Item -> Phoenix Down

Actually hi-potions might have a better hit rate I think, if you can buy them at that point. I can't remember.

No, Phoenix Down is the best Item vs. Undead. It's 100% guaranteed to kill them.

From that list, I had the Big&Tasty, Salad Shakers, super-sized meals (rarely, and only if I was sharing the fries), Orange Hi-C, McSoup, and Sweet Chili sauce. The only one I'd personally care about returning is Sweet Chili sauce (although I might try soup if they improved it as suggested in the article).

The discontinued item I most wish they'd bring back is Biscuits and Gravy.

Fun fact (not really): I never teach my ninjas to throw anything except shurikins and balls.

Flail is worth learning later in the game. Morning Stars hit almost twice as hard as Yagyu Darkrood and Flame Maces are a decent upgrade to Flameburst Bombs.

Its just that whenever people bring up these new genders its sounds like you theyre just sayingg variations of the main 2. Like you mentioned gender fluid. Thats someones who goes back and forth between being a guy or a girl, right? So that isnt actually another gender. Youre just alternating between being a man or a woman.

I bet a lot of this is a consequence of the language not having good words for use in defining the concepts that non-binary people are trying to describe.

I've been getting them every year for several years. I used to be too lazy to get them, but that changed when people close to me became immunocompromised (fighting off cancer).

Furthermore, I believe I've been helped at least three times by the shot. Twice I did not get sick even though several other people where I work got the flu, and another year I had a very mild case where I only missed two days of work outright and was fully better within a week whereas coworkers who didn't get the shot were out 2-3 weeks with the flu.

These things will increase your chances of enjoying FFXIII:
--if you like digging into combat and optimizing your play
--if you like well balanced mechanics
--If you like in media res openings to stories
--if you like characters and stories that subvert or deconstruct the standards of the genre

These things will decrease your chances of enjoying FFXIII:
--if you like exploring an expansive world and discovering things
--if you like customizing your characters
--if you like straightforward storytelling

If you decide to play the game, I recommend turning off the mini-map, staying open to experimenting with paradigms, and keeping an eye out for ways that you can use manual command entry to do better than Auto-battle. And if you have specific questions, drop by the FFXIII board.

With that being said, if I didn't have the internet I never would have figured out how in the hell to recruit shadow. Mostly because I would never have thought to take a random weapon to the Coliseum.

I don't remember where the clues are, but the game definitely drops hints about this. The game's actually very good about dropping hints if you talk to everyone, and talking to everyone was par for the course back when this game was made.

He is there, actually. He doesn't say anything interesting, but he's there.

I do believe the scene where Cid dies is the intended course of the story, and I believe it makes for better development of Celes' character.

Celes :(

...you gotta get the fast fish.

huh? She's still alive so at least she sucks at killing herself

There's an alternate scene. If you successfully keep Cid from dying, Celes never takes the "leap of faith" but instead is shown the raft by Cid. Getting this scene requires that you feed Cid more good fish than bad fish, and that you do it fast enough to overcome the timer that ticks away his health. The best fish move the fastest, thus the comment.

There is an enemy called Dragon that you can encounter on the Floating Continent. Locke can steal Genji Gloves from them.

Good thing I save stated there

Just want to say that I wholly disagree with the idea of spending hours farming for Genji Gloves. Getting 1 or 2 extra is more than enough.

You should.

When I see a signal-less driver in a turn lane, as a defensive driver, I'm trained to assume that they don't actually know it's a turn lane, and are going to make some dumbass decision to swerve back over a lane because they don't actually want to turn.

It depends on the turn lane, but by default this. Signal your turns unless you're somehow going to increase confusion by using the signal (yes, I've been in scenarios where this was the case).

14.0 was objectively the worst mainline FF game. They fixed it and now 14 is one of the best, but it was literally so bad it had to be fixed (and those of you who feel we spent way too much time with the 13 series can probably blame 14.0 for that).

All the Bravest is probably the worst game to bear the FF name to date.

Of the poll options, 2 is the worst for reasons already mentioned above.
