stop playing at chapter 11 and move forward to FFXIII-2

[CouchPotatox]

is that okay?i would like to play ff13-2 before finishing the whole game :D

Well, you don't have to do all the side quests in Chapter 11 (and it's pretty impossible without cheesing, anyways). It's designed for post-end gameplay. After you beat the game, you have the option of continuing the game (with all crystal restrictions unlocked), at which point you can comeback to Chapter 11 area to finish up the side quests.

You can go on to Chapter 12 and 13 (both are relatively short, if boring, all things considered) and beat the game.

Finish the game, that's my advice.

FF 13-2 picks up right where FF 13-1 ends. In fact the plot of the second one revolves around solving a problem created by the ending of the first one. As a result it is harder to make it sense of it if you don't finish the first game.

It is also VERY important to note that after you finish the game you return to chapter 11. Your characters are not strong enough to handle the side quests the first time through and they are not supposed to be. This area is supposed to be end game content that you return to later.

So just mine whatever Crystarium you need to get to the next level and continue the game. Ignore the side quests for now. After all that is what you are supposed to do.

yes

Yes and no.

Yes

FF13-2 has nothing to do with FF13. there are a few very ropey connections and you feel just a bit let down. (correction) Alot let down. That game could of been sooooo much more.

No

You'll start FF13-2 and say

• Who's that?
• What?
• what's going on
• I'm so confused
• huh?
• very FF7 Advent children
• What is this ♥♥♥♥
• Who are you?

The games like this most of the way through.

The Gameplays okay but game itself (especially the story) leaves an acrid taste in the mouth.

If you go on to play FF13:Lightning Returns its more of the same.
The gameplays slightly better again, but with regards to the story at this point, you'll no longer care.
Nothing makes sense.

That said i did platinum trophy all these back on the ps3.

You need a genji glove, a large chain bonus(the cieth in Eden are best) and fangs HIGHWIND Ability. Please Note you need the genji glove on fang and have her as party leader. Deprotect and Bravera will also aid dramatically(cast these as chain guage breaks or Cieth will die too quickly). Using highwind Resets any chain bonus.

Toises aren't good as they are naturally resistant to physical attacks

Genji Glove is necessary for your characters to exceed 99,999 damage. Highwind is not. See for example this vid:

If all you care about is the trophy, most of the Eidolon finishers can hit a staggered target for more than 99,999 damage. You don't even need a Genji Glove for this.

oh thx but i just got the achievement randomly when fighting with that big elephant turtle

[tiornys]

Ah right, I'd forgotten that interaction. If you Summon to knock down a 'toise, the instant kill on the legs also triggers the achievement.
