Yeah, Platinum is actually a reasonably easy trophy to get for FFXIII-2.  If you get every fragment, you've done all the nasty ones already,and a are probably well on your way to getting the rest.  The only stuff you may still need is 10,000 steps on a chocobo(getting the Clock Master fragment skill makes this easier), 100 pre-emptive strikes in a row(you can just initiate an easy to pre-empt  vortex battle, retry the battle immediately, and then initiate it again, over and over for this one), and the 10,000 coins won in Serendipity trophy. 

And between the lucky coin fragment and needing coins to buy the stuff for other fragments, you'll probably get the 10000 coins won trophy anyway.  The only other thing I'm working at is 1000 paradigm shifts - but since I just keep shifting as much as I can now, I should hopefully have that soon.  Honestly the 100% beastiary fragment is probably the most time consuming thing (well, possibly casino, depending on luck).

I don't care about trophies. The game is good but doesnt deserve all my dedication =(

Thought I'd finish last night, but ran out of time.  All I have left to do is see the secret ending though.  The clock master skill is a cool idea, but what's it puropose by the time you get it?  Other than helping with the chocobo riding trophy, if you hadn't gotten it by then, I just don't see the point.

Also, is anyone else pissed off that we've had 2 full games in this world, PLUS DLC colliseum battles (which are bullshit, but whatever)...and we NEVER got to fight Titan?!

I don't know that I'd take the info from that article as gospel - what I had heard about the Lightning DLC is it's more of her battle againt Caius, not post-ending material.

Well, it does cost more than the other ones, so I hope that means something.

Blarg.  Since when is Snow more powerful than Gilgamesh?  The dude's slaughtering me with his goddamn 99,999 damage to the whole party Sovereign Fist (65,000 damage if you're in full Tortoise mode, like that makes any difference).  I imagine I have to use Steelguard or something before he actually hits me to survive the attack.  I dunno, I guess I'll figure it out, or youtube it if I get fed up with repeated insta-game-over fists to my face.

I was NOT expecting him to be this tough.  Nor was I expecting you to apparently have to beat this ridiculously tough battle just to start Snow's DLC episode, which has me pretty steamed if that really is the case.  I tried finding something new to do besides fight Snow from the Coliseum list after that very awesome cutscene....but I got nothing.  I know Valfodr can be fought so there must be more to Snow's DLC than a snazzy cutscene and his Coliseum fight.  And if I have to get through that 10 million HP blockhead Snow to see it, well, that's just lame.  I can't imagine this to be the case, based on how powerful Snow's battle is.  I mean, once I beat him, how could anything in his DLC episode even be vaguely a challenge compared to him, besides max level Valfodr?

And one thing I'm curious about that maybe someone who bought Snow's DLC and not all the other Coliseum fights can help me out on.  Do all the DLC bosses still make an appearance in his opening scene, even if you haven't bought them?

I'm not sure. But as far as Snow is concerned, just let him kill whoever he currently attacking and then he'll cool down. Just revive.

ETA: The key to the Snow battle is keep him switching his focus on who he targets so that way his tension level never makes it past 200 percent. Therefore he'll never get the chance to use Sovereign Fist, which as players will attest ends the battle even if you managed to get into Tortoise formation.

Okay, despite having held out on getting FFXIII-2 so far, SE is now officially tempting me to buy this game:





Damn you Nomura! Knowing my weakness.... (yes, I am really that shallow) :p

^Yeah, it's a pretty hot outfit.  Downloaded it and the rest of the costumes I didn't have yet and haven't changed since!

I finally finished building my racing Chocobo after completing the Vile Peaks and Oerba areas for the Fragment Skills.  Took a bit to catch that Metal Gigantaur but I was still able to do it twice in one sitting.  Now I'm winning the races so easily I'm questioning whether all that effort was really worth it. Ah well, at least I can quickly earn all those fragments in Serendipity.  BTW are there special races with better prizes?  I tried using Shuffle (Graded) a few times, but nothing much of worth really came up.

I still have yet to download any of the Episode/Coliseum DLC, I'll probably save that for when I run out of things to do elsewhere in the game or at least until I can justify the spending.  Damn these DLCs are expensive...

Made some major progress over the last few days, I'm at about 135 fragments.  Having already finished Oerba, Vile Peaks, and other random locations, I also finished Serendipity, Yaschas Massif and Bresha Ruins and reaped the Fragment Abilities for my efforts.

I also figured out (looked up) the easy way to obtain the Lucky Coin Fragment.  I believe you have to win 7,777 coins in one sitting at the slot machine to get it. 

1) First, accumulate a stock of a few thousand coins. I started with 3,000 but had more success with 5,000.  I could have raced chocobos but chose to just purchase them because I was sick of racing after getting all the fragments and items I wanted from the prizes. 

2) Save your game before you use the machine.

3) Make sure you use the slot machine when the lady says it's on fire.  Start the machine on auto-play by holding L1. 

4) Put a rubber band on it.

5) Leave overnight!

6) Profit! ...Not really.  You'll lose all your coins if you don't watch it periodically, but you'll probably get the fragment.  I got it on the first try starting with 5,000 coins.

If at first you don't succeed, load your file and try again.

Yeah, I ended up just sitting and doing it - didn't really expect to get it, but it ended up taking me about 20 mins.  The machine was "on fire."

I do keep seeing you plugging away at the game, kirb!

Wow, 20 minutes?  Lucky!   I don't know how long it took to me to get the Lucky Coin Fragment, but it was definitely at least a few hours.

Today I'm finishing off the Archlyte Steppe and whatever else I have time for.  Ochu and Immortal (or whatever) were pushovers at this point, but I still had a hard time with Long Gui last time.  However I also wasn't at level 99 for most jobs the last time I attempted it either.  Hopefully he falls fairly quickly and I have time for Yomi and more.

Well I've been playing this for a week now and it's... about what I expected.  Mog's mostly annoying, story is as incoherent as the first, but gameplay is as fun as the first and I like Noel's backstory and their... attempt to explain the ending to XIII.

I'm currently at the start of chapter 5.  Even though I'm only 11 hours in I feel like things are winding down.  I've only used a guide (err... youtube) on one point: collecting the 5 graviton cores.  I have no doubt in my mind that if I tried to find 5 of those on my own I would have NEVER found the ones you need a chocobo for; not to mention that Mog wasn't even illuminating for me during the rooftop one.  I'm not doing any sidequests, no extra grinding, and I'm sure as hell not paying for any DLC.  Sure, I'd love to play with Sazh (I hear you want to stop leveling him at 16 for pure offensive SYN) but I'm not paying 25% of what the game cost me to get him. 

Overall I feel like the game was worth my 20 bucks but not a dime more.



Currently Playing: Dark Cloud 2: 3 hours.
Also Playing: CT, FF VI, Solatorobo, Secret of Mana, Halo 4.
Just Finished: Fable II: 7 hours.
