Final Fantasy 13 Help

[Nieroshai]

1. FIGHT EVERYTHING. TWICE.
2. Never ignore a treasure chest.
3. Your whole party must multiclass in at least three classes.
4. Never buy new weapons or armor, enemy drops are enough and you can upgrade your tech anyway. The only things you should ever buy are healing items.
5. Never use Deceptisol to skip a battle. Use it instead for a guaranteed sneak attack.
6. Staggering is your friend.

At least, you see there's some kind of thought behind those game.
The story is dumb and uninvolving. Exposition come from either a thesaurus or you own damn crazy imagination. They dress Vanille with as much clothing as Rikku from 10-2 but got her more annoying then Tidus, Cloud, Sephiroth and Squall OR as I like to call them all, the Issue team.
Tidus:"Why won't you love me daddy?" *burst in tears*
Cloud:" Who am i?" *Burst in tears*
Sephiroth:" Mother, look at me mom!" *Burst in tears*
Squall:" Why won't nobody like me?" *Burst in tears*
But hey, Sulking heroes work back then, so they make all of 13 characters like that.

It a fucking nightmare on paper and worst that the product exist in real life.

Dude ALL OF 'EM have problems:

FF9:
Zidane:"My people are gone..." *Bursts into tears*
Garnet:"My mommy wants to kill me even though shes not my mommy she just wants to use me like all the knights of pluto did...." *Bursts into tears cause everyone else is*
Vivi:"My lookalikes are robots-i must be one too!" *Bursts into tears/oil*
Kuja:"I hate you, and you and you. And me. And everything" *Bursts into evil laugh, then tears*

FF10-2:
Yuna:"Hes not dead. I saw him die, but hes not dead!" *Bursts into tears*
Rikku:"That b@tch said i looked fat in this mini skirt and bikini" *Bursts into tears*
Paine:"I'm only here as a Lulu wannabe" *Bursts into tears*

FF12:
Vaan:"I'll never be good enough for anybody" *Bursts into tears*
Penelo:"I secretly have a Vaan shrine. LOOOVVEEE MEEE VAAAAAANNN!!" *Bursts into tears*
Ashe:"My kingdom is ruled by an @$$." *Bursts into tears*
Bashe:"My twin is an @$$." *Bursts into tears*
Balthier:"I love you Fran (not really)"
Fran:"I love you Balthier (not really)"
...
...
...
*Both burst into tears*

NOTE: FF is awesome, but its the character stories that are a bit of a joke.

Not all, Some of them aren't sulking for the majority of the game.

FF9:
Zidane:"My people are gone..." *Bursts into tears*

For one scene were after he beat Kuja and to save Gaia... When he come back, he say that his foster-parent is all he need.

Garnet:"My mommy wants to kill me even though shes not my mommy she just wants to use me like all the Knights of Pluto did...." *Bursts into tears cause everyone else is*

Hein? We didn't play the same game, I think. She OVERLY UPSET not because her mother betray her (tho she still love her) but the destruction That Metric ton of blue fat rained with HER EIDOLONS... or whatever it's spell like. But at least she didn't cry about it, She break down and lost her voice... which i had hope they did with Tidus or Vanille.

Vivi:"My lookalikes are robots-i must be one too!" *Bursts into tears/oil*

He's like a 8 year old kid that is trying to grasp the notion of death. He's not a robot but a creature that have less time to live then a dog. Otherwise, he would just repair himself and live forever. Also, I can recall that he just stare at the star and not go emo and while screeming:" I don't want to be remembered like that!" and storm out. Yeah, i'm looking at you Squall.

Kuja:"I hate you, and you and you. And me. And everything" *Bursts into evil laugh, then tears*

[HEADING=1]Wrong![/HEADING]
It's:
Kuja: I don't want to die. How come they can live longer than me? I hate you, and you and you. And me. And everything" *Bursts into evil laugh, then tears*
Edit: BTW Paine: I'm just a Lulu Wannabe *burst into tears*. That joke is epic... I had a hard time catching my breath after reading this.

My advise are:

Grind for "-insert name here- chip" whenever possible,and sell them for Gil later (which you'll need) and don't upgrade weapon too early in the game, upgrade stat+ accessories instead because you'll be switching from party to party.

Also get use to having Hope or Vanille in your party since they'll be your main mages,and healers,and Hope can be a top commando,don't let anyone else convince you otherwise.

Shift your Paradigm often,it might not necessary at early hours,but i can be essential at later fights.

Don't ever set combat speed to slow.

You can use the Retry command (pause the combat and you'll see it) to escape battles,abuse it!

At the beginning of the game,you don't have to fight at all,because you won't get any "CP",but you still get items

Don't ignore stat boosts when spending CP.

always Libra (scan) bosses and tough enemies.

Get Death spell for vanille as soon as possible,you could use it to grind tougher monster isn't immune to death spell.


Well,that's pretty much all i can think of for now.

<color=purple> Many people here pass this game off as an extremely simple linear game. Others seem to think that it is extremely hard. ... The ability to grind makes the game indefinitely easy with time. But all in all it isnt that hard. But it is worth it to look around every corner, because its better to get tons of free items than to buy them later. And its just nice to see the whole game. Other than that, just have fun. It's a great game.

Everything Akalistos said!

[Sniper Team 4]

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.

There is one spot that you will not be able to get back to, but it's at the very end of the game. There are two enemies in the area, and each gives you 32,000 CP points per battle. It's a good place to level up if you're going for the trophies/achievements. However, like the beginning of the game, you can't access it again until you start another playthrough. Sadly, everyone is correct in saying that there's really nothing you risk missing. Very sad...

Just keep playing and survive the first 20hrs. Then "the game gets interesting" (says most people who played it, which oddly enough is when I got bored with it and traded it in.)
Good luck.
