Don't attack when the tail is up

You can bet your socks I did. This was my first experience with Final Fantasy games and almost certainly my first experience with JRPGs. I had no idea that the very slow dialogue was actually warning me. I thought "Attack while the tail is up" meant attack while the tail is up, not don't attack while the tail is up or else...

I got the whole conversation the first time I played and I would have been 6 or 7 and it was my first Final Fantasy and RPG experience as well. Only time I goofed was when the tail came up before my guy could attack after I punched in the command.

So... *brags*

*is beat up for bragging*

Of course, stupid smurfing Barret. Game over screen before I was 30 mins in.

Usually. There have been exceptions where I was trying to be a badass and straight bulled through the attack.
