sounds like a GOW/FF wannabe. is she even going to cast spells anymore?!
How did you come to that conclusion? It’s more on the lines of Crisis Core with Paradigms o_O
She will from what the link says. I’m assuming it has a bit of FFX-2 dress thingy in it.
=_= in the trailer it shows her casting Thunraga and Blizaraga and followed up with attack commands, you can still use magic…your just limited to 4 commands in your load out per paradigm.
never played crisis core. but im hoping its more action oriented FFX-2 sphere system, but they way they describe the button presets worries me.
edit: havent seen the trailer.
Yeah sounds like Crisis Core, which took some getting used to but was a fun system.
Well how about watching the trailer that shows some of the battle system before getting hung up on words you barely understand?
so if we are going to be the regular ending to 13-2 serah’s dead and noel is stuck in the past? and fang and vanille are still naked ice sculptures? and last but not least sazh’s son never ages?
saw the trailer, it looks pretty, but i hope the story is solid in deliver and in substance.
we get multiple endings again, which is stupid because they said that we was going to get a happy ending at first o_O
one thing is confirmed though, we are getting multiple play through’s…whether that is a good thing or not has yet to be seen…
also remember time paradox’s and anomalies haven’t been completely fixed so people aging and what not is rather irrelevant because hope kinda made tech to put people in cold sleep to arrive in X year so ya…also the setting for LR:XIII is also new so we should take that with a grain of salt~

[]To travel between places quickly you can use the monorail system, or just go walking.
[]Things are connected in a typical open-world-like fashion.
[]They’re working on expanding the world right now.
[]They began by laying out each map and now each is going through various adjustments.
[]Regarding each continent, they’re doing each one by one and now they’re having fun figuring out how to connect them.
[]In Final Fantasy XIII, each day had 26 hours, but since stuff happened, and the time of each day has diminished to 24.
[]The game ends in 13 days, as we all know, but whether you can go beyond 13 days or not is a secret. If you play skillfully you can clear the game in about 2 or 4 days.
[]Because of that there are many different ways to get to the ending.
[]While the ending doesn’t really change, the things that happen before like events and such do, which makes multiple playthroughs fun.
[]Battles are controlled via pushing buttons, this way you don’t have to pay attention to menu selections but you do have to keep a close watch over your ATB bar.

[]Lightning’s new costume is designed by Tetsuya Nomura.

[]You can customize Lightning’s appearance and ability considerably.
[]By defeating monsters, Lightning can earn points to increase her available time, and items to strengthen her equipment.
[]The battle system name has not yet been determined. Right now, they’re calling it the “Amazing ATB” battle system. Rest assured, it’s tentative.
[]Though you’re only controlling one character, it feels as if you’re fighting with multiple, according to the mag.
[]Monsters appear even in the city.
[]Black haze will appear in specific areas at certain times. The new area will become monster territory.
[]Half of the game’s monsters are new.

wtf, been playing 13-2 and you can only play between these two whores?
Only those 2, but the best part of the game is the monster capturing.
Yes XIII-2 was reduced to pokemon without the complex randomness of values and natures. However that is were most of the meat of the games new mechanics come into play.
Noel and Sarah are a far cry of what the l’Cie you played in Original XIII(Stat and versatility wise) however the monsters and more focused and customizable Paradigms have to make up for it. Because you can only have 3 monsters in your Paradigm deck at one time means that you have to think about what monsters are better for overall versatility then just specific battles(even though you will build monsters for specific battles later). Monsters themselves are simple enough tho because most monsters can be caught over again if you mess up their build, so you can always catch another.
Monster Fusion is pretty much the main thing you want to focus on, Unless a skill is Locked with a padlock, you can pass-on the skill to another monster by Fusing/Feeding it to another monster, the main monster will inherit the skills of the fed monster, so feeding same type monsters with great passive abilities is a good way to go, however there are some really technical builds for DLC Monsters which are not only hard to get(low drop rate), but from my knowledge(not 100%) you only get them once per save file so it’s best you save up/farm the best materials for them.
Also Feral Links are pretty much the make it or break it for monsters late/post game because of the challenges in the DLC Missions as Cloudburst(RAV), and Yashini(SYN) are great because of their abilities, Chinchu is everyones favorite COM monster.
But you can be like most people and dumb-down the battle system and skate through the game on easy just by mashing auto-battle o_O
I really don’t understand stating it’s deep or technical when you barely need to shift for any of the main story quests.
All it really did was become a dumbed down Pokemon and remove the really stupid OP shit from previous games.
Trying to argue it’s deep or technical is fucking dumb because it’s neither.
Don’t misunderstand me,7 while deeper and more versatile was not really technical either.
There has not been a actual hard ff since like Ff1(nes)due to some of the super random shit in that game.
You guys don’t know pain until you fought for over an hour only to get rubbed.

It’s technical because monster capturing becomes a heavy strategy. As you go on you will be forced to hunt down specific monsters and build them with specific skills. It’s not easy by any means, some monsters are hard to find/rare and hard to catch, additionally costly to buff up.
Chichu is the strongest in game com monster out there, he totally replaced my gold chocobo but eventually i swaped him for COM-Lightning. Com-Lightning is like Chichu on roids. I consider Rav Lightning > Cloudburst because of her versatility but i still choose cloudburst over her due to that FL link. Cloudburst and Chieftain with feral speed II can fill in the missing SYN department very well. Is there a tier list for monsters?
Still fucking about with it but isn’t Odin actually better then chi?
Also I don’t mean to imply that 13 2 is not fun.
it’s actually the most enjoyable one for me since 9.
It’s just a silly ass story.
But Noel is the best addition to the series since 9.
The cast from 10 12 and 13 was utterly forgettable.
Lightning sucks, hope was awful, snow had potential but he Tidus’s it up to much.
Van was pure bad fan service.
Nigga with a gun was a poor mans barrette.
Fang was cool but she should have been the lead.
My only issue with Noel is that he whined a little to much about fucking up Caius.

Don’t forget about ~Vanille-chan~
I like her for all the right reasons, though.
Regarding the monsters…don’t try leveling any of them until you really know what you’re doing…and you should probably research who the best endgame monsters are of each paradigm (including and excluding the DLC ones) and then read the guide that tells you how to optimally build those ones.
You also don’t want to overlevel some other monsters because you will be fusing them later on, and you should only fuse them at a specific level to transfer specific skills to your other monster.
Generally no. Chichu is really the hard hitter, that guy will just stay on the opponent with massive damage going in it’s face. Odin’s good though, he also has a good FL that increases the chance of capturing hard monsters.
Monster tier list IMO is:
Com: V-Lightning, Chichu…
Rav: Rav Lightning, Cloudburst, Blue Chocobo
Sent: Goblin Chieftain, maybe snow or silver chocobo
SYN: Yakinishi, Purple Chocobo, Sazh
Sab: Nabaat, Black Chocobo
Med: Flanitor, White/green Chocobo

I got the Assassins Creed Costume for Noel and i’ve been wearing it on him for months now. I totally forgot that it wasn’t his original look.
