Final Fantasy XIII

Im sorry, but this ff is incredibly dissapointing. I have only really played 10, X2, and 12, but i have loved them all and have developed a great appreciation for JRPGs. WTF is this that im playing now. I am 13 hours in and i dont know/dont care about the story or characters, The combat is cool, but im bored with 2 characters at a time, and there has been nothing but long corridors fullof monsters that pose no challenge. When does this game get fun. I keep hearing at chapt 11, but why, play a game for 20 hours waiting for the good part?

If you liked X-2 than there is no hope for you what so ever.

It'll pick back up. It'd help what chapter you're on also. And don't you dare talk about shitty ff....especially since you like 12...

i mean...where have you been?
First 3...no comparison....
FF4 - the one i have YET to play
FF5 - awesome...comsumed most of my younger days trying to master every job
FF6 - like teh BEST ff all around
FF7 - Great game...until you figured out the materia system, then you game will proceed to collect dust.
FF8 - Awesome story, horrible battle system, just draw 99 ultimas and then it will also proceed to collect dust.
FF9 - took you back to your roots, loved the game...could've done better job on the story
FF10 - If i wanted to pay $60 for a movie, then i'll rent a blu-ray Disc, otherwise, interesting battle system, until you broke spheres and have Lulu the Best mage in teh game.....and Wakka would become useless. And Khimari wouldn't be labeled the black character (yes....he was black...look at the obvious things about him.)
X-2 - really.....? i'd rather rent Charlie's Angles
FF12 - I don't know what happened..but i think SquareEnix skipped this one in their series, i don't think they released a FF12....
 
I get 6,600 CP in 58 seconds.

There's better spots in Pulse.

Go to Mah'habara and run through the tunnel until the fork. Go left and run down that tunnel until you get to the garage and then run back. Don't get too close, otherwise you'll face a difficult boss with 1.8 million HP. You can beat him after building up a bit, though.

Anyway, that little tunnel will get you around 20,000 CP in about 2 minutes. Especially if you use relentless assault and surprise the enemy, which is pretty easy on the return run. What you're looking for are Hoplites and a Bomb like enemy. The Hoplites are weak against Thunder, while the bomb-like enemies are weak against fire. Both are extremely fragile and offer up (per battle group) around 3,000 to 4,900. You can kill them in about 30 seconds, less if you surprise them.

If you don't wanna tackle Mah'habara yet, you can stick around the Steppes and/or Vallis Media and fight the small bird like enemies (a Gremlin subtype). They can't see behind themselves or directly in front. They can only see from the side. There's a number of them still around worshipping treasure chests and are easy to surprise. Killing them yields 4,000 exp and there's a lot of them on the Southwestern shelf of the Steppes.

In Vallis Media there's a few groups of the same gremlin types (Adroa), but also some stronger enemies. If you can dodge them and take the left branch into an area called Yassif Massif(sic) you can venture down another left path and eventually reach a small ruin deep inside the area. There, you can fight Cie'th like enemies that are weak to every element, though durable, you can net around 3,000 CP per fight and are easy to re-spawn thanks to a nearby save point.

Try to tackle some missions before you go down there, though. There's a nearby Cie'th stone before the ruins that can teleport you from the ruins entrance back to the Steppes, so once you get tired of the ruins, you can go back to Steppes and try tackling some other enemies or take on some other missions. I recommend that you at least try and do all the missions possible on the Steppes. Which means going as far as getting chocobo access. With the ability to ride chocobos, you can get nearly all the treasures in the Steppes save for those guarded by the Adamants. You'll also get a chance to take on the Ochu (WAY too hard), unlock the sheep and get the Cactars to come out. Plus you'll be able to do treasure hunts with the chocobos and get some rare and useful items for selling or upgrading.
