after completing the first disc i though it was quite short and easy since the boss battles besides the eidolons really gave me trouble odins a bitch anyway once you move on to disc 2 i though the monsters were slightly more improved than disc one but slightly the only real troble i got wass against some of the bosses such as retarded turtle creature
bartandulus is such a bastard remember to level before you fight this mostrousity of a boss when i fist fought him i jus got destroyed and i thought i would just keep on switching to the "combat clinic" paradigm which was annoying since was that boss uses "magic amplication" his magic just doubles in strength which is why you have to destroy his magic armour quick since he gets different spells for e.g he no longer has "thunder" it will change to "thundara" then change to "thundraga" when he fist did this even with combat clinic on he destroyed me so thats when you have to cp farm luckily just on the outside on that boss enemies will keep respawning constantly which will make getting cp really easy another annoying feature is when fighting the squads of soldiers make sure you kill those bazooka men before they get to attack they will kill you witin a couple of hits after you do the cp farming go back and fight bartandulus he will be easier tahn before since you have improved magic and hp
After you should soon be at disc 3 which pissed of alot of gamers since when sqaure enix announced that this game will have free roam you will not get to until you reach hran pulse which is a bitch i know alot of people that didnt like it just for this reason .
you will also get to fight the classic final fantasy summons such as alexander,bahamut and odin and a couple of new ones which made the game more interesting but the one that sazh has is a blaitent rip of of transformers its like million year old eidolon can trransform into a fuckin lamborghini which was knida cool but i never used sazh as i main mine was lightning,hope and fang which was a pretty much balanced team if you asked me attack wise and defensive wise
since i dont want to give to many spoiler in the game away now ill talk about some of the ending DON'T READ ON IF YOU DON'T WANT THE ENDING RUINED
ok since i don't want to go in depth in this game im jus going to talk about some of the ending ok as soo as you reach barthandulus in his final form he should be no troble if you are at a decent level and have some good items and weapons which i did since i went around trying to rider the jewish chocobos which was another huge dissapointment anyway he wasn't that hard to beat than you will have to fight orphan who was kind of a pain since he had 1 hit K.O attack he will use after every 2 minutesthis boss took me about 3 tries but he was nothing compared to safer sephiroth from final fantasy vii the ending to me was kinda a blur since to much shit was happening at the same time and i was baffled this happended when i think fang and vanielle turned into ragnarok and which i think created a new planet i think anyway this is the only time in the game where lightning actually smiles similar to cloud from final fantasy vii advent children they dedicated a whole song to him man anyway the game was good but it could have been game of the year with the hype about its launch since i didn't go to the official oxford street launch which annoyed me since i found out 2 days after about the launch anyways gd game recommeneded purchase for RPG lovers and Final Fantasy fans
