I found the story quite enjoyable from the get go making the characters easily connectible. Also, you're suppose to view Lightning as a twisted version of Cloud in the beginning of the game. You're making this sound like you haven't played very far into the game (Warning possible spoiler ahead). When Lightning has her epiphany later on in the game she stops being the twisted Lightning because she realizes it was wrong and that she was also leading Hope to a path of self destruction. It was planned for you to view Lighning that way. Also, she was designed off of Cloud so that explains the Cloud part.

As for the voice acting I won't go into any detail, but I don't find any of them annoying. I think they nailed every single character perfectly.




This makes no sense what so ever. You want them to let you choose your team when for the first 19-24 hours of the game most of the characters are miles and miles away from each other? Or are you simpley referring to you want to choose one of the two characters that you're partying with for most of the time. The entire team doesn't get together until way into the game and that's when you get to choose your leader and team as I am sure you know. It might just be you and your preference to do so, but I don't think the team thought it was a big enough deal to bother with having you choose one of the two characters that are together as your team leader since it wouldn't make any difference.

As for the easy part you're saying where the bosses are all shit; I really hope you're joking. You must be leveling and fighting every monster in your path if it's true because the Chapter 9 Boss is ridiculous. There is no way you fought a boss with 700,000 HP with multiple magic attacks and found it shit easy as you put it. After Chapter 9 even all the monsters go up several levels of hard. I'm not saying you're lying (well, I am, but not in the whole insult way), but I think you're over exaggerating the easiness of it.

I do realize that this is all your personal opinion, but I just had to throw my two cents out there on your issues. One last thing; Sazh is awesome.

Awesome game is awesome.

I am currently stuck on the 10th Boss. It's such bull crap he keeps healing himself.

FF13 was good the moment I put it in my PS3. I seriously don't know what everyone's problem is with the first quarter of the game. FF13 is awesome.

Lol. Those things are easy to beat. I just usually use Lightning, Hope or Vanille with Snow up against those things. The important thing is elemental attacks to stagger it. Once it's staggered it's easy to beat. Also make sure to deal with any other enemies first and then have everyone concentrate on the lizard. Make sure to use a Libera on it if you haven't used any before. You don't have to keep using Libera on each of the creatures every time as long as they're the same species. If they're the same species, but a different element then you have to use Libera again.

If you think that's tough you're gonna shit yourself when you get to the boss for chapter 9.

Well, I got beat again. I know that I am doing everything right though because I got him down a lot lower than last time. I just need to level more and get stronger. I have been running past a lot of fights throughout the game and now I am paying for it.

Edit: FUCK YEAH IN YOUR FACE CHAPTER 9 BOSS! I will put my method down in detail.

Still on 9th boss.

Are you fucking serious? This is BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT I SAY! You guys gotta read this for the 9th boss.

The 9th Boss. Single most hardest boss yet.

The 7th boss and the 3rd Summon.



Yay! Get to play and stare at Lightning some more.

Also, the theme park was beautiful. Get to see some Chocobos! All of them looked pretty damn awesome. When we get to ride them later I am going to have so much fun.

Beat sixth boss.

Do you mean the fifth boss the second time or an entirely new boss? I already beat the fifth boss twice. I might be ahead of you now.

Beat fifth boss.

Nope, not at that part yet. I think that is still quite a ways off.

So, Lightning's Revelation.

I could stare at Lightning and her body parts all day.

Did you see that one chick with the Glasses that works for PSICOM or whatever it is? She is all kinds of fine. I was like, "DAAAAAAYYYYYUUUUMMMMMM".

Yay! Get to stare at Lightning's ass and play as her again.

Me too. I was like, "I'm no coward I can take them." After 5 minutes I gave up. Didn't want to waste all my items on them.

Wow, the pretty just went up another level. The forest is beautiful. Everything from each individual puddle of water splashing to the grass swaying in the wind.

Also, don't go fucking around with big armored lizards. Those things are tough.

There is no way to pause the battle while you're selecting attacks, techniques or summons. You can pause the gameplay with the pause button, but you can't do anything while it's paused. You're fighting in real time as well as the enemies. That's why controlling more than one character would never work.

Edit: It also doesn't pause when selecting items or changing Paradigms. Keeps you on your toes.

It will probably get a 9/10 at that point. What will give it a 10/10 is for the story to pick up a little more. I need a wtf moment or a moment that brings tears to my manly eyes and then it will get a perfect 10.
