FFXIII-2: Post Release Discussion

[Cichy]

Nvm I just read that it sucks so I'll pass up upgrading it, probably will still get him at some point. Did the Feral Link and all but w/e farming fragments for now.

[miokomioko]

I'm only at like the end of Ch.3 and have maybe 4 weapons for each character... But are they all going to be reskins or close to it? I want my XII weapon variety...

[Datonare]

Reskins all the way lol

edit: well i'm missing like 2 weapons, but i'm assuming those are reskin too

[miokomioko]

Reskins all the way lol

What a joke...

[Datonare]

Yeah, with only two characters I was hoping there'd be a few models at least, but ah well... not my biggest gripe with the game lol

[Souj]

fuck this clock puzzle.

Jesus... I was on stage 3. I had a 10number clock to solve, finally managed to do that by writing down the numbers on paper and pausing and then working backwards. And now there is a stage 4 with 12numbers...

[Maguspk]

Anyone know a good location for farming monster items, specifically the Power Orbs I need to upgrade the Chichu and then I guess Slivers after that.

[Souj]

@Time clocks... Wish I knew about this website before I spent about an hour on one.

I think I remember when you 1st go into Acadamia and

Spoiler: show

the Falcie transforms all of the people in Cieth, the Cieth drop Power Orbs. But you can't go too far into the level because after you run into Caius, it's all bigger cieth who i dont think drop Power Orbs

Go to Archelyte Steppe and first change weather to sunny, go around where the gate that you open with wild artefact is and run around fight Buccaboos. They are the blue moblin looking things and drop potent orbs all the time. Once you're done you want to change weather to rainy and go west to clearwater marshes. Run around where Ochu pops and fight catepillars and seamonks, those drop potent essence which is next upgrade. Also Minichus pop there and they drop potent crystal which is the next upgrade after that. I've spent like 6-8 hours in that zone and upgraded Chichu, Blue Chocobo, and Silver Chocobo to max level.

[miokomioko]

Good god I can't stand how rigged this slot machine is. Every single time my first two reels land on Microchu, the last reel always lands on Moogle>Chocobo>Cactuar top to bottom.

What does it mean when the arrows on the sides begin lighting up? The only thing I can assume is causing it is getting bombs on the 2nd and/or 3rd reels...? Or getting a sound-effect but no actual 3-in-a-row result from it... Makes no sense to me as nothing has ever come of it yet.

Similarly, why the hell do the reels occasionally darken and go wooosh? :/

Also, is there anything besides the machine's "mood" that might determine jackpot status?

[Sephiroth]

Anyone got a list of the best monster for each role? I'm trying to avoid levelling up monsters much until I get the better ones.

I'm currently using the flanitor for medic until I get the green chocobo. But for ravager and commander I'm still using monsters I got in the Bresha ruins area! I've not bothered with monsters for the other three roles.

[Spira]

i came up with a list for myself cos i was gonna do 2 per role..
this is with endgame in mind..

COM
Chichu
Tonberry
Miniflan
any Chocobo

RAV
Blue Chocobo
Apotamkin
i also like Buccaboo Ace and Cloudburst for the Feral Links in conjunction with decent stats

SEN
Bunkerbeast
Pulse Soldier
i also like Major Moblin for decent stats + Feral Link

SAB
never bothered with this before to be honest... Black Chocobo probably

SYN
similarly,
i think Gahongas and Yakshini

MED
Flanitor
Green Chocobo. white chocobo possibly just as good

[Ratatapa]

Any place with good XP to grind before last boss? keep loosing

[Gokulo]

Unlock the Double XP skill and just go farm anywhere in the later timezones.

[Hellfury]

Some of the jokes they put in here... AHAHAHA

Spoiler: show

I am reading a book about anti-gravity, it's impossible to put down

[Datonare]

About which enemy to use for each role, it wouldn't hurt leveling up most mobs you come across (well look at their first crystarium) and see if they at least have good passives/abilities to share. Leveling one commando and one commando only, even if it is the "best" one can still be made better by having it eat other monsters for their abilities.

Thanks.

I've just spent nearly two hours trying to get a blue chocobo. I've killed like 10 of them but I'm just not getting the capture. Must be very rare.

[Datonare]

Can anyone check to see if they have 2 Terraquatic mobs in their bestiary for Sunleth 300AF? This poorly translated list says there are, but it was wrong before about a time period and I can't for the life of me get it to spawn

Edit: of course i just get it now, lol

[Tobi]

While Blue Chocobo is indeed a good RAV, don't forget about Cloudburst either which is just as good, if not better when infused properly. Cloudburst also has the fastest casting speed. On top of that, Cloudburst isn't as annoying to catch either. Personally I'd get both a Blue Choco and Cloudburst, they're top 2 RAVs IMO.

For COM without a doubt Chichu is best.

For SEN there's lots of good ones, Pulse Soldier, Pulse Knight, Bunkerbeast, Silver Chocobo. Bunker and Chocobo are extremely well.

for SYN I'm not really aware of any good ones besides Yakshini and Purple Chocobo.

For MED Flanitor and Green Chocobo.

I'm clueless on SAB monsters.

All the above I listed are just my opinion, even though I feel they're best out of all in that category. I'm sure there's others that are just as good, but these are ones most noticeable and are indeed extremely good.

[Gokulo]

Oh man, I played all night today, didn't sleep 1 minute And then continued to play for the whole day, but decided to take a break now since I'm exhausted :D Only need to get the bestiary done, 99k damage, chocobo and casiono achievements to be done I think. Bestiary will be the worst of course :< Too bad they couldn't make it more helpful like sort by area or at least give total needed numbers for each category.
