Cloud and Aeris were stacked by the end of it, though. I actually almost even stopped playing out of frustration, but I found the atmosphere and characters so engaging that I couldn't put it down.
Oh man I forgot about that. Exact same story here.

Other than that. I was playing once on my Laptop->S-Video->TV a few years ago and blowing through at fairly low levels. After clearing Wutai I went up the Pagoda with Yuffie who I had never used. All went well until Goda, who heals himself. I was keeping track and I was doing approximately the same damage he was healing. I spent over an hour fighting him, burned through all of my ethers and elixers and was just about ready to throw my controller at the TV. He FINALLY died and right as the post-fight cutscene was playing the game crashed.....
I just got up very slowly and silently and went to bed because I didn't trust myself to do anything without flipping out.
