It really wants you to grind up and down those narrow corridors. It's such a shit game.

It's not hard?

Because this garbage combat system is designed around chaining attacks to deal any meaningful damage to the enemies but the enemies are also OP and can wipe the floor with your party so you're left juggling between RAV/MED/SENTINEL paradigms like an ADHD retard while continuously hitting an auto-battle button. Seriously, fuck the faggot who came up with this shit.

He's most likely jumping into boss battles without grinding and I don't blame him. Such bland dungeons and environments - he probably just wants to get it over with.

Btw 13 is so fucking shit but 13-2 is bretty gud. Involves timelines and time travel.

Worst grinding I've ever experienced in a Square game.

>game designed to never let the player feel overpowered

Reddit opinion. Pokemon-lite is trash compared to the paradigm system, and XIII-2's story is low effort garbage.

a lot of pitious l'cie in this thread

no grinding needed it's all strategy baby

>paradigm system
If it wasn't so shit they wouldn't change it to 'Pokemon-lite'.

Reddit opinion. FFXIII is inferior in every way to XIII-2 including the story.

liked xiii although stopped before final boss
xiii-2 was way better, finished it
didn't like the time limit stuff on xiii-3 played a couple of levels and dropped it

i remember the poison dragon at the top of the tower, could feel the fatigue in my face and eyes from having to continually swap to sen/med shit while incrementally getting stagger up.
lets also make the final boss cast death on your party leader while you can only have a 60% chance of resisting it max

This is the new Zig Forums meme?

cant you just cast veil and it has a 0% chance of working

It sure knows how to waste your time.

Paradigm shift to win, this game basically plays itself

It'll get easier when you get a feel for it. Enemy weaknesses, buffs/debuffs, and paradigm setup/switching make a big difference.

veil only halved it iirc

Hard? Just fuckin grind behemoths on Gran Pulse and use a good team

get good. The paradigm system was great. Played it on hard the first time and haven't had as much fun with boss battles ever since.

>Played it on hard
Fake. FF13 doesn't have a hard difficulty.

Being better than XIII in story isn't really difficult

But that's wrong brainlet

I distinctly remember a hard difficulty on my copy.

I remember liking it so much i got a platinum trophy

my first and last ff

it was back when i still enjoyed playing vidia

;_;

>1000G Phoenix Downs

But it's the contrary, XIII-2 is a piece of garbage far bigger than XIII

And yet it's still somehow better than the games in the series that came before it.

Being hard isn't the issue, the issue is that the combat sucks and isn't fun.
