official Final Fantasy XIII

I'm near the end of chapter 12 actually. I'll probably finish the game either tonight (I hear chapter 13 is short) or tomorrow night. Then I can start Splinter Cell.

[George P Global Moderator]

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.

[DPyro]

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.

[DPyro]

You can always use dispelga.

[Colby.Swandale]

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

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

Finished this tonight, boy was the last 3 fights too easy... Kinda disappointing tbh!

I used Lightning/Fang/Hope weapons stared at the second tier. Was over too quickly, specially the last fight which was over in 1min38s :blink:

Don't know if I cba to do the missions :wacko:

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.

Oh so it does change after a while? So does that mean I can control more than 1 character or what soon?

[DPyro]

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!

What is it you want "unlocked"?

[.KICK]

What is it you want "unlocked"?

DPyro says I have not gone far enough to unlock the battle system. Right now the battle system is pretty pants.

[Pablo2008jedi]

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.

[Hedon]

Agreed Kick. FFXIII seemed like a flop to me IMO.

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...

[DPyro]

I only got mission 63 and 64 to do, then I have to equip gold watch and five star about 28 missions for the trophy. After that I just need treasure hunter trophy for my another platinum trophy :D

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.

[DPyro]

All missions complete. 25 to five star. Mission 64 was a bitch but I beat it the cheap way with poison and just tank/heal - got 5 star first time I beat it. Will need to find a strategy for long guis so I can get that trophy as well as CP/Gill.

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

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

[rajputwarrior]
