It doesn't really spoil anything, but still stupid to post of course.

thanks duckroll
I put this bad baby down for a bit but I'm now doing the stone missions at full speed. Wow, what a different kind of experience this turned out to be. Some of these are more difficult than the end boss :lol
65% of the missions 5-starred, I'm intent on doing the rest as well. Great fun. Sort of makes me wish they'd put a few "missions" in every chapter, of course it couldn't revolve around the C'ieth stone aspect and would need to be something else, but still, it kinda hurts the game it's all mostly optional post-game stuff and mostly clumped together in one streak. They definitely would've spiced up the other chapters as well and broken the pipe syndrome.

Probably at least 10-12 more hours. The final final two chapters have numerous lenghty regular enemy encounters.

I guess I failed to mention that. :lol
At least do up to 10. Doesn't take too long.
Or you can grind those 2 big guys fighting on your way out. I think it's a Behemoth and something else.

I didnt do any of the missions (apart from the three in the tower) and had an easy time getting through Chapter 11. The tunnel place was where I grinded at the start of the chapter but after that point on, the rest should have been easy (especially if you avoid those annoying Vampires and other creatures that take a long time to take down).
BeeDog said:~35 Adamantoises killed, 3 traps; got two in a row from the Eden turtle last night.
Oh man, I'm not liking those odds at all. I have a maxed out Connoisseur and Collector Catalog equipped on Vanille who ends up killing the bastards. Been about 10+ so far using death method, but nothing so far.....
I spent a couple hours trying to kill him the normal hard way and was able to do it with maxed stage 9 main class crysarium. I did it just to say I was able to do it, damn roar foiled my plans about 7+ times. Got nothing but it felt like an accomplisment :lol

The end game should be pretty easy for me. I just finished CH11 and have completed over 40 Mark. Al most maxed out all skills before moving on the Ch12. One thing I haven't done it take on one of those Adamantoises. Think I can take on on?

Since I have created ultimate weapons for my main party, the eden turtle does not give me ingots anymore, only traps all the time. WTF? Must be some weird coincidence.
I'm either getting no item at all or traps.
edit:
You definitely need maxed out Gaian Rings for your party. Strong weapons, high TP, strength+magic accessories and genji gloves do not hurt either.
Wouldn't really recommend taking them on before the last cristarium upgrade.
There is always the stupid death/summon method though.

Dude, that is like joking about X-Com turning into an FPS, or Bioshock becoming an MMO. I have learnt the lesson that they WILL hear you when you speak of these things.dramatis said:
Square Enix is just a mess of late... Dragon Quest VIII came out 4 years after VII but it had a real, open, streaming world map that was even too big for its own good, which makes me think that SE should probably just start farming their big games out to other devs (or the FFXI/XIV team) lest they continue making lackluster games that fail to justify the extensive wait we're forced through these days.dramatis said:
I'd probably play until you unlock chocobos, at least. That's around 14 missions, I think? Unless you want to just stop and abandon the game at this point, which is a viable option too.Xater said:

Uhhh, Id rather they focus on releasing KH3 and FFXIII Versus as fast as possible.

I don't even know why you'd be upset about this not coming to the PC. I understand that the PC RPG market is a little dry these days compared to the late 90s/early 00s heyday, but not only are PC RPGs a different breed of game altogether, pretty much all of the recent ones I've played (Gothic 3, Risen, The Witcher, even Dragon Age!) are superior to this game almost by default. I don't hate FFXIII with a fiery burning passion or anything, it's a decent game, but it's not like missing out on it would be a terrible loss for a platform's game library.
Man, people referring to Dysley as the Space Pope makes me wish that this game featured the Space Pope from Futurama. He would've been the best FF main villain since Kefka.

I've killed one without using death to prove to myself that it's possible. What a pain in the ass :lol

Yeah, this is a PC gamer thing that I don't get. Wouldn't you rather spend your money on a good game over a good-looking one? And I don't think anybody would want to play chapter 10 ever again, no matter how good you make those endless tunnels look.Dresden said:

Ah, that makes sense. It's just that my typical strategy is to wait ten years to pick up a game on PC because by then a) my computer will actually be able to run it, b) the fanbase may have had enough time to work through all the bugs via unofficial patches*, and last but not least c) it will look super ugly so I will be able to judge by other factors than how much of a graphics whore I feel like being that week.Dresden said:I wouldn't buy it, but someone certainly will, and spend a good amount of time producing the perfect screenshot.
See: the PC screenshot thread.

I'm using the Sazh strategy, and while you still need to summon, you can take him down in less than 2 minutes with mid-range equipment and with only the 9th Crystarium level cap. And there's no percentages involved like Death. It works every time.
You'll never even get touched, so Gaian rings are kind of pointless.
I run the Eden Adamantoise and with the Growth Egg, I'm pulling in ~125,000 CP every 5 minutes, using the soldiers to regen my TP. I've only got two Traps so far, but I've got nearly 20 ingots and when you combine that with the constant credit/incentive chips the soldiers drop, I'm rolling in gil. Only four more Traps to go...

Well, you forget that with a PC comes the ability to mod and hack.
Trainers would make the annoying parts palatable.
