Hi all.


After I've been stuck for quiet a while, I've started to play ff: xiii again. A 
huge thanks to Orin, Misty and Brandon for helping me solveing my issues.
One of my sighted friends which is a huge gamer, helps me to explain how menus 
works and other things when I get a new game, but he doesn't like the ff games 
cause the storyline confuses him, and especially the menus, skills etc. 
confuses him. Therefore I had to figure it all out on my own by reading 
walkthroughs and reviews, and of course talk to others who have played the game.
To people who are saying this game is not playable, I can tell you that's not true. 
Without getting sighted help, I've managed to boot up the game for the very first time, 
learn how the battles work which took me some time to get used to and play the game until 
I came to Odin in level 4. In level 4 I needed a lot of help from Orin, brandon and 
Misty. I hasn't upgraded the characters because I didn't knew how to do it, and it took 
me some time to find out what "paradygms" are.
I feld pretty much stupid then I noticed I just needed to upgrade my 
characters, and I'm pretty much surprised that I got that far without leveling 
up at all.
I hear that the game is accessible up to level 11 when you come to "pulse." 
This is fantastic. Personly I've never spent my money on a game which offers so much of 
accessible gameplay, and great storyline. I'll say the game is really worth the money, 
and I tell you it gives many hours of awesome gameplay.
It would be awesome to have a guide which explains how all the accessible 
things works in the game. I'm not talking about a walkthrough here, but a guide 
which explains all menus, how to level up, the battles and all things. I might 
starting to write a guide when I got the time. What do you say? Wouldn't that 
be cool? Blind folk should be able to buy the game, read the guide and start 
playing it without getting stuck cause they need sighted help.
Best regards

You're most welcome, Soren. Having just recently finished that game, though, also with Misty's help, I can tell you that it's not entirely playable. It's a sad, sad thing, but once you get to Chapter 10, you have to deal with an incredibly open area. Nothing will be easily found. Of course, there's nothing wrong with trying given the chance you have to level up while you're there.
