SE need money, so they started targetting casuals and changed the games accordingly. More casuals, more money. Final Fantasy has become popular now amongst a larger demographic of gamers, it's no longer that game the cultists talked about in the corner of the classroom, it's become one of the popular kids and has began to dress accordingly.
XIII is less casual friendly than previous FF games due to the fact that you're actually timed during battles and the completion time affects drop rates.
Outside of that, the game is of the same difficulty level as previous main series FFs.
That's ridiculous Leon, it has absolutely no effect on the game whatsoever and only holds value for completionists looking to max weapons.

Please, don't say it's the same level of difficulty when the battles are long but easy, you see them coming and you are given a map at all times. Perhaps you should take a trip back to the tower of Babil for instance and try to navigate that without a map, a constant threat of random battles and mobs capable of defeating the entire party in a few blows.
Right, because upgrading your party's equipment has never been a big part of FF games; it's always just been there for completionists.

Long? Random encounters can be finished in 3 seconds flat, unlike previous FFs where random encounters became an absolute chore at endgame (due to time, not difficulty).
The longer battles in XIII are only long because they're difficult. A certain Cie'th enemy at endgame has just as much HP as other enemies at that point, but can be taken down in less than a minute because it's hardly a threat for the majority of the battle. The others, however, take time to kill because they pose an actual threat, so you can't just blow through their HP.
How is being able to (sometimes) avoid the battles any different from being able to choose to (sometimes) escape after it starts?
If you're saying you can clear a boss battle in 3 seconds, you either A. Have a Gameshark or Action Replay I never knew existed, or B. I am set of difficult gameplay and their idea of difficult was long, boring battles. If the battles were hard rather than just taking forever and a day I might have a different view on it, but I'm calling shenanigans on your 3 second comment.

That'd be why your fights take forever then. if you're not going to use the battle system as intended, it's going to draw the fights out.

Personally, none of the boss battles, after I started using the battle system properly took over 6 minutes. I think the final Bathandolus fight was an exception, but that's cause Final Boss is Final Boss.

There's also a bunch of other tricks you can use to make battles quicker. For example, if an enemy has no elemental weakness, Lightning casts faster than the other spells and doesn't have to travel across any distance, so it's better for breaking.

one thing about XIII, it required you to pay attention even on scrub fights, instead of just spamming a button for quick attacks (like older FF's) or things would go badly for you, or even wipe :/

And random battles Can be finished really really quickly. Blitz, -ga spells and especially Sahz's unique blitz can flatten enemies in seconds.

If you simply seek to kill all the people who can't agree with your opinion we'll be left with even fewer gamers than we have now. They should be taught, not ostracized.
Yeah, when you commit mass genocide people tend to not be happy.
Ask Germany.
:/
Sadly, Important for the public is Not who kills, but who gets killed.
There are many genocids in many countries, a lot of them are still not Even recognized.
When we killed an african tribe brutally German Public and government were against it and punished the military commander. When we were After jews population in east Europe was happy and started killing them before the army even arrived there.

I think it's funny that even France and Britain had pockets of anti-Semitics among their population post WWI, and nobody talks about that.

It should come from population or the government itselfe and not from other countries to develope a real sense for it. And which country can blame others? Nearly every has a corpse or more along its way through history.

Exactly! Hold on...I'm about to go into a tangent in a sec...

I find it funny that lately Germany and Merkel are basically being touted as the whipping boy for Europe's financial woes at the moment. Just reading articles from 'The Local' (DUE) and 'The Telegraph' (UK) and the commentary sometimes, there's a lot of anti-German sentiment lately, and maybe even a smidge of unfounded jealousy.

Last time I was in Germany in 2007, things were also rough as far as the economy and job-market were concerned. I find it appalling that people use Germany as the current scapegoat now just because their economy is pulling the weight of a few others, and are in the leadership position of Europe again.

As far as freeing up the EU citizenship to move freely around Europe they've damned themselves for having the opposite social and political stance that has plagued them over the years.

Germany! Damned if you do, damned if you don't!
I can understand them though. The situation is very complex and just looking at the obvious Things like Money transfer before/After the crisis started, political faces, Where the Helping Money actually goes to does make germany an Easy scapegoat. If they would have access to information about the deeper running problems in our own country the easy scapegoat image would shatter quickly.
I could explain it in detail but it would Take a a Lot of time on ipad with a slow connection to present all sources and find english ones.

-Constantly switching paradigms. If you time it right, you can change paradigms and get an instant ATB refill instead of having to wait for it to charge.
-Synergyst and Saboteur are AMAZING. Abuse the ***out of them.
-You only need a Commando hit every so often to keep the Chain Gauge from dropping to quickly.
-Once you've Broken an enemy, COM/COM/COM will produce the highest damage output and has many abilities that can keep an enemy from being able to do anything to your party long after it's Chain Guage has reset with proper timing.
-You can have multiples of the same paradigm set up so you can keep swapping COM/COM/COM constanly and unleash ridiculous damage.

1) Asuran Fists sucks.
2) What mob are you fighting.
3) Are you talking 1 Victory Smite out of many? >.> Random spike is random.

Either way, these are h2h you're talking about. White damage is gonna be even further ahead than WS damage in your spread and shouldn't be ignored.

been doing it all day long, and i consider the spikes too, kinda odd would spike every WS >.> don't u think so ?

Spike was 11 K WS >.>

but thanks also posted additional info on

"iipunch Monk" thread

such as Ascetic Fury doing 3,800 on Delve (checked for 4 runs and compared with other 3 monk we had)

however Ascetic Fury did Spike a lot and Fluctuate between good and bad dmg

but mostly was 2,8~3,8 K

Maybe a brooding main character with an upbeat love interest trying to save the world from certain destruction. Also they obviously need to be teenagers since that's the average age of a gamer.
