    Man, Death refuses to connect for me :(

    I want to try this myself, but I don't have Death yet. I take it I'll have to progress to 12 and 13 to get access to it, then use the teleporter to go to back to Gran Pulse.

    I have to say that no other developer can surpass Square in the pure artistry, beauty, and visuals they put into their games.... except maybe Blizzard.

    I don't understand how critics could rag on this game so bad. I don't think it deserves anything less than a 9 out of 10.

    seriously. when I started playing it my reaction was "Is this the same game everyone was bitching about?"

    Only thing I wish was fixed was the floaty camera.

    I'm probably better off not messing with it and just let let it show me what it wants to show me.

    I'm still way behind everyone else. I just met Cid and immediately wished he was a party member.

    Finally got to the big open part of Chapter 11. I am overwhelmed with what to do now. Probably do missions then move onto the Chocobo Treasure Hunt? Max out my Crystarium and then go on to 12 and 13? Grind a certain monster in Chapter 12 for an item to sell, then go back to the Chapter 11 area with hopefully Vanille's Death ability so I can exploit that Adamantoise trick?

    I need a clear path otherwise I'll probably go insane in this place.

    Oooh, well shit.

    It was very heavily implied at the end of chapter 11 that you can't go back and I assumed that meant till the end of the game.

    I'm just gonna go do chapter 12 then because these missions are getting pretty flipping hard.

    I just started there myself, but apparently the Chocobo Treasure Hunt minigame is a great way to earn money. That's what I intend to do.

    You unlock it by completing mission 14. Here's a guide site with maps and information on a good number of those quests:

    http://twobrothersandasister.com/?p=6455

    That damn site has a guide for that minigame, too, with a map showing all the possible treasure locations. D:

    No, she's definitely a throwaway character. She appears in a whole 2-3 cutscenes and then is unceremoniously killed off. That's definitely fitting the concept of a throwaway character.
