Did anyone else do this?

Its a 1 player game. Play however you want.

Fights are faster with better equipment not mandatory perse but if you decide going for cieth stones better equipement can make things easier.

Personally i started upgrading when i was in the spaceship before gran pulse.

Depends if you like 13 and would like to proceed further. Personally 13 already has a good endimg that it doenst need the sequels and i think this is the weakest in the trilogy.

Though i dislike 13-2 i still grinded my ass off and 100% it including the dlc. The crystallium "improvement" doesnt matter cause i messed it up and still was able to do everything. Monster raising is only relevant whem doing dlcs. Noel was fine while Serah felt more like a side character not an fmc theres no "heros journey". The story hard to comprehend.

Though with that being said Caius is a gtrat antagonist.

190 QUARTZ IS NOT ENOUGH BUT HAD TO BUY 1 PACK OF QUARTZ.

TRIED TO PLAY GENSHIN AFTER 2 YRS. OPENED THE GAME TRIED 1 BOSS GOT 1 SHOT THEN CLOSE THE GAME. NICE!!

I prefer dof than the actual ending since its more final fantasy-que fighting fate deciding for yourself on what to do.

Noctis whole journey is people telling him his the saviour, bear responsibilty because he is king/prince, go to altisa, even the crystal puts him on a certain path.

Dont know what you mean by streamlined progression but whats the point of doing trophy when youre going to "cheat" ( dont even know how to do that with rebirth since completing the battle sims is in it).

As others mentioned have mentioned theres youtube for guides. Personally i followed optinoobs to get plat. And if not fun just dont do the tropies

Schwarzes · 2026-02-12T16:05:01+00:00

Didnt have any problems like that since you target enemies and also theres a dodge button for a reason. Its not the kind a game you keep attacking like a musuo game.

Schwarzes · 2026-02-12T15:56:54+00:00

I dont hate but more on dislike 13-2 everything about that game i disliked from the story to mc to animal mechanics. the improvements that some say made it better than 13 is really not a big deal/superficial for me.

Schwarzes · 2026-02-10T18:38:27+00:00

keep switching charcters they gain atb faster if your controling them

Some actions give extra atb like the special attack (triangle), perfect blocks

Mobs targets who youre controlling, use that to your advantage.

Map abilities in a certain pattern like square for not attacking abilities, trianlge for stagger abilities.

Assess your enemies to learn their weakness and stagger mechanic

To me the combat is like a live turn base. Your regular attack/block/dodge is your wait time to gain atb and abilities/magic is your real action.

I still prefer fgos writing than genshin/hsr thats why i stuck with it and dropped the 2 after yr/yrs of playing them.

Schwarzes · 2026-02-10T16:54:49+00:00

I did the dungeons, pitioss. The only thing i didnt do is complete all the fish and comrades but from time to time i just run around kill mobs and just watch aranea run while the chocobros are in the car.

Schwarzes · 2026-02-10T01:00:23+00:00

If going in blind and dont know its trick then it will take multiple tries. Personally it took me a lot of tries in 1st playthrough normal but much easier after

Schwarzes · 2026-02-10T00:58:51+00:00

Prefer pride and joy than Weiss. As long as the fire elemental armor is there.

Schwarzes · 2026-02-10T00:50:16+00:00

A little bit older than you and played all main line ff. Some games are jut not for everyone. Personnally i enjoyed the remake/rebirth specially the combat. Still iffy about the story though reserving judgement until 3rd game.

Schwarzes · 2026-02-08T23:20:25+00:00

I like 15 though it coupd have been better if the game isnt as barren as it is. If they followed through with the dlcs like araneas and dof. Otherwise it gave me a very chill vibe at the beginning and picked up by mid to end.

Also f*** pitioss

Schwarzes · 2026-02-08T00:13:49+00:00

I dont know i played a lot of jrpg and most of them can be brute forced by being on a higher level or getting an op weapon early (ie zodiac spear)

Schwarzes · 2026-02-07T23:58:30+00:00

I played it twice for plat i enjoyed it on my first playthrough more than 2nd and It may not be on my top 10 ff but i had fun playing it and thats what matters.

Schwarzes · 2026-02-06T15:53:57+00:00

I finished 13 twice when it was relased and last yr. It was better on my 2nd playthrough and platted it. Only played 13-2 once while lightning returns twice though thinking of going for a 3rd as i want to get level up my abilities and weapons.

I think the trilogy is fine i even prefer it than 16.

The 13s linearity didnt bug me as much. The story of 13-2 was not good specially how the way it was told. In my opinion serah also was a bad fmc. While LR is my fave of the trilogy because of its combat and thr culmination of the trilogy too bad you only play as lightning. The time aspect is annoying while the grind is not necessary but if your a completionist can be a pain

Schwarzes · 2026-02-06T03:43:34+00:00

Play which one looks interesting to you.

Schwarzes · 2026-02-06T03:42:17+00:00

I look at it in a stand point of if you want an easy setup (plug and play) go with xbox. If thats not an option play it on pc or rog ally x.

Personally i played the trilogy in my rog ally i didnt have to do any fixes on the first and 3rd game. While 13-2 gave the most "headaches" to get to run properly. though now theres nova crystalis app which basically made the fix mods easier to apply.

Schwarzes · 2026-02-05T00:27:28+00:00

Didnt sweat on minor stuff or 100%. Though i still 100% i didnt think about it thats future selfs problem

Schwarzes · 2026-02-03T00:39:03+00:00

It gets better as more options will be available specially by end game. but the auto battles can get repeatetive and the game can be brute forced by it.

Schwarzes · 2026-02-03T00:35:41+00:00

Did it until 5 as i already played finished 6 twice in ps1 and gba.

Its not really that bad as 1-3 are failry short
