    FFXIII: Favorite Characters

    I fell in love with Fang the moment I heard her say, "You're gonna squirm!" She's arguably one of the most badass, no nonsense female characters in a Final Fantasy game. Who can you really compare her to? Yuffie? Quistis? Yuffie was far too immature and although she was reckless, she didn't have...

    Towns and NPCs

    What's your opinion on the lack of towns and NPCs in FFXIII? Personally, when I got to Nautulis and found out all I could do is walk up to people and 'hear' what they had to say, I was disappointed. Most of the time they were one-liners, and most of the time I didn't have the patience to sit...

    Rate the Battle System

    I definitely like it, but it's far from perfect. The battle system was built around speed. Anything that could contribute to making battles shorter was thrown in, and if that meant cutting out features, then so be it. Note the fade-in, fade-out time between battles. You get the ATB command...

    What time do you go to bed?

    11-11:30 pm is the sweet spot if you're a full-time, 9-5 office drone. Sometimes I mix it up a bit and "dare" to go to bed an hour later, since I can usually get away with being late for work... The night I got platinum in FFXIII I was up until 2, but it was so worth it, even if I was dead tired...

    im buying a ps3 just for this

    Wait, what? You must mean broken PS3s. Unless I'm completely in the dark on this, I'm pretty sure you have to drop at least 200 bucks to get a working PS3, even if it's eBay. If there is really one under 100, link me to it, I'm interested XD

    INTENSE SPOILER

    Way to ruin the best book in my fiction collection.

    Help FFXIII: Platinum Ingot Trouble

    Yeah, I would say so. If you want an ultimate weapon, you have no choice. Keep farming adamantoises until you get a trapezohedron, then turn it into 3 using the dismantle trick. DON'T turn the turtles into Long Guis, they're a lot tougher. As I've said a couple times, there's always the...

    NO MORE ATB??

    If I didn't want ATB turn-based battles, I'd play Diablo. The turn-based battle is a fundamental element of a console style RPG, especially Final Fantasy. It's like taking out buying and selling items. Why mess with a formula that is tried and true? You have to admit though, FFXIII drastically...

    Where in FF would you live?

    DEFINITELY Costa del Sol. What a life that would be. Beaches, cocktails, ladies... :3 I'm surprised nobody else has said it yet.

    Titan in Archylte Steppe

    He reminds me of Diamond Weapon from FF7. I thought for sure I'd get to fight him by the end of the game...what a disappointment. :S Vercingetorix was challenging, but looked easy...whereas when you see Titan or one of the Weapons from FF7, you just know you're about to get pwned.

    Anyone finished this game 100%

    91% as of last night. Finally killed a Long Gui. All I'm missing is the elusive Treasure Hunter trophy. I'm up to 88 hours, looks like I'll have 100% by about 90-92 hours. I'm thinking about being an UBER completist gamer and not only getting 100%, but also getting all 8 ultimate weapons for...

    ff13 is one of my ff favorites already

    It is, it is indeed. Maybe you can tell us all what you liked about it so much. I think there's a separate thread for that... Even if the answer is clearly Fang. XD

    Help FFXIII: Platinum Ingot Trouble

    Pretty much any way you slice it, it's going to take time to farm gil. It really depends on if killing frequently for a small guaranteed gain (moonblossom seeds) is your choice, or if you can handle killing 10-30 turtles an hour for a comparatively larger gain but with less frequency. It's a...

    FFXIII: Love It or Hate It?

    ^ Ok. XD... With what part exactly?

    FFXIII: Love It or Hate It?

    Good: gorgeous graphics, innovative battle system, hours of gameplay, captivating story. Fang. Need I say more? Bad: Linearity, LACK OF GIL. Still love it though... XD

    Help FFXIII: Upgrading Weapons!

    Probably into chapter 11, and that's only if you decide to stop there and do some the missions/side quests etc. The missions seem to be where the real challenge is. I would wager that it's entirely possible to beat the game without upgrading whatsoever, especially if your crystarium is...

    Help What is the max amount of materia you can have?

    Not the magical number, it's just the upper limit of an 8-bit unsigned integer, if we start from 1. *pushes up glasses* :3

    Help FFXIII: need money

    If you're on Chapter 11, you're probably at Taejin's tower... Can't you farm Mission 24? Moonblossom seeds sell for 6k each, you can easily complete the mission in 20-45 seconds, run back to the statue, restart the mission, and repeat. Doing this process should net you around 500-700k gil per...
