Such an incredibly broken game

[Boomer Click Bait]

I play FF for the story and I cheat in all of them. Why can I not beat Vanille's Gesalt guy when I have maxed stats and weapons!?! I have all my trees maxed out with unlimited CP and maxed out weapons I should have no issues. How in the ♥♥♥♥ do people beat this broke @ss game fair?

Strategy.

Strategy is much more important than stats are in this game. That's partly because stats are only ever linear modifiers (they're often quadratic or even cubic in earlier FFs) and partly because the system features numerous stacking damage multipliers (both offensive and defensive) that compound upon each other.

This is what a good Hecatoncheir fight might look like "fair":

This is what you should be able to pull off at max development:

You don't take the time to learn it, hack your way to have everything maxed, can't win a fight, run to the steam forums and say it's the games fault... Also criticize others for being able to do it w/o hacking...

exactly , he cheats and still cant beat a game , which must mean the game is broken , since, it cant be on his side , hes cheating after all

if you want a game you can just rush through without a challenge , maybe ffxv would be better for you

I wonder, did you try putting the game on easy?

[Vethala]

Seriously mate? I took me like 6 or 7 tries.

Then again I've played since the start on slow combat speed and people say Eidolon battles are easier on slow.

you get more time , and sometimes 1 shot attacks like the ones odin does take longer to complete on slow

You have to really know what you're doing for that to work.

if you are "playing" just to cheat, and are there for the story. Why not just watch "good" play throughs on youtube. Since you dont want to put effort into strategy. I do agree its annoying, that your character stats and levels are capped off every chapter. We're all used to over-grinding befor bosses in older games, so i understand.

Ok came by this thread and have to laugh really hard. First off the game is broken because you cant beat it cheating? I'm dead I never thought in my life time I would ever see a thread like this. Thank you man you really made me laugh because for the first time I never thought anyone could be so stupid or bad at video games.

the game can be really hard at times especially if you dont understand the battle system the first time i beat it i had to restart like 4 or 5 times because i got stuck on a boss or eidolon ( vanilles was one of the 2 eidolons that made me start over ( the other being odin)

ff13 is one of the few games that was really challenging until you understood its battlesystem
i fully understand it and i can drag on the fight against the one enemy in chapter 8 for minutes because i dont let hopes hp fall below the trigger for the others to join , i even get into a later phase with just 1 character by spaming potions and healing

the game has a really great battlesystem overall but it takes time to learn and isnt as easy as in some other games

[NeonPoison]

That's the point of video games though. They are suppose to be hard and there is suppose to be a learning curve. Makes beating it that much better. This tyreqd just made me laugh

lolz this is pathetic. XIII is not that difficult at all, I'd put it in the easier half of FF games comparable with VIII. XIII even has an easy setting and you can retry every battle! Go play the original NES version of FF I without save states or cheating if you want to play a hard version of this game.
