A little disapointed to be honest. I know i have only played it for an hour and a half so far, but to be honest at the moment it doesnt feel like i have done anything apart from watched with a little bit of walking and really really easy fights in between.

For me, its not started off at all like any of the previous games, they seemed to throw you into the action straight off, you got to actually do some playing while the story got off to a rushing start, this game hasnt done that to me yet, and this is one of the most important parts of the game.

You have to say that a game really needs a good begining to get things up and running, FF10 starts pretty slow....then with the blitzball scene it gets really good and im starting to think im back in FF, them something strange happens and the game just slowed down again.

Its not all bad, im intrigued to find out whats happening next, and it does seem to be building to something big, its just that, well, i think the graphics may have gone to Squares head at the minute, so far i havent played, i have watched, i hope its starts to improve in that aspect soon.

Got to say though, the graphics and character animations are very nice indeed, but still, a little more play would be nice sometime soon.

I'm sure Anima is a 'she'.

You get it off Seymour's mum (the Aeon!) and it just looks very feminine.

i've completed the main story once now....without doing any of the extra stuff (which is why i'm starting again using the expert sphere board now)....and i just found that the main story is just too easy...didn't really have any problems whatsoever...

this second time through i'm gonna try and do EVERYTHING....i did manage to find quite a few secret places the first time through such as omega dungeon (it's good that this time people have a chance of finding these places relatively easily). Dark Aeons here i come :D

Right, I presume you mean the fight at lake Macalania.

This one annoyed me as well, I must have tried about 5 times before managing.

If you're people aren't strong enough, my advice would be to go back out and level up a bit. If you can manage to get somebody with a strong limit break, such as Tidus' slice and dice, you can manage to kill one of the lackeys in one go (ie, they can't heal themselves). Threaten also works well on these guys so they can't heal themselves.

Then, when Anima comes out, pound him with physical attacks and aeon overdrives (get them up before the battle), so that he goes away. Then, a good idea would be to cast spells such as nulShock, nulFrost, nulBlaze and nul(water one), so that his spells don't work.

Then, overdrives would be a good idea to give him a swift ending. A good idea would be to get everybody's overdrive gauges up before the battle and change the overdrive modes to stoic in order to gain quick overdrives.

But miss said.....

eerrrmmm...... I really havent got a clue as to what to claim. It is one of those on my list but theres just so many more that I want. Winning this GAD was great and I feel that I should get something that is probably the highest on my wanted list as I dont often see wins coming my way as much as *some* people.

*cough cough*

I will do some research into it and see what I can do. I might just borrow it off one of my mates and complete it, then give it them back.

:D

Now...... leave me alone and let me finish this damn essay.....

;D

Well you could always just claim it as your GAD prize. I've told you this already, then you'd appreciate this topic!

Now go and claim it.....go on....no, stop your school work and go and claim it NOW!!! ;D

Cheeky geet! :D

Ok, I've just got to fight Seymore for the first time and he whipped my butt! Loaded up again and went and levelled up my team before taking on the Gattling Gun Al Bhed weapon so all 3 of my Aeons had overdrive on them.

Then I fought and defeated the Gattling Gun, piece of cake. At this point you loose Yuna and cant level the Aeons back up....bummer!

Ok did a few more fights and then went and fought Seymore again, managed to get rid of those two blokes with on Aeon on overdrive but then Seymore called Anima.....ok I thought this is going to be difficult but I managed to kill Anima easily. Seymore then killed that Aeon and then proceeded to wipe all 3 of my gang with multi-waterera (or whatever it's called) :(

Just realise that I've over written the save point before the Gattling Gun so would have to go back ages.......basically any ideas or tips to defeat Seymore would be great??
