Hey,

 

I found a few threads here that helped me a lot, but I found I needed to do a lot of searching to get some of the answers since i didn't know what excactly to look for, so i decided to put them together here for new people looking for help. So this is just a collection of my google results + this forum. Hope this helps.

*one i'm using myself atm:

Eden, viable post-game or after a lot of grinding throughout the game, because you need almost max health for the 3 charachters you'll be using.

Start out as Sab/Syn/Syn (vanille/hope/fang in my case) and start casting death while the other 2 buff you, using sab/sab/sab at start is silly because the other two will be debuffing the legs. you should be able to survive 1~2 stomps and get 4 to 5 deaths off.

summon, switch to sab/sab/sab so curse gets on adamantoise asap, switch to sab/syn/sab when your haste starts to wear off.

i use rav/rav/com to get some TP from the nearby mobs, using the equipment explained in the "Eden, chapter 12" link. rince and repeat.

this is nothing new, but it does help you get a bunch more death casts off before you have to (if you're unlucky) retry the fight.

Hey guys, i was getting really pissed off that i couldnt manage to 5 star even mission 1 (3 star normally, 4 star with sprint shoes) whilst following the 5 star guide linked in the encyclopedia. So after a little look through the forums, someone else had the same issue and was linked a pretty handy guide.

 

http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps3/928790-final-fantasy-xiii/faqs/60472

 

This link explains the time penalties per item, so if you go in with all tier 3 weaps + power gloves etc, youre gonna be hurting to hit the 5 star mark.

 

So, if youre like me thinking "why the fook cant i get 5 stars on such an easy mission" ... this is why.
