anyone played JP version or know much about the full version? i skimmed somewhere that the game has a cap of 24hrs to beat or game over, which kinda seems like bs since i usually put 150hrs+ of work into 13/13-2 doin sidequests and stuff grinding etc, how can u relax and enjoy anything w/ a time limit? or is there ways to farm time indefinatly? basically i like to aim for 100% w/e i do something so the time cap has me kinda goin like wtf?

Wonder how much SE would make if they released those versions of FFXIII for like $5 a buy on Steam/XBL/PSN. I mean, between people who loved those games who would buy it for a Final Fantasy game like the old days, people who missed out on the first/second game who have interest in it, and then the Final Fantasy freaks(like me) who gotta play em all and would do it for the experience/different viewpoint on the game.

I think what they are going for is that rather than do everything in a single giant play through you do multiple smaller play throughs to find everything... Although I'm sure in a couple weeks there will be a 100% speed run floating around. I have mixed feelings about it but I kinda like the idea of being pushed. One thing that kinda made it hard for me to take 7 seriously is at one point they tell you meteor will hit in 2 weeks or something... Then a week worth of events happen. Then you end up all "Lets go breed and raise chocobos" which either should work out to years or chocobos just have a freakishly short gestation period and growth time.
Idk I know it's fantasy and all but I like when things make at least a little sense.

In short, you have to do quests and collect "eradia" to give it to a tree or something to extend how much time the world has left.
When you run out of time, the world gets destroyed and you have to start a new game + apparently lol
There's this though:
Quote: Chronostasis: This EP ability freezes the game clock for 75 seconds of real-time, corresponding to 30 in-game minutes. Therefore, if you can regain 2 EP every in-game hour, you will theoretically be able to chain Chronostasis infinitely.

Further more, if you check out SplitPlaythru on youtube, his channel has the full JP walkthrough and he's currently uploading the english walkthough for anyone interested (although his english walkthrough has omitted a lot of the side quests and he's doing it purely for the story I think).

I was thinking more that while you do the quests, you get a stock of it, then you turn it in all at once at the tree and it freezes it for a total time. So basically you could do all of your exploring & questing, stock up on the EP, then when you get to the tree you could throw something like, say, 100 at it and you would get about 2 hours off it.

Eagerly awaiting my collector's edition!!! You guys won't see me for like 2-3 weeks xD
Just to confirm, as long as I play/download the demo and submit my battle score for the boss in the demo, I should get the Utsusemi Garb and the Siegfried outfit, right? Not to mention the Cloud one for pre-ordering and the Aeris one for collector's edition.

Most of the commands had lv. 1 or 2 next to them. And you can customize your commands. I transferred Ice Strike over from one class to DRG.

seigfried? i only seen saw utsu garb
Utsusemi Garb for downloading the PS3 Demo.
Siegfried for uploading your battle score on the boss.
You actually get them when the game is released.

No, you don't get any notifications. When the get hits though, and you pop it in, you should be able to grab it then.
For Utsusemi, if you check your download history, it came with the demo.
Info: Clicky
Extra info!
If you have a save for FF13, you get Lightning's Guardian Corp Outfit. If you have a save for FFXIII-2, you get Lightning's Knight of Etro outfit.
Dont know how to get the FF14 Mi'qote Dress yet.
Heartseeker Outfit is modeled after Locke Cole from FFVI!
Splendid Admiral is modeled after Faris, from FFV!

So.... Apparently ordering my collectors edition and FFX HD from the SE store at the same time was a bad idea. They're apparently going to wait til 3-18 to ship my order and I can't cancel now. >.>

Yep, I made this same mistake with the FFXIV CDs. I ordered Before Meteor and After Meteor together and now Before won't ship till After is released.

So how do you get the Aerith code? Is it from the collector's edition only or can you get it from somewhere else?

Collector's Edition, pre-ordering from the Square-Enix online store is the only way to get it.

Odds are you will be a DLC after a while the same as they did with XIII-2.

Do the DLC costumes unlock new jobs, like Yuna = Summoner, or are they just optical candy being worthless?

They each give different abilities.

Square Enix Teases More of "Final Fantasy XIII" Lightning Saga
"A storm gathers" with a reveal planned for September 1 at Shibuya event

August 22, 2012 11:15am CDT
Square Enix is teasing the next step for the story of Final Fantasy XIII's Lightning, which came to an end with May's Final Fantasy XIII-2 add-on, "Lightning Story: Requiem of the Goddess." Despite the DLC's conclusiveness, a new teaser site promises a reveal of "the new direction for the saga of key character, Lightning."
As the site says, key members of the FFXIII development team—including the Producer, Director, and Art Director—are preparing a presentation that's set to take place at a Final Fantasy 25th anniversary Gallery event in Shibuya, which will be held from August 31 through September 2.
The FFXIII presentation itself is going down on September 1, so we'll have to wait until then to find out what Square Enix has in store. Are you ready for more of the Lightning Saga?

The latest issue of the Japanese edition of Shonen Jump has treated its readers to a shot of the new look for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII's titular character.
A trailer is promised for the 2013 edition of the magazine's annual Jump Festa event.
