Final Fantasy XIII

So one of the games my wife and I currently playing is Final Fantasy XIII

So far its not bad. IMO there have definitely been better FF games, but the new more action-packed battle system isn't bad.

I am currently on Chapter 9 (Disk 2), so I'm nowhere near finishing.

Anyway, anyone else played this? If so, what are your opinions/comments about the game?

I couldn't get into it. I put it down after I got Hope's summon I think. Honestly I don't like being a female main character. And I didn't really enjoy the world. /crosses fingers for Versus.

i got it like a week ago and still wonder about it. im only at the part where the party splits up into hope / light and sazh / vanille (snow got captured by fang before). I like the combat system, but the game looks way to straight for me. nothing to explore expect the occasional flying ball chest off the way

yeah, I don't have Hope's summon yet, but I am past the part you're at Assassine. And no, it dosen't really get any more explorey.

It does get more explorey later on, Later on in the game, around.. the Chapter before the last, You HAVE to explore.

Although I will marry Vanille someday. Dibs

I swear that Vanille's a lesbian.

i dont know, shes like...too much of a kid for me. aint my style

My wife and I both agree that Vannile is definitely loli-material. *Shudder*

She is the cutest though, however.

@_@ one of the characters is named after my wife too.

...your wife is named fang?

No, Sazh! (just kidding >.> But I was serious about the name part)

By the way, is it smart to spend as much money as I can developing my weapons to max level so I can get the transfusion? Or have I been doing it all wrong? (Each weapon is over level 10 at this point, I don't even know what the max level is >.>)

Max level for a tier 1 weapon is 41 afaik.
Weapons get stronger, so you pretty much dont do anything wrong, and theres nothing else to do with the cash either.
Only thing ive noticed so far is you should upgrade smart. The organic stuff seems to give low exp but increases the multiplier. the other things like cabels give huge exp but decrease it. so push multiplier to 3x and then feed the weapon like 99 cables. that should give the best result.

rest assured, i only just got to the point where you can modify, and tested around, but did not save any modifications yet.

Ah. Yeah, what I usually do is save up a bunch of money for a ton of expensive items like cabling or film.

36 organics make x3 exp on a weapon, so i buy something like Beastial Claws, then put in like 50 high level items, whatever I could afford at the time really.

i noticed that especially with organics, the cheap ones are more effective in price / use ratio

FF9 was always a favorite of mine, i suppose.

yeah, i liked 9 most too

I preferred 8 to any of the rest..
