I also upgraded accesoires that I needed for a boss fight :/

No idea. I havn't gone over level 10 and I'm still at chapter 10.

I, too have most my weapons around 8-10, but I have a couple at 12. My question is this, though: How many levels do these weapons have? What's the max? Seems impossible at this point to get some of the better ones up to 12 let alone any higher. TheEldestGod

[QUOTE="PoisoN_Facecam0"][QUOTE="4nia"] well i've already leveled 1 to 14 for one (which i ended up scrapping because it had no passive abilities.. I'm only on chapter 7 and i have 5 weapons at lvl 10 already... maybe i shouldn't be taking much advice from you ;) [QUOTE="TheEldestGod"]I, too have most my weapons around 8-10, but I have a couple at 12.

Damn, this game gets seriously hard later on. I took 5 tries on that last boss fight in Chapter 9, and still no luck. I guess I gotta buff my characters while he charges his OMG-GONNA-KILL-YOUR-ENTIRE-PARTY-NOW-LOLOLOL attack. I'll try again tomorrow.hazelnutman

honestly in this FF more than any before i find that patience is the key.. i'll go 2 or 3 minutes in a boss fight dealing little to no damage just healing and buffing/debuffing.. especially since you don't have to worry about mana its alright to kill a dozen or so turns just surviving and gearing up to make a big offensive.. always attacking is a good way to die quickly...

Wow grand pulse is amazing. Its so cool seeing all the monsters roaming free like that in their own little world. This game is so great i havent enjoyed a FF like this a long time :(

13 to me fixes everything 12 was trying to do but 12 failed at it. Im still trying to understand why this game didnt get a 9 or higher.

I'm on chapter 10, that boss at the end of chapter 9 was a lot of fun. LOL, it was the first boss that I put hours into approaching and beating. :lol: In this game...

I admit it was over kill though, I maxed out and it was easy after. Though I never thought lowly of a game for that, if you put all that hard work and time into a game then a boss battle isn't easy you've just made it that way for yourself with all your time and efforts.

[QUOTE="frostybanana"][QUOTE="jeremiah06"] jrpg's are Japanese so unless you like anime then you'll always find some of the personalities/voices weird/annoying. There is a girl in love hina who has the same voice style as vanille(both of which I don' find annoying). As a matter of fact the only annoying character I've ever found in any final fantasy game was gau. Everything about him was annoying even leveling him up.jeremiah06

Some of these items i have i dont know what they are for. Like the animal parts from the creatures are they just for to update your weapons? and what is the point of the motherload store? i have a few of the crystals from the store i have no idea what they are for.vincent380

Can someone please give me some tips on how to beat the boss at the end of stage 5 I believe, its the one where its just lightning and hope. He does a spin attack that takes half of your hp away.

Just got him with a heavy amount of double dose.

Ok without spoiling the game how are the weapons/treasures to find in the game? I love a good RPG were you can hunt down treasures, weapons etc, etc.GrandJury

This game just blew me away! I'm not finished with it yet though...

SPOILER

The game just blew my mind entirely, once I got to the "world map" I was just totally brain boogled. I've never seen so much map. It's more map than I can handle and it's beautiful and it goes on and on as far as the eye can see and even further. I've never seen any thing like this in a video game before. I can't even focus, I had to break from the game because the map is so full of life and endless roam that I was just blown away. I couldn't even take it all in.

Chapter 11 or not, the map is AWESOME!

I had to walk away from it, totally breath taking, anyone who wants to whine and complain that the story is linear is a fool, of course it is they lived more or less a slave's life. IF the game was any other way it would not only make no sense whatsoever, it would be stupid lol. Stupid, yes. IM FREE! IM FREE! IM ON THE WORLD MAP AND ITS AWESOME!

[QUOTE="GrandJury"][QUOTE="TheEldestGod"] Yeah, that doesn't really happen much. I'm in chapter 7 (out of 13) and the only treasures and weapons I've gotten are from these floating metal balls that are placed sporadically along your path. Its possible to miss some of them, but you'd be a complete moron if you did. Basically, there's no treasure HUNTING that I've encountered yet. The enemies only drop "components" that you use to level up your weapons or sell for gil (cause they sure as hell don't drop any gil). I have heard that later on in the game you can ride a chocobo around and hunt for treasure on a broader map but its in chapter 11 which is like 30+ hours into the game. TheEldestGod

[QUOTE="TheEldestGod"][QUOTE="GrandJury"]Hmmm. I might rent or wait for a price drop then. Thanks for the info man.GalufUndies

I am stuck on the boss fight at the end of Chapter 6 with Sazh and Vanille. Spoilers for who it is [spoiler] Enlil and Enkil [/spoiler]

I finished the game yesterday and am now moving onto side quests. I was wondering what was the best weapon for lightning.

I mainly use her as Ravager to fill up the stagger gauge, and once filled I usually switch over to commando for the dmg bonus. I'm debating between Blazefire, Axis Blade, and Lionheart. I already have Blazefire and Lionheart at maxed Level 2. I'm actually somewhat puzzled as to how the quick stagger for Lionheart works, as I'm not really visibly seeing the benefits. Anyone care to elaborate on that, and their weapon of choice?

This game get really good after Chp. 6! It's becoming of the best games I have played in a while. Some of these bosses really make you ponder how to defeat them. Enjoying the battle system so far. It's a lot of fun!

Yeah the map is great and all but where and what the hell am I supposed to go and do? Damn my right sided brain! It's ok, I'll figure it out but I always get confused at least once playing a FF game...

[QUOTE="TheEldestGod"][QUOTE="PoisoN_Facecam0"] there have been a few boss fights so far where it seems if i just try to attack him i die really fast... 2 medics and 1 commando is alright to do chip damage if your patient.. whenever i see a boss start charging something up i get out a sentinel and 2 medics (if i can or sentinal, synyrgist, medic).. its my damage eater party ;)

I totally agree. Trying to rush through a fight is the only thing that's gotten me killed so far. If I'm stumped on an enemy I switched everybody to medics, so they stay healed while I figure out what to try next. Sometimes all you really can do is chip damage until you can wear out their defenses and stagger them or something. I find this game takes a lot more strategy than previous titles for the most part, because not only is your attack methods important but timing is everything. I'm just glad its finally getting to a point in the game where I feel like I'm actually in the heat of battle. Challenge = fun.

exactly.. battles almost have the tactical freedom of FF Tactics in a way... not having to rush through battles before your MP drains is wonderful.. sentinels are a great way to control the pace of a battle if you fighitng a bunch of semi-powerful enemies...

As of right now Snow is the only Sentinel in the bunch. I really wish I had more. I need more Saboteurs, too. I really like how no matter what each paradigm is extremely helpful in one way or another, and I find my self using everyone at my disposal in almost every big battle. I feel like a king directing an army in this game. As long as the enemies present at least a little challenge this battle system is actually a blast.

What about in Vile Peaks? You have to backtrack after turning on the power to get some of the treasure. I skipped that the first time I played the game.

Can anyone tell me the differences between the CE and non-CE OSGs? I know that in the CE OSG there are "16 pages providing in-depth coverage of the Final Fantasy XIII story line," but do these hold any information that is useful within the game? Also, are there any other additions aside from these 16 pages? Yes, I know it's hardcover with high quality paper and high resolution images, etc., but, again, is there any practical information in the CE OSG that is not included in the non-CE OSG?

Thanks!

Great, PS3 bricks after I get to Chapter 10. *sigh*hazelnutman
