robofreak wrote:Yeah, the only reason I've been doing missions and grinding is because I don't want any surprises to hit me in the face when I get ready to finish chapter eleven.
Well, summons now make more sense, but I'm still dissapointed in their abilities for combat. I guess I'll see what they can do when I get my characters role levels maxed.
All my characters are currently role level 3. They are approaching level 4 in at least 2 of their roles each. Should I be strong enough to take down one of those ridiculous elephant like things walking around? I'm guessing those are worth a ridiculous amount of CP.
I want to try to get my ultimate weapons before I take on Orphan so what's best to kill in the area where I can harvest parts, gil, and CP?

robofreak wrote:Interesting. What's wrong with harvest CP? Is there a downside to boosting my stats?
It sounds like I have a chance of killing the baby elephant things, but I need to figure out a strategy to kill them. What do you mean about not having the right catalog?
I guess I'm missing something with the ultimate weapons. I thought all of the weapons started as one thing, but the ultimate form was univeral for each of them. Am I wrong on that? I've pretty much been focusing on only one weapon for each of them until I can get some of those platinum ingots wherever they may be.

robofreak wrote:I do like the gameplay more than 12 though, but I prefer 12 in the aspect of being able to go everywhere. XIII does have one major thing against it which is the fact that the characters actually play a role in the story. Anyone else notice how you could edit the FFXII team out of the story and it wouldn't affect it in the slightest?
robofreak wrote:Now what I really want is for Spuare Enix to get off their lazy butt and redo FFVII. That will make my day when that is announced and I might die happy when I play and finish it.

Counterpunch wrote:The reason you don't farm CP is because you will earn all of that along the way to getting the Gil you need and doing missions.
Farm Gil, never CP. By the time I was done with farming Gil, I had all my characters maxed in all roles with the max amount of carried over, unusable CP.
Counterpunch wrote:I think it's called Collector's Catalog, it's an item that gives you a much higher chance of getting item drops. The only real money in the game is from Perfume, Gold Nugget, and Platinum Ignots. You need to beat enemies to get that and you need the catalog to make sure it doesn't take a billion hours.
[...]
Platinum Ignots are the "common" drop for the Adamantoise, you get one in every 4 or so you beat. (with Collector Catalog attached)

Counterpunch wrote:Using Vanille to spam death is really only useful (in general) in one place in the game: Neochu. You will see. AND, you will hate.
That aside, spamming Death at the turtle-elephant monsters ends up being really inefficient. Once your party is situated right and you get a bit of practice in, you'll be killing them in under 2 minutes outright, or in less than a minute or so with a summon.
Speak for yourself, I Death-spammed Adamantoises and it worked just fine. Oh, sure, it'd take a few tries to get it right, but it's not like there's a penalty for losing in this game.Counterpunch wrote:Right Right...more stuff that's coming back to me now. The reason for grinding money and more importantly component drops is to get things like Kaiser Kunckles and Power Gloves to help you with the limit break stuff.
None of that stuff is really necessary for beating the game, but it is necessary for all the extra stuff afterwords.
This game doesn't use Limit Breaks, (Note that I don't count Full ATB Skills as Limit Breaks, since they don't fit the description) strength-boosting items aren't going to help them that much. I used Army of One once,except, like, Omnislash, or Lion Heart, or even Blitz Ace, but no. Just a bunch of sword strikes, none of which were anywhere near as powerful as I could have had Lightning perform normally as Commando.robofreak wrote:Anyways, back onto XIII now that my rant is over.
I liked the Chocobo scene, but it did feel out of place. I'm thinking that this is more of a Final Fantasy title that shouldn't have used throwbacks to other games. They could have very well made it a Final Fantasy without any of the previous things that the fandom loves, but then they'd have to deal with fandom backlash.

You exert a large amount of energy over a game that you don't like.
Counterpunch wrote:I've been letting it slide out of well, boredom and a complete sense of pointlessness to even bantering about it with you, but these last two things don't even make sense to me.
Final Fantasy is a continually evolving math based means for story telling. The only ties that bind it are crystal legends and an air ship or 40. Cutesy **** like having a Chocobo or Cactuar in every game doesn't define the series. FF13 is a Final Fantasy game because it is a grandiose crystal legend. That's all any of them amount to.
Counterpunch wrote:Your Chocobo statement confuses me because in addition to Sazh's chick, there's the scene on Pulse, the mission to get a Chocobo, and the subsequent riding them around Gran Pulse for the rest of the game.
Counterpunch wrote:But seriously, this thread does not need to devolve into another discussion of the game's merits and I for one have said more than enough on the matter. If you want to argue over whether it's a good game or not, take it elsewhere and let this thread be for game mechanic questions etc.

robofreak wrote:I found a gil farming solution. Here's what I did.
Mission 7 has a Undying that has a common drop of a tetraric Crown and a rare drop of a tetraric tiara. The sell values are 15,000 and 40,000 respectively. The drop is infrequent at best, but a level maxed collecor catalog increased the odd enough for me to get a second catalog which I have maxed and has made getting those big ticket items quite a bit easier. I'm going to get a third to equip to my party which should make getting those things very easy.
In about 5 minutes of farming those items I was able to max out the level 1 stages of the Power Circle and Belladonna. Now I just need the catalysts to move forward with them.
Those Adamantoise are ridiculous. I can get about 1/4 of the HP knocked out and then I die.

robofreak wrote:Catalog effects that are different don't stack, but the same one will.
I've got 3 collector catalogs going and I'm getting stuff from every fight unlike how I used to even with one attached. Make sure you max out their level, but don't catalyze them.

I'm not sure...you might just be on a lucky streak. I think I got two Trapezohedrons in a row once. I even got two Dark Matters in the span of a half hour another time. But everything I've read says that collector catalogs don't stack.
