    I've never bothered to get it quite simply because I've never bothered to use Aeris. Even in my first playthrough, before I knew she was going to get bumped off, she never really appealed to me as a character as some of the others did. Like Rantzien, I've often thought about getting it but have never bothered to follow through on such thoughts.
    Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.

    Except that it's rarely necessary, in most of the RPGs I've ever played, to power level to the point of flicking a boss away with one finger. Bosses can easily be taken out at average to below average levels by just using simple strategy. Knowing how a boss works, what equipment to wear, what skills to use, standard things like that. That's why it produces a question mark when some players automatically think they have to start leveling up if they lose against a boss.

    Anyway, I never get Great Gospel. Though I have seen a video of it, and it does indeed look cool.

    In my last playthrough of Final Fantasy VII, I allowed Aerith to learn Great Gospel and use it in the remaining boss battles until she left the party permanently.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    ah, but to learn the strategy to kill said boss you'd either need a strategy guide or fight it a few times to figure out what equips, magics, ect. to use on it, unless you have the option to change equips during battle...
    anyway GG rules get it at least one playthrough, i'm sure it's what the creators would want, seeing as it's there...

    Don't even need an faq if you just pay attention to the boss and plan accordingly. And yeah, well, I'd much rather die a few times on a tough boss, and actually figure out a way of defeating it effectively, then waste time grinding.

    wheras i'd rather get it done the first time, leveling isn't really much of a grind if you're smart about it and don't wast resourses doing it...
    you see there is no right or wrong way to play and those that claim there is are just trying to be elitist, everybody has their method, what works for one person may not necessarily work for another, some ppl like to spam pots like there's no tomorrow and others like to hold onto their resourses incase they unexpectedly run into something they may have a hard time with, it's all in the individuals playstyle, in FF7 i personaly like to be lvl20 by time i leave Midgar while others are content with lvl8-10, but i also like the asthetics of Midgar and don't really wanna leave it anyway, but due to limited explorable space i have to move on eventualy...
    anyway my point is really it should not raise the question mark when someone's playstyle differs from your own cause we are all different people with our own ways of looking and reacting to things and games are no different, if someone wants to get beatdown by a boss and see the Game Over screen some upteen times that's ok, and if someone wants to breeze through boss fights and never see that screen that's ok too, one does not make someone a better gamer than the other...

    Besides the fact that you'd be like lvl 60?
    not so, you only need to kill 240 enemies to unlock her level 3 limit, and yes I have got her limit break every time, I find useing Matra Magic a good method of killing a large amount of mobs.

    I've never gotten it as I hate using Aeris. I'm more of a Yuffie and RedXIII person earlier in the game. I don't get it purely because I never use her.

    i vowed to never try to get it again after i got it once and that f***ing wh*re b*tch died on me before i could teach it to her...i knew she...*ahem*...'left permanently', but i didn't think it would be so early, so i didn't have the previous limits before she was 'taken' from me (it was pretty good to have her off my hands though :rolleyes2)

    also, those people (person?) saying that she 'learned' it in the last battle before she died...you are aware that you actually have to 'teach' it to her right?

    I got her to learn it in my last playthrough, it was nice to use. Also, on the fact of beating a boss down vs. barely winning, I prefer to beat bosses down after I buff up to really make the fight a breeze, except vsing Emmy/Ruby, I love to get my ass kicked by them when I'm underpowered, except I killed Ruby before in an underpowered state.

    I've never bothered cause i smurfing hate Aeris.
    also, i think that if a boss isnt a challenge then its pointless. if i start breezing through the bosses, then i feel a little disappointed cause theres no challenge left
    I made one myself for a change! Although you can probably tell that..

    Wait a second... Aeris dies!? OMG! You all have just spoiled a huge part of this game for me! Thanks for marking your spoilers.

    How do you learn a final limit break? You need to use item.
    Unless you mean you had activated the item before the battle?

    No time for "Dilly-Dallying" or "Shilly-Shallying."
