Double post because it's an important post.

Beat the game, and actually not much to say. More to say on latter Heart-to-Heart convos, like Riki's idiotic plan to bring that giant crystal back to the village that seemed to involve having Reyn smash it with his head. When Riki got blown away by the geyser, that was good too. I wish they had elaborated more on who got together with whom at the end of the game, especially after hitting you over the head with Reyn-Sharla the whole time only to ultimately leave you hanging. Melia implied she was after someone else in her top-level conversation with Sharla too, but never specified who. Also would have liked a bit more elaboration on the nature of the New World. Almost needs a sequel if they could find an appropriate villain.

And now, i feel empty. What's next?

Not if I don't use them I will not have.

Well, have you considered what you've left to do? Tephra Cave, all the quests (at least the skill trees and the giants' treasure), the level 100+ enemies, 5* affinity with everywhere, getting everything in the 'other' part of the collectopedia...you've still much to do!

And what about the ending? You like? I thought it was was weird and 'out-there', but somehow...it worked for me. And some of the late H2H's are great. I like the one on the fallen arm between Dunban and Melly in particular.

Or you could play The Last Story.

There are 82-85 Gogol up on the canyon near the end of Satorl Marsh (if you go downriver from Soroal Statues, on the banks of that canyon is where they are), then once you pick up, you can get other mid-80s creatures around Satorl marsh and the Kromar on Kromar coast in Eryth Sea. That's how i did it. Got up to level 87 and steamrolled the final bosses.

Thank you Mr. Khan. I shall find those stinkin' Gogols and smite them. I tried level 84 Kromars in Eryth but two at once proved difficult at level 79. I got one of them though.

Woah...awesome! How'd you find this? Some of the interesting things:

-Shulk was planning on mass-producing Monado Replicas to increase Colony 9's army's firepower. Huh. Good idea.

-Not all that interesting, but Dunban's house is at the entrance of Colony 9 so he's there at the front line of battle. Like a boss. Too bad the mechon attacked in the middle of the colony and flew right past the entrance though, lol :P

-I feel the regeneration device is a little Deus Ex Machina but whatever. Regenerating genes is interesting though and I guess the High Entia are advanced enough to have that kind of technology. I wonder why they didn't (presumably) make more of these devices? Since the story says nobody knows where it is so I guess if they weren't mass produced then it makes sense why nobody really knows about it.

Also I like how after this scene they walk from Colony 9 to Gaur Plains. LOL if they aren't using quick travel that's going to be one long-ass walk to...wherever they're headed. They reach the Bionis Interior by using Junks from Fallen Arm, but how are they getting there? And why are the Machina so lazy that they won't give them a ride from Colony 9?

Very true. It is annoying. The best AI members are Sharla, Riki, Dunban and Reyn. Shulk is OK, and Melia is pretty poor.
