Final Fantasy 13 Help

<color=purple> Many people here pass this game off as an extremely simple linear game. Others seem to think that it is extremely hard. ... The ability to grind makes the game indefinitely easy with time. But all in all it isnt that hard. But it is worth it to look around every corner, because its better to get tons of free items than to buy them later. And its just nice to see the whole game. Other than that, just have fun. It's a great game.

Hi guys, i'm just starting off Final Fantasy 13 (so no spoilers please) and i just want to know;

Is there anything that i need to do or not do whilst playing through?
i.e. in FF12 there was a set of treasure chests which, if opened, would mean that you couldn't get the ultimate lance in the game.

Also, is there anywhere that has important stuff that i can't go back to after completing the game?


Thanks.

There is one spot that you will not be able to get back to, but it's at the very end of the game. There are two enemies in the area, and each gives you 32,000 CP points per battle. It's a good place to level up if you're going for the trophies/achievements. However, like the beginning of the game, you can't access it again until you start another playthrough. Sadly, everyone is correct in saying that there's really nothing you risk missing. Very sad...

Just keep playing and survive the first 20hrs. Then "the game gets interesting" (says most people who played it, which oddly enough is when I got bored with it and traded it in.)
Good luck.
