FFXIII-2: Post Release Discussion

[Ratatapa]

edit : fuck me it<s a 6 not a 9

[Cichy]

You have a 9 in the circle, it should be 6

[Tidane]

Goddamn slot machine.

[miokomioko]

I was 1/3 on my Lucky Coin... lucky indeed. :3

[Tyrath]

Is there a max to how much I can raise my accessory capacity?

[Manf]

The cap is 100.

[Hellfury]

I can't seem to start the quests to kill Ochu etc. in Archlyte Steppe. The guide refers to a NPC quest starter by the chocobos, but I must be going full retard, because damned if I can find it, anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

[miokomioko]

I am not 100%, but it took me a while to realize I could get a chocobo from the lady outside their stables after taking care of the dragon thing. It could be after that because I got the Ochu and the other kill-the-hard-mob quest after that.

Try going to the Historia Crux and then coming back. 99% of the time that is the issue when stuff doesn't flag like it should. Edit: What Mioko said could very well be it as well. The quest starter for Ochu is the dude by the weather machine, by the way.

[miokomioko]

The quest starter for all of those kills is actually the dude by the weather machine, by the way.

Not for at least one of them. I don't remember which it was (I think Ochu), but I did get one from a girl down the stairs from him... possibly the same lady that asks for the wool.

[Manf]

You're right, the one centaur-machine-thing is from the wool chick. Edited my post.

Its the activation of all 4 of the Red cactaur stones that gives you access to the Ochu quest. (dont quote me on this not 100% positive, friend of a friend kinda insight)

Logic behind that I assume is to not give you a quest to kill something when you dont have access to the western area yet. (needs choco or anti-grav)

[miokomioko]

Was activating the cactuar statues what unlocked the crystal gate? Everything I did in Archelyte was over such a long span of time I lost track of what I did. I had always assumed there was another one behind the Adamantoise or something since I never got any kind of actual indicator that I activated them all.

[Enygma55]

Crystal gate is the activation of all the Green cactaur statues and the subsequent killing of its guardian. 3 total I believe, 2 hidden on west side under certain weathers.

[Manf]

Killing the 3(? I think it was) giant cactuars that spawn when you touch the green cactuar statues is what unlocks Ochu. Like 99.99999999999999999999% sure of that.

[Lonely]

Fuck Trapezohedrons and fuck Yomi. The drop rate is complete utter shit and who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to make you need 2 per ultimate weapon.

At least in the first one you could buy 1 with all the platinums you sell from the turtles rather than it being complete troll luck with a .3% chance.

[Ratatapa]

Fuck the special boss in Oerba 400AF so annoying

[Tyrath]

Trapezohedrons are back?

[Bregor]

Trapezohedrons are back?

Traps weren't a big deal for me in XIII, I got all mine before I was done farming Platinum Ingots all three times I played through the game. After I got 9 or 10 Traps I had to unequip my Connoisseur Catalog. I felt like Dark Matters were worse.

If I need to grind for them in XIII-2 I'm not going to be happy. Just finished Oerba 200AF and now in Yaschas 01X AF, so I'm nowhere close to that yet I'm guessing.

[Tyrath]

I actually had pretty good luck with Traps in FFXIII compared to what I heard of other people. And it still sucked lol So I'm hoping it won't be so bad with only characters to get weapons for this time.
