    Did anyone else actually enjoy doing at least some of the missions?

    I think the only thing that bothered me and most people about missions is that none of them were actually "Unique", most of them were just regular type mobs that you've already fought before. I think the only Unique ones were the two Tonberry Missions, at least I don't remember fighting any outside of missions.


    As for the harder missions, did anyone actually enjoy doing some of them, or were they too frustrating for most people to get any enjoyment out of them?

    I liked a couple of the Titan's Trials missions. Doing the Neochu, 3 Tonberry, and Attacus one was pretty fun doing it without many crystarium roles and better upgraded weapons/accessories.

    The one I liked the most was Mission 64 for the Gold Watch, that one was actually alot harder for me, but wasn't too hard. I just fucked up a few times switching to the wrong Paradigm when it does that whirlwind move(forgot name of it) that pretty much kills everyone.

    I still got 4 more missions left to do. Mission 58, 59, 60, and 62.

    Wicked Whirl is the name of his supermove. I enjoyed quite a few of the missions, not the repeats (fu Zirnitra) and such - agree the enemies should've been more unique though.

    I dunno, not really. I liked them alright but not more than other fights. the only one that comes to mind as an exception was the 2x Raktajiva (totally fucked the spelling), that was sorta fun. I did it with 2x * Witch's Bracelets and a * Entite Ring on each character, I can only imagine how hard it would be without them.

    I enjoyed some of them. I think all the Ce'ith missions were fun and those monsters were all unique. I remember that giant that emerged from the side of the cliff (forgot name) was pretty epic when I first saw him (until i fought him and realized how easy he was lol). But most of them were just time consuming.. Pick up mission in X location and spend 10-15 minutes getting to the spot where the mob was

    Vercintegorix or w/e is the only one that I considered epic.

    It's the only fight where I paid more attention to what I was doing than watching its HP bar go down so was kinda surprised when the fight stopped and I was like "Oh it's dead.".

    Ceith missions and the very 1st tonberry mission was the only ones I found enjoyable. Though I guess i'll count the Gigantaur fight as well, just because his intro was exceptionally funny.

    The others were just an annoying waste of time.
    I was really let down by the missions cause I really loved the ff12 hunts.
    13 failed big time in endgame. Your time was only spent either walking around everywhere from lame mission to lamer mission, or killing turtles.

    Yea, that's one thing I really loved about FF12 was the hunts, they kept me playing for a very long time and made me like the game even more than I did before.

    FF13 missions was kind of a let down, but whatever.

    The only ones I didn't enjoy were those against that bunch of stupid penguins that summon stuff like Juggernaut, effectively ruining your chances to 5-star them.

    Enjoyed a good number of them, think by far my favorite mission was #30 against all those bats. For some reason the music tied in with the endless horde just made it very fun for me.

    The last one was good, Gilgamesh was good, Cactuar was good, Tonberries were good.

    I was wondering the same too. The only thing I could think of is mission that unlocks Gilgamesh shop I think.

    Eh it's not that bad. I'd take ~24 Long Guis (1/4 drop rate on traps, so it's more or less accurate) over dozens of FF4 pink puffs anyday. Money for the trophy isn't an issue with the save>reload trick.

    If I didn't have such awful luck, I wouldn't have spent long farming at all really <_< most of the money I got, I got just from killing stuff that was in my way between Missions and stuff. While I don't think the postgame of FF13 is particularly good, it isn't just LOL FARM TURTLES like some people like to portray it as.

    I seem to be getting more Ingots than Traps, which isn't a bad thing, but I'd like to get at least one more Trap

    I enjoyed some of them, I also liked the fact that not only were you awarded a trophy for 5 staring them, but the extra theme for your PS3 as well. Extra motivation.
