Final Fantasy XIII

[QUOTE=Rose]OH okay, well the boss of chapter 9 has kicked my ass like 4 times in a row and added almost an hour but still. I'm pretty excited for this to take awhile longer. I've done pretty much everything so far, granted all I can do is not fight certain enemies, but there's been maybe 10 total I haven't.[/QUOTE]

You will love Chapter 10. You will get your ass kicked by tons of enemies....to the point where you literally have to avoid them at all costs. You do a ton of the Ceith missions, followed by the titan quests. But you can't even beat them all until you're super powerful. I think I had to go back post final boss to finish them all. I think Gran Pulse was like 30 hours for me alone. The world totally opens up and is no longer linear.

Awesome I'm looking forward to that!

So far I haven't gotten my ass kicked but the battles are tougher.

You must be avoiding the real tough ones....maybe just coincidently. The huge turtle things can kill your entire party in 1 or 2 hits. Unless you're way leveled up for some reason.

I'm not at the turtles yet when I posted that I was just messing around with the pulse droids things on the fifth ark still. But the boss beat me once and I quit because i almost beat him and then completely stopped looking at my hp gauge. which lead to my death. i was upset lol

EDIT: not the boss but Cid, who took forever for me to beat. BTW what's your opinion on Light's and Fang's best weapons?

I remember where you are. You aren't where I meant yet. You'll know what I mean when you get there.

Honestly it's been a little while, I can't remember what weapons I used. If you go back through this thread there are a bunch of good posts about weapons. I went with whatever they said. I think Lightning's was called the Lion something.....Fang's is whatever gives the improved debuff. Pandora maybe?

Lights best weapon IMO is the Lionheart, which has quick stagger. This cements Light's status as the best ravager in the game.

Fang is more of a tossup, you could use the one with improved debuff if you want her as your saboteur. I use Vanille as my main saboteur with her death spell. So I go with the Fang's weapon with the highest damage output (I think it has stagger lock as penalty)

Yeah I can't get the lionheart yet, but thanks for the advice. I'm pumped though to get that. I was thinking about using the one with stagger lock.

Also thanks Rapsfan. I combed the thread again last night. Nothing really is available right now that's an improvement over what I've got. and I just got to the turtles fought one died about 3 minutes later lol

Agreed. I had Hope instead of Vanille so Fang was my Sab and Hope was my healer/SYN.

You do definitely need Vanille though throughout the game. I don't think I could have beaten some of the ceith missions without her.

I have a buddy whose setup was Vanille/Snow/Hope and starts at SAB/SEN/SYN for bossess. Vanille with a lot of Magic+ with an upgraded Bella wand. Once they get all buffed out, Hope switches to MED/RAV while Vanille keeps spamming death.

I was thinking about toying around with that except having maybe Fang instead of Snow. either way close enough.
