Crystal missions are replayable as much as you want, which can be useful. You probably won't be able to finish anything above a Rank B before beating the last boss, but some of them are definitely fun to try (and there's no penalty for failing).

While the plot certainly moves fast, the setup of the dungeons/corridors makes it feel drawn-out. I think this is because you implicitly know you are shooting for a cutscene at the end of the hall.
I know I'm not making much sense right now. I blame it being past my bedtime.

Seems like most of the lines that appeared in the few English trailers have been re-recorded.
Such as when Lightning says "Yeah, right in there.", or when Vanille says "we got em??"

If I never hear the word "linear" again it will be too soon.

That sounds good, I like the characters to have defined roles rather than the jack of all trades that some of the previous games had. FF9 had it bang on.
I just did the opening, onto the next section which appears not to be consist of one straight path ... considering asking for a refund.
Definite FFX vibes here, which isn't a bad thing really in my book.
Kinda sad...I'm really in the middle with this game after 10 hours. I don't love it or hate it...it's just there. I wish you could also pause in-between switching the paradigm.
To be honest, I actually like Lost Odyssey a ton more than what I've experienced thus far, even with Cooke and Mack.

This is the sphere grid, 90% of FF10.
Notice how that is all basically one path?
Thing with the sphere grid is at the moment it does feel like it was more complex/ challenging to get the max stats through it.
There was the collecting the different types of spheres, getting the different levels of sphere's, getting the clear spheres and deleting all the small bonuses and replacing them with the better one's, I felt pretty happy with my self when I deleted all of the sphere grid and replaced it all to get max stats.
The crystal system has none of this from what I have seen, instantly makes it 100 times simpler and feels like there's no strategy to it other than just ignoring certain abilities and pumping the points into stat boosts, seriosuly does it get any better?

Okay, i'm really trying to like it but honestly am struggling. Too automated, too much going on at once are my main gripes. It's like i'm changing costumes rather than fighting baddies. I'm about 10 hours in and i'm gonna stick with it and give it a fair crack but i don't think it will get much better for me. I wasn't a massive fan of 12 but i prefer that over this, at least i felt like had more sway over my characters.
Oh, and btw, the above is MY opinion, not fact. I'm glad so many of y'all are loving it. I wish i was too.

Just refills your TP from what I have seen in the game so far.
Anyone else feel like magic damage is pretty shitty near the end of disc 2/start of disc 3? Seems like Ravenger just sucks in terms of damage to Commander, and yet I need it for chains. 
Doing sub 200 dmg with magic(vs normal) when my Lightning(character) can do 1200(vs normal) with "Attack" is annoying and sad. This is with Strength = Magic in stats.

Either the enemy is resistant to magic or to element your Ravager is casting. Try to apply debuffs to trigger elemental weaknesses.

Only played it for about 2-3 hours but it's quite fun when you get the battle system.
Worldwide total FFXIII shipment reaches 5 million units.

I think it affects the drops you get. I vaguely recall the game saying you could get more items with high Battle Scores.kyo_daikun said:

when does it get more complex? i'm only about 60 to 90 minutes in. i'm guessing there's still more that has yet to be explained about the battle system, but so far it seems you generally just press X to attack and trigger chains. occasionally go to use an item, and if you want, you can use one of the abilities that hit multiple units in an area.

The same store I bought it for 40 was charging 50 hours later...
2.5ish hours in, quite enjoying it. Obviously battles have been really simplistic so far, but it is quite a sight to behold.

I find a lot of the time, I just watch my party leader's HP bar while mashing X. When it gets below half, I'll paradigm shift to get my Medic, then shift back to Com/Rav/Rav and keep mashing X.
I hate how I can't even watch the battle and enjoy the animations because the health bar is so thin and hard to see that I have to stare at it to make sure I don't accidentally die. Also, because the TP bar is laying against the HP bar sometimes I mistake it for my HP while doing a quick glance.

So far FF13 >>> FF12.

To me FF13 is kind of a mesh of FF12 and FFX. Linearity of FFX and evolution of the gambit system of FF12.

I sure hate Hope. Talk about being a whiny little bitch. Vanilla has more balls then he does.
