Hope's VA is quite fine, the character sucks so far for me, but the voice work is pretty solid.
Vanille falls into an archetype where it's impossible to have good voice work. She's fetish material for a very particular group of people and nothing more.
There is a very significant difference in fun, positive attitudes and even ditzy behavior, which is fine in doses, and the all senses aggravation assault Vanille is.

Okay, I'm about 9 hours into this... Do the regular enemies ever take any strategy or do I just push "X" till I get to the bosses and then work on strategy? I've already started skipping some of the Day 11 part of the story/cut scenes... At this point, I've only felt like I've played the game 2 times. Odin, and the boss Lightning and Hope fight at the end of their stage... The rest of the time I'm just pushing "X" and up on my controller =/
And the CP, I am maxed out... I kind of wish I had less so I had to make tough decisions... as it is, you get enough to fill up all the way just after a few fights.
I don't know. I'll keep pushing through.

I'm only at ch 7 but
the toughest normal enemy counter I've seen so far are the two Aerial Snipers and a Falco Velocycle near the end of Chapter 7.. an encounter that made me use all 6 paradigms in one battle.. not even the boss fights so far have done that. Other than that the entire game has been an autoattack snoozefest thusfar.

this sh1t is getting really difficult really fast lol. im at chapter 10 and the last couple chapters have been rough. that
chapter 10 boss(I believe)took me like 30 min :lol
8 hours in.
I have a question about weapon/accessory upgrading. I am just randomly putting shit together and hoping I get a exp bonus. Is it just guesswork or am I missing something? For example should I just burn all my chipped fangs into upgrading some random starting weapon, or do what I'm doing now which is throwing one of everything into the pot until it gains enough to level?

I hope the same people that hate Vanille are the same people that hate Rikku and Selphie.

Ah, thanks. This being the case, why is it that I have leftover CP and nothing to use them on in the case of Snow (I'm only 2.5 hours in)? I've already completed all of the paradigm tree or w/e it's called for him, unless I'm tripping. I figure more will be available once I level up, but apparently you don't level up numerically if I'm reading your response right.
diss said:
I think there's supposed to be natural materials and synthetic materials? (What are they called in the English version?) You dump a bunch of natural materials onto your weapon/accessory to gain EXP bonus, then you stack as much of a synthetic material onto the EXP bonus-ed weapon/accessory as you can.
Yes, that's basically it. It'll go up to a star-level item, and then you can evolve it using an Item Change material.

you need them to upgrade your weaponsabombb said:
I'm about 12 hours in, or so? And I have yet to upgrade anything. I think I still have like 5000 gil, but I never really need to buy anything from the shop anyway so...
Yeah, I think I just won't bother with upgrading for a while. The Crystalwhichamacallit has been enough to keep pace with the baddies.

The battle theme is too catchy
I haven't gotten to the part where you can upgrade weapons yet, but what's the general recommendation there? Which weapons are best to stick with and upgrade? So far I've only found one alternative weapon for each character, like the Gladius for Lightning.
Not sure if I should be upgrading weapons I get very early on or wait for something better, since I don't have a good grasp yet as to what pace the game doles out new weapons and armor.

alright, the characters are beginning to grow on me. i like how we're learning more and more about them piece by piece Lost-style.
btw, why is this game so easy? this is definitely a noob-friendly game. the only guys who killed me were those damn Bomb self-destructs. gawd, i can't believe Bombs made it into this game...should've expected it. glad i could retry, another new feature.

I'm so glad most of the chapters are focusing on the Lightning+Hope and Sazh+Vanille pairs instead of Snow. :/
Hope's getting better. Now he's managed to climb out of the pit of hate Snow and Vanille are in and reach "meh" level with Lightning and Fang.
Sazh is still the best.
Kinda breezing through the battles at a comfortable pace. Every hour or so something genuinely tricky pops up, but everything's pretty simple and easy to get through so far. Most of the Game Overs I've gotten are due to silly errors in judgment, but it's nice that those can actually be dangerous for once. Despite being treated like the toughest fights, the
have all been easy so far.

Just saw the fuckawesome scene in chapter 7. Feels like crazy stuff is about to happen.
Also,
Also,
I'm starting to get really suspicious of Vanille. That scene in the rain makes me think she's like the human embodiment of the Fal'cie or something. Don't tell me if I'm right or not but I'm definitely curious.

yeah, sentinel that shit. I would use SEN/ MED and make sure I started provoking as soon as the gatling gun line showed up on screen. then put on shields. hit triangle if you have to so youre not waiting for the ATB bar and get shot down.
then the med would heal up any HP lost in the attack right away
edit: @ Tamanon: that aint no proper JRPG advice! theres always a way to win

Holy crap, what a horrible review: http://www.gamepro.com/article/reviews/214272/final-fantasy-xiii/
The Gamepro one.
WTF is this shit?
Why can't people judge something on its own merits?
Anyway I hope you guys are all enjoying the game so far.
Yea, this is one way to do it. Potions are another way, but they won't work later on.

just make sure you have someone on commando... you can do a commando hit... then go to ravager to build up the break bar... then back to commando to slow the rate it falls... keep switching back and forth, you'll get the hang of it and your bar will rarely fall completely down even when you take a break to heal...Himuro said:
when you DO heal just have a paradigm with a medic and a ravager and you'll still have the bar grow but you'll be able to heal at the same tiiiiime
I think I'm nearing the end of Chapter three. Both Vanille and Hope have mellowed out and are much more tolerable now. When Vanille speaks like a normal person instead of the tee hee kawai girl, she's fine. I do expect her to start pining for Danny and sing "Hopelessly Devoted to You"

so far what i got from the weapon upgrade system:dreamer3kx said:
basically... what you wanna do is use organic materials first... from the "creature comforts" store you can buy some stuff... if you buy ~40 things from there (around 3000 gil i think) you'll be able to raise your bonus to 3X...
from there you can buy or use the inorganic upgrade materials... the ones that yield the most points (the garage store stuff...) so after i have a 3X bonus i usually buy about 20-30 ferroelectric films from the garage shop and it'll give me like 7000 points... so i gain like 5 levels initially...
that's what i've been doing... hope it helps a bit... if anyone has more input i'd appreciate it as well
