i'm in the SAME PLACE AS YOU!!

have you found good grinding spots there?

BTW I am out of phoenix downs....oh no!

@jneul

whenever he does destrudo ATTACK HIM LIKE CRAZY....after you attack him enough, he says "UGHH"...and the attack strength is halved.....so it won't kill you.

I killed him on my first go, he's pretty easy. Just make sure you have a COM/MED/COM + RAV/RAV/COM + COM/RAV/COM paradigm in your list, use Librascope at the beginning of the battle, take care of the heads first using RAV/RAV/COM to maximize damage, switch to COM/MED/COM as needed. 

Once the heads are down, focus on RAV/RAV/COM to boost up the Chain Link bonus. Make sure to heal if your health drops below 500, or his Thantalossian Smile can kill you in one hit. Make sure you stagger him before he does Destrudo, because any chain link bonus you had accumulated so far will be wiped out when he starts Destrudo (fucking cheap if you ask me). Once he's doing Destrudo, switch to COM/RAV/COM to maximize damage output in order to cut half of his attack damage. 

Bear in mind that my paradigms and party where based on Lightning/Vanille/Fang, so yours could be different. Also, I had a full CS level 6 too. 

just don't give up on him jneul, cus the plot gets sooooo interesting after the battle!

My main paradigms for my party of Light/Vanille/Fang are RAV/RAV/COM and COM/MED/COM. I tend to use COM/MED/SEN when I want to heal my party up to the maximum and COM/SAB/SAB to do the ultimate debuffing on enemies. I'm tempted to go the Synergetic route with Vanille, but those 3K per orb are a major turndow >_> 

My main Paradigms for Lightning/Snow/Hope are

Com/Com/Rav - Start battle
Rav/Rav/Rav - Until Staggered
Rav/Com/Rav - while staggered (unless I get them to 999.9% then I switch to first Paradigm)
Com/Sen/Med
Med/Sen/Med
Com/Sen/Syn

1.2M sales in the west. Woot!

and FF typically isn't front loaded either. This one should outsell XII. :D

anyways back to killing me some ugly ass turtles.

not in the tower not grinding anymore but before that..

the cave area had 1 or 2 spots that had great place to grind CP for low levels.. was getting about 10k CP every few minutes and about 50+k CP roughly every 10 mins on just 3 group of monsters can probably kill much faster if you got stronger weps.

oh that boss with the 2+ mill hp ... was eeeeeeasssssyyy!!

getting annoyed with the c'eith stone missions there is one at the top of the tower (Apex)  saying to slay a monster on the ground tier but I can't find it >__>

Lol got 3 of the 6 items for the final weapons so far from these Addys. They are dropping those more for me than the damn ingots. Lol.

The time I would save if this damned game would just save my Paradigms!
