Forums - Gaming Discussion - Just Platinumed FF13-2 in 46 hours...Shortest FF I have played to 100%!

Lol easily possible without a guide.

I will say though that the shorter time is in some ways to FF13-2s benefit. FF13 it was utterly ridiculous how you could 5 star the last boss then need to spend another XX hours odd grinding to hit max level and be able to beat some of the tougher foes. In 13-2 I found it much better balanced where upon completing the game you can manage against the easier sidequests and beating the easier sidequests lets you level up enough to handle the tougher ones. That was definitely an improvement.

On the down side almost nothing in 13-2 requires any strategy at all. The only one that comes to mind being the immortal where you really need to think of a good strategy. Then there were 2 battles that basically required utterly ridiculous levels of turtling -_- One was a joke where just switching between Med/Sen, then Sab/Sen was basically the only way to beat it and was beyond tedious. Otherwise everything else can be beaten with just Com/Rav/Rav then Com/Rav/Med (or if you want to be cautious Com/Med/Med). I barely even touched the Sab/Syn roles for the entire game.

That's how like, every hard optional boss in FF is though. You can obliterate the final bosses in FF7, and 9. But still be no match for the weapons, or Ozma. Or Trema in X-2. Or Yiazmat in FF12 etc.

A lot of fights are a lot shorter if use those roles. Particularly with a Synergist Monster.

I haven't beaten everything though.

Reasons why I believe completing this game in 46hrs without some kind of a kind is not possible.

Paradox endings
Complete Bestiary

The shortest for me was X-2... though I didn't beat that one secret dungeon but still I did get 100% completion (theres like 110 percent available) everything in 28 hours Only I used a guide. FF7 I did everything in like 50-60 hours... 70 with FFX (US version though). except for the ruby and emerald weapons because that was just tedious. Because that involved copious amounts of grinding to have a chance.

I'm at 42 in XIII-2 with 85/160 fragments. It's defininetly one of the shorter ones.  Though, definetely not as short as X-2.

You 100% FFX-2 in 28 hours...How is that possible?

Again, without a guide I refuse to believe that's possible.

That was like my 3rd time.
And with a guide and there's a 110% available.
I didn't beat Trema, or that abyss place in bevelle. Which adds like 200 levels. And 10's of hours. So I kinda didn't really get 100% the game just says I did.

So basically you corner cut and I assume you used a guide or have inside out knowledge of 10-2 in which case what you did is called a speed run.

Do we have to get all the monsters for the platinum? If so I don't think I'll try and get it.
