yeah I know where they are, but having a marker makes it a bit quicker to find, especially if you have an enemy chasing you that you dont want to fight.

Interestingly map markers are enhanced on the pc version, on the console's the amount you could place was quite limited, yet on the PC I managed to mark all the fertalisers "and" all those things you have to collect in the cave area's. That wasnt possible on the console''s, I also for giggles marked the yuel's flowers.

To be clear krisan probably will have to leave the DRM bit in place, as SE would probably not like DRM circumvention, so I am just asking for the steam cloud check to be disabled.

You cannot disable it in the game settings, I meant I turned it off in steam. To stop it been enabled in other games.

yes the game wont launch if its turned off.

Also it wont launch if steam is offline. Either via steam settings or down internet connection.

Since I hate cloud saving systems, what I have done is turn cloud on, launched the game, then turned it off again.

Please remove steam cloud requirement.

you thinking of atb advantage.

atb advantage = 1 bar filled
first strike = all bars filled (dont need preemptive)

but for some reason in ff13-2 the ai acts after a small delay with first strike, but acts instantly on a preemptive even tho they both should be the same.

So premptive battle gives all party free first strike.
First strike grants first strike every battle for the monster.

I have noticed there is a difference, when a preemptive battle starts e.g. my purple chocobo starts casting buffs immediately, if the fight is not preemptive although the purple chocobo has first strike it waits about 2 seconds before it starts casting, I would say about 2.5 atb bar charge time before it starts.

Is it possible to give it the preemptive behaviour so it starts immediately with the first strike skill like it is supposed to?

My guess is this would be impossible, the game would need recoded to support 6 character paradgrims.
