Can't seem to fill up the Total Critical thing all the way. The first couple parts of the not-alternate-path always stay like half filled

also my team is Lightning, Onion Knight, Bartz, and Zidane. The sentences they string together are great because they always start super upbeat and end on a dour note

 

[QisTopTier]

Zidane/Ashe/Terra/Lightning

^_^/ Love em all

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

No Shantotto love!

 

[Kagari]

Tina _>_

Tina.

 

[rpmurphy]

OK, WoL, Terra, Cecil

 

[Bururian]

Warrior of Light, Cecil, Squall, Terra

 

[Beth Cyra]

Cloud/Squall/Vaan/Lightning

 

[lobdale]

Cloud/Cecil/Tidus/Lightning

Get at me. Also I find it interesting that since FFIV, every third game (7, 10, 13) has had a sequel or game to expand the story.

4, too, which had The After Years.

 

[Beth Cyra]

4, too, which had The After Years.

Well at this point, it really should be said that it's pretty much every game since VII.

Not only that but IV had after years as you mentioned as well as V having the Legend of The Crystal OVA. In fact each game aside from VI, VII and IX have had story extensions. It could be argued that while IX didn't didn't have a story extension that it shouldn't count as it's theme and feel was used as the base for the Crystal series and even had a Stilzskin (sp?) crossover.

 

[Dark Schala]

Depends.

Zidane, Tidus, Butz, and Onion Knight for FMS. Though sometimes I throw a character from the game that's represented in for the character bonus.

Cloud, Shantotto, Warrior of Light, and random fellow/lady for BMS.

 

[cosmicblizzard]

Ever play Kenka Bancho?

Nope. It have something similar?

Speaking of which

Let's go, we fight, determinant, for nothing!

WOOWOO

 

[Prinny]

Terra/Cloud/Squall/Light for now.

Terra/Cloud/Aeris/Seph when they're unlocked.

 

[Munkyspace]

Terra/Cloud/Aeris/Seph when they're unlocked.

Awkward.

 

[Electivirus]

Lightning/WoL/Tidus/Terra.

 

[Wiz]

I want to unlock Vivi so bad but it seems like crystals are gained at random.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

So who's the strongest magic user?

Shantotto, Terra, Aerith or Vivi?

 

[laika09]

I want to unlock Vivi so bad but it seems like crystals are gained at random.

Play Dark Notes until you get an Orange Shard drop then do it again.

 

[zashga]

Are unlockable characters considered spoilers for this game? Just out of an abundance of caution...

Spoiler

Is it weird that I thought Faris was Edgar the first time I saw her? Her sprites all have purple hair in FF5, but I guess the original concept art was blonde.

I haven't actually unlocked her yet, so if you'll excise me...

 

[Wiz]

Play Dark Notes until you get an Orange Shard drop then do it again.

Okay will do.

 

[Regulus Tera]

FUCK

ARROWS

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Man, this game just keeps on giving and giving. It's just so fun. Maybe a little too much grinding for my tastes, but still... so good and relentlessly entertaining.

Also, for anyone interested, it's a day later than expected, but my review is up:

[Whogie]

Cecil, Terra, Cloud, Shantotto

Haven't seen those silver notes that add extended mode (I forget what it's called) in a while. How do those work?

Love how Vaan says "I'm Basch!" in the title screen.

 

[EvilMario]

Terra / Cecil / Bartz / Onion Knight

Swapping in Vaan once in a while, but the shirtless chibi scares me.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

The fuck is a Proficard?

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Terra, Squall, Vaan and Cecil.

Vaan will go away once I unlock

[Kagari]

Put in 11 hours total now. Time for a break.

 

[PixyJunket]

No magic?!

I didn't know I was picking more than which characters I liked.

 

[Bururian]

The fuck is a Proficard?

When you streetpass other people with the game, let's you know who it was/their current party, what song they play most, their Rm, and possibly gives a Dark Note that you might not already have.

 

[laika09]

It seems not to activate in stoic mode for some reason. Same with summons.

 

[Kyou]

So which number determines a dark note's difficulty? Is it the "No. XX" or the "Mv.XX"?

 

[eudaemonic]

So I have Terra/Zidane/Cecil/Onion Knight

Really liking this so far. I didn't play Elite Beat but I loved the crap outta Taiko no Tatsujin on the DS. Wish the Hori stand I bought for my DSi hugged the 3DS properly but ah well.

This game is only gonna get better on the 3DS XL. *drool*

 

[TheExodu5]

The note charts are messed up in so many places. Theme of Love is a mess (in whatever the regular story mode difficulty is). The holds end at such an awkward and off tempo place.

I general I have this problem with the Event tracks, I think just because they tend to be much slower.

 

[laika09]

I'll ask again, lol.

Is there any purpose of playing through the "series" and "challenge" mode once you've played through all songs at least once and start with Chaos Shrine?

So you can pick any song/difficulty combo you want?

 

[rpmurphy]

You unlock Expert and Ultimate difficulty levels by getting rank A or better on the songs in Challenge mode.

Also, you'll probably have a better time actually beating those stages than the Dark Notes, and thus gaining more character levels, items, and Rhythmia.

 

[zroid]

I think I have a new winner:

At last, we, er, go heroically! Kupo

 

[Evlar]

This game seems to hit the battery particularly hard.

 

[Bururian]

Absolutely! I'm already charging twice today with 4 and a half hours of gameplay. Or maybe it seems to be going by quick because I haven't played with my 3DS in awhile and forgotten how short battery life was.

Glad I'm not the only one to notice this. In the last day, I've had to charge my 3DS three times from playing this game alone.

 

[isny]

Nyko Power Pak + turn the 3D slider down all the way = profit

Even then though the battery life is still abysmal. And the Wii U controller battery life is going to be even worse...ugh...

This game is fantastic. The "normal" difficulty is too easy, but the dark notes give you a run for your money. The presentation is also top notch, with cute character designs, hilarious dialogue, and exciting visuals during a song. I never thought I'd see a FFXIII cutscene on the 3DS. I need to unlock Eyes on Me.

 

[dallow_bg]

I've gotten some of those cards while playing, I thought the passwords would get you special PW only stuff.
I'll just keep playing normally.

This game is selling out FAST. I went to three different stores today trying to find a copy for a friend, all sold out.

Shades of the Japanese release.
