i thought the savior was the default garb you start with.
I know,thats what I mean...I redid all my schemata and I dont see one called the Savior...
That was just the name of the schemata... if you look you'll see the pieces and you'll have to put it back together yourself.
Yeah if I remember correctly the actual garb isn't called savior, it's called something else.
Yes, it's Hamauzu. Here's a longer version with solo violin on the melody instead of a section.

edit:
I always listen for chord progressions first when determining if it's Hamauzu or not
But yes, he loves the violin and typically works with Kuwano a lot because they're bros.
His style is probably my favorite in all music, and his non-gaming endeavors are all really worth checking out if you are a fan of more traditional music in the vein of his compositional voice. IMERAUT is really great too, albeit a more non-traditional approach to a fusion of styles mixed with some Ainu influences thanks to Mina. I studied and presented a lot of his non-gaming music while in grad. school, and it always went over really well at conservatory.
Even performed some piano pieces for juries, heh.
IMERUAT, not IMERAUT D:
You know, I'd have agreed with you on the chord progressions thing based on FFX/FFXIII alone, but I'm going to admit that I originally attributed some of Suzuki's work in XIII-2 to Hamauzu before I checked liner notes. D:
The solo violins this time around were by Sho Omagari (VGO's usual concertmaster/Violin 1 first chair) and Zenas Hsu (the concertmaster/V1 FC for Lightning Returns recording of Hamauzu's music) instead of Kuwano-san since we did the recordings over here in Boston other than Crimson Blitz. We definitely listened to a lot of the previous XIII stuff to get the same vibe in the recordings though.
Have a semi-candid picture. That's Zenas recording for Lightning's Theme ~Radiance~
Not 100% sure but was it called equilibrium or was that the weapon or shield?
You have to use the key on both sides first, then after finishing up the quest talking to Chocolina you'll be able to use the highroad.

shit is REDONK
Shame the garb looks like shit. You'd have thought such an epic ability would be given to an equally god tier garb that made you look the tits (no pun intended). I don't care, I'm off to fight the Temple boss soon. Dat sword will be mine!

Another day without the game. Damn post service!
For anyone that ordered it from Amazon, did you get your DLC code in the box, or was it in some email? I'm starting to get worried about no emailed code (I pre-ordered in July, they ran out of codes in December), so hoping it'll be in the box.

The way I understand it the default first schemata (that uses Equilibrium) is called "The Savior".
When you change it to another garb though, it gets renamed to that garb, and when you change it back to Equilibrium, it gets renamed to "Equilibrium".

Ah ok guys,thanks..I am having enough trouble without losing a Garb lol...came close to beating a certain ennemy for an early quest in Wildlands but failed a few times again...my health goes down so fast and even if I guard,some still do like 200 damage to me,and my ATB is so slow,almost all the battles take forever...and I dont want to waste EP for the slow motion thing because I need to keep 1 EP to teleport back to Luxerion and try the Boss there later in the day...
Great the ennemy is staggered but all my stuff is on fucking ATB cooldown lol...
I have beaten XIII and XIII-2 on normal but this game man...

Really digging the game. Already on Day 4 (after abusing chronostasis in Day 3
), and also beat the Luxerion boss right at the beginning of Day 3, and the Wildlands Boss at the beginning of Day 4
. The Guard Defense stat may be easy to overlook but it's a life saver (
.
Now it's on to Yusnaan, hoping the performance will be better there, the framerate drops in wildlands were quite evident in some areas...
so much that I fought 6? last ones
(it felt to me like the White Mage garb, or Dispel, was mandatory to manage Caius's damage, since my Lightning was on 4k hp in two of the schematas and 3k in the other)
I'm guessing it also helps a ton against the chocobo eater)

There's a Blizzaga in the Temple of the Goddess if I'm not mistaken? I just can't remember in which level.

Enjoying it, but I really miss the old Stagger bar from XIII and XIII-2. Not quite feeling the combat yet, as much as I did the combat in the previous two, but I like the time-management stuff (since I liked Dead Rising). Lots of great humour too, had quite a few laugh-out-loud moments.
Kinda weird how the XIII series has, over the course of three games, made me like all three as a whole.
That framerate though. It's naive to hope for a patch that improves performance, and I can live with the horrible framerate, I just wish it wasn't *everywhere*.

It should be emailed to you. Mine took 3 days to be emailed to me after I received my game

found it. thanks
Yeah, I totally agree, that was such a great visual indication of how much stagger time you had and whether your actions were effective in increasing stagger.
The framerate is the worst I've seen in all the FXIII games and all the FF games I've played on console. Fighting the desert fish monsters, oy.
Thanks for the info. I'll keep waiting then.
Btw, what's this about Outerworld Challenges? 100k posts seems kinda a lot.
Aside, why the hell the twitter link on the eu blog post sends me to: Official North American Twitter account for LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY XIII.?

This game is brilliant, there's so much details and funny things around that is scary. Did you know for example that if you wait to face Noel he gets stronger with time and even equips better stuff? Just wow.
I'll be straight to the point: this is the most brilliant game S-E came up with in a long time. Next to Nier, but here there's even more genius. S-E with restricted budget is always the best Square Enix. Definitely confirmed now.

I think it's really good too, don't get why it got some really low scores.

Where is this cosmic beauty? No one seems to know how to get it (apparently it's not even available in-game :lol)
Lightning looks like she's running the Universe with this excessive nightmarish garb. I WANT IT. It's like something from Soul Calibur.

What excatly is brilliant about that?
Anyway,I was thinking about getting the game today,because I like the battle system and the customization.
However,the time limit ,balance issues and focus on fetch quests really turned me off.
I will wait for a significant price drop...which, according to my calculations, will take about 6 weeks.
The game is good but far from brilliant,there is too many bad design choices to make it brilliant,like only 5 recovery item,the awful quest tracking,the awful time management,the difficulty spikes,the awful slowdowns in Wildlands,the bad textures and darkness in Luxerion,etc etc...
Yoshichan
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?
The recovery items can be expanded.
Hardest optional boss in the game? Pffffttt!
You're a beast yoshi.
What's your schemata setup?
Yoshichan

Basically:
- Both items that steals Brave, Faith, Protect from the enemy (Heavy Slash)
- Fira and Thundara chaining for stagger
- Light Slashes to keep the stagger intact
- Slow at all times
That, and a lot of timings and awareness! Gotta love the optional fights in FF games.
I honestly like it too. It's heavily flawed but I've been actually having a decent amount of fun with it. Plus I rather like the somber tone of the story and the soundtrack is pretty damn great. The battle system is incredible. I actually wish the game somehow incorporated multiple characters. Fighting with
Fang
Desert fish lag is clearly a bug. Haven't gone to Wildlands yet to see how it is there, but I still think the frame rate is more consistent than XIII-2.
And I'm finding this game to have a pretty good level of difficulty. There's enough danger to keep you cautious, but the EP abilities/items provide a lot of room for error until you figure out a good strategy and rhythm for a type of enemy. I definitely haven't fought anything that felt unfair.
Of course, I haven't been to the Wildlands yet, so maybe I'll be complaining about the difficulty after that.

I found someone selling a Shard Blade for 50,000. Should I get that?

Final day, guys :'(...
Nope! Kill Reavers (by perfect blocking them, stagger > kill) and you'll get one for free.

That's part of the DLC outfits that will be coming up soon. There's 4 I think, including a moogle outfit that's pretty insane.

YESSSSS!!!!!!!! Beat Wildlands!1
Went in very very defensive
1 garb with an item that reduces magic damage by 75%
1 garb with an item that reduces physical damage by 75%
With both you can't cause any damage so set heavy and mediguard and 1 magic to break
Finally 1 garb with heavy slash
Simply switched garbs as the boss switched their attack traits
Then inbetween hit around 7000 a hit with heavy slash. No need to break.
Easy.

About Caius.
That's a very stupid plot point.Aside from the Yeul senseless retcon , he doesn't deserve any salvation.He is the one who brought everything to shit in the first place.
Also, I feel absolutely no sympathy for Caius Yeul thing.He is some seriously messed up psycho to think Yeul's death greenlights him to destroy the world.
I dislike this plot point so much.

Wow, I just realized I have to grind for another 5 or so hours in the final dungeon because of this stupid side quest. God, that's annoying. So close to beating it.
I'm quite amazed you can take the plot seriously in general.
I mean I'm enjoying the gameplay, but the story, I just can't. I just finished Sazh's episode,
and I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. Dajh locking his heart away because Sazh was always angry/frowning lol? Really?
