FF XIII. I'm currently in Daejin's Tower, or whatever it's called. I hope I can go back to the plains you enter Pulse at, cuz' I didn't get any portals out there (If there are any), and I'd sure hate to have to walk all the way back. Also, those Motherfucken Adamancheld and Adamantoise. Couldn't land a singe hit on either, but the Adamantoise did OVER 9,000! damage to everyone. Is it even possible to defeat those buggers?
Yes, you can come back to the plains later on in the game. But it will take awhile before you can do that. Eventually you will be given the option to go back to Cocoon. If you decide to go, then remember that you won't be able to come back for awhile. Once you reach the final area of the game, you will find a portal that gives you the option to go back and forward to the plains on Gran Pulse and Cocoon.
But I would recommend you to just finish the game first and do the hunting missions later, since postgame puts you back on the plains allowing you to finish all the hunts. Also it removes your level caps, allowing you to level up even further.
Also just ignore all those Adamantoise or anything that looks like it for now. You will be only getting crushed by it. By the end of the game you might be able to kill them using Vanille death strategy with some luck (youtube it if you are planning to do it). Postgame after some leveling up you should be able to beat them just normally. Although the Shaolong Gui and Long Gui are totally a different story, but you don't have to worry about them until the later hunts.
