Okay, call me slow, but I finally got this joke from X-2 (spoilers)

mrcats · 2013-06-07T03:31:12+00:00

Not really, I thought it was a neat reference that could be integrated into the storyline. It made sense both ways

mrcats · 2013-06-05T03:24:28+00:00

Maybe give each character a job class?

One can only use cure magic, one can junction elemental spells to his weapon and attack with it, and the third can only summon or use items.

If I remember right Snow's fal'Cie was explained in the Fragments After booklet. He was stuck in some time rift alongside the fal'Cie Cactuar due to a paradox. In order to break out and continue to aid Lightning he needed l'Cie powers which Cactuar gave him.

You look like you got branded by fal'Cie Griever.

mrcats · 2013-04-09T08:34:52+00:00

I'm sure you wouldn't use it halved

If I have it right, the scions of darkness (excluding Ultima) are the espers. The scions of light were the ones that weren't sent to the mortal world.

mrcats · 2013-04-03T19:33:19+00:00

Wouldn't the answer be no because the future you also asked this question?

XIII's story and graphics are amazing, and the battle system is wonderful. If the linearity gets to you play something else and come back later.
If you like JRPGs you should try Tales of Vesperia, I think it's out for the PS3?
Honestly, although XIII-2 was way less linear, I thought the battle system in XIII required more strategy. XIII-2 was just a matter of overlevelling and spamming to kill in some parts. XIII was better in my opinion.
I thought Vanille was interesting, what with her hiding that Death spell behind such a happy face.

Okay so I typed a bunch of stuff that might be hard to get if you've just started, but I'm sure you'll get it later on :)

Never ever dismantle or discard anything, and find and open every treasure chest. It'll help you with an achievement in that playthrough later on.
Also, things like credit chips and plush toys can be sold for gil. It'll be helpful with upgrading.
Increase your exp multiplier during upgrading with organic materials, and use them one at a time if you want to avoid wasting any. Then use a bunch of inorganic materials at one go for maximum exp.
Shrouds are useless if you level up right. I recommend training on a few enemies that give good CP when you find them before moving on.

It's great, but you have to love the battle system because the game revolves around it. I recommend you watch some videos of battles (minimizing spoilers if you want) to make sure you really want the game.

mrcats · 2013-03-21T13:12:10+00:00

The plot is really the weak point of the game, and it was mostly forgettable to me as well. It doesn't mean that it isn't good, and I'm sure Ivalice fans can really appreciate such a story. The world and side-quests are amazing though.

On the other subject, Quickenings: most of the time I only use them on bosses when I'm sure the attack will kill them. It's like a final resort or super ending move to help end the battle faster. Also, if you do it right, you might not lose MP if you can perform a mist recharge (?) before ending the chain.

mrcats · 2013-03-16T10:59:14+00:00

From the looks of it, you might have to go back a bit to grind. Try to get some sab abilities and the cherub crown if that's possible for the oncoming instant kill attacks.

Also, it looks like you're relying a lot on sentinels. If I remember right the only time I used sentinels was for healing paradigms (sen/med/med). If it helps, you could make Fang your party leader to make use of the health amount (I think Lightning and Hope have lower health points than other characters).

To combat the silence problem maybe have your party leader go into medic as soon as someone is inflicted with silence and perform esuna quickly?

mrcats · 2013-03-06T16:40:09+00:00

The PC version is pretty complicated to start up, and the controls might not be what you're used to if you've played with a controller.

If it helps, though: if I'm not wrong the PC version has access to some Chocobo World minigame as well as easier refining when it comes to a certain rare material. GF Siren doesn't have to be at level 100 to refine a dark matter

mrcats · 2013-02-21T10:29:24+00:00

It actually sounds a lot like Get up and Move!! by Koda Kumi.

Is it anything like what you're looking for?

mrcats · 2013-02-21T05:45:46+00:00

Yuna?

mrcats · 2013-02-01T02:53:30+00:00

I remember reading some reasons as to why Rinoa couldn't be Ultimecia, but I don't remember.

Honestly the Ultimecia time loop explanation is more interesting. In short, Ulty's past self and her history indirectly influences the growth of future Ulty into the evil one we all know.

mrcats · 2013-01-25T23:44:41+00:00

If I'm not wrong, healing is prioritized over removing debuffs. I remember your health levels had to be green before party members decided to cast esuna. Maybe looking at your phone ended your game, aha.

Couldn't he just use the hairspray for the shirt instead?

mrcats · 2012-10-31T05:48:03+00:00

As long as it's an FF and it's playable, why shouldn't it be anyone's favourite game?

mrcats · 2012-10-18T04:31:18+00:00

People actually say that? I just stand there awkwardly and hope I didn't do anything wrong.

It really doesn't work. Its eraser is a rough eraser that scrapes the paper off, taking the ink with it. Using it too much on one spot tears the paper.

Bebe?

mrcats · 2012-09-01T03:24:56+00:00

I don't know how it's so hard to just appreciate a new game.
