What games are you currently playing?

That problem was a "broken" hold/power button. It wouldn't turn on, he deemed it useless, and went to THROW IT AWAY, so I offered him 6 bucks for it :tongue:
 
Currently playing Final Fantasy 13.... I actually beat the game already but I'm going to complete all the missions as well as max out all of my characters. After that I'll probably replay the game again...
 
I ordered some copies of Tomb Raider 1, 2, 3, and 4 for the Playstation (you know, the good ones). I can't wait to try those out again! <3

Playing Final Fantasy XIII, trying to make some bloody money here on Pulse to upgrade my weapons, I've managed to sell almost everything I'm not using, but then spent most of it upgrading two weapons... it's annoying.

Can't wait till I can kill Adamantoise' and get those ingots they drop... that'll be good money.

As long if you have Hyadus magnums, Blitz and Cold blood with sazh you can farm them,
look at my strategy, I always use it and the longest the fight took me was 2 minutes. (I fight the one in Leviathan plaza) This always works for me. And with the collector+ connoisseur catalog equipped I had 7 platinum ingots and 3 trapezehydrons in only an hour time!

if you don't have everything I listed go farm some perfumes (right in front edenhall, those sacrefices drop them like crazy).

Leader: Sazh (hyadus magnums, equip some Str+ accesories)
others: Lightning (ultima weapon, equip some str+ acc), Vanille(marlboro wand, equip some int+ acc)

Paradigm:
1) Syn, Com, Sab
2) Rav, Rav, Rav
3) Com, Com, Rav
no need for medics with this method

Phase 1: Summon (start with paradigm 1)
1) Summon brunhilde (this kills the legs INSTANTLY)
2) Caste bravery + Haste on Sazh
3) Switch to paradigm 2
4) use auto battle until you reach about 200% stagger rate
5) use cold blood
6) use cold blood until the summon leaves, DO NOT USE GESTHALT, ELS HE'LL STAND UP AND ALL WAS FOR NOTHING!
7) right before the summon leaves you switch over to paradigm 3 and use auto battle until all party members are back, then switch back to 1

Phase 2: Stagger and buff, debuff
1) buff Lightning with haste + Bravery, and vanille with Haste + faith
2) make sure adamtoise has deprotect on him
3) switch to paradigm 2 and wait until he's staggered (99% of the time its about 2-3 seconds after you switch)
4) use cold blood (this will bring the stagger rate to 999,9%
5) switch to paradigm 3

Phase 3: Kill it before his stagger runs out
1) use blitz 2x (fuck the last bar) over and over until he dies (takes about 5 blitzes)
2) afterwards kill some guards to refill TP and repeat!

I'm also playing FF13, learning the few remaining spheres in the crystarium and getting my ultimate weapons to level 100. :biggrin: after that i'm gonna do some hunts

Hmm, sounds like a good enough strategy, although to be honest, using Vanille + Death sounds easier, just summon her Eidolon, and spam Death, lol...

Got a question, since you've finished it, and I'm only on Chapter 11 (Been grinding as soon as I got onto Pulse, lol, 8 hours... yay), what role would Sazh be best at? Since I have no idea and he seems so mediocre...

At the moment, my party is Hope/Lightning/Snow, because at the moment, Snow is the best Commando and Sentinal due to me levelling up his weapon, I'll switch to Fang though when I get the Taming Pole and upgrade it some, but at the moment, Snow is the best of the best of the best, he can hit 6k normally, while Hope/Lightning hit 2-3k lol...

It's great because if I get a pre-emptive strike on the Behemoth Kings, I can kill 'em in, on average, 22 seconds, which is great since it gives 4k CP.

Lightning was always my most powerful fighter. Fang was my second best and I used hope for ravager and medic. That was my party ever since we could choose our own parties. I think Sazh is good for both commando and Ravager. It's hard to say which is better. Once plus side about Sazh I noticed is that he runs through his crystrium thing faster than every else.
 
Vanille death MAY be easier, but its total unreliable. It only has 0.35% success rate, which is REALLY low. I tried it, but it took me way to long to kill it then. (while using Sazh only takes me 1minutes an a couple of seconds now)

Sazh is best as a Synergist, but Sazh shines when farming adamantoises, I only use him then(see my strategy)

Best way to level is the behemoth king fighting the big white wolf thing right before mah'habara. they gives 6600cp , and the fight can easily be ended in 10-20 seconds (but no drops :()

my party was Fang (Taming pole--> venus gospel), Hope(hawkeye --> eagletalon) and lightning (lion heart --> ultima weapon). if I needed a sen i used Snow.

Got a question by the way, you know Collectors Catalogue, will the effect of it still work if it's equipped by anyone other than the leader? Because at the moment, I'm playing as Hope, with only 2 accessory slots which I've filled with +MAG items, and Lightning, having 3 slots, is using 2 +MAG items, and the Collectors Catalogue, will I still have a higher chance of getting items? Or do I need to have it equipped to the leader?

Still spamming Fall Out 3.... I've been sneaking in a little 40th day with my little brother every now and then. But for the most part I'm still spamming Fall Out 3.
