Oh man, this sucks. Haha. So I'm at the end, fighting Orphan get him down to 4m but when my meds (or whole party) get their magic locked I'm totally screwed.

Any quick way to do this? I'm use fang/lighting/vanille. I've heard some have managed to beat his first form from the first stagger they get, I must be doing something wrong or am not strong enough.

Never ran into that problem. I only died the first time I fought him with an instant death attack and the next time I faced him I beat the game, then proceeded to beat the boss again to get the trophy.

Weird, maybe I'm doing it wrong hahah. I have fang/lighting/vanille. All my characters main 3 roles are maxed out at lvl4 ofc, and those 3 have their weapons at 2nd star. I guess I need a better strat.

Thats not why it bothers me, they tend to keep switching to and from English and Australian. Sometimes a bit American.

Hang on i am from australia and not once have i picked up an aussie accent, the only thing close to it is fang's voice, but i still would not say its aussie

Hmm. Fang and Vanille sound like strong Australian or New Zealandy. Like if they said 'Oh No', it'd sound like 'Oy Noy'. :p

You can always use dispelga.

I finally did it, after another 10 or so tries, I used the poison tactic. The 2nd form was easy after that. Oh well, another RPG done for me. 2mins under the 60hr mark as well. 59hrs 58min and something like 35-40sec? :p

Okay, just started playing this game and have just got past the bit

where Serah is turned into a crystal

and what the hell did they do to this series?!

It is way too easy, the story makes no sense and it doesn't even feel like an RPG! I am a huge FF nut but this is a real disappointment so far. Part of me says I should give it a chance and keep playing but a part of me says it will continue to be like this for a while! :(

I don't think you've played enough into the game to where they unlock the battle system.

You only control one character at a time through battles but each character has different roles you can set them as. It's not old school FF but still pretty fun in its own way.

So far I think it is a load of rubbish just controlling one character! But I shall play a bit more, how much more have I got to do to unlock what should be there from the start!

I think it depends on what he means by unlocked.

At the start ou are kinda tied to the players you are given, with little choice on who is leader. I think its chapter 9 where you can actually choose who you want in yout team and who you want as the main role.

And I have to agree, its not really a jRPG, more of an Action RPG.

The story does get better towards chapter 4 and beyond and you feel more connected to the characters.

beat the game a while ago, was gonna come back and beat all the cieth marks, but just cant bring myself to insert the game disk...

Yip, I feel the same way.

I wouldn't mind doing the missions while on that chapter, but you couldn't as you needed to be stronger but the crystalarium thingy was maxed out.

Is the any way to go back and watch a cutscene i missed, it was an optional cutscene in palumpolum chapter 7, near beginning, before you jump down to that half circle walkway with the green bike that appears not long after you jump down to get the ball item chest

    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com

      I wonder how driving laws around the world will change. No way to really tell if people are using phone. Same with smart watches i guess even now and those silly built in tablets for controlling the car instead of buttons.
