(Chapters 3 & 4 thread) Paradigms? Crystariums?! What the hell is all this.

The inside.

I see. But does that mean (SPOILER)falling through the Hanging Edge into the lowland lake Bresha means I'm on Pulse now? Or is that just the lowlands of Cocoon? Everything else I'm getting except this Cocoon/Pulse deal.

(SPOILER)From what the game says I can see why you thought you went to Pulse, I did too. But nope, still inside Cocoon.

oh nevermind I think I answered my own question when I actually tried it out. Seems every item just gets transformed into EXP, but I read something about some items giving you a negative bonus. I haven't run into it yet, but hopefully there's some sort of warning before it happens.

I dunno if there will be, there certainly isn't when you get a positive thingy. One of our items is now up to 3x experience when we upgrade!

The paradigm system seems like a dumbed-down gambit system to me. But at least it does keep at least the more difficult battles somewhat engaging.

Yeah but gambit was pretty much quasi-programming and I honestly cba with it. This way you just change your paradigm and they act appropriately. It's like gambits, but without the boredom.

I can't stand the whiny Hope. Hopefully he'll man up in the future.

Hahaha whiny? Did you pay attention to what happened to him? The kid's had like, the worst day ever. And he's fourteen. Most people would be doing a lot worse than he is.

I also love that Frocobo pops out and no one even blinks. I am so into random cuteness.

I also love how nobody bats an eyelid, it is hilarious. Also the datalog entry on Frocobo is lulz.
