If anyone has any issues installing the game, try signing out of all profiles then installing.

Apparently a select few people aren't able to install the game. My wife got the limited edition version, maybe thats why? No idea. But that's the work around.

Worked normally for me.

Just got my 1K earlier this afternoon

Hopefully some of the DLC has achievements

Does anyone have any recommendations as to how to go about selling/trading the Omega pre-order code? eBay is a crapshoot with its copyright rules on such things...

Really excited to start playing this one... soon, soon

OK bumping this for people who bought this at BB for $15 and b/c I need HELP and I trust the people here. Asking for help on GameFAQs is so bad ...

Anyway I'm at the boss in chapter 3, part 1 that you have to beat to meet Hope. I have tried to beat this boss about 20 times and the best I can do is get him to 25-50% health left. I have Serah as a lvl 30 ravager, lvl 15 commando; Noel is lvl 33 commando, lvl 9 ravager; and I have a lvl 14 Cat Sith medic, lvl 20 Pulse Knight sentinel, and a lvl 10 Uridemmu commando.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

You're under leveled. Go level up some more or change to difficulty to Easy.

I seriously have to level grind to beat the 4th boss in the game?! Thanks but man that's horrible game design by SE. Glad I only paid $15 for this.

First RPG?

Umm no. I've beaten tens of RPG's in my lifetime, but for the game to be designed to where I get to the 4th boss and I've fought 90% of the random battles thrown at me (not counting the behemoth at the beginning of 3-1 the game tells you to avoid) and I've properly used the leveling mechanic and I'm too weak to beat the boss put in front of me? That's just bad game design.

Compare that to something like Dragon Age, Witcher 2, or even Mass Effect when you rarely, if ever, have to go outside the quests provided just to fight monsters to gain levels. Compare it to the best JRPG's like the Tales series, earlier FF games, Lost Odyssey, etc. where you have made significant progress, or are at the end of the game, before you have to level grind to beat your next obstacle.

Which boss is it again Hitman? I agree that "grind more" probably isn't the answer.

It's not the giant tomato flan is it? You're not supposed to be able to beat that boss on a first playthrough, you're supposed to leave and go somewhere else.

Hmmm I never had to grind at all when I was playing this. Only grinding was post game trying to get all the crystals.

I can't wait to try this out. Should have my copy by the weekend.

Got about 12 hours in this so far. So far, I have not had a single problem yet. I just run RAV/RAV/COM then switch to RAV/RAV/RAV for just about every battle. I have yet to use a MED/SAB/SYN. I have used SEN though. Most of the bosses I've fought so far have all died in 1 Stagger. I guess it's not too bad for me since I kind of remember how the battle system works from the first game.

So far I'm really enjoying it though. It's pretty cool that you can pretty much go wherever you want, but most places are usually too hard. I wasn't supposed to be able to take on Feral Behemoths, but I was killing them for a decent amount of time with help from my Pulsework Soldier.

The story is getting to be pretty confusing with running into the same people across the timelines and them having different personalities (?) Still, the graphics are amazing and the music is good and I have a general idea of what's going on. Hopefully the boss battles start to pick up a little bit though.

Thanks for ressurecting this thread Bigpimpin! I was looking forit earlier but couldn't find it.

I just got the game from the gamefly sale. I noticed there is a ton of dlc for it, any suggestions on what is good to buy at the beginning of the game? I know to avoid the lightning dlc until after the game.

I had the same problem. Then I realized there's a setting in the bottom left corner that only displays threads up to a certain time. Mine was set at "Display threads in the past month" So this one was cut off.

As for the DLC: From what I have read, pretty much the majority of the DLC is better post game. Some of the monsters you get can make the game extremely easy or so I've read. I haven't got any of the DLC yet and I'm not sure if I even will. The only one that might be a possibility for me is the second Lightning one since it supposedly clears up the ending.

They are mostly all Colosseum battles which wouldn't be worth it for me because although I enjoy the battle system, I can't imagine keeping too busy fighting the same battle over and over.

OMG have i been playing wrong? i thought commandos do more damage to staggered enemys and ravagers are there to just chain up to staggered

Well it depends on your focus. You're pretty much right in that RAV is to chain up the stagger. The reason I start off with a COM though is because they make the Stagger bar not drain as fast. Once I get that hit in, I switch over to triple RAV so I can boost the Stagger extremely fast. I switch back and forth between the two but the higher the stagger % = more damage

So if a monster is staggered at 200%, you will do double damage to it. Doesn't matter if you're a COM or a RAV. You can keep chaining this up all the way up until 999% though in which case you will do 10 times normal damage until the bar runs out. Even though my Noel is not really good at the RAV role, he still does decent enough damage that I'll use him just to increase the meter. That way when I do a Paradigm shift to refill my ATB guage, he will do a lot more damage as a COM

If you're interested in any of the costumes or weapons, get them ASAP so you can use them more. None of the weapons are really better than the base stuff in the game though, just a little different. The costumes are totally cosmetic, no stat boosts or anything.

As for the coliseum battles, the Lightning/Amodar one is good for when you're about 1/2 to 2/3 through the story, since it's possible (but not easy) to tame Lightning that early, and she's an awesome Ravager who will help out a ton for the rest of the story and in the endgame. Plus, it's Lightning, come on.

All of the other coliseum battles are strictly endgame, you won't be able to tame them any earlier.

I used RAV/COM/RAV and COM/COM/RAV for probably 90% of that game. It's way easier than FF13 overall.

i remember an article on IGN where everyone was SOOOO PISSED that they had the N7 armor and were charging it and saying they were greedy and ime like.....dont buy it if you dont want it jeeze, its extra, lol, but you bet your ass i got the N7 armor, it looks awesome

I'm just about an hour into the game, so I haven't bought the N7 armor for Noelle yet. Still getting a feel to make sure I dig the game. But, I'd buy N7 armor for just about anything. I'm a pure sucker for Mass Effect and even have the N7 logo on my Jeep.

Good to know about Lightning, Ryuu. I'd like having her as the 3rd in the party instead of some flan or something.
