The Final Fantasy XIII series thread. Black people sold separately

Yep. Has a star next it and all.

Which spear did you upgrade from?

Dismantling a maxed Kain’s Lance upgraded from a Taming Pole gives you no traps.

Upgraded from a Bladed Lance or Partisan and dismantling gives you only 2 traps.

Maybe that is the tier list for after you beat the game because during the game I didn’t really find much of a use for vanille except for death spam on the adamantose which i really only did a few times. Other than that I would stick with lighting for the crazy stagger she can get and hope for his heals and then have fang be your commander. I guess I never really gave sazh a chance though he was just so bad at the start of the game i forgot about him.

I agree with Snow though I never really found a use for him I am more of an all out damage person then a defensive type.

Of course.

Ain’t the principle of the tier lists on fighting games is when you have 2 high level players (meaning a cap), then the one with the better character would win most of the time on a first to 10 matchup when considering all their character can do?

Same applies in a RPG, with the difference that the cap is set (Lv.99, Full Sphere Grid, Full Crystarium, etc) .

There is no way to rank the characters without knowing what they all can do and their final stats and this doesn’t happen till the Crystarium is filled in this case, meaning postgame.

There are clear differences at the end but before that it ain’t a big deal.

I guess that’s it. I upgraded from the Taming Pole. FML.

So Legend, you test out Pansy Boy’s Last Resort yet?

I really want to see whether he’s worthwhile to use, cause so far I think he’s useless.

Prolly a silly ?uestion coming from somebody who has the guide.

No matter how many times you complete a mission you only get the reward drop only once right? I was reading online that you can spam the rewards but I was like the strat guide doesn’t say that @ all.

I think they meant you can spam secondary rewards, which usually is bomb shells or bomb cores.

correct, you will allways get the secondary reward, however the monsters themselves sometimes have a chance of dropping something good.

yep, shells and cores are perfect for low level weapon/accessory upgrades.

Or do Mission 24 in the Tower (The mark is right next to the statue) so you can farm for a Moonblossom Seed which sells for like 6K. I think this is better to do before you go to Chapter 12

Yep thats what I thought. Guess I’ll grind a lil more then go and beat the game already. I just dont want my experience to come to a end. Oh well trying to complete the hunts will keep me busy plus just max out my team. ff13 has been the truth thru and thru, not perfect but it should not have gotten half of all this hate i saw at first.

I can’t get these fucking turtles to drop Traps for me. I’ve killed about 20 so far and they rarely ever drop anything even when I have my Connoisseur Catalog and Collector’s Catalog equipped. FML

it takes a while, I killed a bunch then would do quests then kill some more. Then I finally got my 1st trap, I’ve only gotten 3 so far. I get platinum ingots at a decent rate, but not as often as I would like. half the time I either get nothing or deceptisol. I’ve killed enough of these things that everyone is leveling up their last crystarium right now, lol.

get used to that yo, i probably killed 100-200 turtles before my first trap, then it just started raining them till i didn’t even have enough gil to use all the traps i have. i’m actually disapointed anymore when a trap drops, i’m like FUCK that could have been a P.ingot.

to put it in perspective, the base trap drop rate from everything except long gui’s (5%) is a measely 1%.

yeah I started to actually grind out my crystarium but after maybe 30 minutes I realized how fucking long it would take to not only get 6 traps but enough platinum ingots to raise all my weapons to level 100, and/or give me a good cushion to buy the catalysts I need to make all the accessories. Then I figured I would easily max out my crystarium while farming for all that. I really wish money would drop from enemies again, that would make this soooo much easier even with the shitty trap drop rate.

Well, it seems like the save files for the PS3 version of XIII are finally hackable. I may go down this route instead of wasting my life away hoping that the turtles will drop stuff for me.

Just finished the game. Wow. FF13>>>

Im currently doing hunts now. On #34. They all have been kinda easy so far…but I know thats about to change. Next time i get time to play im going to pull another all-nighter.

yeah a lot of those early ones aren’t even too challenging if you do them during Chapter 11, so I can imagine them being simple if you’ve already beat the game. But you’re right, the difficulty will ramp up.

Anyhow, I leveled Sahz’s weapon to 100. started working on upgrading my Kain’s Lance (from Dragoon Lance). still only gotten 3 traps to drop, and my luck on the platinum ingot seems to be going down, I had way too many deceptisol or no drops when I beat those damn turtles.

which mobs drop perovskite?

also, do collector catalogs stack effect?

it’s the big armored looking soldier dudes in the area leading up to orphan, unfortunately you can never go back there -_-;
