I don't understand eidolon

[Rude]

Hello,

So i'm new to the game. When i fought shiva, it told me to use my "special magic" (sorry dunno the name in english) to get clues. Then you press "C" and you look at the clues. But... i don't understand it. There is no weekness written at all :(

I passed Shivah because i looked up on the internet.

Now i'm at Odin and... i die. i just die. I looked up on the internet (because... i don't get the clues) but it's just impossible.

Tactic + Heal at the start. Then spam heal. Okay. But i can't launch my first heal. I enter the fight, and odin OS lightning. So there is surely something i don't get but... How do you prevent from getting One shoted ? Sommetimes i can launch ONE heal. But it's like 50%. The other 50% i can't even launch a spell and i just... die.

Did you try to setup in your settings when you loaded game already battle speed to slow?
Some people have problem with normal speed.

If you are playing, at 1080p there is a glitch are hints will not appear.

- Yields to those who amass chain bonuses.
- Yields to those who heal the wounded.

When you fill the gestalt bar, just press X.

- Yields to those who defend against and endure attacks.(Sentinel)
- Cannot be provoked.

So i need to play in crappy res and modify option to fight bosses ?

I understand your three bullet points are what should appear on the screen ? The thing that i can't see in 1080 ? That would make sense what i don't understand it.

Where does the hint is bound to appear ? I am looking in the "C" screen where you see magic weaknesses.

Hint that tells me to press corresponding button shows up on right and middle part of my screen and gestalt bar doesn't need to be full ether as soon the fill up reaches word gestalt hint appears allowing to get Eidolon.

Press C in battle to see the monster stats, hints should be at botton, its not your fault if you cant see them in default 1080p, its a glitch thats only happens in this one since the XIII-2 works fine at 1080p.

Anyway this info is for Shiva i updated with Odin in my original post, just try (MED/COM) and (MED/RAV) and see if this works, maybe(MED/MED) if you are having trouble with health.

Ok so game is bugged. I guess for each eidolan i'll ask google insteand of the game.
Thank you :) i thought i was dumb.

Oh i tried med/Com. But i can't launch a spell. Odin just OS me. It's :

- Enter combat.
- Launch heal.
- Die before first heal is launched (he just OS lightning).

Or

- Enter combat
- Launch heal
- He strikes the little annoying kid.
- Heal is launched
- Odin OS lightning.

He means that when you press C the hints are displayed at the bottom of the screen. You know, there is stats on the left, weaknesses on the right, and there should be 1-4 text lines on the bottom.

There is a bug since the last patch so if you play the game on a resolution that is NOT 1280×720, these text lines are invisible, so you miss out the hints on how to defeat eidolons. You need to quit the game, set the resolution to 1280×720 and start again to see these hints.

I tried to use simplified English, write if it's still not clear.

Oh when you say hints you actually meant info as in information/details of monster while you in fight yea I too don't see that I though you were talking about button that hints you to press it.

I understood you :) But i am NOT going to put the game in 720p. Developpers that can't make a game in 1080p in 2010+ should quit their job. Just... really. I'm pissed at those kind of thing. How can it make past testing... it's just beyond me. Would be like if one of my webdev didn't test the website on internet explorer and just hand it to the client and it just doesn't work. Oh the guy would be immediatly fired for a mistake like that...

But thanks for you answer. I'm now informed that google is mandatory for playing in 1080p. (now i'm going to go back and slay some monsters so i have enough HP to survive one attack of Odin).

Or i'm going to do something else to just calm down after seeing than square enix is trying to make games with the ubisoft testing team.*

Thanks to all for your answers.

It would be wise to do leveling whatever you can if your character dies too quickly specially if you find a map that when you go around the corner and spawns enemy right away it might be best place to grind specially if enemy dies quick.

Leveling... I didn't saw that in a final fantasy since... FF5 ?

But yes i'm sure you are right. I'll do that when i'm not pissed at the game anymore.

Thanks for your time and patience to my "angry answers".

Well, it is a new bug that probably surprised the developers too after they released the patch. We assume they will fix it eventually, so 1080p and other resolutions will see these hints. Those things are important to get the "full" datalog entry (for total completion and the Lore Master achievement), and to learn how to beat certain seemingly tough enemy types.
