In Training posted:People seem to like XIII-2 a lot more than XIII but personally its my least favorite of the three. They moved to a more open structure and made the combat stone cold easy because a lot of people couldnt wrap their heads around XIII. You can raise monsters to fight for you and theres a lot more stuff to explore in XIII-2 but the original has much better difficulty and design, even if it is pretty slow ramp. Story wise none of it matters because each game has a pretty self contained story with characters that just cross over as needed i hate to be the one to say it since im such a fan of good gameplay but IMO theres more that goes into a game than just gameplay. 13 also had a mandatory grind it in it (unforgivable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

In Training posted:Mandatory grind? Which part? when u first get to gran pulse (think thats what its called). at least thats how it was in my game because it was literally impossible to beat the story fights or any of the optional stuff at that point without grinding and every enemy i actually could beat was taking 30 minutes.

Hmm when I first got to gran pulse everything was kicking my rear end so I figured I had to just do it later so I went directly to the story path and didn't have a problem with that stuff

doesnt 13 even limit you from actually moving further in your sphere grid thing each chapter so you cant grind

I wonder how Academia 400F or whatever era it was, ever made it into XIII-2 without someone in the development team saying "maybe we should rethink this"

I replayed XIII last year and the longest fights I can think of were all bosses around the 10 minute mark. I don't remember fights taking that long

elf help book posted:yea the game even grades you on how fast you beat fights, theyre supposed to be fast duno. the boss fights seemed normal length but certain regular fights just took ages. and theres that section with sazh + vanille vs the hoplite guys, those guys took like 5-10 minutes to beat too.

The last boss of XIII-2 was one of the only tough parts for me and I loved it. Such an awesome gauntlet.

Anyone here play the episodic sequel to FF4 that they released for the Wii? I was on a serious benzo kick at that point in my life but I vaguely remember grinding each and every chapter for the best gear - people on GameFAQs had even determined timings and paths to guarantee certain random encounters and their loot - I think there were some random-drop chests that could be manipulated too. Good times.
