Button Display not working??

[JoKin]

I'm currently a few hours into FF13 and I've been having problems figuring out which buttons to hit during certain fights. It will tell me Hit the ___ button to finish the fight. This happened to me first on the Shiva fight. I didnt know how far the bar filled up and I couldn't figure out which button to hit. So I did that fight for about 45 mins before realizing I, 1 filled the bar up, and 2 hit the X button for me(Xbox Controller. Would be Square if it was playstation) to finish the fight. Is there a way to make the button actually show up or will the whole game be hit __ to attack.

Are you using keyboard button prompts by any chance? If so, change them to controller type after loading your save.

I changed to controller prompts in the options. But even still it doesn't show which button to hit during certain tutorials. It will just say hit button __ to finish the fight. Happened during Shiva in the beginning.

The Eidolon fights are the only ones that will require you to press a specific button in order to finish them, and you know now what button that is. You should be ok going forward.

Yes the eidolon fights are the same key every time, there was also a mech part where it was a different button. So how many different fights like this are hit whatever button to attack/end fight

[tiornys]

The mech part was a) not a battle and b) didn't actually require you to hit any buttons since you could have just walked through it. You didn't mention different buttons to attack previously, so I didn't address that. You'll likely have some issues with using eidolons in gestalt mode, since those attacks are mapped to several different key combinations--off the top of my head, I think it's up + confirm, down + confirm, right or left + confirm, and cancel for the four non-finisher attacks, and the top button (triangle on playstation, which I think is Y(?) on xbox) to activate the finisher early. That's the only other attacking you'll do that relies on non-standard controls. No other mini-games involve attacking and any other on-map interactions you have will just be with the confirm button.

To me it worked switching from controller to keyboard and pressing x on keyboard during the Shiva sisters fight
