XIII i liked 13s story. But I expected something amazing. Which was my fault I suppose. Just with terms like l'cie and fal'cie how couldn't you think that. But it isn't a bad story.

@darth did you liked the ending ?
for i had understood what will happen since chapter 8

I hope the guy who wrote this one doesn't write the next one. He wrote Revnant Wings. Which kinda well...sucked.

chapter 5-9.7-Pretty awesome chapter
chapter 6-10-Loved it amazing game starts picking up
so far chapter 7 is AMAZING really starting to like every character and its hard to rank them even snow and hope who i hated are pretty amazing now almost done with it(fang is bad ass almost more then lightning but not yet lol)

lawl, no one told me there is an item that DOUBLE's CP! ... found it, darn, if i knew that one earlier.. xD

Longest process: Evolve a Tetradric Crown to * then dismantle it. You'll gain a couple of accesories, components and a Hermes Sandals. Evolve the Hermes Sandals to * then upgrade it with a Perovskite to Sprint Shoes

Short process: Evolve a Tetraedric Tiara to * then dismantle it. Again, a batch of accesories and components, but this time, you'll gain the Sprint Shoes directly 

didnt bioware say that they didn't evolve like other genre's and thats the reason why they aren't so popular anymore?

Actually, most of the popular JRPG series have sparked as much or bigger interest than last gen. FF, KH and DQ. 

If you take a look at other JRPG series in the prior generation, you'll see that there isn't much difference in numbers. Persona 4, one of the best JRPG's in PS2 hasn't even touched 1 M sales.

JRPG never was a genre that sold millions, outside a few select series. Plus, this gen the main JRPG focus was shifted to Handhelds, because on consoles, they came out a little too few, too late.

Just so you guys know, all the auto-spells don't last forever. They will go away after like 30 seconds to a minute.

They do last one minute, if they are not dispelled or countered prior to that minute. 

It's more than enough for pretty much except bosses and tough missions.
