Loving it so far, really good and much improved from XIII, so hopefully some of you guys and girls have had a chance to give it a whirl and can have a chat about it. Usual kind of thing and secrets, tips etc!
Remember to warn people of spoilers!

Pretty much half price after 2 weeks, that's just crazy.
think his STR is like 220?
Well the max he can get ever is roughly 851 (you know...roughly).
But the large majority of that comes from the COM role :S
Basically that's if you only level COM role via large nodes. They give you +2 STR per node. 194 extra STR.
Saboteur also gives +2 extra STR, but only when levelling from odd to even, per node. So 98 extra STR.
By not min/max'ing you are only ever going to lose an extra 292 STR.
Serah is a bit more as rav gives a potential 194 extra MAG. Sab even to odd gives +98 MAG, and also SYN even to odd gives +98 MAG.
So 390 extra MAG.
It's not game breaking though.

Still enjoying it, more than FFXIII (but it has made me want to go play it again, too much else to play, but still)
Like it a lot and enjoying most aspects, Im sure that I am fairly strong for where I am in the game, but only just started changing so I use the larger nodes on my main role. So I am currently level 81 I think with Noel as COM, and his attack is still not doing massive damage, may have messed up a bit here!? think his STR is like 220? Not sure if this is good or not, so I will ask for help from our friendly neighbourhood Warhunt......... please!?
My paradigm set is :
Serah-Noel-COM(Chichu), RAV(Cloudburst), MED(Flanitor)
COM/COM/COM (N) --- RAV/COM/RAV (N)
RAV/RAV/RAV (Nl) --- SYN/SYN/MED (W)
SAB/SAB/RAV (W) --- SEN/SEN/MED (N)
My boss paradigm set is :
Serah-Noel-COM(Chichu), SEN(Silver Chocobo), MED(Flanitor)
COM/COM/COM (C) --- RAV/RAV/COM(C)
SYN/SYN/SEN (N) --- SAB/SAB/MED(C)
SEN/SEN/SEN (N) --- MED/MED/MED (N)
When you can viably do so you should always try to use the same role in all slots, as this increases the bonus of that role. I'm sure you know this, but meh... worth mentioing.
Here is a breakdown. Bear in mind these are all the figures after you have maxed the role out in the crystarium (default -> I -> II)
---------------------------
COM Role bonus
---------------------------
---------------------------
RAV Role bonus
---------------------------
---------------------------
MED Role bonus
---------------------------
---------------------------
SEN Role bonus
---------------------------
---------------------------
SYN Role bonus
---------------------------
---------------------------
SAB Role bonus
---------------------------
That said, my tactic is working well at the moment and going strong, so have to see.
Just got to the Casino, no really understanding the chocobo racing and the slots just stole all my money, so I will soon leave and not look back! Bah!
Two important things about him/her (it's a flan....) :
1) It's feral ability. Instant group heal, and pretty much full heal too.
2) If his bar isn't full and he has a spare move he will use 'cheer' to build his gauge up faster.
I think I was about 99 in two main roles (COM/SYN Noel, RAV/MED Serah, and high enough to get their ultimate moves from the crystarium upgrades.
There is a LOT of min/max potential in the crystarium though, so I was probably more powered than that level suggests generally.
Also make sure you pick up Chichu from Arch Steppe. You need Mog's upgraded ability to do this mind, but you get it in the story. You may have noticed a red patch of flowers just north of the camp, near the big rock. Throw Mog into it to search a few times. Easy to get.
Best COM in game easily, mine has 1350 STR, 6000HP and just eats mobs up...
What levels were you when completing Warhunt? Just so I know if im on track near the end lol.
