Fang and Vanille make an appearance in XIII-2 and talk to you, but it's not until late in the game. Otherwise you just hear Hope and Snow talking about saving them and that they hold up Cocoon.

For the rest of my life? Tales of Symphonia.

Controller, arcade sticks are much too expensive for my tastes. While you will probably be much better at executing moves and reacting a lot faster to the fight, I don't find it worth $150-$400 to have that advantage. I love Super Street Fighter 4, and I do just fine with a 360 controller. I'm the person playing Ibuki…

Yeah the last boss final form destroyed me as well, gigaflare and teraflare is so cheap! I grinded in Archylte Steppe at the clearwater swamp or whatever (yellow cactuar teleport I think) in rainy weather. Got some decent CP and the drops for Potent/Mana Essence and Potent Crystals are good. Got my Gold Chocobo to 45…

I spent time there listening to the music... And I like how they recycled some of the music from XIII in for 2 or 3 of the weathers. Will to Fight is one of my favorite tunes from XIII (thunder weather in XIII-2 Archylte steppe).

So last night I bought the Lightning and Amolar fight for XIII-2 and I must say... IT'S BLOODY ANNOYING THAT THEY WONT DROP THE CRYSTALS SO I CAN USE THEM!

Make sure to get Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Uncharted is a great series :D

I just beat XIII-2 last night and I liked the game a lot. If you enjoyed XIII then you will probably enjoy XIII-2 more, they refined the battle system a bit and the monster system is pretty intuitive compared to other games that tried implementing a monster catching system. Oh and the places you go to aren't hallways…

Pretty sure protecting the system from hackers falls into security threat precautions and fixes. I don't exactly agree with the policy of no one can hack the PS3 and be online with it at the same time, but it's understandable that security threats need to be fixed.

So bug fixes, updates, etc., aren't meaningful?

Do all of the loyalty missions, including the DLC character loyalty since you already have them. Non DLC character loyalty missions reward you if you talk to the person after gaining their loyalty (rewards include ship parts). Just a warning, if you miss one mission or dont talk to them after the loyalty mission you…

I'm just getting Serah and Noel leveled up, along with my chocobos. Noel should have enough HP now to survive if he has the sentinel role activated (he has a bit over 5000HP now, not sure about Serah though, she only has like 3354 or something). I've never fought a final boss in a game that I couldn't beat without…

All the side mission DLC (Shadow Broker in particular) are great buys. Characters are pretty good buys too, since it also gives them a loyalty mission for you to do. The extra characters also make it harder for people to die at the end, so it could be worth it in that sense too.

I got a blue on my first kill, if you kill monsters with Feral Links you have a better chance to get the monster in your party. I still can't get a purple one though, they just don't want to join my group =(

It's Mass Effect, it probably wont be that hard to get the best ending in the first or second playthrough. The way I understand it is it's mainly just based on what you do in game to get the good endings, the multiplayer makes it so you can do less of those things and still end up with the good ending.

It doesn't force you to play multiplayer, they're separate from each other. The multiplayer just makes it easier to get the best ending with galactic standing points or whatever, but you can get the best ending regardless of whether or not you play multiplayer.

Just be glad he didn't spoil the last form, I wont say what it is but it's a fuggin asshole to beat. If you're playing or will play XIII-2, make sure to have good monster pals and keep up with levels, it brick walls you if you're not good enough. I haven't beaten the final boss because of this.

So I found a good farming spot in XIII-2, it's in Archylte Steppe's clearwater marshes or whatever it's called in rainy weather (take the yellow cactuar). I have like 80 Potent Crystals (or whatever the rank 5 one is) and I was able to get my green and blue chocobos to 65 from 40, as well as my Gold CHocobo maxed to…

I'm still CP farming and monster level item farming, I can't beat the damn last boss. Stupid Gigaflare/Teraflare kills me even with Serah and Noel as SEN when it's used near the boss' death. Working on getting my Green Chocobo to 99 so I can have 3 good MED's in one paradigm to remove ailments and heal like crazy…

You said "then fuse it to your Gigantaur, then it would no longer be locked", so I assumed you thought the skill was locked.
