Exactly. I did around 30 missions and that was enough. I am now in chapter 12 and I'm hoping this will all be over really soon. I really just wanna finish the game ASAP. But it did give me hope that XIII-2 will be fun to play, since people say that one does away with The Tube and there's tons of stuff to do, even if the plot is even more nonsensical.
Gran Pulse is usually seen as the light at the end of the tunnel that is XIII but sadly, once you explore everything you'll find it's not any larger than the Gaur Plains from Xenoblade and has even less content since the Cieth Stone quests are like shoddy versions of XII's better Mark Hunts. It's great in the beginning but once you spend a few hours in there (and you will because why on earth would you be rushing back to the Tube) you'll find it gets old pretty fast. It is definitely the high point of the game's gameplay but that isn't really saying much.
So my mom's computer is really powerful and it turns out Steam automatically records my save files on a cloud drive, so I went a bit further in FFXIII. So far I've reached Gran Pulse. And guess what? I really like it. But it also made me hate the game itself more. The place has by far the least annoying and repetitive scenes, I can finally stick with the only decent people in the party (Sazh, Fang and Lightning), and I actually get a minimally less ristricted access to the crustarium. That and the world is beautiful and I was surprised with how fun it is to explore and how satisfying the mark hunts are. But that makes me hate the game more because, from what I understand, this is almost the end of the game. And I had to struggle through twenty hours of unvearable hallways just to get this one little bit of freedom by the end. Heck, XIII would have been a decent game even with it's stupid plot if only the rest of the game was like Gran Pulse instead of that... thing we got.
Whose to say?
You're the last person Id expect to undergo such a phase, but who can tell? XD
I'll do it when I'm famous and going through my "asshole famous" stage.
Of course But it's still healthy to acknowledge your skills from time to time!
I'm just hard on myself because if I wasn't my ego would swell and no one wants that.
Thank you! I really didn't expect to do well. And if I recall well, you sent me a poem to read, right? It really wasn't bad. Don't put yourself down, Wolf. You're a great writer
Well you did a good job. Better than the mess I wrote.
