Ff13 what should i upgrade first

You can't really grind except around save points, where you can save then keep re-loading and saving again to re-spawn enemies. But be careful, you can just as easily lose those bonuses! But if you don't do much or any upgrading, you'll be fine. Only thing I'd add so far is, as you meet new foes and bosses, Libra them or use Librascopes and then check their stats if using a gamepad, should be RB by default.

Also when shopping don't bother buying much early on-you will get plenty of potions from battles but once you get to about Chapter 7 make sure you've got at least Phoenix Down. Plus gil is hard to come by. Oh, and the obvious-if Lightning is in the party, keep her alive at all costs.

If she's killed, even if she isn't the leader, it's over. Disgruntled hater who doesn't know what he's talking about. Talk about misinformation piled upon misinformation. Originally posted by Chad "The King" Thundercock :.

It seems to me that I don't have access to any dungeons besides those chapters on disc 3 after the game is over. The last portal is only a short cut to the final boss. Posted on 25 March 10 at Posted on 31 March 10 at You guys are mostly on the right track with the whole upgrading thing.

Sturdy Bones IS one of the most cost effective items along with Vibrant Ooze and Barbed Tails - all cost 80 gil and you need 36 of them to get to x3.

Also, dismantling items does come more into effect later in the game and there are two examples that I'll tell you about now without offering any spoilers. Do not sell any Doctor's Codes you get.

Once you're at the point where potions are useless, upgrade them all the way and dismantle them. You'll like what you get. Once you do this, dismantle it and it'll spit out 3 Trapezohedrons as well as 36 moonblossom seeds about k gil. All enemies drop items - and they are important for upgrading your equipment, and the beastiary list them, so if it's impossible to return it will be much more boring grinding out the same enemies over and over. One thing that annoys me is that the game tells you to evade some enemies since you aren't strong enough.

Now I never get to fight them at all? Why was they even there? But I'll keep looking If you dismantle it before this point, you'll miss out on the most valuable results. Caroline O 42, Posted on 05 April 10 at There's a great guide over at gamefaqs. Therefore the only stat he needs is magic. Enter the Hawkeye, a humble weapon with no fancy skills or effects. But with the highest magic boost in the entire game. You may find the Hawkeye in a treasure guarded by Vespids in the Gapra Whitewood during Chapter 5, or buy it from Up in Arms starting the same chapter.

And then into the Nue with, you guessed it, a Trapezohedron later on. He can also do a decent job as a Commando with the Power Circle weapon or even as a Ravager with the Feymark! That said, he is without a doubt the best Sentinel in the game, since he has the highest HP and can learn basically every skill from the Sentinel tree in the Crystarium. This gublade-wielding pink-haired ex-soldier is the one who carries the story forward. Lightning does a great job as a Commando at the start of the game but can develop into a Ravager, a Medic, or even a Sentinel as the game progresses.

The Lionheart is one of the few turds of her arsenal that Square attempted to polish - whilst its stats are paltry, it does have Quick Stagger , which is great if you have any other team member using a weapon with Stagger Lock likely Fang, Sazh or Snow. Quick Stagger is a great ability to have if you use Lightning primarily as a Ravager, which - during storyline gameplay, anyway - you probably are, particularly if you combine this with speed enhancing accessories.

And if you're hellbent on using Lightning post-storyline gameplay I can't even muster up anything else to say about it, like, I don't know why you would want to go for this when there are so many more efficient Commandos for this kind of situation but whatever, don't say I don't cater to your whims, amigos. During storyline gameplay, the Vidofnir looks pretty snazzy. But come on - it takes about 10 seconds to switch back to Synergist and reset those buffs, so don't let that sway you.

The Hawkeye has the strongest Magic boost, and has a better longevity than the Vidofnir, because let's be real, you'll be dealing with battles quick enough to not have to bother with trying to get buffs to last longer.

Fang is primarily a brawler, so you want a weapon that boosts her Strength stat. The Taming Pole is the second strongest of Fang's weapons, but the deficit of 41 can easily be made up with Accessories. The only spear stronger than it is the Dragoon Lance, but that totally negates Fang's magic stat, ergo, Taming Pole is the best choice for Fang during both storyline and post-storyline gameplay.

The only downside is it comes with Stagger Lock , but that flaw is largely ineffectual; Stagger Lock may as well be non-existant when you have other party members without it. Besides, it isn't the Commando's job to be trying to Stagger, so don't let that put you off. I mentioned above that the Taming Pole was technically Fang's second strongest weapon - this is the first.

But whilst the Dragoon Lance does carry a higher Strength stat boost, it also has Fettered Magic impairing it. Oh, and during storyline, you'll definitely need to be making use of her Saboteur skillset. So why have I even bothered putting this on the page, you ask? Because you might choose to create this weapon very late in post-storyline gameplay, i.

You might. The Taming Pole will still do you fine, but the Dragoon Lance is a popular choice for the game's eleventh hour. Improved Debuffing II is pretty much all you need with Vanille.
