Just beat Alexander in Chapter 11 so I'm free to run around Grand Pulse! Might start to do some missions to get more CP :)

Go do missions 1-14. 14 is "special" ;) You will get something special that will help you out a LOT ;)

So beat the boss of 11 and ran and got 55 and went to go kill the dude. First time up, didn't bother to setup any proper paradigms as I just wanted to see it before I started. I'm using teh death method.

My second cast of death and I killed him. No other paradigms to survive and slowly kill the little dudes. :(

Back to it and this time I got some proper paradigms setup to combat this guy.

Edit not even 5 minutes later. The very next time went in, death went off on the third cast. Jumped into Combat Clinic to heal snow and co back to full then just kept going to Delta Attack (Rav/Rav/Sen) and back to Combat Clinic to kill the little guys.

4 minutes later. Mission complete. 5 stars, 62500CP and the Growth Egg!!!!!

I'm on chapter 7 and super low on gil, any advice for getting more?

At the end of the chapter you will be inside Hope's House. Once the house is attack there will be two group of soliders. Attack one then run around the "circle" (it's more rectangle shaped) kill the other, and the first group will have respond. Just keep running around in circles killing these two groups. It'll net you CP, but since you need gil the soliders drop two items that sell. Credit Chip for 500 and Incentive Chip for 2500. Farm as long as you want. Once you step out you will face the boss and end the chapter. (though there's another really good spot in Chapter 9).

Just got to the boss fight

with Barthandelus and wasn't prepared to fight him. Was so close to beating him though, then he cast DOOM on me and I panicked. Went with relentless assault and forgot to heal before he used destrudo

and I ended up dead :cry: He only had 30,000 HP left!

Next time I'll use Snow as he has 1800 HP.

I just beat him and he didn't cast Doom on me. I was waiting for it. It was a pretty easy fight for me. A little long.

When I was on that fight the HP of my character's, Lightning, Fang and Hope, were in the 4000s. I'm at the beginning of Chapter 12. Now I'm finally going to get the two weapons I'm going to upgrade for Hope and Lighting. :D

EDIT: Wait where are you? lol

I started a new game as no matter what tactics I used, my characters would always get beaten by basic enemies like Giant Flans on Gran Pulse. It was extereeemely irritating.

So I'm grinding a lot more this time, and upgrading different weapons/paradigms with balance when it comes to mag/str rather than leaning towards one stat. Hopefully I'll be better off this time.

lol. I'm on Chapter 9 and haven't really grinded to level up. Most characters are max at level 3 on 2/3 roles. If I had summoned Odin that boss would have been dead :angry:

OK....now I'm ****ed off.

I tried two more times and both times he cast doom on me when he still had 50% of his health left...WTF??? The first time I played he didn't cast doom till 30,000 health was left!

Doom or destru?

Doom is normally casts when you are taking to long to kill him.

Destru, just means keep damaging him hard and you'll interrupt his attacks and that attack will do barely any damage.

Finished the game. :)

Also got "Superstar" on the last boss. Gotta love it when Light/Fang/Hope all hit for 99999 at 800% stagger. :)

Gotta say that ending is by far one of the most amazing I've seen from any game.

Hope they do a second one and continue with this story and if they do, hopefully that isn't a failsauce like X2.

Can anyone help me with the Chapter 5 boss?

Strategies and such?

COM/RAV until he's at about 120%, then RAV/RAV for the rest. Throw in a medic paradigm for healing, and having a Synergist role in there somewhere to start the battle off helps. Don't bother summoning.

    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By WaltC · Posted

      I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
