Easy solution for those if you feel like "cheating"

[Ratatapa]

Wait lightning max lv is 13 ffs lol

[vadre]

Her stats are pretty high though, I'm still using her being as I don't have an alternative RAV with 6 ATB. 2 Thundagas straight off the bat mince the shit out of the stuff ive been grinding for essence and orbs, especially after feeding her another good RAV mob.

Edit: Just got Amodar, has anyone used him much? I cba to invest in him really if he's not great, he doesnt seem to have any unique skills aside from his feral unlike Lightning. Pretty pleased it only took 4 tries to get both of them, though.

[Alkar]

If any other XIII character is added the roles are kinda obvious:
Snow> COM
Fang> COM
Vanille>SAB
Hope>RAV
Sazh>RAV
Unless they want to mess up with their unique attacks this is what we'd probably get.
I'm hoping for more unique monsters and if they have to add these characters at least make the battles more interesting. For Snow they could add a DLC fight with the whole Team NORA for example, Vanille and Fang could stick together or fight with their Eidolons (more Eidolons added to the Monster list considering we only get Odin), etc.
I'm hoping for a Malboro and other classic bosses like Shinryu or Ultima/Omega Weapon. Old villains would be nice as well... I suppose Ultimecia would fit the whole time setting of the game.

Edit: DLC out in Europe. It's 2 € and not 3 € which is a nice surprise. For some reason the game doesn't detect any DLC from its own menu.

Are Lightning & Amodar one time only crystal drops like Chichu or the Silver Chocobo or can they be obtained again if you infuse them.

[shukudai]

I haven't seen much posting about Amodar at all anywhere, assumption being that people don't want a fat guy with no personality, and if they get Lightening first, just stop.

Like Omega they can be fought anytime you want and obviously tamed again.

i dont think the Role matters for the unique abilities since they're not role abilities but feral links.
which is one cool feature about this system. its why u can have RAV mobs casting a whole bunch of buffs on the entire party and so on.
I'd think the full-atb-abilities will stay as feral links, and that each of the 6 original characters be given one of the 6 unique roles each.
Amodar is an extra, but a really cool one at that.

won pretty easily but i'm well developed. no crystals but not in a hurry to level yet another monster.

[Alkar]

Well Light's special attack is a Ravager ability and she is a Ravager in this. I'm simply pointing out a possible outcome.
I'd rather get other monsters and not a bunch of copy pasted characters from the previous game.

[Aito]

I was wondering, am I unable to fight Faeryl again because even when I close the gate he doesn't appear and I want to achieve the other live trigger reward.

[Tyrath]

What levels do I need to be to be able to take on Lightning and Amodar?

[MoogleAura]

Finally beaten it. Wow at the ending. :D I really expected another X-2 with this game but this has really impressed me. Question about final boss:

Spoiler: show

I beat it 1st try but it took like 40 mins to beat with the dragons re-spawning every few mins. I didn't grind CP though so my characters may have been weaker than they should have been. Did it take anyone else a long time to beat?

Are there any decent guides available online that give the locations of certain fragments? I can't find anything on GameFAQs yet and the pages on IGN & Gamespot seem to be place holders for now. I probably should just go buy the official guide now I've beaten it. :D

The slot machines are annoying me though. :/ How much am I supposed to win for the fragments? I read that you can't obtain it by just buying tokens with gil.

[Mugmug]

Finally beat the game as well! The final boss was easy, I found the regular battle vs the Proto-Behemoth 10x harder.

I didn't try to over level myself and I got the achievement and beat the final boss in like 2 mins

Time to collect all 160 Frags and see what this "real" ending is all about.

EDIT::

Ok I just -had- to watch the secret ending on youtube... Basically nothing new but still hilarious. I must say Caius is prob the best Villain next to Kefka! Nobody can take that clowns spot.

[Gokulo]

@Moogle You can. You can't get the Casiono Trophy for buying Coins. But you also need to play enough to obtain the random fragment from slots. Just use a rubber band or something to hold R1 down and leave the game playing slots for some time D:

@Worldshaker Don't expect too much ^^; It's only a small additional cut scene, not a different ending.

[Appie]

If any other XIII character is added the roles are kinda obvious:
Snow> SEN
Fang> COM
Vanille>SAB
Hope>MED
Sazh>SYN

ftfy

This is what was considered their "main" role in XIII iirc. Sazh gets Haste the earliest. Snow is a powerhouse for a SEN and Hope not only fits the role of background healer well in stats and abilities but also how he acts ingame =)

@MoogleAura

Spoiler: show

Yeah, 30-40mins is pretty standard for not being overleveled.

edit: lol had to manual search the DLC (I tried that this afternoon too) to get it to show up. Why is the EU store so shit (or at least the UK one?) On the US store I can just go to the option "Search all by title", select a letter and done, yet there is nothing like that on the EU store, if I want a trailer, a theme or whatever I need to browse seperate menu's. Am I missing something or is this just stupid?

[Melena]

Ok, the clock puzzles can eat a giant bag of dicks. FUUUU @ that shit. Oh and I think I may have over leveled. Unlocked Phoenix Arrow and Meteor Javelin and I only now just finished gathering the stupid stones that are needed to keep the new pulse floating i the air.

[Gokulo]

How did you come up with Phoenix Arrow :D

[Uzor]

I've a question; How do I get in to the NE part of Oerba? There's a lake there that I can't enter either by foot or by chocobo. There's several treasures I can see out there (that I need to use the moogle special ability to "synch" them, so I can't moogle throw), but I can't get to them.

[miokomioko]

Chances are, if there's a chunk of map you are completely stumped as to how to reach it, it will be accessible in a different time. Especially if there's time-distorted items too far away to get at, as they are made that way so you can't simply throw Mog out there to nab 'em.
