Thread: What happened on your first playthrough?

    I abused Edgar early on. I didn't have extreme difficulty beating the game at a normal rate. I did discover the vanish/doom trick on my first play through. It made the next playthroughs easy.

    Edit-I remember now.

    My preliminary playthrough went quite smooth becuase I grinded my butt off the whole way through. I remember that I absolutely adored Celes. She was my role model for the longest time. c:

    What happened on your first playthrough?
    A lot of buttons were pressed, and a lot of Mountain Dew was drunk. And I trout a few bricks at the final battle.

    Yeah, I did not understand how Blitz worked.

    Same here. I forget exactly what I did to figure that out. I think I looked in the manual to see Sabin's moves.

    If I remember correctly, I pressed X twice when selecting Blitz. That got me confused. (on PS1)

    Yea the blitz techniques can be tricky. I had trouble figuring out for the longest time on how to do the first one against vargas. Bumrush was one of my favorites when I actually got it work correctly. It is difficult for me to get the right on the controller or on the ds.

    Playing the PS1 version, I found that I could avoid the diagonals altogether in a certain way. For example, say you had to go down, down-left, left. If I went down, left, left on the D-pad, it counted.

    Bum Rush was easy for me to pull off, I just did a circle around the D-Pad. (no tapping the buttons ) But at first it was confusing of course.

    How about the first battle with Ultros? He was over-powered, I don't care what anyone says. If you don't get bolt first, you're screwed.

    I missed Raiden 70% of the time or so. I didn't break the cursed shields curse. I didn't get Illumina or Snow Muffler. Missed a few other items. Didn't improve character stats. When I did improve them I didn't put speed past 40 and put MagPwr too high.

    Didn't use EXP egg to level up.

    It got easy yet it took a long time to optimize. But now I'm into creating my own stories.
