good, when you plan to sell again, let me know.

What you waiting for ?! Go get it!!!

Played almost 110 hours (finished main story and now go for plat), never experienced freeze before, and never heard of any complaint on freeze for FF13, where you read the complaint?

Probably that guy playing 24 hours per day until the PS3 overheat, and hang. User problem I guess.

Collecting gils is the hardest part in FF13, take times.

Added on June 7, 2010, 9:31 amNope, main story I think just took me around 70-80 hours, probably less than that. The 100 hours including wandering at Gran Pulse, completing 64 missions, hunting for platinum ingots, trapz and dark matter. Is depend on player how they play. Of course the hours was based on the hours shown by FF13, also included the moment I left it running when I am having my meals and doing other house works.

Cannot turn on PS3? I think he overheat his PS3 or his PS3 is time to change, mind to share the link?
I don't think he can successfully sue SE, because look at how many customers SE has, only he complaint, probably is his problem only, overuse PS3 with too long hours.

No, you can only back to Gran Pulse (Chapter 11) and Eden Hall when you reached chapter 12, 13 and after finished the final boss.

Ya, I also agree hunting Sacrifice. Better hunt before finished the final boss. If not mistaken, after finish the story, can't go back to hunt Sacrifice in the cradle, only can hunt at Eden Hall. Right now, I am just farming Adamantoise for Plat Ingot and Trapz. Got 2 Trapz so far, have to move on to max Kain's Lance and dismantle it.

I think you no need to keep reactivate the Mission 63 to kill Adamantortoise to grind for gils, because walk too far. You can try hunting Adamantoise at Eden Hall, shorter walking distance to respawn the Adamantoise and on the way killing those sanctum guards can gain some Incentive Chips and Credit Chips for more gils.

Just finished mission 64 with total around 7-8 tries on Sunday. Something to share here, the strategy below try 1 time success to get 5 stars after some refinement from few tries on different paradigm before:

My 3 chars all fully leveled, equipped with ultimate weapons, party members: Fang/Lightning/Hope

Equipped Fang and Lightning with Genji Glove, useful for COM/COM/RAV paradigm after staggered. Also equipped with Gold Watch if want to hit 5 stars.

Use Aegisol and Fortisol before start the batter.

Paradigm:
1. SEN/SEN/SEN - to minimize the damage of Whicked Whirl
2. SAB/SAB/SAB - prepared to debuff it especially after he cured and buffed itself.
3. SEN/SYN/SYN - Fang SYN ability a bit different with Hope and Lightning, better use her as SEN or maybe SAB.
4. RAV/RAV/RAV - to boost the chain fastest
5. COM/COM/RAV - to hit hard it when staggered
6. MED/MED/MED - To heal your party as fast as possible when necessarily

At the beginning, it has a routine of attack, if you found out it's pattern, then is very easy to kill it.

Start out with all the shrouds, and then go in with SAB/SAB/SAB, debuff it for 1 time, then quickly change to RAV/RAV/RAV to try to stagger it, if you lucky, maybe able to stagger it and kill a number of HP, because it will go into Impenetrable Aura very fast. Then cure your party to full HP, change to SAB/SAB/SAB, and prepare Fang with DEPROTECT/DESHELL (3 ATB), and SLOW (3 ATB), leave the DISPEL job to Hope and Lightning. Give another fast round of debuffed, probably if you saw Deprotect and Deshell and Slow ON, change to RAV/RAV/RAV again, once staggered go for COM/COM/RAV until it Impenetrable Aura, this might continue for around 3-4 rounds before it gone mad with more fierce and fast attack.

Then when it didn't go to Impenetrable Aura too often and attacked longer (with Wicked Whirl and Wind Shear) and debuffing you, then you might keep close to your buff and HP, use MED/MED/MED and SEN/SYN/SYN when necessarily. Don't let your buff gone to 0, at least Shell, Protect and Haste has to be ON.

Then all we have to do is race to death.

Added on June 15, 2010, 10:00 amI think is better hunt for the 6 bomb, more CP and easy to stagger and kill.
Don't worry about CP at the moment, you will have a lot of high CP mob to kill later.

Once you enter a battle, you can pause and click on RETRY, will not quit to the menu, unless you are not in a battle.

Definitely. Slow is the important key. Well, if you help to cast DEPROTECT or DESHELL first, then lightning and Hope will have chance to cast POISON or IMPERIL as well, make it much more easy to kill.

I also surprise with this strategy, one time can get 5 stars liao. Forgot the time, but I remember I got the Point was around 15K, which mean still got some buffer left.

Answer both questions:

You just need to have the every non upgraded/upgraded accessory/weapon one time in your inventory, consider you got it. No need to collect all and put in your inventory.

Added on June 15, 2010, 2:08 pmCOM/RAV/RAV more than enough.
Blitz them with COM, normally they will get closer to each other when they attempt to attack your member.

I am now left Treasure Hunter mission. Once I collected this Treasure Hunter, I'll confirm with you again on accessories part.

This post has been edited by Amras of Nargothrond: Jun 15 2010, 03:18 PM

Until now, I only unlock 3 Extra. How to unlock all the Extra? I am almost finished the game, just left Treasure Hunter trophy, but still only 3 Extras had been unlocked.

Name: L'Cie Paragon

Description: Earned a 5-star ranking for all Cie'th Stone missions.

Details: All 64 missions must be completed with the highest ranking of 5 stars.
Missions can be retried as many times as you wish. Generally I recommend being
close to maxed out in the Crystarium and having good weapons and accessories.
Many of the battles get a lot simpler this way. In rare cases, stronger
equipment may hurt your chances, since the required time for 5 stars decreases
as your characters gain attack and magic. In particular, mission 64 is much
easier with weak weapons by letting poison do most of the work on him. The same
might go for easy missions for which you are incredibly overleveled. Mission 35
is hard to 5-star with high stats without using a Sneak Smoke (Deceptisol).

Special: Unlocks Snow's XMB theme.

I finished all Cie'th Stone with 5 stars, but dunno why didn't unlock this extra, need to check again tonight.

Actually they can have 2 versions of FF, dunno why they want to make it same for PS3 and Xbox, really ruined the game.
Maybe don't take out for PS3, since BD can fill up.

Equipped with Genji Glove, which you will obtained in Mission 62.

Maybe you are at the wrong spot.
You need to jump in from the area nearby the 7 Cie'th stone. You will see the yellow spot there. That area called Eastern Tors, there are a lot of Navidon.

I killed all the minions first before go for Neochu.
Actually those minions easier to stagger and kill, try to get rid of them first.
Then only use Vanille cast Death to kill Neochu. I got lucky with one try and 5 stars in this mission.

Is it? I thought Neochu will not summon the minions back, but Ochu.
Or maybe I got lucky, by killed the minions first, then killed Neochu before he had the chance to summon the minions...

Yeah... The hardest boss is the final mission 64. Really need full upgrade of your weapons, full CP level, and only you can fight, and not 100% win, must act fast according to it's fighting style.

Finally, I got the platinum trophy!!! After nearly 130 hours of play. phew...
Now can proceed to next game.

Added on June 22, 2010, 9:58 amThis is very weird... How come can the Highwind kill the Adamantoise even still have almost 50% HP left...

I fought so many times, I need to drop Adamantoise's HP to very low only can kill by Highwind... and I already equipped Genji Glove, and Fang's full CP, strength also close to 3K... very weird...

Anything I missed out?
