    Going by the guide (I finally got it!) it's unlocked to level 10. That's not role levels, though, that's crystarium levels. For the role levels, it is indeed five. Role levels have 'certain bonuses', from what I understand.

    They do? What are the role level bonuses? I have never seen a difference. I just thought they were annoying spots in the crystarium.

    This was also my understanding.

    I'll confirm exactly what they are when I get home, but it's generally stuff that involves multipliers of some kind for damage/defence/etc.

    So that's me just finished chapter 11. I did about 29 Marks I think and hopefully I can go back and finish the rest off later. (SPOILER)Barthandalus was much easier second time around, which was a little disappointing. Didn't even have to sit up.

    Also, is it possible to fight Bismarck? And if so can it be done in chapter 11?

    I think the intro movie to chapter 12 was pretty cool, I can't be sure though. Everything happened so fast I'm not entirely sure what was going on.

    An example of "Role Level" bonuses...

    Commando
    Role Level 1: Damage Boost (Self) is x2.0, Damage Boost (Allies) is x1.05
    Role Level 2: Damage Boost (Self) is x2.1, Damage Boost (Allies) is x1.05
    Role Level 3: Damage Boost (Self) is x2.2, Damage Boost (Allies) is x1.10
    Role Level 4: Damage Boost (Self) is x2.3, Damage Boost (Allies) is x1.10
    Role Level 5: Damage Boost (Self) is x2.5, Damage Boost (Allies) is x1.15

    Hope that makes things a little clearer. If anyone wants to know the others, I can make a thread... just let me know.

    I did not know that. Like others, I had just assumed they were annoying spots on the Crystarium that were the last ones I'd access.

    So I finished exploring the entire Central Expanse... it's not quite as big as it first seemed. Or maybe I'm just used to it. I found chocobos and cactuars, which was cool. The chocobos are awesome. I was at first irritated that I'd have to explore the entire damn Expanse again to find the buried treasure, but stopped when a rather cursory search while going to and back from my next mark netted me something like 90k with just 2 items.

    Cactuars are tough little buggers, but I think I'm going to CP farm them a bit. They don't take that much longer to beat than King Behemoths (and are much less irritating), are worth 5k CP (1k more than KBs), and a chance to get a 12k gil drop from them. Not too shabby.

    I'm on Chapter 11 now and I have been exploring Gran Pulse for what seems like hours. It's almost too big, but I'm not gonna complain. :} I've done missions 1-5 and number 8, don't quite know where 6 and 7 went. It takes ages to get from one point to another in this place though and I have no idea when I'm gonna go on to the next point in the story.

    Also, where are the Chocobos? I want one.

    You have to do a certain mission to unlock them. Well, to be exact you have to do one to unlock the area and another to unlock the ability to ride chocobos.

    I hate it when they do that. Especially when there are bombs and everyone decides to huddle together.

    Also: Finished chapter 12! End, here I come.

    Has anyone noticed that since Chapter 11 there are a lot of really low quality cutscenes??

    Like visual quality or content quality? I haven't come across anything I haven't liked yet.

    Animation quality wise. Theres usually like 3 different styles of cutscenes: FMV, In-game engine with mocap and then weird jagged movement reminiscent of FFX... The last one only really started happening on Chapter 11.
