So is there really any rhyme or reason to choose certain party members over others? All the abilities seem somewhat similar.

Can you skip some games so not to get spoiled?
Just go with the ones you like most.

Sadly I can't choose a party of Dr. Cid, Jihl, Kuja & Ultemecia!!!
You can choose any game, then play 5 straight songs from that game. So yes. You have to beat them in series mode to unlock them for challenge mode, as far as I can tell.

Having a blast with it, so far. My only real complaint is that the videos are all hard coded with Japanese text. Watching them again seems kind of pointless with the lack of English. Oh well, time to tackle 7.

I scored perfect criticals on a song and only got an S, how the fuck did you manage that?I raise you, dawg.
To be honest, even though in theory you can get spoiled, I'm generally way too preoccupied with the actual game to even notice what's going on in the background any more than casually.
Usually what happens is if it's a game that I've played, I'll see something I recall and say "oh look, I remember that", but for the games I haven't, I can't even begin to parse what's transpiring in the scene.
Maybe especially observant or skilled players will manage to do both, but that sure isn't me.

Unequip all magic/items/abilities. You'll get a stoic bonus, which will push an S to an SS. Not sure if it goes up to SSS, though.
Same lol. They're so cute and odd.

I also lack the, "visual dexterity" to do both at the same time but I just find the lack of English unfortunate.

I need to not use items then.
Best part? You never get to fight Chaos ever again. Sortaa lame.
Took me a Best Buy, Gamestop, and 2 Targets to find this game. Been playing it non-stop for the last 2 hours.
Love it.
Question: Is there a main mode I'm supposed to be trying to progress in? I'm just playing the heck out of Chaos Shrine.
(P.S. -- If you're not playing this with headphones, you're missing out big time.)

I have shitty headphones, so I plugged it into the AUX-IN port of my 5.1 surround speakers =D
I havent played the game, but I found this.

Thought maybe someone would wanna buy it.

Yea..it goes up to SSS
Yes, it's on basic lol. I just wanted to see if it WAS possible to get SSS. Can't wait to attempt to SSS every song. So much fun trying to do so.
Saber's Edge is so good. Makes me want to jump back into FXIII
Playing this game with headphones is a MUST.
As far as I've figured out regarding scoring (someone correct me if I'm wrong):
4,000,000+ C Rank
5,000,000+ B Rank
6,000,000+ A Rank
7,000,000+ S Rank
9,000,000+ SS Rank
9,999,999 SSS Rank
The scores seem to be static for every stage, and on multiple stages I can verify the above. It was mentioned earlier, but there is a HARD cap of 7,999,999 score that you can get unless you get the Stoic Bonus. You get the Stoic Bonus by unequipping all items and abilities from your characters in your party (if you select Unequip All it actually tells you this). The score cap remains the same but Stoic Bonus always provides a 2,000,000 bonus after the song is over which then raises the max to 9,999,999.

Are there some summons/chocobos that only appear with items? I used items to get the
to appear and to summon
, but I wasn't sure if they show up on their own.
Also, it's pretty cool that you get trophies for seeing all of the chocobos/summons.

It does. All Criticals + Stoic Bonus = 9,999,999 points = SSS.
After 8 and a half hours of gametime today I never saw either one of those, so either they're super rare, or yeah you have to use items.

Gamestop didn't have my stylus ...using the standard one has clawified my hand.
Super fun and my only big complaint aside from swiping is I want more everything. Music, characters, movies etc.
Dlc gonna ruin me...

I was wondering this as well. Luckily they had one of my favorite tracks on there (FFX - The Fleeting Dream) so I instantly knew I had to have it.
That sucks. Did they give you the wrong box, or did they simply not have any left or received any? I had to go back to exchange mine (unopened) since I realized that it was just the standard version. The one with the stylus just had a sticker or something on the packaging which I guess it could be easy to confuse which is which.

Whether or not there's sales tax depends on your state, that's nothing new on any of the eshop stuff.
This is my first time buying from the eShop.
Fair enough lol. Same as any online purchases though, although I think some states have changed recently as far as actually enforcing it (Amazon charges tax in Texas now, etc).

Ugh beginner so so freaking boring... Doing the unlocks on it the first time through is almost mind numbing
I don't get charged on PSN oddly enough.
