I ended up with a LR strategy guide, but not the game (thanks amazon?).

The guide literally mentions animation cancelling. If I had to make a list of every video game term I thought I'd see in a Final Fantasy I don't think that would've ever been on it.

Its another story about a monkey alien sent to destroy the planet that can go into this super fighting mode where his hair changes color. It's pretty OK.

So I've played a couple hours of Lightning Returns. I feel like I can't make it through a battle without using a potion though, even with guarding I take too many hits. Is there a way to dodge, or is this just the way the game is?

If you didn't start your first run on easy that would probably be my first recommendation. But likely you're timing your guards wrong. The window is only like 1/8th of a second or something.

Should've called them "C and D- tier robogods that are trying to help the B tier gods and A tier god kill the S tier god again for the second time but this time for real" because that's honestly a much better name.

Also materia is a confusing made-up name it should've been called "crystallized mako (which is the liquid form of the lifestream (which is spirit energy from the planet)) that lets you cast fireballs and stuff".

Solid fantasy words. They have syllables and patterns we use every day so are not completely foreign to us, as well as having strong mapping of the sounds to the objects.

Is there any way to get recovery items in LR after entering the Temple of the Goddess? Preferably without leaving but I'm not even sure you can.

If you make it all the way to the boss you can leave and next time there will be a Yeul at the start that shortcuts you back to the boss. But otherwise no outside of curaga or playing on easy or maybe really abusing mediguards if you have it.

Dragoon is very good if you have beatdown, a jump weapon, and the accessory that gives you a second jump. It's basically instant stagger on anything.

Also thanks to widespread because I was going to reply to him saying that, funnily enough, I hadn't run into any Last Ones yet and now I've extincted the entire Jagd Woods.

E: ...were those Meonektons there before? Guess that exact claim is inaccurate but it was 3 in short succession.

Meonektons replace all outside monsters from like 4-6 AM, whether you've genocided anything or not. And they're also the replacement for when you genocide stuff.
