I just got the final esper, (SPOILER)Zodiark, and the (SPOILER)Zodiac Spear. I'm trying to get a second one, but it'll take a while and I have only four more hunts to do. I don't think I'm going to finish anytime soon with a complete game. I'm not sure about playing time though either, I'll maybe check later.
My Levels
Vaan-99
Penelo-99
Basch-99
Ashe-31
Fran-26
Balthier-26
Final Fantasy XIII is my favorite upcoming rpg for the period of Fall 2007 to Fall 2008, beating out FF XII: RW, Lost Odyssey, FF VII: CC, FF T A2, and FF VII: BC(if it comes out in this time). Crisis Core is by much of the same team for FF VII: Before Crisis, a Japanese cellphone rpg, not out in Usa yet. All these Final Fantasy VII compilation projects(6 major ones, and four minor ones) are not from the total main Final Fantasy team, but are from other teams basically. The main FF team worked on X, then X-2, and is now working on XIII. XI was from another team, so was XII and XII: RW.Quote:

Doing side quests after arriving in Balfonheim. Currently, I'm getting whooped by Gilgamesh's second encounter. His battles are just so much fun. And Clash on the Big Bridge works perfectly.
I didn't really want to dual post, but...
Gilgamesh: Vanquished.
My Level 61 team beat him with no deaths or character substitution. It did cost me three Chronos Tears, but I'll live with that. Oh, and I left Enkidu alive through his first phase in both battles in order to hear all of Gilgamesh's lines. Those fights were so awesome.
Ashe: Deathbringer, Gengi Shield, Maximillian (from a very kind chest in Lhusu), Leather Hat (not sure if a lower magic resist helps Reverse and Lure to hit more often or not, but I figured it couldn't hurt, since Gilgamesh and Enkidu are purely physical), and Gauntlets. I'd switch out the Gengi Shield for my Ensanguined Shield (from the Balfonheim chest) and grab a Main Gauche whenever Enkidu used Crushing Fangs, in order to get as high block as possible against that instant death attack.
Fran: Zodiac Spear, Crown of Laurels, Minerva Bustier (those last two from monsters on my way to picking up the spear), and the Gengi Gloves. Usually she uses a bow, but the Yoichi Bow does not compare to this spear, and I couldn't let those gloves go to waste.
Balthier: Fomalhaut and Wyrmfire Shot (very useful against Oiled Enkidu), Giant Helm, Diamond Armor, and Jade Collar (didn't think it was worth giving him the Bubble Belt).
Incredibly fun battle. The second phase was a pain, but, once the main phase was over and Enkidu was taken out, fairly straightforward, as Gilgamesh's Lv attacks just bought me time, and his other attacks, including Monarch Sword, failed against three characters Gambited to ensure Reverse/Decoy stayed on Ashe. Easily one of my favorite battles in the game, although it did have me very frustrated with the deaths caused by that annoying little dog. And now I have the full Genji set. Yay!
No more Elite Marks to hunt, so once I pick up the Yagyu Darkblade I'll be on my way to the regular hunts before moving on to the Feywood.
I'm at the orange Pharos Crystal with all my characters 52-53, I haven't played in a while after Ixion started refusing to meet me for a rematch in the Subterra.
At the end, my people are like 70-90 or so I think... I just couldn't beat Zodiark!!!
I've started a new game anyway, currently at Rogue Tomato XP
Progress: 1st gamesave - All marks vanquished, no Duranjo, Yagyu Darkblade, Sagitarrius Bow, Dragon Whisker, Holy Lance, Tournesol, second Masamune, or Wyrmhero Blade...and maybe a few others I can't think of ATM. Omega Mark XII and Zodiark also not vanquished.
2nd gamesave (different playthrough) - corrected problems w/not having the Tournesol, second Masamune and vanquished Omega and Zodiark...after 3 failed attempts. = 3
3rd *current playthrough* - going for a 'perfect file' now. Just obtained Penelo, levels: 45 and 46/47(?)
Perfecter Game 100% Complete. Everything that can be done has been done.
The only thing that I haven't been able to do is get another Zodiac Spear in Henne Mines: Special Charter Dig. That doesn't apply in a perfecter game though.
I just beat Dr.Cid in the Draklor Lab and now I'm gonna do the Great Cockatrice Escape sidequest. Here's are my characters' jobs and levels:
Vaan - Shikari Level 45
Balthier - Machinist Level 40
Basch - Uhlan Level 41
Ashe - Knight Level 41
Fran - Black Mage Level 41
Penelo - White Mage Level 40
This is the International Zodiac Job System version of FF XII that I'm playing btw. I'm about 42 hours into the game
What's a 'perfecter game'? I mean...your definition of one?Quote:
