DLC

[Skyblade]

What level would you recommend before I attempt to take on Lightning and Amodar in the Colliseum? Total combined role levels, or point in the storyline, either would work.

[Carl the Llama]

Well I can't really help you out there, I was already maxed out on the Crystarium before the DLC became available to me, so I just wipped the floor with them, I had to do the fight 5 times before I even saw Lights crystal even with the Monster Collector Fragment skill active (which you can get by gathering all the fragments in Vile Peaks (which is quite difficult if your not that strong)) I would say you need about 3-3.5k health each on Noel and Serah with about 300 in mag and str on them to go into the fight with the boss... cant really say more its a spoiler, but the strongest monster crystal in the game can be obtained from there, its worth doing just for that, I would recommend going around about chapter 6 (final chapter) to do these optional side quests.

Of course you could always go and try fighting her now, bear in mind once either Light or Amodar get taken down the other gets a huge buff at which point they will do their limit... for Light its Army of One, it dealt me, completely maxed out 200+ damage per hit, think there were about 8 hits so... 1600, which may not seem like much but when your fully buffed and completely maxed out, the last thing you expect is for 1/4 of your health bar to disappear.

Oh and if your wondering what Max stats are:

Serah:
HP: 7057
STR: 518
MAG: 626

Noel:
HP: 8988
STR: 667
MAG: 555

This is of course subject to change depending on what class you used to use on the big nodes (as they offer different bonus stats per class), I really wasn't that fussed I just maxed everything out first by abilities (got all the abilities for all the classes) then went on to max out every class from top to bottom.

I dont like the idea of having Lightning as a party member in this game since the whole premise is that Lightning is not with you and you are supposed to be looking for her. >.>

Nice try Square. Trying to make up for not just making the game about her in the first place? I love how she's on the box art even though she's spoileronly in the game for a combined total of like 30 minutes.

According to the Arbiter, it is not actually Lightning, rather a shadow of her. Not truly her, merely a reflection of her power.

Although both her and Amodar talk as though they are real entities. Hmm...

Well, Chapter 2 is too early to do it, it seems. With three maxed layers of the Crystarium, I was able to get Lightning down low enough to bring Amodar into the fight, and he royally creamed me. :P

Realistically you need to be near the end of chapter 3. Getting a bunker beast sent. and leveling it up can really help (it gets that ability where AoE attacks hurt the others less.

I beat them and got no crystals. I wonder what the 'capture' rate is for them?

I got Amodar on the first battle, Light on the 5th, so I think I just got lucky with Amodar as for Light its probably 10% which seems the average for the game.

I am guessing 5% (I got her on the 11th try so 1/22 is roughly .05). But can't you eventually get something that raises the capture rate?

Feral link attacks can increase the drop rate by up to 300% of normal, depending on how quickly you input the commands.

NEW DLC ANNOUNCED!

Late February content coming in: Serah's getting a new Swimsuit called "Resort Style" and Noel's getting a suit entitled "Jikuu no Shugosha" (maybe... "Protector of Time and Space"), a black colored suit that is given to time traveling warriors from Etro.

Sazh content confirmed for Feb 28, 2012.

Sazh's DLC is called "Omote ka Ura ka" (maybe... "Front or Back") and involves Sazh somehow ending up in Xanadu, where he decides to try out two new table games.

Those two games are also part of the DLC One is called Chrono Bind and is played on a table that has a clock face on its top.

Ah, the inner perverts within are allowed to reign the video game world once again. I'm not sure I'll get the costumes as I like the default ones (the pre-order ones were hideous), but I'll almost certainly get the Sahz content.

They should have put Hope on the box.

[Loony BoB]

They should have put Serah, Noel or Mog on the box.

[Carl the Llama]

They should put me on the box *cough* oh and BoB, they DID put Serah, Noel AND Mog on the box, open your case up and tell me I'm wrong
