Let's all play Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2!

If you didn't know already, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII comes out next month. In fact it comes out February 11th for NA fans, the 13th for AU and the 14th for EU. In preparation for the release we're going to play through the first two games! If you haven't played the games, this is the perfect time. If you haven't beat them, why not try again? Some of you have already played it though and beat it! Well, we have some challenges for those who would like them. But why should you do the challenges? For chocobos of course! If you complete a challenge then you can get a chocobo next to your username!

How will we know if you've actually done the challenge though? This is where you come in. You'll just have to show a screenshot or picture of your progress. Beginning, middle and end time stamps! So this can be a save file, or a screenshot of whatever the challenge pertains to. Heck you can just play the game and have fun! Just beating the game even gets you a chocobo! Chocobos for everyone! If you play that is.

I beat the game a few days ago! Clocked in around 66 hours. My end game monsters were Lightning (Commando), Snow (Sentinel) and Green Chocobo (Medic)

yellow challenge:

I beat the game

red challenge:

I completed the bestiary. Sort of. I fought one of every monster and have all their names (it's required for a fragment) but I do not have all of their information i.e. things you learn with scan or libra. I'll let you decide if that's a complete challenge or not.

blue challenge:

I have all fragments

-------------------------

I didn't finish up the coliseum. The only ones I couldn't beat are Ultros and Gilgamesh. They were just too hard for me, even with a maxed out Crystarium and clever paradigm use. Also, I have 29 of 31 achievements!

That's all I'll be playing of the game for now. I'm frustrated from my coliseum losses, haha. If there's a time in the future when I want to play XIII-2 but don't want to start a new game, I'll just come back and try to get these last few things i'm missing

Here are some proof pics as well as funny adornments on monsters:

Afroception. I hope there's a smaller chocobo inside the top afro too.

Way to go LWL!

I will hopefully get FFXIII-2 done in the next week. loljk, I've been too busy with work and applying for jobs to play it enough. xD I've got half the fragments though, so I might be able to...

The goals within this Let's Play are only for save files that have been started within the past month or so. The idea being to play in anticipation of Lightning Returns February release

Congrats NathanGary!

I actually am about to finish XIII but I'm not posting it because I don't want the chocobo because this game has made me so bitter and angry

A chocobo should come from a place of love, not rage.
