04.)                                                 EASY, NORMAL, HARD - G0400
===============================================================================
===============================================================================

The game features three difficulty settings, and here I'll explain the
differences between them.

1. EASY MODE
- HP automatically recovers between battles.
- 0,75x modifier is applied to enemy stats.
- You cannot obtain all enemy item drops (those will be greyed out).
- EP obtained after battles is graded like this: big enemy 4 EP, medium enemy 1
  EP, and small enemy about 0,25 EP.
- Gil dropped by enemies is 50% less than on NORMAL mode.
- Certain EP abilities cost less to use (for example Teleport costs 2 EP).
- Using EP ability Escape gives no penalty to remaining time for current day.
- If the enemy strikes Light [BAD encounter], no HP penalty is incurred.

2. NORMAL MODE
- HP does not recover between battles.
- Enemy stats are at default value.
- You cannot obtain all enemy item drops (those will be greyed out).
- EP obtained after battles is graded like this: big enemy 2 EP, medium enemy
  0,5 EP, and small enemy about 0,12 EP.
- Some EP abilities' costs are higher than on EASY (like Teleport with 3 EP).
- Using EP ability Escape returns Light to the same state as before entering
  combat, but 1 hour passes on remaining time for current day.
- If the enemy strikes Light [BAD encounter], she takes 5% MAX HP as damage.

3. HARD MODE
- This mode can only be selected after you defeat final storyline boss on
  either Day 13 or Day 14.
- HP does not recover between battles.
- 3,5x modifier is applied to enemy stats.
- You can obtain all enemy item drops.
- EP obtained after battles is graded like this: big enemy 1 EP, medium enemy
  0,25 EP, and small enemy about 0,06 EP.
- Gil dropped by enemies is 50% more than on NORMAL mode.
- Some EP abilities' costs are higher than on EASY (example Teleport for 3 EP).
- Using EP ability Escape returns Light to the same state as before entering
  combat, but 1 hour passes on remaining time for current day.
- If the enemy strikes Light [POOR encounter], she takes 5% MAX HP as damage.
- Certain weapons and shields can only be obtained in this mode.
- 13 garbs can obly be obtained on this mode, and all are bought in shops.

4. PALLAS ATHENA GARB
- To get Pallas Athena garb (obtain Platinum Trophy), you do NOT have to play
  on HARD mode, as all trophies can be obtained on EASY mode.

05.)                                                      NEW GAME PLUS - G0500
===============================================================================
===============================================================================

1. You can start a NG+ in three ways:
A - Getting Game Over by running out of days.
B - Completing the game by defeating the final boss.
C - While already on NG+, a green hourglass (Crystal of Atonement) appears in
    the Ark from second day onward. Examine the hourglass and confirm your
    choice twice to immediately suspend your current game progression. Make a
    save and use it to start the game from beginning. This is much better than
    having to manually truck through the days.
    Note: another Crystal of Atonement is available on Final Day before the
    cathedral, should you change your mind.

2. When you start a New Game+ (regardless of how achieved), you retain:
- All items, except quest items.
- All weapons, except one weapon which you get in final dungeon.
- All shields, except one shield which you get in final dungeon.
- All accessories.
- Accumulated statistic bonuses, EP and ATB increments, as well as item slots.
  Even if you completed quest X on first play, complete it again on second play
  for a second (smaller) statistic boost.
- Gil obtained.
- All garbs and adornments collected.
- EP abilities obtained.
- Any and all quest progression is not carried over.
- Enemies slain counter is not carried over. This counter is important for
  Omega enemies (I'll explain more on that in the walkthrough). Omega enemies
  are called the Last Ones in the game, but when you fight one, it has a greek
  sign for "omega" next to its name, hence my calling Omega enemies.
- Accessories can now be upgraded (read next bullet for more info).

3. When you start a NG+ from a save on which you defeated final boss, you can:
- You can choose HARD mode.
- You gain the ability to upgrade shields and weapons at the Forges. To upgrade
  a weapon or shield, you need cash and upgrade materials. Mats are either
  dropped by enemies of bought from certain shops. Weapons and shields can also
  be downgraded, if you so choose.
- Accessories are upgraded a bit differently. To cite an example: when you get
  to Luxerion for the first time, you begin just before the N train station.
  Look to your left to spot a ladder. Climb it and jump to nearby railing to
  find a treasure ball with accessory inside. When you open this same treasure
  ball again on NG+, the accessory you got on first round will get upgraded.
  You can upgrade it one more time on NG++. However, on NG+++ you will then get
  cash instead.
- Forges carry more powerful equipment if you play on HARD.
- Damage output is increased by adding a new option in settings menu - Limit
  Break. Get it by collecting treasure cube in the Ark on Day 1. When this
  option is ON, Lighty's STR and MAG can be increased to 9999, instead of
  capped 5000. And her HP can be increased to staggering 99999 HP!
  However, you're not graded after boss or Omega battles, and you can't submit
  scores. You can still obtain trophies though.

4. Completing main quests, subquests or Canvas of Prayers quests that you have
   already completed in previous playthrough will yield lesser rewards in terms
   of stat boosts. You get more gil, though.

06.)                                                        WALKTHROUGH - G0600
===============================================================================
===============================================================================

First off, here is some important advice to take with you.

1. By completing six main quests and subquests, which HAVE to be completed as
   part of main quests, you can accumulate enough Eradia for Yggdrasil to bloom
   six times (equals six additional days) in order for Light to reach Day 13.

2. However, Yggdrasil can bloom seven times - five orbs will bloom on tree's
   stem, then tree's flower blooms partially, and finally tree's flower blooms
   completely into an orb.

3. Completing all six main quests and at least 40 subquests before the end of
   Day 12 has following effects:
   - Yggdrasil blooms for the 7th time, therefore you can reach Day 14!
   - On Day 13 you get access to Ultimate Lair bonus dungeon.
   - On NG+ you get to fight different version of final boss.
   - In order to reach Day 14, you must complete at least 40 subquests. ATM
     I confirm that having 40 subquests is enough to reach Day 14. Kouli
     comments that 37 subquests is enough, which I shall test in the course of
     this walkthrough.
   - After blasting final boss, you can enjoy extra ending scene.

4. Depending on which day you decide to complete MAIN quests, you may fight a
   different version of the boss for that quest. This applies to main quests 1,
   2, and 4.

5. Completing MAIN quests may award any or all of the following:
   - HP boost
   - STR boost
   - MAG boost
   - EP counter boost
   - ATB bar boost
   - Item slot expansion
   - gil

6. Completing subquests may award any or all of the following:
   - HP boost
   - STR boost
   - MAG boost
   - Item slot expansion
   - gil
   - garb
   - weapon
   - shield
   - adornment

7. Completing Canvas of Prayers quests may award any or all of the following:
   - HP boost
   - STR boost
   - MAG boost
   - gil
   - weapon
   - shield
   - adornment
   - item

8. There are 66 subquests in the entire game.
   - Luxerion has 20 subquests.
   - Yusnaan has 16 subquests.
   - Wildlands have 22 subquests.
   - Dead Dunes have 8 subquets.

9. There are 83 Canvas of Prayers quests in the entire game.
   - Luxerion has 13 quests.
   - Yusnaan has 14 subquests.
   - Wildlands have 25 subquests.
   - Dead Dunes have 18 subquets.
   - And finally 13 global quests, accessible from any Canvas.

10. The maximum amount of completed subquests on FIRST playthrough is 64, and
    on any subsequent playthrough 65.
    - There's a quest in Dead Dunes that can only be completed in NG+.
    - One Luxerion subquest must be failed in order to access another subquest.
    You can complete all Canvas of Prayers quests on any playthrough.

11. Depending on whether or not you strike the enemy to initiate a battle:
    - Striking unaware enemy begins the battle with all enemies at 75% MAX HP.
    - Striking aware enemy begins the battle with all enemies at 90% MAX HP.
    - Light suffers 5% MAX HP penalty if enemy strikes her (not valid on EASY).

11. Three real life seconds equal one ingame minute. So rounding it down 72
    real life minutes equal 1 ingame day. The game stops time while you're in
    menus, cutscenes, or battles. The only exception is Ultimate Lair, where
    time flows even when yu're in a battle.

12. Here are several instances on how to recover your HP.
    - Play on EASY mode where HP autorecovers between battles.
    - Use items like Potions from item menu.
    - Regen buff, applicable thru various means like specific potions, or as an
      auto-ability of certain equipment.
    - Curaga EP ability.
    - Sleep at a hotel.
    - Eat at a restaurant.
    - Mediguard ability.
    - Certain auto-abilities of accessories.

13. Be sure to read the section on Rare Forge!

MAIN QUEST 0-1
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Select your difficulty mode - personally I'd recommend EASY, since the game is
played quite differently from FFXIII, or FFXIII-2. You also have access to the
same stuff as if you'd play on NORMAL, plus since enemies drop more EP, you can
accomplish more during the days. But in the end, it's up to you. I'll be basing
the walkthrough on NORMAL mode.

If you have Internet connection to your console, I advise turning on Outworld
Service as it will be of huge assistance. During you travels you may encounter
people or animals with bluish text above them. Talking to such a person or an
animal will bring you to a menu from which you can sometimes buy an item or a
weapon. Be on the lookout for Ether (2800 gil) and Turbo Ether (5600 gil) -
these two items recover EP gauge, which can prove to be a lifesaver in certain
situations. Sometimes you may be lucky and get an Elixir offered! If you have
360000 gil to spare, buy the Elixir for a trophy.

- The Patron's Palace / The Ballroom

After the intro scene Lighty is thrust into the first battle. Pass [Schemata]
tutorial and follow the instructions, then kill Anubys foe. Post-battle you get
to wrestle with [Camera Settings] tutorial and then you can move around the
area. Subdue all foes present, and when you fight another Anubys you'll be
greeted with [Guard] tutorial.

With all foes defeated, continue up the stairs and a robed person will teach
you about [Recovery Items]. Buy Potions for all items slots - you start with
six items slots, but it can be increased by completing main quests and one
specific subquest. Continue upstairs to see Snow OHKO an enemy and run forward.
Hold R2 to dash, but this drains the blue bar in lower left. If it drains
completely, you have to wait for small cooldown before you can dash again.

- The Patron's Palace / Passageway

When you enter a battle with at least two enemies, prepare for [Changing
Targets] tutorial. Continue after Snow, climbing the ladders and whatnot until
you get to blocked passage. On one of pillars nearby is the switch you need to
press to open the path. Carry on and you smash it up with friendly neighborhood
dragon Zaltys.

[Staggering] tutorial is presented. Assault the foe with Thunder until you
achieve stagger, then switch to the other garb and continue using regular
attack's on Zaltys' head to get second stagger. At this point dragon falls on
the ground and is completely helpless for duration of stagger. The game will
now allow you to use your first EP ability Overclock. For the cost of 2 EP
Lighty's abilities are sped up and have no ATB cost, and all enemies' actions
are slowed to a crawl. Overclock doesn't make you invincible, so you must still
beware not to take on too much than you can chew.

Anyway, activate Overclock and pester your enemy with physical attacks until it
goes down. After the battle climb another ladder and push on to TM to end this
quest.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
WLK02 - WELCOME TO THE ARK
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

- The Ark / Divine Garden

If you want to play Lightning dress-up, she can get 71 garbs in the game. 57 on
your first playtrough, 13 on HARD playthrough, and last garb when you obtain
Platinum trophy. She starts with two garbs already - EQUILIBRIUM and DARK MUSE.

Official guide technically counts 74 in-game garbs, so let me explain. Way
later in the game three of your existing garbs get upgraded. They retain same
name, but get a "+" added on the end, and their abilities change. Visually they
still remain the same, though - so that's why I count 71 garbs instead of 74.

Begin by collecting four TC floating around to get weapon DEVIL'S DAUGHTER,
shield PRYTWEN, BLIZZARD LV1 & LIGHT GUARD LV1, and a garb MIST WIZARD. When
you collect all TCs, [Customizing Schemata] tutorial rears its ugly head.

Complete it and you obtain EP ability Escape - for no EP cost you can escape
from any battle, but it comes with a penalty. If you're playing on NORMAL /
HARD, one hour passes on the remaining time for the current day. If you check
main menu, you'll see "EP abilities" menu with another EP ability Curaga (for 2
EP you can completely recover your HP).

Now you have to examine the bookshelf with Book of Conquests on it, and choose
to fight Zaltys from Main Quest 0. A handy [EP Abilities] tutorial pops up - as
for the foe, just repeat what you did several minutes ago, or choose Escape
like the tutorial asked you to. While in the Ark battles, you can freely expend
EP and items which are then refreshed and returned to you upon conclusion of
the battle.

Okiedokie, talk to Hope several times to get the lowdown on what is going on
and what you're supposed to do. Eventually he gives you two choices, so pick
top one. For a certain EP cost you can buy some items:

1) Day 1: X-Potion (1EP) - full HP recovery
          Mega Remedy (1EP) - removes all debuffs, buffs: Veil
          Phoenix Down (1EP) - revive from KO, buffs: Protect, Shell, Veil
          Warrior's Potion (1EP) - recovers HP, buffs: Faith, Bravery
          Holy Water (1EP) - recovers HP, buffs: Protect, Shell

2) Day 6: X-Potion (1EP) - full HP recovery
          Mega Remedy (1EP) - removes all debuffs, buffs: Veil

          Warrior's Potion (1EP) - recovers HP, buffs: Faith, Bravery
          Holy Water (1EP) - recovers HP, buffs: Protect, Shell
          Regen Potion (2EP) - recovers HP, buffs: Regen
          Reraise Potion (3EP) - recovers HP, buffs: Reraise

3) Day11: X-Potion (1EP) - full HP recovery
          Mega Remedy (1EP) - removes all debuffs, buffs: Veil
          Phoenix Down (1EP) - revive from KO, buffs: Protect, Shell, Veil
          Phoenix Wing (2EP) - revive from KO, recovers all HP, buffs: Haste
          Hero's Potion (2EP) - HP rec., buffs: Bravery, Faith, Vigilance,Haste
          Crusader's Potion (2EP) - HP rec., buffs: Protect, Shell, Veil, Regen
          Regen Potion (2 EP) - recovers HP, buffs: Regen
          Reraise Potion (3 EP) - recovers HP, buffs: Reraise

You can get more background info for your primer by picking second choice, and
when you're done, go to warp device and examine it, then confirm you're ready.
Each time you complete main quests and certain subquests, Hope gets new
information you can talk to him about.

Each time you come back to the Ark, you'll find treasure cube/s with some
goodies inside.

   Day 6 onward.
2) Accessories can be upgraded on any type of NG+. Example:
   - On 1st playthrough you collect Satin Scrunchie from TB.
   - On 2nd playthrough you collect Satin Scrunchie from same TB, but it
     upgrades into Satin Scrunchie+.
   - On 3rd playthrough you collect Satin Scrunchie from same TB, but it
     upgrades into Ribbon.
   - On any subsequent playthrough you get 2500 gil from same TB.
3) Treasure balls that yield bangle accessories and Sheafs (or items that let
   you know enemy vulnerabilities and stagger conditions) award you with 1500
   gil or a sellable-only item on subsequent playthroughs.
4) Sealed treasure balls with pin or bangle accessories award huge amounts of
   gil on subsequent playthroughs.
5) Weapons and shields can only be upgraded on NG+ save, which was started from
   cleared data on which you defeated final storyline boss.
6) You need special materials in order to level abilities or upgrade weapons
   and shields. Mats are dropped by enemies, or bought from Adventuring
   Essentials merchants.

IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT ENEMIES GROWING STRONGER!
1) As days pass in the game, most enemies will grow progressively stronger.
2) Boosts for enemies occur on days 7, 10, 13 and 14.
3) Omega foes fought within the Ark will always have stats of Day 13 version.
4) Item drops you can obtain from enemies depending on difficulty mode, and
   which day you encounter the enemy.

NEW GAME PLUS DETAILS ABOUT THE ARK
1) When you arrive in Ark from NG+ save on which you defeated final boss, there
   is a new TC in center of the room. Open it for PROOF OF OVERCOMING LIMITS.
2) A new option appears in settings - Limit Break Settings. Setting it to ON
   allows Lighty's HP to exceed usual HP, STR and MAG caps. STR and MAG can now
   max out at 9999 value, and HP can be boosted to 99999 HP.
3) On day 2 you will find Crystal of Atonement next to the book shelves. This
   crystal allows you to immediately suspend current game progress and make a
   clear data save. Upon loading this save you again begin at day 1.
4) New TCs appear on each day, though this time they contain upgrade materials.

WLK03 - HOW WILL THE WALKTHROUGH BE WRITTEN
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Dear readers, since there's no definite way I can think about writing the guide
regarding the days remaining, this is how it shall be done.

- I will not be writing the walkhrough per days, but per quests.
- Main quests will have own subsection.
- Sidequests per area will be grouped in own subsection.
- Canvas of Prayers quests per area will be grouped in own subsection.
- Contents of treasure balls will be grouped in own subsection. Also given will
  be the location of TB, with exceptions of TBs that you find in dungeons.
- I will tell you if you have to return the next day in order to continue the
  quest. Therefore I hope that based on the information given you'll be able to
  figure out the best possible way to achieve as much as possible in one
  playthrough.
