    Yeah, that's what I've been doing and it's not at all hard to do once you know how.

    I love the trance music playing in Chapter 6.

    Also the forest is real pretty and full of colors, which is perfect since Vanille is the lead again. <3

    I really hope that was not just a mistranslation, but I totally lol'd when he said that. I just got to Pulse. I'm preparing myself to get mauled like Demon's Souls.

    Fuck I hate Hope.

    I really do. I am going to grind CP just so I can get rid of him now, I need a medic that can take at least *one* hit without falling over.

    Yeah, hope has brittle bone disease or something. I always find a tough boss and go 'boy, buffs would be nice in this fight' and switch him in because I have short term memory or something, and 2 seconds in the fight I realize I just told the game 'I want to fight this boss with only two people' because Hope wants to spend the entire fight finding new ways to lick the floorboards.

    Really, all I want from buffs is shell, protect, bravery and faith. After that anything else is just gravy and you're rarely going to get all of them up consistently anyway. I could give him a HP increasing item and a damage reduction item, or I could take another character and give them two items that make them substantially better.

    Haste is by the far the best buff in the game and pretty much the reason I didn't use Hope at all till he got it.

    Sazh was man of the year just for the fact that he had haste alone.
    his other stats are very very average as far as being a ravager or a commando go but his high health means he's a bit more durable if you're sure your other two can pick up his slack in terms of output

    The problem with Sazh is that he pairs best with Snow and Vanille and this is unacceptable because she makes creepy noises through fights.

    Only during the fights? I think she makes creepy noises every time she opens her mouth.



    (That is a refrence to her stupid ever-changing accent.)

    Now let's not go saying something we can't take back.

    No one in this game is even close to the atrocity that was the VA in Cross Edge.

    Vanille's voice acting isn't spectacular, and the actress' inability to decide what accent the character has is kinda dumb, but I wouldn't say the voice bothers me other than that.

    Didn't we decide this might be intentional?

    I think Vanille's accent slip up is intentional too.

    Also the OP is great.

    It can seriously help though. He's a real bastard.

    Actually he's the only boss in the game I had trouble with. I stomped all the others. Once I got my posse together, there was no stopping me.

    Edit: Even some high level marks have been less bullshit.

    I'm really looking forward to hitting the point where I have the whole group again. This time, I plan on putting real effort into getting everyone geared up with a maxed out weapon and a good set of synth abilities to make for some serious ass kicking.

    You know what the best part about complaining about the "Terrible Pop Song" is?

    It fits pretty much spot on thematically with the moment it is used.

    I didn't like it nor did I hate it, but I did think it worked.
    I think the best part is that most of the people complaining have never even heard the song or seen it used in the game.

    They just hear female vocals in one of the background tracks and jump straight to "FUCK YOU LEONA LEWIS YOU RUINED THIS GAME"

    Yeah, I was pretty confused when people were bitching about "that shitty pop song in the forest", only to get there and have it be the exact same track that was in the Japanese version.

    I assume (having not gotten there yet) that the Leona Lewis song just plays during the ending?

    Any musical sin in this game is fixed by this track:

    Will to Fight

    Now that's a decent song with some nice vocals. Chapter six music can die in a fire.

    Yes, he is a bastard, very true. He definitely gave me more trouble than most. It took me a bit to figure out the strategy, but after that, it was just executing it quickly.

    I'm wondering about this too, I've found Fluffy Wool, Scraggly Wool and some 3rd one, also got a text saying that the weather affects what kind of wool you get from them, you can get more than one of each too.
