elemental rings! check! they used for a weapon upgrade?

Not for a weapon upgrade, but you'll need them if you want the every item/weapon trophy. A maxed out omikuji can also be broken down to yield the relevant ring, so don't sell those either just in case.

In my fantasy land this game would bomb horribly in sales, receive terrible reviews, and usher in a swathe of ff12 clones with more mature storylines and aesthetics.

I'm so pissed I waited all these years for this completely unappealing dredge.

We share the same dream.

Believe it or not, some people prefer a linear experience. FF12 had no soul and it was painfully boring for me. I don't want wRPGs in my jRPGs.

 

[Kagari]

Anyone know the fix for that trophy/theme glitch... I seem to have it... not getting some trophies I should have gotten D:

Game Watch put up even more: http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/20100315_354803.html

Did any western media offer that much yet (as in overview what has been presented)?

 

[Zoe]

What are the rules for getting the Dash Shoes again?

 

[Rahxephon91]

Strange issue all of a sudden. My main dullshock controller randomly dosent work with this game. It works in the FFXIII menu, the PS menu, and every other game. It's just when it gets to the actual game it won't work. Anyone know what's up?

Edit-Shit I didn't realize I bumped the import thread. I'm sorry.

 

[reilo]

EDIT: Oops. Wrong FFXIII thread. Thought this was the non-import one.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I have had the Chinese import for a long while but today I finally decided to start it. I know there is a lot of negativity but I played it for a few hours and I don't feel it's bad at all, it's just linear. I'm actually quite enjoying myself.

 

[Kagari]

Easy mode patch is up:

Do you know if it's up for the Chinese version too?

 

[Kagari]

I can't check, I only have the Japanese version. It'll prompt you when you turn the game on though if it is.

Hi there, GAF!

Maybe I'll ask an all-around question!

I've beaten FFXIII (US) once. Now I'm planning to play it again, but with Japanese voices. Is it as simples as buying ANY Asian version?
Or is it simple as buying this version here:

Yes, that has JP voice and English subs.

 

[Woody Invincible]

I just started playing the asian version the other night. So much better on the ears. Vanille is now bearable!

 

[Let me in]

What does easy mode modify?

 

[The Praiseworthy]

For those who got the Platinum trophy.... how many hours your clocked ticked grinding and leveling everything ?

I'm re - thinking of giving the platinum trophy a chance .

 

[Averon]

Just started FF13 (PS3) last night. Not really a fan of the dialog (I hope they drop that 'hero' schtick soon) and I don't have much issue with the linearity...yet. The battle system seems deep and a faster paced version of FF12. My only complaint is that I'm having a hard time keeping up with everything that's happening on screen.

Nia Teppelin 2.0 makes it so much better.

Need XIII-2 Asian Version.

 

[colinp]

No patch downloaded for the Chinese version for me, alas.

 

[Kagari]

You deal more damage, especially when the enemy is in Break status. Increased drop rates.

 

[Dark Schala]

Ugh, if only I had held out on that patch--I wouldn't have taken so long to plat the English version, and would've done it with the JP version instead...

141 hours of mentally taxing frustration in the NA version.

Spoiler

Technically, I spent 200 hours with this game since I got the story trophies with the Japanese version.

The patch should remedy that, though. You now get Easy Mode in the PS3 JP version:
- players deal even more damage when you get an enemy into break status
- item drop rates are higher -- essential to making your Treasure Hunter trophy easier to get

I hope they drop that 'hero' schtick soon

HERO SANJOU.

 

[MechaX]

I swear I will replay this game if this comes out to the US version.

 

[Kagari]

Hmm, I just beat the final boss in about a minute, lol.

But that only for the JP version now.... is there any news if this is coming to the NA version too?

Hmm, I just beat the final boss in about a minute, lol.

So you can just chance to easy mode from the menu settings? no need to pick it from the start of the game?

Ok... if that so, will this effect the trophies? because there is one for beating the last form of the final boss under 5 minutes and you just did it in 1 !!!

Yes, and I got that trophy XD

You can switch it in the Config, yes. I continued from an old save and it worked fine.

oh wow... that is so sweet

I doubt it. I'd actually finish the play-thru on the PS3 I got going. I never liked the difficulty in the game. I died so many times in the 360 version. Mostly on bosses though.

 

[Sinople]

OMG yes!
I was so frustrated with fighting again and again those giants turtle/mammoth things for hours all for nothing.

Nice, I might go back and max out everyone's weapons and then put the difficulty back up and wreck some shit. BECAUSE I CAN.
