Final Fantasy XIII-2

[Splintered]

I have never even attempted to get the "hold all items/weapons/accessories" achievement. Just getting tier 3 weapons made me want to hurt myself, I don't think my sanity could stand trying to get everything.

I used Vanille's death strategy to mine the Turtle thing back in Eden. I just restarted the fight if Death didn't work by the time it stood back up. Worked decently for me, the only real problem I had was the terrible drop rate. But like you I accidentally changed all those into Long Gui after the Titan trials and was pissed.

The Ochu I beat with instastagger, I just wanted the Growth Egg and I hate that bastard so much. I later went back to beat him without any tricks although even at max crystarium he was still annoying.

The only fight I can't beat without cheating is that damn Cactaur. I spent an entire day trying to beat that fucker until I looked up how to instantstagger it. Ugh.

. I think it might have been during one of the times you have to fight the three tonberries...

Death works on them? I should have tried that. When I beat the fight with that one toonberry I was like, "Oh man I must be awesome." So when three came out I was like, "Whatever, smalltime." I still don't understand how they decimated my team. I eventually just used the evade shroud to get a free preemptive attack and stagger all three at the same time. Only way I could beat them .____.

Like I said, I'm pretty sure I used Death on them once, but honestly I can't remember 100%. I *hated* fighting them. The very first time I fought them, I didn't have any problems, and beat them really quickly. Maybe I had them staggered, I don't know. This naively got me thinking that they weren't that bad. HA. Every other time I fought them I had so much trouble; they were constantly wrecking my party.

Does having it set to easy mode affect getting throphies? Because I want to play it again, but don't know whether to try for the trophies I missed on easy or finish them off on my original save instead.

 

[Madame Mayor]

There's an easy mode? I usually use the sister site to this one http://www.ps3trophies.org for xbox achievement stuff so the info you're looking for should be there.

 

[Strangelove]

It was added for the 360 International version, then they released a patch for the PS3 version to add it later on. Maybe it was one of those Japan-only 'International' things

 

[Madame Mayor]

Sounds like. But either way, I'd check those sites out to find out if difficulty affects achievements/trophies.

 

[Scias]

Needs moar Sazh, that teaser trailer wasn't enough.

And Gilgamesh.

I mean just imagine it, you're traveling through time and blahblahblah, and then... THE TRUE LORD AND MASTER OF TIME AND SPACE APPEARS!

GILGAMESH!

And if you think about it, his appearance would be kinda fitting with all these new details about the setting and time traveling and that Valhalla business..

 

[Tifabelle]

OMG YES. Yes please!

GILGAMESH!

All of a sudden I have new hope for this game.

If this happened it would be beautiful.

Just reading about the trophies makes me wanna cry. I stil lgot a long way to finish the Platinum. I sure as well hope they don't do the Treasure hunting thing again.... otherwise I might break something.

@Noel's Weapon
Um...I really don't know what to say. All these months and he still hasn't made an impression on me.

 

[Glaurung]

In XIII they kept Murasame for Yaag. Stupid move, since he didn't get to use it (I was veeeery disappointed we didn't have a Yaag/Lightning sword duel). I wonder if they will include any other sword by the same name this time.

 

[Fangu]

Totally OT, but I just found a really cool XIII fanart.
Edit: Well not totally, Yaag is in it

doesn't work

I can't seem to be able to post the larger version, but just click on the image and the larger one should show up. Edit: If you tried looking at the larger pic first, the same message might show up even here. I had to open the link in a different browser, and then it worked. Must be some cookie thing or something.

 

[Strangelove]

Jihl was such wasted potential

 

[Arianna]

Gilgamesh... Eh... No.

Besides wanting to collect all the legendary swords (?!?!?!), what's his purpose?

 

[Splintered]

Treasure hunter achievement/trophy would be better if

1. The weapon's upgrade system doesn't suck royally
2. If we could somehow keep track of which items we had.
3. If we could backtrack and get different items we may have missed.

I don't know if anything except 3 was addressed though.

TO GILGAMESH.

 

[Madame Mayor]

The charms and rings are the only items you actually have to be careful with. Sell those without having everything else in the item's family and the achievement is gone. Everything else can be purchased.

I had a word document with everything I needed, including a little check mark area. It was actually kind of fancy but I wish I had excel back then that would have been even cooler.

I saved it because I thought maybe someday someone else might need it.

EDIT: NINJAD, by a second. *shakes fist*

Nothing we haven't seen before but still to see it all in one go is sexy ;___;

 

[Fangu]

Is it just me, or does it look like that's the Japanese lip sync? Guess there is a chance the English isn't quite done yet, but they still released the clip. (I do hope so!! Because they already made/used the English lip sync technology for XIII, so expect XIII-2 to also have it)

Edit: Oh yes wasn't there just a press release saying the developers were done with the game, and were working on the US and European versions now?

Hahaha yeah, I saw the announcement on facebook, watched the trailer, thought to myself "I wonder if someone has put this up yet...". I figured Serah would have, but just in case, I was ready as well

 

[Strangelove]

now i really wish i knew french

not that i don't obviously understand the spoken dialogue, i just would like to know french

 

[Fangu]

Et moi!

I have started looking into it, but it's a project I have to put off for a while. I have to focus on learning stuff within the computer world first.

Lightning riding to battle...

*foams at mouth*

I'm so glad that the story for this game is actually somewhat serious versus what X-2 was (and I liked X-2).
