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.

Just keep playing until you reach the 15 hour game mark, then stop playing because of how dull the game is.

The single most important thing to do is sell the game and put the money toward something decent.

Jesus christ guys, JOKE IS OLD. Leave him the fuck alone, he wants advice. Don't you have anything better to do? We get it. The game didn't appeal to you.

OT: I have to agree that maybe if you prefer to play the game in that way, you should get a strategy guide. I also recommend you not to listen to most of these guys, and rather build an opinion for yourself. If you don't like the game, that's ok, but don't hate it because people tell you to.

Also, be sure to find out what the hell those sandals you can get in Gran Pulse are named, which if you max out their level, will transform into sandals that give the bearer auto-haste when they get critical health.

Um, max out your skill trees every time they open up. Um, some chests, but they;re retarded easy to find.
Oh, and don't name the chocobo. It will destroy the world.
Also, sell the game. Unless you are really drawn into the story, then don't waste your time.

Use potions whenever anything looks like it might go slightly wrong.
They're ridiculously cheap and there's nothing else to spend your money on until you want the ultimate weapons near the end.

That's all I can think of to be helpful. I don't think anything's ever made impossible to get.

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.

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.

Don't worry just replace A with X and then go to sleep and when you wake up the game will be beaten.

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?
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.

Protip: when searching for information about a game, do not come to a place where a whole bunch of people dislike the game, and then ask for help about said game.

Seriously, consult either the official strategy guide, or find an online walkthrough written by people who care.

I like the massive imbalance between people telling him its crap. Then those defending it, aka saying form your own opinion.

Personally there is nothing to miss. I wish I had the time I invested back. Square has lost almost all faith in me except for handhelds. That may be waning, we'll see how ff4heroes of light does.

I recommend consulting a strategy guide for some of the later bosses, and once you get to Gran Pulse you'll need to grind a bit to continue easily.
That's all their is really, unless you want to get all the achievements, in which case I recommend keeping an achievement guide close at hand.

I wish people would stop trolling this thread; spouting stupid lines which others have said a million times before does not make you clever. "Walk forward and press A lolololol" I'd like to see you actually do that and make it passed 2 percent of the game.

Why would that make any sense?
"Ohh I can beat the summons anyway, why bother using them?"

They were weak anyway, have been since FFX.
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.

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.
3 on 1 with eidolons only happens once in the entire game, just so happens it's bahamut too.
