    I completely forgot about the thunder removing water effect. If I knew that, I wouldn't died as much. xD

    Cecil seemed like the only person to ever survive the Tsunami, until I level'd up some more.

    Aha! Thanks.

    And uh... are my levels too high or something? Because as far as the increased difficulty goes, I actually remember FF4 being harder than it is right now (that doctor is the only exception). So far, I have only had 4 Game Overs. Once on Mombomb and 3 times on the Doctor.
    I just entered Babil Tower for the second time (chasing Rubicante. I now have Edge) and my current levels are the following: Rydia: 48, Cecil: 47, Kain: 44, Rosa: 41 and Edge: 37.

    I have never power-leveled, but I also never run from battles (until recently, to avoid EXP gain) since it's usually both faster (or at least equally fast) and safer (especially safer) to just kill the enemies instead of trying to run from them.

    Ever since I put "Draw Attack" (best ability EVER) combined with Counter (second best ability... EVER) on Cecil, every battle except that crazy Doctor has been a complete cakewalk. All you have to do is defend with Cecil and have the rest of your team attack (and have Rosa use Cure on Cecil every now and then or Prayer). All the enemies do is attack Cecil, dealing minimal damage since he is defending, and then he will counter. The enemies only attack other partymembers when they use attacks that damage your whole team. And on top of that, Cecil is apparently immune to certain attacks like "Blaster" (each time a Blaster has hit Cecil it has said "No Effect"). So basically, Cecil is like a Wobuffet in pokemon (for those who doesn't know, it's a very cheap pokemon that is banned in tournaments simply because it has so high HP that it won't ever go down, and will "counter" your opponent's pokemons to death without fail), except better. It's just crazy.

    Ultima, what does Draw Attacks do?
    Is it like a taunt?

    Except it's passive, meaning it's always on.

    Currently have my Cecil with Kick/Draw Attacks/Counter/Level Lust. It's rather hilarious to have him counter with Kick every time he's attacked by enemies.

    That battle took me by surprise. You just have to pay attention to the barrier shift.

    Ashura and Leviathan are now in my grasp (Leviathan killed me twice, by the way). Leviathan's summoning sequence looks the coolest so far.

    Next up: Sealed Cave.

    it's a moot point if I can't keep people alive long enough to cast spells/summons. Which apparently I can't!

    I forget what Golbez does during that fight that's so threatening. If anything, try to get your buffs on Cecil before everything starts going to hell.

    sap is pretty debilating, and the level-2 black magic is horrible, but what's worst is when he gets low on mp and starts osmosing me to death.

    I'd like to know how he absorbs damage from the sword that casts stone on you. That boggled my mind. Did they add stone as its own special element?
