    Help FFXIII: Chapter 13: where is the point of no return?

    I proceeded along in Orphan's Cradle after doing very little grinding in Pulse and Edenhall (through portals). And I got past the part where I defeat the Jabberwocky and whats-his-name (the 2 beasts in the temple area you teleport to). But so far, I see no way to go back. Is there a way to go...

    Help FFXIII: Barthelandus, the second encounter

    How did you get HP to 8000+? Is there a double-max-hp spell/accessory in this game?

    Help FFXIII: Barthelandus, the second encounter

    I grinded up until I got another 70k crystal points to play with. And I went with Fang, Hope, and Sazh and got him in 17 mins. The 2nd half of the battle was a bit of a crawl because I struggled to keep up with healing and he kept dispelling my buffs. I don't suppose there is a way to...

    Help FFXIII: Barthelandus, the second encounter

    I've upgraded a number of weapons to level 9. But it looks like advancing on the crystarium is much more effective for increasing strength and magic. Anyways, whats the most efficient way to grind from where I am (savepoint before Oerba Barth encounter). The best I've found is to backtrack from...

    Help FFXIII: Barthelandus, the second encounter

    I've been going with the character combo that every source recommends (Light/Fang/Hope) and perform my usual routine of buff/debuff at the start (Evened Odds), swap between Diversity and Relentless assault paradigms, and occasionally switch to combat clinic or back to evened odds. But its still...

    How does each characters stats increase?

    Do all characters have a given rate at which each stat (strength, magic, vitality, speed) goes up when gaining a level or is it in some way influenced by the licenses or weapons you use? Right now, everyone has a magic stat of 20-25 except Ashe who has 34. I want to improve another characters...

    Your first game over?

    I almost had my first game over in those tunnels with the electric spiders that suck up power in the area. I only had one character that could use Black or White magic (Fran) and didn't think I needed to license my other characters since I wasn't planning on turning them into mages. Obviously I...

    Hardest Boss in the Final Fantasy Series...

    I played FF1 through 10 back to back recently. And I think Necron from FF9 was the hardest storyline boss, or at least the most annoying. His abilities force me to spend most of my time healing and reviving while occasionally squeezing in a powerful attack.

    Which FF game did you first anticipate?

    FF7 was the first one I was excited for the release of. FF6 was the first one I tried. But I was about 8 and didn't understand jRPGs at all. I can remember renting the game once, loading somebody else's saved game, and exploring the Narshe Cave in the WoR. I tried to fight mages with spells...

    Help When is the earliest I can acquire a fortune sphere?

    I recently used a luck sphere on an empty node near Wakka's position. But I forgot that I need another special kind of sphere to activate that node, and now I'm holding back on Wakka's sphere grid advancement until I get it unless its reaaallly far down the road. I'm currently in Macalania Woods...

    Hardest or easiest.

    Easiest: FF9 or FFX Hardest: FF2. Most of the harder FF games require you to grind more. FF2 pretty much requires you to have a working long term plan for your characters.

    Is it just me or is FF9 combat sloooow?

    I've been playing the final fantasy series again. And this time I've been playing them in order, 1 through 8 so far, and now I'm on 9. And the ATB combat feels even more slow and sluggish than FF4. Battle speed is cranked up to maximum, but still, the ATB gauges fill up quite slow, and there...

    Help Can't get dragon fangs at all

    I have 2 dragon fangs with me and I need two more to build the Lionheart. But I can't get any at all. Every guide/source out there tells me to go defeat blue dragons in the trabia area or on the island closest to hell. Well, blue dragons aren't very common in either area. And whenever I DO...

    Mantra blitz doesn't seem to work

    I'm using an emulator and a keyboard. And I rarely ever have trouble using Sabin's four other blitz techniques. But I have never been able to get this one to work. Its never happened. The blitz I'm talking about is the one that heals the party, I think, its supposed to be RLRLXY. Is the combo...

    Help How to beat Goers, in Luca for first time!

    how do you even get close to the goal without having 4 guys on you? They move faster than you, and most of your teammates have poor stats. Even though I'm using an emulator and abuse saved-states pretty badly in blitzball, I still can't score anything. Ever.

    FF Tactics vs. FF 12

    Mandalia plains is the 3rd battle. As in, the one that comes after the 2nd (kill thieves in town) and 1st (control only Ramza). I don't think you can get the holy spell at that point. I can't even get black/white mages yet.

    FF Tactics vs. FF 12

    Because I've read the entire manual for Final Fantasy Tactics, gone through all the tutorials and tips, and I still can't beat the 3rd mission called Mandalia Plains. I've looked at a walkthrough and tried several times, but every time I screw up somewhere. I've asked around and nobody has cited...

    How do random battles work?

    I mean, how does the programming behind random battles work? Does each map/load-section have a bunch of cells on the ground that have a small percentile chance of being marked (as in: causing a random battle if you walk into it) from the time the section loads? Is it predetermined in some way...

    Which Final Fantasy character/s most reminds you of yourself and why ?

    SQUALL because I am a man of few words and am anti-social, although for somewhat different reasons.
