I can't stand how the characters keep getting split up. And don't say it's for story reasons. It's for no reason at all so far (chapter 4).

Just when Snow gets his Eidolon, it shifts to stupid Sazh. Just when Lightning gets her Eidolon, it shifts to stupid Sazh again. I don't want to play as Sazh! I want to try out my new Power Ranger Zords! There's absolutely no reason for the party to NOT be together right now. They all have the same goal.

What a retarded design choice.

Actually its so that you get USED to the different roles

if that change wasn't there I wouldn't know how to use the ravager role properly.

Later on its for story reasons.....right now its for you to get used to the different roles & different combinations possible through the ingenious paradigm shift system!

Oh and don't expect too much "power" from the eidolons lol.

Pfft. Any character can learn any role. Maybe not early on, but that wouldn't be an issue if it let you choose your party.

They can but when they do the CP cost for that certain role is riduclous.....its like 20,000 CP to progress & so on.

The characters are gonna stay split up for a looooooooooooooooooongggggggggggggg time (I'm talking several hours here)......

Right now it does kinda make sense (Chapter 1 + 2 + 3 spoilers), TBH Lightning right now seems to hate the other characters, so she doesn't really care what happens to them.....Hope thinks he'll be safer with lightning....if I was in his place I'd agree cus on the other hand you have a dude with a chocobo nest in his hair & a girls who is ermm weird lol.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Walking around, minding my own business and some bigass big monster one hits me.

Aparently you need to fill the GESTALT meter before starting GESTALT mode to be able to get massive attacks

I never manage to fill it though.

Either way the summons are so underpowered it hurts.....its my least used summons in a FF game ever (apart from FF12....if you could call those abominations summons )

I mean I played FF8 1 month ago & I was spamming GF's in every battle.....its weird to just NOT use them!

How many here actually summon Eidolons in battles? I don't.

I used Shiva once in chapter 7 to 5/5 a group of three snipers and the hover bike enemies. Going SEN/RAV would take too long (time limit was 2:15). Other than that, I rarely use them. Pretty much it's the same in every FF, summons are pretty and awesome, but rather useless :P 

I used summons all the time in FFX. I spent all my gil at the end of the game to one hit kill Jecht with Yojimbo. Saved me a lot of trouble :P

Yes, and people would use the KOTR+Mime+W-Summon exploit to ease their way through the weapons on FFVII, that didn't make the summons any less useful :P 

You never needed summons to pass anything in any FF game, in some rare expections that were mentioned, they could be used to ease, but it was never a prerogative. 

In FFXIII you don't need to use eidolons, but they can help you 5/5 some battles that would be prolonged beyond the time limit, but it's not a necessity nor the game actually poses you a challenge that could only be overcome with summons. Just like in any other FF :P

Tell em about it

I was just walking minding my own business & these horrible cat wolve thingy's get the "warning flash" & come running towards me & growl loudly & attack!

In another bit those flying things suddenly swoop down onto me!

Seriously the animals must control their attraction towards, she's hot but she IS human.....things would never work out between a Feral & a Human!

When I used Shiva, I got both of them to their last 10 SP, with a full gestalt bar :P 

I had 40 attack points for the Gestalt mode xD
