Apparently you do if you want to get the rare items from both companies in a single playthrough.Originally Posted by TheKolkster
As ForestOwl suggested, the New Game+ allows you to find things you missed in the last playthrough, so it's not the end of the world if you miss some things.
Too bad New Game+ isn't an option with more games. The only other one I played that has it is Chrono Cross.
Yeah, I know. I'm trying to get a 100% in a single playthrough. Last time I only got 60% or so and didnt know what I missed the second time, so I just started over. How much do you need to do the attractions?
Chrono Cross... I should play that. I bought it along time ago and haven't played it much :P

To earn 1 Publicity Rating point you need to spend
20 credits in Chapter 1
50 credits in Chapter 2
100 credits in Chapter 3
200 credits in Chapter 5
As you can see, it pays to start early.
Thanks for the info. I'll start using credits before I finish the chapter.
I seem to have a problem. I've collected 262 points for Open Air, but I'm only at Publicity 2 instead of 4I'm at the end of chapter 1. All I need to do is visit Zanarkand and then go get to Kilika for the sphere hunt and I'm done.
the publicity lvl cannot increase further than your chapter, regardless of how many points you've got. the fact that you've got lvl 2 in chapter 1 amazes me
It likes me
I take it I'm in good shape to end the chapter. I'll probably end up with 300 points when I've completed the chapter cause I still need to go to Kilika.
I didn't think you could get more than 270 publicity points in Chapter 1, without resorting to spending credits.
I decided to switch promotional campaigns at the end of Chapter 2. You can amass 210 publicity points in this chapter for a total of 480 points, so I needed to buy at least 320 points in Chapter 1 to get a total of 800 points. I spent 64,000 Gil to buy the 6,400 credits, which I lost at Sky slots, 25 credits at a time.
1st thing: When you start a New Game Plus your PR score goes back to Zero (So does the "bride" score and you also lose all spherebreak coins you got). I know that for a fact.
Easy way to complete Bride & PR missions
The bride one is a cinch! The PR is a bit more trouble, as you need tons of gil
Buying your way into level 5 PR
You will probably not have a lot of gil in your first game but if you do you can do it on your first try. You can buy your way into level 5 even if you are still level 1 by chapter 5: With half a million gil you can go from 0 PR points to 400 PR points by loosing 80,000 credits on any of the games, provided you play them at the company you picked to advertise. Sky slots goes faster to loose: Up arrow 5 times to bet, X 3 times to play (and loose). Loosing 80,000 credis on level 5 would bring you to level 4 with 400 points. You need 460 PR points to get to level 5, and you can get 60 points by advertising, can't you ?
It is much easier to buy PR points on a second pass at the game as you inherit tons of gil from your first gameplay. You can start buying your points in level one: every 20 credits you loose in the games give you one point in PR. So if you want 100 points you only need to loose 2,000 credits. It is useless to try to buy a level higher than your chapter +1 (level 2 is the max you can achieve on chapter 1) but you can keep on buying points and they will still count when you reach the other chapters.
- Chapter 1: you need to loose 20 credits to get a PR point. But Sky slots only lets you bet 5 credits per turn so it goes slooooooow
- Chapter 2: you need to loose 50 credits to get a PR point. But now Sky slots lets you bet 25 credits per turn so it goes faster
- Chapter 3: Now 1 PR point costs 100 credits, i.e. you have to loose 10,000 credits to get a measly 100 PR points. And that costs 100,000 gil! So if you left all your PR buying to chapter 3 you have to spend 300,000 gill to get from zero to level 3 PR (300 points "bought" and some PR points earned advertising). The good news is that you probably high enough on your levels that can bet 50 per turn at this time.
- Chapter 4: You can't play sky slots or do PR
- Chapter 5: Now 1 PR point costs 200 credits, i.e. you have to loose 20,000 credits to get a measly 100 PR points. Which cost 200,000 gil!!! Sky slots lets you bet 125 credits per turn (I think)
The best strategy if your PR points are still low by chapter 5 (or if you changed companies mid stream) is to do some pretty good advertising AND spend some serious cash to get the 460 points you need to get PR level 5 and complete the mission.
Bride quest - Men marrying men ?
Did you know you can offer the bride to men too ? They will always answer with "strange, he doesn't seem interested" which gives you 2 points, a lot more than if you get a lady offended by your proposal.. Just do the Bride question to everyone you do the PR and you get over 50 points in no time!
Me and my kids have dragon eggs:
So are you saying you got 800 points in chapter 1?
No, I bought 320 points in Chapter 1, which added to the 270 I had, giving me 590 points. When I (hopefully) get 210 points in Chapter 2, I'll have the 800 points and I can switch before Chapter 3.
Of course, you really only need to buy 195 points since you can get a maximum of 1005 points by talking to people. But I'm impatient and want to switch ASAP.
This makes my head hurt. LOL. Oh well. I'm not switching. It seems like too much work.
Yeah, so what, I'm a chick that plays Final Fantasy. Not my fault my dad got me hooked when I was little. Started with Final Fantasy Tactics, and now I'm on Final Fantasy X-2... And I'm only 14!
