Got a FFXIII-2 wallscroll of Lightning and Serah

Picture please!

I've found that taking pictures and uploading them when I don't have a proper pc or camera is a pain in the backside! :D With the magic of horrible mobile phone camera here's a shot which my camera phone obviously doesn't do justice. I adored this pic when I first saw it and then Squenix said it was gonna be a wallscroll so it was a no brainer.

Ah yes, a great pic. I'm not a massive fan of Serah's default outfit in the game, but that is a well enough framed shot to override that.

I utterly adored FFXIII to the point that I platinum'd it, although this was somewhat of a mistake as I did the after plot grinding for about 20 hours in one go. I should have spaced it out so that it didn't somewhat ruin my experience of it.

What was the most grindy part, getting every item or fully levelling all characters secondary roles?

*jealous* You seen the cover for vol 6? I'm tempted to import it just because of that! :D[/quote]
What can I say... ^___^

The combination of Kyun! Vampire Girl and Makoto with the trailer when it went up may have been responsible for me making a purchasing decision I will one day regret :s

Wait... hang on... you have ordered not just a volume of iM@S, but the G4U! pack? I somehow feel like this shouldn't be allowed by the universe. :D

I just ordered the v1 pack, for now >_>; it should be delivered any day. Working on the assumption that Kyun! will make it to the main game on PS3 soon.

I can use the purchase to decide about v6 and those in between. It's like logic, but different.

It is indeed something more different... I will allow the Universe to not implode at this news now though, since you are starting from volume one. It is possibly even less sane, but at the same time more forgivable as it is closer to my own insanity.

Your assumptions re: DLC are only right as far as Namdai like money... and I think they still like that.
 
Love Hina the Complete Series (Plus Christmas & Spring Specials).

I noticed that there was something rattling in the box. Upon opening it, I see that the Christmas Special disc has become loose. There's a fair few small scratches - will have to check the disc in a bit.
 
Spice and Wolf S2 - BD/DVD combo box.

A little annoying that the packaging is different to that of the S1 BD, but I'll overlook that as I'm just happy to have it.
 
Don't think I mentioned the latest issue of Dengeki Bunko Magazine - came with a really nice freebie, they had five of their authors tasked with writing a short story beginning with the sentence "I saw Santa Claus", and put them all together into a LN. Also came with a Horizon desktop calendar, good times.
 
This is what I had in Mail today. I still can't believe that I managed to get Moribito Part 1 on BD :D

P.S. the discs are region free, despite the A region code symbol on the back.

I feel like it's one of the better songs inthe "IM@S-verse" (If you can call it that :D) but still, hope you enjoy the game!

(If anyone reading this doesn't care about FFXIII, skip to the bottom of my post and ignore this giant block of text entirely!)

Without a shadow of a doubt - items because the levels came from the ridiculous levels of grinding. And this is WITH extensive planning to ensure it wasn't another 20 hours - it's been a long time so lets see if I remember this... You needed to have owned one of every kind of weapon. The trouble came with the Trapezohedrons. It's a rare item with something stupid like a .3% drop from the hardest neutral in the game (The shaolong guis) and an even smaller drop from the weaker version of those. There are accessories you can get to improve the rare drop rate though - HIGHLY RECOMMEND to get those first.

One you get enough materials for a weapon to be able to get everyones weapon to it's ultimate form you need 6 Trapezohedrons in total, which cost 2,000,000 each from the shop or those rare drops. The interesting thing is that an ultimate weapon can be crafted into 3 Trapezohedrons saving you a fair bit of gil. Considering every character has just 1 tier 3 weapon you only need to finish one upgrade for each character. Although it takes 9 tier-2 upgrades to get all the different weapons for EVERY character. Fortunately farming the Adamantortoise also give you platinum ingots which you can sell for loads of money. I saved at the single one walking around at chapter 12 and just farmed him for 20 hours continuous. The 20 hours it took to get the Trapezohedrons that I needed also gave me enough money to be able to upgrade every accessory. Time consuming is too weak of a word. Still, I got a nice Serah theme out of it...! :D

(Sorry for the giant block of text! I feel rather geeky and sad after remembering, let alone doing, all of that. But you can easily see why those 20 hours of reloading that one enemy soured my experience...At least it gave me a reward! I won't even get into the upgrade bonus exp and how you can *somewhat* manipulate that with low priced items to get a 3x before upgrading to save so much gil...)

To keep this OT: I got my new pc parts today but i've yet to set it up...Because I forgot something kind of important. The OS! :D

Oh dear. :lol:

I figured it would be the items because of coming by CP as a result of that farming anyway, interesting to hear just how long it took you even with knowing how to easily get Traps once you have one!

PS. If I had been designing the game, you would have had to turn EVERY weapon into an Ultimate to get the achievement, not just one for each character. :p

(As for themes, whilst Serah is pretty tasty, I was happy enough with Lightning. Best thing about XIII-2? You get a cool Lightning theme unlocked just for having a XIII save on your machine. ^_^)

I love the hidden depth to the upgrade system (and the story, in the context of the Analects and such), but I love it much more as something to read and theorize about than to actually grind for that long. ^^;

Ooo! I loved the fact that FFXIII gave themes for certain trophies - I likely wouldn't have gone for the platinum if it didn't. Wouldn't have minded a dynamic theme though :p

I doubt i'll grind to anywhere near that level with FFXIII-2, unless it gives me another theme. Then i'm in again! D:

I remember the Trapezohedron farming. I managed to get 2 in under ten minutes :wink:

Rrrrggggh!!! In the time it took me to find my first 2 I almost had enough money to buy one but it would have meant that I couldn't buy all of the materials that i'd meticulously planned for my accessory upgrading. I had to keep waiting for that drop...

On Topic: Windows 7. Yet I can't set my new pc up for a week thanks to certain circumstances, (leaving my graphics card and power supply in my dead pc which I carted over to my parents house and left there) which is excrutiatingly annoying...
And some materials which I need for a Business presentation.
