I as a Final Fantasy fans, are one of them that would love to have the old battle system like Final Fantasy VII back. Or maybe Final Fantasy X. Though this evolution has made the gameplay become so much different, but as a fan, we always support and get the game and play. To be honest, I'm quite enjoy the cinematic though. tongue.gif

What I love the Final Fantasy games is the storyline. Ya, I do agree FF13 doesn't have up and down emotion story like Final Fantasy 8, 9, 10. But I am quite happy with the overall battle system.

So in love with the old time monster like iron giant, behemoth, chimera etc..... wub.gif wub.gif wub.gif

I played like around 20min just now before i went to work. Here is my feedback.

1) The main screen is the same as FFIV PC, FFIII PC. It seems like they are trying to make it consistent. Also, all of them doesn't come with graphic setting. I understand the reason it doesn't apply on FFIV and III is because their graphic is really like big block only. But for FFXIII. A bit shock that we cannot change any graphic setting. But I have to admit, if FFXIII wants to do something like graphic setting, it will take even longer time for them to release the game. Cause they have to do ALOT ALOT ALOT of graphic testing including, resolution test, texture test, and even need to path further if there is new graphic card that may cause some bug on the game.

2) CGI is beautiful.... Ya I know is 720p. But I have admit, compare with TV console game. This is considered a great CGI and interface. Everything is sharp and nice color and crispy. I really enjoy the cinematic screen.

3) I seriously don't like the ESC button as quit without asking " are you sure?". I usually don't click ESC cause for all my Final Fantasy games... I never use ESC at all. So not a problem to me.

4) Japanese talking with English. Well, I'm fine though. Considering I watch Anime all the while with Japanese Voice and English Sub. Though its abit weird while my other FF games are all English voices. But I can accept it.

I'm hope they will release some patch for this game. ( I hope so, cause I've never seen square enix release patches for steam game, not for FF at least ). I guess graphic setting will retain like this, but graphic details and resolution, i think they maybe able to fix it.

Anyhow, considering able to play this game without buying PS3 Console, and save me hunrdeds of Ringgit. Its really worth to buy though with so much issue. As a FF fans. Long Live Final Fantasy rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif ...................... FOR PC!!

well, seems like u got ROW version. that means you can switch the voice from ENG to JPN and vice-versa bro.
but for this series, the ENG voice is not bad at all.

Will I be able to switch to English Voice? How ? @_@ So far I haven't been able to explore all settings yet. tongue.gif

Hmm, I now at Chapter 10 the last chapter before I can roam the place. Here is quite tough as I save a lot of point in crystal. I plan to add all crystal now. May I know each character best job point to add into. For example,

Fang: Commander.
Snow: Sentinel
Vanille: Medic
Hope: Ravanger
Lightning: Ravanger
Sazh: Ravanger

Fang and Snow are almost 100% certain those are their first main job. But I have doubt for others. Any sifu can recommend?

Also, if you guys can also can advise on the secondary job.

I know it can be depend on my gameplay, but I would like to know generally what do you guys decide on their job. Thanks!!!

No farming needed until Eden. As long you don't intentionally skip/sneak by any mobs along the way to Eden, go with the Ceith stone mission flow of number, your party members crystarium growth should be on par to any mob or boss you meet.

As [d]-ky said, no need to invest in non-innate role first. The growth value per CP invested not really worth it. The only non-innate role  I go for is the medic and nothing else to boost healing augmentation value of other main healers when I need speed healing in MED/MED/MED.

There's no fixed role for each party members. All their 3 natural roles are very useful when used at the right situation, timing and combination. Go wild and experiment them and see what combo suit your playstyle. Here's some of mine (just a tip of an iceberg, there's whole lot more combination I got):

Sazh/Hope/anyone
Sazh as commander is good against enemies that move around alot or have high evasion properties. Sazh/Hope opens up a combo for speed synergy build up when enemy is immune to alot of debuff. Don't autobuff when you're controlling one of Sazh/Hope, go manual control so both won't like cast haste on the same party member.
COM/RAV/RAV (Standard battle starter)
RAV/RAV/RAV (Speed stagger meter build up)
COM/MED/MED (Speed heal + holding stagger meter, works well with triple RAV)
SYN/SYN/SAB (When enemies are tough)

Fang/Vanille/anyone
COM/RAV/RAV (Standard)
SAB/SAB/RAV (For speed success debuff, 2 SAB have better success debuff rate than 1 SAB. Remember that role bonus affect other members too, not just self)
COM/MED/MED (Speed heal)
SEN/RAV/COM (To survive mass mob, if you still haven't got any 3 ATB nukes)
SEN/MED/COM

Light/Snow/Sazh
COM/RAV/RAV (Standard)
RAV/RAV/RAV (Speed stagger meter)
COM/COM/COM (If only one staggered enemy with at least 500% staggered status)
COM/SEN/RAV
MED/SEN/SYN
MED/COM/RAV

Battle tips:
- When enemies are tough, don't hesitate to start off with SYN+SAB with no offense at the beginning. It pays to be prep up for the kill. Debuffed enemies contributes to the speed of RAV building up stagger meter, even more so when you hit them on their elemental weakness after imperil debuff.
- Abuse that launch effect skill whenever you can (either by COM or RAV). Launched enemies = semi-dazed enemies. They can do nothing to you (or themselves) in this situation. Launched enemies are helpful to stagger meter build up too.
- When dealing against a single enemy, prioritize SAB over SYN. It's quicker to debuff 1 enemy than buff 3 allies. (Only applicable if enemy is not immune to debuff and you can survive their nukes if any.)
- Don't rely fully on "auto"-battle. Occasionally you'll need to go manual to control the battle. Recognize when to hit early/late, when to nuke, which enemy to aim (position awareness), which buff/debuff to prioritize. Control the battle well and you'll be awarded with 5-stars rating where auto-battle could not.

Wow. Thanks. This is what I called "Helpful". I currently farming abit on one place whereby there are 10 mobs need to kill in the ark so I can max all 3 primary roles for everyone. Still in progress though. Abit slow recently cause I also play football manager 2015 and Shadow of Mordor.... Too many games...Argh....

Feel like wanna wait for the patch release then I will continue with the story line. But geeze... Never thought they will release XIII-2 just 2 month after the 13. I guess Square Enix wants to eagerly earn money cause currently they dont seem to have famous game running on after lightning returns.

My doubts is that the next Final Fantasy which is importing to PC is FF9, which is one of my favourites as well because of the rich storyline and gameplay. Then after that will be 10 and 10-2. rclxm9.gif
