ciancon said:Hi guys, i'm just starting off Final Fantasy 13 (so no spoilers please) and i just want to know;
Is there anything that i need to do or not do whilst playing through?
i.e. in FF12 there was a set of treasure chests which, if opened, would mean that you couldn't get the ultimate lance in the game.
Also, is there anywhere that has important stuff that i can't go back to after completing the game?
Thanks.
That's a forgotten gem of the game. The eidolon battles are very interesting, IMHO. Can't say that most of people's criticism towards the game could count towards those.EmileeElectro said:People probably shouldn't use this thread to ***** about the game, he's asking for help with playing it, not opinions.
I didn't do absolutely everything in the game, I didn't even get all the hidden trophies which I thought I would whilst playing it.
The Eidolons (sp?) all have to be fought differently; you have to constantly guard when fighting the Shiva sisters for example. There's plenty of guides online if you ever get stuck, like I used to.
I got everyone to learn medic too, if you have the time, get them all to learn everything.
And you're one of the people who complain that the battle system is dumbed down? =S Because apparently, one of the smartest parts of tactics in the game flew RIGHT past you.Garak73 said:The eidolon battles were stupid. It was a bad idea. If we must fight the summons, GF's, eidolons, etc... to get them then it should be a normal boss fight not a "guess what you have to do to win" fight.
If you scanned the eidolons, didn't it always tell you the same strategy which tells you nothing?
Why would that make any sense?Garak73 said:The eidolon battles were stupid. It was a bad idea. If we must fight the summons, GF's, eidolons, etc... to get them then it should be a normal boss fight not a "guess what you have to do to win" fight.

While that's true and you would only really use them in dire circumstances, the fact that these creatures are supposed to be almighty and able to defeat anything, the fact that they are testing your powers and your ability to deal with different situations makes a lot more sense than you being able to beat them to a pulp eventually.Garak73 said:They were weak anyway, have been since FFX.Veldt Falsetto said:Why would that make any sense?Garak73 said:The eidolon battles were stupid.

"Ohh I can beat the summons anyway, why bother using them?"
3 on 1 with eidolons only happens once in the entire game, just so happens it's bahamut too.Garak73 said:What makes more sense doesn't always improve gameplay. Besides one could argue that 3 people defeating one GF is still believable since it's 3 on 1.Veldt Falsetto said:While that's true and you would only really use them in dire circumstances, the fact that these creatures are supposed to be almighty and able to defeat anything, the fact that they are testing your powers and your ability to deal with different situations makes a lot more sense than you being able to beat them to a pulp eventually.Garak73 said:They were weak anyway, have been since FFX.Veldt Falsetto said:Why would that make any sense?Garak73 said:The eidolon battles were stupid.
