I finished off my powering up at Balamb and made it all the way to Galbadia Garden really quick which is where I'm leaving off for the night.

Beat disc 2... left off right as you're about to break out of prison.
You're doing well with this one... I started following your challenges when you first started the IX one.
Kinda of skimming though your previous X one at the moment. Shame it wasn't doable.
Sounds like you're having fun with this one, though.
I don't imagine that this challenge is very hard, and you seem to be handling it well.
If you still have Quake junctioned to Str (doubtful if you beat Disk 2), try winning many Abyss Worm cards, refining them into Windmills, and then in-turn refining the Windmills into Tornado spells. It's a tad bit more effective than Quake for junctioning.
Another easy spell to stock up on, and that's fairly useful for junctioning is Death (which can be refined from Chef's knife, which can be card modded from both Tonberries and Tonberry Kings).
Or you could just kill some tonberries... since they give no EXP.Quote:

A real FF8 challenge is the no GF one. Can't use ANY gf, any gf abilities, which includes junctions, drawing or using magic, refinements, or anything else. I tried it once.... ouch. I'm not entirely sure it's possible to beat Adel at all that way. Keeping Rinoa alive is such a chore.
Ofcourse it's possible and she's a complete wimp compared to Ultimecia... and Ultimecia is pice of cake compared to Omega and Ultima Weapon. :cool: But they are all possible to defeat. I've done this challange... but I prefere my own "command only", no weapon upgrading, no drawing in battle, no cardrefining and no bite bug frying challange. :cool: This means that you can equip GFs, yes... but you are only allowed to junction commands like Item, Magic and GF etc. Any other form of junctioning is forbidden. No Str+60% and no Curagas at HP etc. ONLY commands. AND to make it even more intressting you're not allowed to upgrade your weapons so you have to stick with old, crappy weapons for the rest of the game (NO LIONHEART!!! Mwahahaha) AND you're not allowed to refine cards (NO HERO-CHEAT ITEMS!!! Bwahahahaha). And finally... the ultimate rule... NEVER cast firaga on a Bite Bug!!!Quote:

Oh, and you can't get all the GFs since you're not allowed to draw in battle. MWAHAHAHAHA!!!
ps: you don't need to follow the rule about frying Bite Bugs if you really don't want to... I know it's hard to resist. :cool:
