as quickly as possible and only go so far as a single playthrough. so the linearity was actually kind of ideal. the graphics were amazing, the battle music never got old, the cheese was thick but characters like sazh and some actually poignant lines here and there made things worth listening too. to me, finaly fantasy truly works on this tier of graphics, it's an experience just standing around rotating the camera a lot of the time.
and the battle system, though boring for the first 10 hours or so, felt pretty cool by the end of game.
as a fan of x, i was pleasantly surprised.

I asked this before, but I'm having a hard time with the advice given:
How should I be handling upgrading my gear? I'm in chapter 5, and I think it may be better to sell off my 5-10xp giving items to purchase ones that give 100-200 a pop. Is this correct?
The advice given to me was to not upgrade anything until chapter 11. I'm not trying to min/max here, I just don't want to screw myself by using up components if I'm not supposed to.

You won't screw yourself over, but you just won't get a lot out of upgrades at this point. I would say the only thing worth upgrading before 11 are the accessories that you use... and even then, you'll get better accessories from chests later in the game.
I upgraded the Belladonna Wand for Vanille and the Hawkeye for Hope. Don't upgrade any other weapons as the other characters get their best weapons later on and upgrading their current weapons is a waste of time, imo.FlyinJ said:
For Accessorys I upgraded both the Magicians Mark and Power Wristband straight away to boost my magic and strength respectively but didn't upgrade anything else until chapter 11 when you get a lot more freedom and accessorys that are actually worth upgrading.
That's what I did anyway.
