Ok thanks for all the replies, but the thing is I am already doing all these things, Critical Hits, Junctioning str and using Meltdown, yet still I get low to mid 7000's I think it may be a result of having a low Str and Junctioning to make it better, so I started a new game and got Str Bonis in Balamb right after I got Ifrit, so I am trying it again but I dont know if it will work.....Please help....
