A Little Help Here Please (Possible Spoilers)

Are you talking about the Adamanchelid in Ch.12?


Another question for Che...whats up with quick-stagger weapons?

Yep, that's the one.. What a monster! I guess it's more dinosaur then turtle though.. But that quake effect it has nearly got me..

I would do a lot of work on CP here trust me, but you can't be 'weak' in this game.
My characters had considerabley low HP when I was there too but I still finished, I believe i had around 1500 for each.
Just basically start with:
Med, Sab, Syn
Then when ALL possible status effects are used:
Com,Rav,Rav
When HP is below half:
Med,Sen,Med
Then when hp is close to or full go back to:
Com,Rav,Rav
Do this with every monster and you should be able to gain CP or just keep going.

I think it's my biggest complaint about this FF.. I simply don't recall one that required as much 'grinding' as this one does.. I think they made the cost of each subsequent crystal purchase too high.. I mean, for Pete's sake, 10,000 CP just to move over to the next one! Arrrgg, way too much work..

Right now, I'd love to move on with the storyline as I've been grinding away for hours in Siren Park just to fill out all 3 of my tiers for the main party.. I'm almost done, have all weapons upgraded to their 'star' status.. Have matched up accessories to go with the weapons (it's nice to finally have Lightning's gauges filling up faster) and maxed them out too..

But I'm bored, bored, bored with having to do this every time a new chapter opens.. It's sort of like reading a book that is intensely good but at the end of each chapter your forced to put down the book and go do the dishes or something.. A bad analogy, I know.. But you get what I mean.. I just would have preferred a little more story and a little less grunt work..
