    Okay, so using spells and abilities (they are weak against) deal high damage. Now, I wonder if they're gonna make a list of abilities and spells and which enemies are weak against to what (abilities/spells).

    Does clouds punisher mode increases the focus gauge faster?

    19 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    True and it's almost the same color as the health bar. It's possible that some players will lose focus on the battle while figuring out how much of the stagger bar is filled

    I would request for the same thing. You know what, it's small enough to see to the point that you won't know what's happening around you anymore..

    How to stagger? Switch to ravager and leave one commando to prevent the stagger meter to deplete. Once they get staggered, you can launch them in the air and deal mor- Oh wrong game.

    I hope they change the color or at least give you an option to change the color of the bars. I kinda have trouble seeing it during fights.

    What's up with FF13? I've been meaning to get to the other FFs after I'm done with the FF7 remake.

    Cast a spell then use cloud's thrust attack to greatly ramp that stagger rate then finish it with a braver. Pretty much how most battles happened in the demo.

    12 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    I'm getting FF13 PTSD lmao. Looks like they got it working now.

    11 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Great additions to the combat mechanics! It adds a whole new layer to manage your ATB for skill and spells.

    10 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Ohhhh so that's what their purpose is. I've always wondered what those bars are for lol. Today I learned!

    I personally liked the soundtrack of 13. Only the soundtrack tho.

    To stagger the jumping shinra trooper, switch to cloud then switch to punisher mode. Block and wait for the enemy to attack.

    7 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    LMAO ikr ff13 was a whole mess, glad they did it right this time

    6 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Stagger system is pretty shit in FF13 but it seems they finally got it right this time.

    5 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    just what i need, so that's how you stagger enemies.

    4 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Always wondering about the bars above their heads. So, that's what it is for! Also, realize the importance of staggering enemies. If it gives high dealt damage, it will be perfect especially for boss fights.

    3 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    SOOO that's how you do it. Oh I can't wait to mess those troopers' faces up...

    2 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

    Had the same issue with the demo until I found out that Cloud counters enemies during Punisher mode. This is the key to staggering several enemies.
