Long live the gremlins:
Well the guide is currently combinations that you can do not to think (in terms of skills Nexus) and due to the very good overview of the 64 side missions definitely while playing away due to the many Item and weapons. But quite perfect, it is not. Here and there exist eg in opponents Glossary misstated Imunitäten (eg the Adaman Testudos just not immune to catch Time Stop spell) but is not so tragic.
What you can do other than it does not recommend the book:
a) Contrary to the suggestions of the solution is in the book is Chapter 11 very fast fit enough for the first 17 missions where you must, after all, already riding Chocobo's mission from 14 to seek treasures. Only one character role should be fully leveled up at the time and already are all enemies (grease up to the kiss, and the Adaman Kaktorius Dinos) fish food!
b) If you have defeated the final boss of Chapter 11 (Barthandelus), you can with vanilla the ability to learn in death manipulator role branch. Thus, it is now possible to make the thick Adaman Dinos at very good chance of success Platt in combination with the very good weapon Morbol rod. So then can be a whole lot more missions create (I even managed a first run at the trials of Titan completely) so that you can unlock even Mission 63, and then at the margin to be deposited Adaman Testudos diligently platinum bars, Trapezohedron (for the ultimate Weapons versions) and nuggets to farm as mission rewards.
c) If the first time is the Chocobo on the plateau in the northeast, where the kiss appears, you should first ride on the far left with the Chocobo and claw the Itembox, so you have to later not specifically kill the kiss, just as to come off.
d) In Chapter 12 in the Eden Hall says the book, one can only decide on a Itembox of the 2 on the glass bottom, because a Adaman Taimai then bursts into a short cutscene in and crashes through the floor and thus the second Itembox disappears. Well ... you can advance outside of Eden Hall, the creature with vanilla's ability death but also easy umklatschen and already you are allowed in peace and without stress collect both item boxes! ^^
Lord of the Weed & Star Wars can warmly greet:
Overall I am very satisfied with the game guide, not to say even "I love it" (... I do not like McDonalds stuff ^^!). For those who love the game FF XIII, and the strategy guide is a must. In addition still looks the Limited Edition from, as you would a legendary big white (and heavy) spellbook in hands! In addition still stick a bit of flour in his hair and a white beard, and their mutated to Gandalf! ^^ Well ... may be with you the power! Why? Well, because in FF XIII this Adaman Dinos seemingly probably the inspiration for the Empire were Imperial AT-AT Ruff to build! But these are also really gigantic beasts that are strongly tempted to spontaneous movie night with "The Empire Strikes Back". ^^
