Final Fantasy XIII-2

So how many of you have gotten some of the moogle throw & unique monster crystals? I've got the Silver Chocobo, Golden Chocobo, Cactuarina, Cactuarama, Gigantuar, Nanochu, & Rangda.

I'm still missing Chichu, Leyak, & Twilight Odin.

Moogle Throw Monsters:
Cactuarama
Cactuarina
Chichu
Leyak
Nanochu
Rangda
Silver Chocobo

Have to fight it but its still limited in numbers:
Gigantuar x3
Twilight Odin x1

You find the Golden Chocobo in an item sphere in one of the later stages:

Finally had the chance to play the game and I gotta say, im pretty much lost about what the fuck is goin on in this game.

Did you play the first game? If not, there is a feature that allows you to learn the story of XIII.

Or is the story of XIII-2 that has you confused? The basic gist is that the ending of XIII was a deus ex machina by a goddess named Etro, specifically the l'cie being freed from their crystal stasis, but in doing so she fucked up the timeline and caused all these paradoxes (things from other times that shouldn't be there) to show up in different time periods. Now you have go around fixing all these paradoxes to restore the timeline to as much as what it is supposed to be as possible.

I've got the guide if anyone is looking for something specific in-game.

Thanks for the explanation, I did play the 1st one but I forgot all about it . The only thing i like about this game right now is the live action choices thingy, some of them are really hilarious.

Am I the only one who enjoys holding L1 and hearing Mog's cries? That always brings a smile to my face.

138 fragments and i'm lost.... don't know how to get the rest. Game is a HUGE improvement over the original.... a simple fact that i have a giant cactuar in my party covering the whole screen makes 13-2 a much better game than 13 lol

Oh so you have the Gigantuar too? I also have Cactuarina and Cactuarama.

Man, I really enjoyed the shit out of this game,

Spoiler:

but what a fucking terrible ending.

All i want to know is, have they fixed that annoying shit during combat where when you switch stance you have to see each and everyone in your party make his/hers stance-pose (instead them doing it all at the same time) before you can start fighting again? That was my biggest gripe with the battle system as the enemies always got free hits on me during those mini cut-scenes, or whatever you wanna call it.

Yeah, they got rid of that effect, but there's still a small delay between when you switch and when you can control your character again. It doesn't happen to party members though.

Not that you really need to Paradigm Shift much in this game.

? What's left for the player to do during battle if paradigm shifting isn't that important anymore xD

What did everybody else think of all the endings?

Bad endings are bad. -Yea, they're just bad.

I did really enjoy "The Future is Hope" and "The Great Flan Plan", but the rest were just terrible.

I thought the story and characters in the first one was fuckin horrible, how well do they fare in the second?

Fucking horrible. Though the dialogue is a lot better, which makes the characters and story better too.

Story tries too hard to be dramatic.

Buy it for the gameplay, not the story.

I still can't get my hands on Muramasa and Omega w/ costumes. Fucking codes were useless.....

How are the characters? Is there "Boy-Scout" Characters like SNOW? Did Snow man up and realize he can't save everybody?

Any good character development???
