If you just ignore all the treasures and stuff on the way... then I think it's a shorter way to go than in Gagazet... isn't it?

Possibly, but it might have a higher ratio of mob groups that can slay me without fail, without me getting a turn. For instance, in Zanarkand there is the mob group with the kicking robots, every group that contained them would kill me without fail whether they ambushed me or not, because they all had higher agility than me and used moves that could kill me in one shot, no matter what. The only hopes of surviving were happening to get pre-emptive strikes against them, or just manage to make it through without encountering even one group of them. Zanarkand wasn't really that much space, so I could luckily make it 6-7 battles without encountering them. But in Sin, I may have 60% of mob groups capable of killing me without me even getting a turn. This would make a 10 battle run nearly statistically impossible. We'll just have to see how it works out and hope for the best I guess.
i just suffer my first gameover in the thunder plains i got ambushed by the thundara trio larva imp and imp god damm it but oh well try agen
If you are in dismay over one Game Over the challenge is not for you. Once you reach the later portions of the game you will suffer hundreds of failures just to reach a freak accident occurance of not encountering a certain type of enemy, etc. Mt. Gagazet is going to drive you nuts, assuming you have the patience for The Wedding and Seymour + Mortibody, which are so improbable they were considered impossible by many NSG-goers.
Yea... You should be familar with game overs before you do this challange. :p

There were things such as "Full Cure", "Level Down", "Materia Broken", "Weapon Broken" So that it either impaired you or helped you out in the following battles. Beating this raised Battle Arena points which could be spent on things inside the arena. At the top of the list was Cloud's omnislash item and W-Summon materia.
Hey, Necro... how's it going? :hyper: :excited: :hyper: :excited: :hyper: :excited: :hyper:
I'm accumulating items before I take on Sin, I'm also playing through Final Fantasy V again since I haven't done so for years. I've tried Sin a few times and failed on the Sinspawn after you kill the two fins. He's not terribly hard, I just played stupid both times, and the cutscene is so damn long I don't want to go through it again after I lose once, I'll try again tonight maybe. I'm leaving for Los Angeles for the weekend tonight however, so I don't know how much I'll be able to play until next week. I've just had a lot on my mind, school, work, my mom getting a restraining order against my stepdad, my grandma breaking her knee and overdosing on pain medication, etc. Give me some time.
Ok. No problem. You don't need to hurry. I was just wondering. :greenie:
Good luck against Seymour Omnis!
Yu Yevon and the possessed aeons will be easy since your characters are permanently on auto-life.
Well, I beat Left Fin + Right Fin + Sinspawn Genais + Sin Core this morning. It's actually not all that hard, here is how it works:
Left Fin
>>Enter Tidus, Yuna, Wakka
>>Left Fin does nothing
>>Tidus fakeswitches
>>Yuna summons Anima
>>Anima uses Haste on self
>>Anima uses Pain on Left Fin (about 5000 damage)
>>Occasionally Left Fin will attack for about 1300 damage
>>In this case Anima uses Cure two times on self
>>Repeat until dead
Right Fin
>>Enter Tidus, Yuna, Wakka
>>Right Fin does nothing
>>Tidus fakeswitches
>>Yuna summons Anima
>>Anima uses Haste on self
>>Anima uses Pain on Left Fin (about 5000 damage)
>>Occasionally Right Fin will attack for about 1300 damage
>>In this case Anima uses Cure two times on self
>>Repeat until dead
Sinspawn Genais
>>Enter Tidus, Yuna, Wakka
>>Genais uses venom (Kills one member)
>>This turn will result in the two remaining members having turns in a row, the second turn must be Tidus or Wakka
>>First turn swaps for Rikku
>>Rikku mixes Trio of 9999
>>Tidus uses Slice and Dice or Wakka uses Attack Reels (Overkill)
Sin Core
>>enter Tidus or Wakka, and Rikku
>>Rikku uses Al Bhed potion
>>Tidus or Wakka fakeswitches
>>Sin Core uses Gravija
>>Repeat until Tidus or Wakka has their overdrive again
>>Tidus uses Slice and Dice or Wakka uses Attack Reels (Overkill)
As I suspected, Inside Sin is incredibly incredibly tough. Maybe longer a distance than Mt. Gagazet. There is a few mob groups that will almost indefinately kill you in one turn, some that definately will. So you have to go the entire length managing not to fight them. It's possible, but it's going to be difficult as all hell.
Well... goodluck then...
Hey! I just got back from Los Angeles this weekend, I was giving inside Sin a shot over there a few times each morning when I woke up... The most frusterating experience, I got all the way to about two steps before the save point and got slaughtered by three Ahrimans. I've been hesitant to continue to try since then, it REALLY REALLY frusterated me because I got EXTREMELY lucky to make it as far as I did, and it was all in vain... Don't know how long it will be until I get that lucky again. What is even more frusterating is that I sort of went into panic and tried to run when I should have just sunbursted with Rikku and killed them to progress, of course I stumbled on the run and was killed... I could have been to Seymour if I had only thought about it for a second. Oh well... Give it awhile, I'll make it through...
I am suprised you have made it this far through... keep it up, can't wait to hear your victory!
