So, what weapon should I be upgrading for, say, Lightning?

Is it the Gladius? Or is there a better one?

The Gladius is the best approach if you're going into a more offensive role with Lightning, but it has a too high EXP cost.

I levelled the BlazeFire Gun, which was simpler and faster to get to the required level (26) to get to Tier 2. 

BlazeEdge is the most even weapon in the game, it's attack power is only 100 behind a fully upgraded Gladius... But it's magic is 400 greater than a fully upgraded Gladius.

I think i will upgrade that on my second playthrough actually.

Light's magic sucks anyway. It's sole purpose for me is building chains.

Hope, THAT'S where the money is.

I prefer offense for Light and Fang, their accessories boost their Str both by 107 total.

Oh yeah, question, is there a new game +? I remember some preview saying "This is a really hard final fantasy game on it's own, and then there is the new game + that is just ridiculous". That was a while ago though. Was that just ass talk, or is there actually a new game + of some kind?

Probably ass talk since this game isn't hard.

Oh, other question. Is better to have Auto-Faith or Shaman's Mark (Mag+50 and his Natural Mag is around 300s)?

I hate Barthandelus! No matter how hard I try, Destrudo takes out Lightning in one hit, even with the Synergists status effects in play

nah, just go all out on him when he starts charging "destrudo". After a while, he should moan and 6 of the 12 missiles would be disabled. If you are really powerful, you can completely disable the attack

Whats with the groups of owl like thigns in Gran Pulse having time liits of 18 minutes or so when they all killed in 5 seconds with 2 blitz attacks?

Yeah, those are heavily unbalanced. Even with mid level Tier 2 weapons, they're ridiculously high, 5 minutes.

I just faced a 1.5M juggernaught who has a 1 min and 36 seconds time limit.... yeah, that's fair XD  

Even with max crystallium, I have trouble 5-starring juggernaut. The time limit doesnt make sense

I think auto-faith is a 40% boost so it would be better

Special attacks and pre-emptive?

I cant pre-empt him. the only way I've 5-starred it is to use "infiltration (sab/sab/sab) cast deprotect, deshell, Imperil and slow. Then switch to tri-disaster (rav/rav/rav) and go all out till he staggers. He'll try to "steam clean" (remove ailments) before staggering. This mustn't happen or you wont make it.

 

Immediately after staggering him, switch to ''cerberus" (com/com/com) to take him out ASAP. The launch will prevent him from ever recovering. this is the only way I ever 5-star this battle

40% to whatever you current mag reads before battle i.e augmented stats through other accessories will be tallied into the 40% boost
