10A: What Fal'Cie Want

10A: What Fal'Cie Want

Pulsework Knight Fight

At the moment you only have control over Lightning - none of the other members of the team are on the Crystarium Menu - but go ahead and cap off Lightning's jobs to the Stage 7 cap (there is no Level change at this point, so all of her jobs are still Level 3 they just have higher stats).

Once you have done that, why don't you check your kit, make sure you have enough potions and other expendable items, and if not why then pop into the store and stock up.  Check to see if you have items to sell to the store for Gil, and you may as well upgrade weapons and/or Accessories if you have the resources to do that.  Once you have completed all of the chores, go ahead and save again and then take a look around the space we are in!

We  can actually talk to our team members if we want to - and they have some interesting things to say, so wander around to their locations and chat them up why don't you?  Van is way up the path so head on up to chat her and then continue along the path and talk to Hope.  After that, why, go ahead and run into the next area to be prompted to leave.  When you say yes you get a CS with Snow, and then  you are back in charge of the party - so pause for a second, we have some more chores to do...

Start with the Crystarium and cap all of their current jobs off now, and then use the nearby save point to lock the changes in.  Now head up the stairs of the train station to trigger a CS - and you discover that all is not as it seems at all!  Before you can say WHAT?! You get attacked!  These are Pulsework Knights - and yes, these are new to us, so be sure that you ID them!

After you win the fight the game tells us that Role Development is Unlocked.  According to the notice our team members can now assume all combat roles, and we can now freely select all members of our combat team.  Evidently that means that we will start to be able to learn all of the jobs, and abilities - when they are unlocked for each member that is.

The CS continues with our faithful buds wandering around and we learn that this is the Fifth Ark.  The Fal'Cie created armies of living mech warriors and then concealed them all over the place in Arks - and this is one of them!  A Pulse Ark on Cocoon - who would have thunk it?
