All I have remaining on the pure stat buff outliers, which I should have finished by the end of Chapter 11, I only have a few more left on each character.
As for Sazh, Vanille, and Snow, I'm just hording CP. Since I never use them I'm not spending it, and I intend to go crazy and make them out in 1 role at the end of the game. So Sazh will be a super synergist, Vanille will be a super medic, and Snow will be a super sentinel.
After you get out of the Steppes there is an awesome farming area in the "Maw of the Abyss" area. There's a hallway with a juggernaut at one end, and a box phalanx at the other. If you run back and forth killing everything in between (but not including those two things) you can rack up a ton of CP.

I got a guide and it said that it's something like 22,000 CP in five minutes or so back and forth, which is awesome because that's when everything gets retardedly expensive in the Crystarium.

Re: Final Fantasy Megathread
That area is amazingly epic. I'm going to try and max out the main roles on the crystarium before advancing.

Re: Final Fantasy Megathread
I wonder if there's ever anything that would compel me to get the platinum trophy in this game. The amount of grinding alone is a huge deterrent alone, even if you get the Growth Egg after the 55th Cieth stone mission.
I'd have to hope I can get used to listening to this a lot:

What is with YouTube embeds not working? D:

Re: Final Fantasy Megathread
I made it to Chapter 12: Eden Under Siege today. I'm going to attempt to max out the main roles again before advancing. I'm leaving for NY tomorrow morning though, so it will have to wait for after.
Any advice on what accessories are worth starring?

Re: Final Fantasy Megathread
Barthandelus is really chapping my ass this second time around. I really want to know what in the hell I did differently. This is supremely frustrating.

Re: Final Fantasy Megathread
Took care of that about an hour ago, only to get destroyed by Bongo Bongo in Master Quest.
Stupid double damage. I've had enough of bosses today. I'm off to bed.

Who is your main party?
I bought some Warrior wristbands and sorcerer's marks from the B&W Outfitters shop (I think I spelled all that stuff correctly).
I have two of the sorcerer's on Hope, and three Warrior's on Fang. Lightning has 1 sorcrer, 1 warrior, and 1 whistlewind scarf. She also wields the axis blade, which combined with the whistlewind scarf synthesizes an ATB recharge ability.

Re: Final Fantasy Megathread
I think my issue with Barthandelus was I didn't have a good party, oddly enough, since I don't think it's the members so much as that paradigms that matter. I think I'm sticking with Lightning, Vanille, and Snow.

Re: Final Fantasy Megathread
Here we go, Cid Raines, part 2.
I realize I keep posting a lot.
Don't care! Cid Raines is probably gonna take me a while. Took me a few tries the first time.

Re: Final Fantasy Megathread
Only took me two tries this time! As opposed to like the 10+ the first time I tried fighting him. Hooray! Three stars, I'll take it! It was a bit tough.

I've been using Lightning, Fang, and Vanille.
I've heard Spring Shoes is quite effective with the auto-haste feature?

I'm not sure, but I don't have any idea how you can put up with Vanille's constant constipation noises during battle. :\

I always found her to be more....useful than Hope as far as stats go. Don't quote me on that too much though, I'm starting to use him more now and he's a pretty awesome medic with the right stuff equipped.

Re: Final Fantasy Megathread
Vanille has more balanced stats, but Hope has the highest magic stat in the game, which makes him an awesome Medic/Ravager/Synergist.
Vanille also doesn't get the AoE -aga spells.

Well that was the mistake I was making the first time I was going through. I also learned to love the Delta Attack and Solidarity paradigms a lot more. Before it was more Relentless Assault or Diversity and then quick switches to Combat Clinic.
I read somewhere that Fang actually turns out to be a lot better at being a Commando than she does a Sentinel, which is interesting. She does well enough for me, but I know Snow is the best one. I think he can get so OP as a Sentinel to the point where he can only take like 1 damage for any move? Something ridiculous like that.
