I took EB's advice and gained a bunch of easy XP pts in Gongora's garden. 

Where should I go next?  I'll like to gain some Skill slots before completing the game.

:bow JANSEN :bow2

The characters in this game are kick-ass.  LO is like FF but without the characters that make you want to neck yourself.

Jansen is awesome, just wait until you meet Cooke.

Numara Atoll?  I think that's where I got my ass thoroughly handed to me.  I went there as soon as I was able to move around the map but I'll have to go there when I've leveled up a bit (a lot).

Jansens japanese voice is awesome. so great :bow2

I finally got a perfect last night! Ring system is awesome, but I sometimes forget to hold down RT when someone starts attacking. I like the way the put the tutorials in too, it's all pretty common sense (tanks up front etc) but it's well integrated. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the Skill Link/Item Skill stuff, basically it seems like you just keep linking new skills if you've learned the other ones already. I think I learned all of Jansen's skills in about 20mins.

also smh @ people complaining about loading times. The loading for random battles isn't that bad.

Sweet.  I'm usually a pretty decent level in RPGs because I run back and forth a fair bit making sure I haven't missed any little corners.

I find myself in the menus quite a bit linking skills and so on, which is unusual but at the same time I really don't mind it.  I agree the load times are not even close to long enough to justify the insane moaning that has gone on.

Dammit I wish my HDTV would be back from repairs - I'm dying to get back into this.

Nah, the Auction House is just for items you missed that you cant go back to (due to story events)

They're really easy to win, if you do it near the end of the game. Just plunk down like $1000 per item

My story:

I sit on the first floor, and get Soul Absorbed by enemies, so all my Immortals had Critical HP (but at least more than 1 HP, so Persistence would kick in).

At the end, I swapped Sed for Jansen, thinking I could use his Double Cast to pinch off some Reflects (You can nullify Annihilation with a simple Reflect, did you know that?)

Turn 1: Everyone slams him with Reversa, Killalon counters with Forceus and takes Jansen out... oops. He casts Generatus (he ALWAYS casts Generatus)

Turn 2: The reflect round (he ALWAYS casts Reflect). Had each immortal Double Cast 1 Reflect, and 1 Reversa, and hope for the best. You need to pinch off three Reversas to get rid of his Reflect -- VERY NECESSARY, he gains 20k HP per round, you want to attack with no remorse.) This works extremely in my favor. Kaim absorbs an attack, the other two are hit, but Persistence kicks in for both.

Turn 3: Kaim has 9999 HP, so he's stuck to Divide, he's out this turn (takes 2 turns for some reason), the rest slam the Reversa. He comes back with Annihilation -- but Reflect actually WORKS, and it reflects back onto him (I freaked and thought he casted it twice). Unfortunately, he is immune to even the end of the world.

Turn 4: 60k HP left, my fingers are crossed, and he's charging for another Annihilation. I am unsure if Reflect is still on my characters, so it's all or nothing. This time Kaim is in the battle, and pinches off double Divide, while Seth finishes the job with the final Reversa (Killalon would have been next after... and my possible demise).

So, I win. Yay!

Game is better than FFX. And I'm a FF cigarillo.

They need a better villain in the next game though. The villain in LO was horrendous. His character model sucked and his lip-sync was horrible.

And the dreams must become cutscenes, I'm not reading that shit.

Good man!

Overall I've found the game good on savepoints thankfully - I think that snake one was the worst one up to the start of disk 3 anyway.

No, you can give any of the seeds to any pipot. Getting 99 is required as they give you an accessory required for Treasure Trove and All Skills Learned achievements

There's a seperate quest where you have to give certain pipots a certain seed

Yeah, you can give them seeds across the game, there are different items earned at certain amounts, but overall you need 99 if you want Treasure Trove or All Skills Learned

Also, I wouldnt worry about synthesizing items -- except later on, when you can fuse Fire Bombs (2x Fire Bomb == Power Burst)

I can't stay away from this game - my HDTV is still away so I started playing on my 51cm CRTV on the weekend.  This game is so pretty I didn't want to miss the little subtle details from the lower resolution but sitting close to the screen it's working alright.

God I love this game.

don't forget that when you are are at a higher level, the lower level characters catch up very quickly.  for instance if you are at level 23 monsters and ming is level seventeen, she will gain a level each fight until she is at level 23, which comes to only 5 fights instead of countless hours of grinding.  it makes party decisions easy and if you change your mind, catching up won't be that hard.

I generally keep Kaim and Seth out front and Jansen in the back all the time.  Then I regularly rotate between Sarah+Cooke or Ming+Mack in the back so that everyone stays levelled up.

Cooke and Mack were kind of useless until I got them doing level 4 black magic.  Now Cooke is pretty useful.   I haven't really figured out what the hell Mack is good for - he's average at everything.  I tried him in front row for a while to bolster my GC, but it wasn't really much use - Kaim & Seth provide sufficient GC.

What do you guys use the little bastard for?  Just use him for skill links or what?

Yeah I've been using Kaim+Seth up front with Jansen, Cooke and Ming at the back. I love Cooke's healing, and Ming I need for the combination magic.

I like Mack's shitty Shadow spell and Spirit magic, and he actually seem's to have a decent basic attack. But since I have Seth and Kaim with Power Slash and Wall I don't need more basic attacks or GC upgrades. Once I've sucked him dry of skills then I'll probably retire him.

I used Kaim and Seth and all mortals so they could rank up their skills, then when they were getting close to maxed I got rid of them for the immortals.

No reason to waste time training Ming lvl 3 white magic when I can cut to the chase later on.
