    Lets set the record straight first that I've completed both XIII and XIII-2 with relatively no issues but I feel like I'm having a harder time grasping the schema system more than I should. I know how to stagger foes and what to hit them with but I guess the bigger issue I have is with upgrading and managing my time effectively.

    I'm currently on Day 6 (4 to go but not too worried that I won't get to 13) and have completed the Main Quests for Luxerion and Dead Dunes. I have the flying chocobo now and have started the Sazh quest line. I feel that completing the main stories one area at a time seems to be the most effective for me but not for the game. Any tips would help greatly. I spam Chronostasis as much as I can to make getting from one area to another easier.

    In terms of the combat I guess I'm just having a hard time grasping how things like Blitz 2 is better then Heavy Slash 2 or Attack 2. Or what schema layouts to are the most effective. I typically run around with a pretty effective great against anything set but certain things always give me trouble. Chocobo Eaters are particularly tough as an example of where I'm at. Omega versions of the regular mobs too. I know I could probably switch schema's to fight the harder things but that leaves me vulnerable to the easier things. That said though I probably should just do that cause combat is pretty non-essential unless you are trying to build up your EP or Farm drops.

    Anwyays thanks in advance. Really liking the game just wish I hadn't been so late to the party.
