I just got the Paradigm Shift ability and am now able to spend CP randomly to unlock all sorts of things. It really opened up the battle system a lot. The story actually makes sense so far as well! But I am sure that will change.

You can practice fighting the battles by pressing x for 10 hours. Seriously this is the worst part of ff13, there nothing special you do in battles. Should of just let them battles be uncontrollable instead of you having to spam the x key.

It really opened up the battle system a lot. It mostly makes sense from beginning to end if you are able to keep up with certain key vocabulary and names. Or at least that is how I felt about the story. Most complaints about XIII's story that I have read seem to center more around how memorable it is rather than the complexity at least when it comes to the first game.

Edit: Speaking of 14... this totally makes up for the ho-hum port of 13 in my book.

I am like 4 1/2 hours into it, and I cannot understand how a normal human being could understand the story if they didn't read every single codex about the world because they assume you know the very history of what a Cie is. Combined with the most ADD scenery writing that jumps back and forth for the worst mood whiplash ever, I don't know how people compared this to FFX. On the other hand, Snow sounds a lot better in Japanese when he sounds like a typical shounen jokester than gruff, manly Troy Baker trying to do the lines.

It's not that the basic story is really all that complex - it's just told in an extremely poor way both from the language and the direction.

I'm convinced he's the only reason I like Snow, the most unlikable character in the game.

No, I really hate Hope by a country mile. There's also some really obvious translation changes made in Snow's dialogue, mostly him calling Lightning "Sister" a lot more. It's interesting yet kinda confusing.

It's not the first time they've done, like, codex entries that contain world info though. It's there if you want it. Otherwise just try to enjoy the ride and kinda bad story. Troy Baker owns though.

There is a major big difference between how FF13 does it and how all the other FF's do it. You are never at any point actually explained what a Cie is. The most important figure/race/whatever in the world of FF13, and no one actually says "A Cie is-." It's so easy, Vanille's there as the pretend fish-out-of-water!

Cie'th, l'Cie, Fal'cie, Pulse l'cie, Sanctum l'cie. Like, it can get real confusing. Probably more ones that I don't remember, too. dreffen fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Oct 10, 2014 |

About 2-3 hours in the game, you are thrown into a train ride, followed by a battle on the highway, followed by a giant floating fortress and then they get branded by the Fal'Cie. Only after they fall down on the ice ocean does the first ever explanation comes out from not-a-codex, and it was only about a L'Cie. Still no explanation what a Fal'cie or barely any mention. You can't do that 4 hours in a game, most of which is cutscenes?

They cover most of that if I remember right, with the rest being expanded on in the codex stuff. I really really do not understand how people get confused. There are three terms to remember: Fal'cie, l'cie and Cie'th. Three. There are more terms to remember in a single chapter of Harry Potter. Pulse is a place. A Pulse L'cie is just "A L'cie from Pulse." Tae posted:Here's the context I'm talking about. About 2-3 hours in the game, you are thrown into a train ride, followed by a battle on the highway, followed by a giant floating fortress and then they get branded by the Fal'Cie. This is straight-up wrong. Sazh explains l'cie in dialogue in chapter 2, long before that. Multiple characters do. Sazh posted:Listen to me. Vanille posted:Pulse fal'Cie and l'Cie are bad news. That's why Cocoon kicked them out. Live too close to the fal'Cie? One-way ticket to Pulse! That's the Purge in a nutshell Hope posted:What's my-? Pulse is hell on earth! Lightning posted:PSICOM, Guardian Corps... Within the context of the story, they tell you: Sanctum is one side, Pulse is another, fal'cie are things that create l'cie and tell them to do things and both Pulse and Sanctum have fal'cie.
