Systematic System posted:You get a chance at fighting the + version of the final boss, which has a much higher drop rate on a special weapon (5% on normal version of the boss, versus 15% on the + version!). And... that's pretty much it. I've heard that you fight the + version on any NG+, and that it doesn't have to be hard mode. As far as Hard Mode goes, enemies drop higher level abilities and better equipment upgrade materials in hard mode, so you can get stronger than you can in Normal mode. There's a bunch of equipment and garbs that are only available in hard mode. But other than that, I think you only get bragging rights.

I don't think there is any incentive to play on normal at all. There is no benefit to choose normal over easy

Normal mode is easy. Easy may as well be a movie. That's about the skinny of it.

Yeah, I've seen people struggle their way to the final boss and then give up on Normal (which is a bitch unless you kept a save before the final dungeon, since the time limit mechanic goes away and you can't just wait for time to run out for a NG+).

If you get to the Final Day, attempt the final boss, but fail, the Crystal of Atonement shows up to let you return to the first day with your stuff.

Even though a lot of the music in LR is taken from XIII and XIII-2, the LR original music is pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQdKkvERi6c

I'm in the final dungeon and I'm exterminating the Archangeli and monkey dudes during the brief moment that Fang is in my party. I assume that's what most people do? Also, I peeked ahead to see if I still had Fang after going through that door, will I get a chance to exterminate Chimera behind the optional doors?

Yes, and the two enemies you speak of cannot be wiped out for good until you progress the story a bit past the part you are at.

When you're doing the optional part of the final dungeon, note where the Chimera spawns. That's the only room he'll ever show up in, so you'll need to exterminate him in there

The doorways also act as de-spawn triggers, so if it's not what you wanted to pop, run out of the room.

You can't do anything about the corridor spawning, sadly.

Yeah the final few Last Ones only spawn in the optional parts of the final dungeon since there are still forced fights with the normal versions of those enemies before that. Anyway I finished up the main game and did all of the optional stuff during my first playthrough, now the only thing I have left to do is grind for 30 accessory upgrades. In my opinion this is actually the worst trophy/achievement in the game as it requires re-obtaining 30 head piece accessories during a new game plus, which is just tedious. It basically requires playing most of the main game again since the best way to obtain accessories is killing Last Ones or chests throughout the storyline areas.

ChaosSora posted:It basically requires playing most of the main game again since the best way to obtain accessories is killing Last Ones or chests throughout the storyline areas. Not really. Read the rear end end of this guide: http://www.trueachievements.com/walkthroughpage.aspx?pageid=5914 He directs you to 15 easily gathered accessories. Then you just restart NG+ on day 3 once the hourglass is available and gather the same 15 on NG++. It'll take you an hour tops.

Ok so I will kill enemies until the remaining number is the number you are forced to fight later? Then, once I finish that, I can go back to the room where I killed the Chimera to make it spawn 29 more times?

Yes. Be prepared for some trickier fights though because everything is harder on that day and the Omega Chimera has 4 million plus HP. He's not hard, but it's a battle of attrition you could make quicker with a good setup.

I don't recall Chimera Omega being a big deal. Just have your EP fully stocked and you can go crazy with Overclock, whether you need it to stagger or to do damage.

I beat the game last night. The ending was awful and makes me like the game less. Seriously, that was the dumbest poo poo. Didn't help that the end boss was a dick and had four forms and was a pain in the rear end to stagger. But hey, he dropped his lovely weapon  I hope he didn't drop money because I equipped the collectors catalog or whatever to get his lovely weapon to drop!!

This isnt the first final fantasy game i just watched on youtube rather then buying and having to sit trough all the tedious fighting. But it is the worst story, lame characters, lame enemies, lame bullshit story etc etc. I am amazed.

The rest (read: the bulk of it) is a really fun battle and customization system, and Lightning snarking at the ridiculous quest-givers. Also, if whatever videos you were watching didn't have Lightning wearing stupid hats and mustaches the whole time, they were playing wrong.

The best part of the ending is when everyone's chilling in space for some reason and Bhunivelze pops out of a portal to have another go at them, and he makes this really gross throat-clearing noise I can't even imagine why they did that and left it in but I'm glad they did.

PS3 Code for Collector's Edition Strategy Guide Schemata. Free to a good goon home: Just getting to Day 8. Dozen side quests and about two dozen Canvas of Prayer quests to do plus the ritual extinction of monsters before the end. Took a bit but I'm really liking the battle system. Hoping to be done and on NG+ by next week if my recent pace keeps up. ShadowedFlames fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Mar 14, 2014 |
