That's not my point. Zero means you should have accomplished zero. LOL! bottom line. If I beat a boss or a fiend I should get at the LEAST one star.

I dont think so actually. Its like a time trial. You can finish a race and still completely fail the time trial. Although I havent started playing yet. So once I start getting no stars Ill come back in and complain with everyone else

Yeah but you still finished the race. LOL! What makes me mad is if you pull of beating monsters that you have no business fighting you aren't rewarded. You are punished for taking to long. LOL!

Now I have beat the time AND still got zero stars. Not sure how that works - I beat the time by over 20 seconds.

And I will add that I have gone over the time and still gotten 2-3 stars on some of those bigger boss fights. So I'm confused by this rating system.

I can't comment on the zero stars as that really shouldn't happen, but you can still get 2-3 stars being over the time. If you're allocated a lot of time for a boss and you go over, it's still possible.

If you continue to get zero stars while being under the target time then perhaps there is something more to the rating system other than speed.

I dunno, but theres 32 achievement spots

 

[Kratos]

Sweet thanks for the advice guys

What's the point of stars or points anyways? You still get the same amount of CP and that's what you use to level up.

 

[Raikirik]

Getting zero stars means you didn't perform well in the battle.

If you'll notice, there's a target time on the results screen. This is based on your party's stats and current equipment. Beating the enemies in a far shorter amount of time than the target time results in five stars. Get closer to the target time and you'll get three stars which is a par rating. Lastly, if you go past the target time well, I'm sure everyone is familiar with the ratings there.

The better your rating the higher chance there is for an enemy rare drop to appear in the spoils at the end of the battle.

For ratings

Just started Chapt. 8. How many chapters are there?

13 in total, no I'm not kidding. Am I blocked or something? I cover the questions you guys ask but they seem to go unread.

I think more stars charges your TP gauge faster. So you can use summons quicker if you perform well.

I think I'm at 8 or the end of 7.

I haven't read this whole thread...just skimmed through...so I must have missed where you answered that question.

Actually I didn't answer the question you asked before but I did cover other topics that were asked about that still surfaced after I posted information about them. I wasn't directing it towards you specifically so no worries there .

Onward to chapter 10!

 

[Jen]

Yeah that was a tough battle. I'm on Chapt 10 too. Hopefully finish this game by the weekend.

 

[kobayashi93]

I need to learn how to level up weapons. Even with the guide I'm confused... I'm starting to get beat up on a more frequent occasion.

you can at the save points starting at I think level 4

 

[kobayashi93]

Yeah man, I'm way past being able to do it. It gets complicated though.

This is just weapon talk but I'll put it in spoiler anyways.

Spoiler

Basically each character has 7 base weapons that can be found and upgraded to a second level. From the second level they each level up to a characters ultimate weapon. Depending on which base weapon you chose to upgrade, your ultimate weapon's stats will be different.

EDIT*** I leveled up my weapons properly...... My characters are now on steroids.

 

[Satin]

I just started, on Chapter Two atm, and was wondering if anyone could help with two small things. First, when can I actually start leveling and changing abilities or anything of the sort. Second, with Lightning's weapon, the wikia page shows art of it transforming since it's a gun-blade. How do I do that and is the gun better than the sword?
