Yea, Hope gets it after chap 11 final boss, at which point Sazh is outclassed huge being that Hope blows his damage out of the water and has his best buff. Also while in the tower I obtained 2 sprint shoes via dismantle so I had Fang & Light starting with haste anyway, and using Hope or Vanille for higher damage output with Com/Rav/Rav I was ending most all battles before the auto-haste wore off, so again not needing Sazh.
I'm on chapter like 7 now, but I pretty much completely ignored the cutscenes from chapter 6(?) when Sazh and Vanille were in the forest area place. I dunno I just got bored of them :/
Playing the wrong game if you get bored of story driven CS's. Playing the wrong genre too.
I liked the beginning cutscenes and everything I just feel really lost with the story right now.
That's what happens when you skip shit and don't read logs. What's the point then?
In fact, the more story you read in the datalogs and the more cutscenes you watch, *GAAAAASP* the more the story makes sense! omg?
It's similar to Lost, where you're thrown into a situation with a group of characters and, through flashbacks and such, you reveal where they are from, how they got there, and their motives. Hence the "13 days."
Duh. I know it's my fault I'm not bashing the game or anything, I want to watch and understand but I don't know why I just can't keep my focus <_<. Have you ever read a few pages of a book then think to yourself damn i have no idea what I just read lemme reread it, that's how I'm feeling right now, must be from posting stuff on the forums too much.
Maybe you should pay attention so you can fulfill your focus and stop being a failure.
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY FOCUS IS DAMMIT. Do I protect the thing that hates me or do I kill it was I'm supposed to?!
Why does people seem to hate Hope so much? I love him personally, he's such an awesome Ravager. I have him with Auto-Faith and he just fucks shit up. I basically just do Blitz > Ruinga, and Hope follow up with a -ga spell and everything gets staggered. That is if there's any survivors.
Don't think people dislike any character due to their combat abilities.
Hope even manages to suck in battle, his HP is retarded low. That, in addition to his shitty character, just makes me more than happy to bench him 99% of the time. I have yet to use him outside of the game forcing me to use him when he decides to stop being a little bitch and be proactive.
Hope turns into one of the best characters to use later on. I hated him a ton too but meh.
I'll stop despising Hope when he stops getting one-shot by every big enemy/boss I've had him face.
Also, I'm not going to lie... the end of Ch.8 almost had me tearing up a little... as macho as I am.
Sounds like you're doing it wrong if your Hope is sucking.
Lol, I've 5-star'd every boss and mission up to 14 without Haste(except Ch.9 Bart. I had to use that Bravery/Faith/Haste item), and don't need it to 5-star normal mobs, so I'd say I'm doing it right.
