Kurieg posted:They were trying to adhere to the conceit of them being "dresses" though Rikku's is really stretching that definition as it stands. I'm aware. And they really ought to have gone with one of Rikku's other Ultimate Dress sphere concepts instead. Though if they wanted to keep the Giant robot, they could have made it more of a suit. I mean, they already gave her a Zero suit, so they might as well take the homage whole hog. As for Paine, they should have made her look more inhuman, sort of like how they did with Yuna's Floral Fallal where she looked slightly not human and plant like to go with the theme. Paine could have looked more bird/ blade like, instead of just Paine. Also, watching the Summons video, it feels like Snow and Sazh's vehicle forms had the least effort put into them, since there's no moving parts on the vehicles themselves. It also made me wonder what FF13 characters would be like in a Persona setting with their Eidolons as Personae, but part of that is the lateness talking.

I recorded these back to back and you can see that I figured it out somewhere around Bahamut, I want to say it's L2/R2?

Those eidolons really aren't all that much help by the look of it. They could cut maybe a couple of minutes off a fight, but they're not really a superweapon.

I loving lost it when I first saw that elevator rolling down the hill. Then all over again when I realized they could get back in and it would just roll up the hill as if it was ever designed to do that.

Does Alexander's machine gun laser attack absolutely destroy huge enemies much like Sazh's blitz? Also, I only ever used Eidolons just to either 1. Reset the fight since it heals your party to full after and 2. Absolutely destroy large numbers of enemies asap. Summoning is there for when you need it occasionally.

Heh. I forgot about the whole "Habitrail Hamsterball Elevator" thing. I just remembered that Taejin's Tower was knocked over halfway up, so I thought that the elevator just followed along its track horizontally and Oerba just happened to be in walking distance of the elevator terminus at the "top" of the tower. But nope...  Thanks FFXIII. White Knight Chronicles was just getting boring now, it's nice to working proper stupid again.

On my first time playing, Barthandelus was a roadblock and a half for me, I didn't do any real sidequesting, I just followed the quest markers, and I got my arse handed to me badly by him. I then spent nearly an hour grinding in Oerba after, and I got him then.

Sazh's face upon seeing Serah is about the face I make through most of this game. Eyebrow cocked, squinting suspiciously, mumbling "uhhhhhhhhh".

Barthandelus was a really dumb fight for me. I scraped through it after basically seven to eight tries with varying party combinations, including using Odin to stall out the Doom timer. Getting Hope Ruin really helped, I'll admit.

I'm not sure exactly how Barthandelus can disguise himself as a normal-sized human, but it kind of makes me think of the Wizard of Oz. Except in reverse.

Since the Space Pope is a terrifying giant robot monster, being able to use magic to shift into human form probably makes it less scary for mere mortals, however, he is one of the only Fal'cie to do this in the series, being the Pope must have its perks.

My question is more about why he decided to disguise himself as a teenage girl. Phase 1 - Turn into girl Phase 2 - ???? (who am I kidding, we know it was to gently caress Snow) Phase 3 - Destroy Cocoon? (Get laid!)

Literally gently caress Snow, not gently caress with him. That is honestly the only reason for being Serah. He could have been Dahj, or Hell, be an actually clever person and transform into the other Calvary guy. He could say "Cid's turned evil (like nearly every other FF the real bad guy has emerged at the last minute) come to Cocoon to help us defeat Pope Robopope II." Wouldn't even need to turn into his giant head cheat mode then. Unless the party grew a brain when he tried to get them onto the Owl-ship and smell a trap for once.

I think Bart's handling of the situation was kinda neat. He told them to go destroy Orphan and sent them to a training ground so they could do so, but then the party said "screw that" and escaped to the surface, looking for some miracle to save them. Bart could probably have stopped them at any time, but he wanted them to reach Oerba, and see for themselves that there's no hope for L'Cie. And so NOW is the right time to pop back in again, when their flame of hope is flickering out, to try and goad them into volunteering to Ragnarok Coccoon. But then again, his boss fight seems utterly pointless due to lack of actual threat or interest. EDIT: Oh, you're overlevelled. I was wondering about your crystarium stuff since I saw that Sahz got Medic out of nowhere. Lightning's real name of Claire might seem the most ordinary thing to US, but you said it yourself: The rest of the party's names are pretty weird. What if by Cocoon standards, Claire is considered a really weird name?

I think you guys are all forgetting a certain fellow by the name of Cid. He's in a few Final Fantasy games I think. Also what about Guy/Gus? Maria? Leon? Richard/Rickard? Leila? Gordon? None of you played FFII did you.

The first time I'd ever heard of Zell Miller was when he threatened to duel Chris Matthews to the death on live television. And my first thought was "wait, there's actually someone named Zell in real life? "Also, they're not protagonists or anything, but Rufus, Reno, and Elena are all fairly normal names too. Hell, Sahz's voice actor is named Reno.

Tae posted:I thought I read somewhere that Eclaire was the japanese name, or Éclair or whatever. It was! But then Square NA said "wow, that sounds really stupid" and changed it to Claire for the NTSC version. It means "light" in French, so in a really obtuse way, the game was prefiguring it all along by having everyone call Lightning "Light" for short.
