lol, Okey sure is hard to please. I wonder what games he likes.

On a side note,

Adamantoise is a joke for me now, I destroy them with ease. All it takes is 3 TP to summon and it loses its legs. Form then on, its gravy.

BTW guys, if you're farming for ultimate weapons, its probably better to make a max kain's lance 1st and dissassemble it. This will net you 3 trapezohedrons (and 200k through moonblossom seeds) and thus save you a lot of money altogether. I have ultimates for Fang, Light, Hope and Vanille now though all are at their base level.

I think its better to simply make the ultimate weapons for every char you use 1st before trying to max them out because simply having the weapon nets you an extra ATB which is the most important thing. CP is easier to come by than gil when farming adamantoise so you can simply max out the CP board for stats.

My most proud accomplishment has to be getting the growth egg though even though I did it in the cheapest possible way lol.

Sorry guys, but I just don't think it's very good at all.

I'm trying to like it, but it's been over 15 hours and I'm still mashing X and walking in a straight line through increasingly unimpressive environments with, frankly, god awful cutscenes that I have to skip whenever someone else is in the room. Even the graphics are underwhelming.

Hopefully I can get a store credit tomorrow.

Everything you pointed is subjective to your experience and I'm sorry you're just not feeling the game, but graphics being underwhelming? What JRPG or RPG for that matter looks as good as FFXIII? If everyone, even the reviewers, agree on is that FFXIII is one of the best looking games on consoles, that's far from being subjective as graphics is something you can directly compare.

That just sounds like a very odd statement to give, probably due to the fact that the game is not meeting your expectations (whatever they were) and now everything in it looks bad to you, not being so. 

 

I don't get the mashing X complaint.....in other FF's the main button I use in battles is X

Mashing X is the most stupid complaint about the game that I've ever heard......its like people "want" to find mistakes.

@okedokey

well trade it in.....with the attitude you went into the game with.....it was highly unlikely that you would like it anyway.

I don't think you "tried" to like it all......ever since you got the game you have been complaining about everything.

Bad graphics....gimme a break.

_____________

ok going back to grinding on pulse & finishing missions.

Then maybe I can beat the chp 11 boss!

What I find funny is how he survived 15 hours in the game by X button mashing. I guess he X button mashed the Retry at the game over screen a lot of times too :P 

god knows!

@pristine

have you finished the game?

if not how did you get the growth egg, mission 55 is "inactive" for me right now?!!!!!!!!!!!

also I dunno how FFX is one of okey's favorite games (according to his favorite games list in his profile).....I mean he clearly must have skipped every cut scene in that game if he couldn't stand FF13's cut scenes



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Spoilers (safe to watch after chapter 12)

Yaag Rosch had an epic dead



I take down Adamantoises in 2 mins 10 sec without summons now. I am a GOD!!! WUAHAHAHAHA.

I'm the new Fal'Cie!

Yes, I completed the game a while ago and went back to do the side misions.  the growth egg is from taking down neochu in mission 55. That dude is a bitch!

I think you have to finich the chocobo mission 1st (mission 14 or so) then the cieth stone in Oerba becomes glowy. Neochu is very hard. Even at my level, it was a trip. I had to just spam vanille's death till it worked

I can actually beat him without summons but it'll probably take me about 4 or 5 mins so I think killing a few other miserable critters in betwwen (for TP) is the more efficient way for me at this point. It's always hilarious watching the damage output from my commados when he's at 999% break (esp Fang who has the genji gloves)

Yeah. I can hit 999,999 with Fang now! :D



@pristine

oh ok

YES BEAT THE CHP 11 BOSS

Chapter 12 here I come.....I don't want this game to end!

Damn dude, I now bestow you the title of "Wargram the Fal'cie" lol. I need to max my omega weapons before dreaming of that lol. I chose the pandora spear and not taming pole or dragoon lance for Fang since she's the best  sab IMO. I hope that doesn't limit my damage output though lol.

I dunno, I have to agree witht he looks.  While some things look nice others really don't.  Any characters with exposed arms or fingers etc look terrible.

 

I watch some in-game cutscenes of Lightening and I cringe at square shaped shoulders, elbows, knees.  The worst was when she put her hand on the Fal'Cie door early on and exposed rectangular fingers.  Even more apparent when the games jumps in CGI back to in-game.

That's true about the hands, they look very odd shaped. Yet, in overall character model, there are very few games that look better than FFXIII. Heck just look at the detail on Snow's model in chapter 7 or Sazh hair, or Fang's and Vanille's vestiments. But where it struck me was seeing my first chocobo. You could count individual feathers, and there where literally over tens of thousand. It looked better than CGI chocobo from FFX and FFXII chocobos. 

And looking beyond character models, there are enviroments that look simply out of this world, not only in art, but in texture detail (except ground textures, some of them are very primitive)
