FFXIII-2

wtf at dl content, seriously. weapons and shit... I miss the old days of unlocking shit thru skill not rl monies.

[Souj]

so throughout the whole game you only play as Serah and that brown haired guy and there are no other useable characters except pets?

[Tyrath]

so throughout the whole game you only play as Serah and that black haired guy and there are no other useable characters except pets?

Yes. Serah + Noel + Moogle (changes into monsters).

[Spira]

Serah and Noel. Mog is Serah's weapon, and she can also control monsters - 1 at a time, but you can pick from 3 within battle.

Lightning is only a tutorial battle character.

Snow fights with you in one area but you have absolutely no control over him

[Souj]

Is that as horrible as it sounds?
An RPG with only 2 playable characters?

[Trocian]

Is that as horrible as it sounds?

No.

[Hyan]

How passionate are you about RPG's having more than 2 playable characters?

I couldn't give two shits myself (rather, I like not having to choose who to play as and/or micromanage in this particular case) but of course for every person like me there are the opposite cases.

[Souj]

If it does it well, I'll be fine with it. I just can't recall any JRPG that only had 2 playable characters.

Why do you assume that DLC and being rewarded for skills have to be mutually exclusive? You need both to unlock Omega just to name one thing. And the game is full of non-DLC content as well.

DLC = easy money. Videogame companies like easy money. It's how things work now.

[Spira]

just picked this up and i'm about an hour in.

forgive me if this has been asked before....

does the game seem a bit 'laggy' to anyone else? from the cutscenes to just general maps, i feel theres a bit of a stutter every so often. ps3 version here

i felt the same at first.. maybe it was just that particular cutscene at the start with all the QTEs. didnt feel it much afterwards, or even so not jarring enough to affect the whole experience. either that or my eyes just got accustomed to the new framerate

[Appie]

Very minor spoiler. There's a dialogue choice, within the first hour'ish of the game, you can make for a funny exchange.

Spoiler: show

When Noel asks "Who is this Snow guy?" and you have 4 options, choose "He's this really cool guy" for some-really-weird-somewhat-lol-worthy-dialogue lol. Caught me off guard.

There's lots more of these options throughout the game. SE seriously had some fun with the convo options.

And not to backseat mod, but do we seriously need 2 topics about the same game, with practically the same type of posts?

Fucking GAME.co.uk are not selling this on their website for some reason, sucks cause I am a lazy bastard and like they fact they are awesome with preorders.

Now I have to go into game after work D:

It's right here on game.co.uk?
Unless you wanted the pre-order bonus pack, Collector's or Crystal edition, seems they are out of that, but they did have them on their site before.

Don't worry, with all the people eating up this DLC like mindless sheep, and all the sad people buying multiple copies of the game from different regions or w/e to "catch 'em all", you can be rest assured that SE will continue with this kind of business model in the future!

It's not like it benefited them to not do so before... people would bitch anyhow. Just like a game without glitches - it's to be expected but if there are some it doesn't affect the score or sales in any way so what's the point?

[Spira]

omg lol i got chichu and its so uber. late bloomer but crazy base stats. by lv30 it surpassed my Noel
stacked up atk and its so much stronger

am wondering if i shd invest in other COMs.. like

Spoiler: show

chocobo and odin

which seem like they could be good. Chichu's Meteorite is so sexy during stagger tho.

experimented with a bunch of new RAVs. i quite like the ones that have aoe buff feral links, like Circuitron and that goblin lookalike Ace. that one gives protect shell faith and i think something else. very useful for quick buffs.
gonna grab the guidebook tomorrow. hoping it will have all the details for all monsters so i don't have to manually test for good ones.

also cant wait for DLC

[Appie]

Chichu is one of the best (or the best) you can get for that role, so investing in others for that same role is something I would only consider if you want to burn gil =)

Here's a guide to make your baby Ochu a powerhouse:

I loved the book this game came with. It helped refresh my memory of the ending and extend on it obviously. Already loving this game.

[Ramor]

Hate to say it, as little Lightning as there is (so far, I'm maybe 2-3 hours in? but expecting no more until the end-ish of the game) I'm actually really loving this game. The soundtrack so far is somewhat throwing me through a loop, not really used to lyrics in a FF soundtrack except for generally important areas and moments, can't wait to see how it fleshes all out.

Also love the battle system changes, not hugely different from FFXIII but there's quite a bit different from the original to keep me interested in it, wonder what awesome mobs you can get for your team later

I want an Adamantortoise from FFXIII, just sayin'.
