Aeris has awesome Limit Breaks

[Carl the Llama]

What influences when characters unlock new limit breaks? I have Aerith at level 30 and she only has up to Breath of the Earth. In all the times I played the game, Aerith never had all of her limits at level 23. That seems highly unusual.

There's a certain number of kills you have to hit to advance to each new Limit Break. Like you have to kill like 80 or 150 to get a new one (I can't remember off the top of my head, but there's a guide for it on gamefaqs).

But, having all of her limit breaks at lvl 23, I agree, doesn't make a lot of sense to me either unless you just hung around Midgar and made a bunch of low exp kills to get them. That's the only plausible explanation.

The glitch affects -all- characters. Not just specific ones. I -do not- have the manuals for Cloud or Barrett (or Vincent come to think of it), thus I can't even try to teach them their Level 4 'Breaks. All of my characters have progressed just fine to Level 3, I simply cannot teach them Level 4's -because of the glitch-.

To get her limit I simply used her to kill every enemy I encountered, it only takes 80 kills to get her 2/1 limit, and I got that about 10 minutes before I encountered Yuffie for the first time (which admittedly did take quite a while) but I wanted Yuffie (who was part of my A Team) as soon as possible, a simple casting of Matra Magic can wipe out an entire group of enemies pre Junon (the point at which I got Yuffie) so getting her 3/1 (another 80 kills) was a walk in the park by the time I was level 23.

For the record, I get people don't like to use her, really I do, but saying she is crap in battle is simply not the truth, its like saying Vivi from FFIX was crap because he had crap physical attack, you just have to play to their strengths.

I don't care if she's the best magic user in the game (her magic stats are only slightly better than Cloud's and Red's, btw) she's still useless because you lose her extremely early in the game.

Btw I would consider the end of disk one to be half way through the game, if not more.

That's not even funny to joke about or use as an example KD

Exactly. You hung around that area. As soon as I got Yuffie, I went on my way and then grinded out for a lil bit later on

I honestly don't see a problem with it, just because you don't like her does not mean its not an accurate comparison in terms of their fighting ability.

I think you misread what I wrote, I said I got the limit before I got her, I never grinded at any point.

[comma]

Oh, so none of your other characters have extra limits aside from Aerith? Interesting.

Fighting in the forest where you get Yuffie is really not getting low exp kills though. Those little plant dudes give unreasonably high exp for that stage in the game, balanced by the fact they are smurfing hard if you're not prepared.

In the forest, yeah, but I'm talking about the general Ft. Condor area outside of the forest. It's essentially the same creatures you run into on the Midgar side, isn't it? IDK. My short term memory is really bad.

But let's look at it this way... If you were a n00b, knew -nothing- about the game nor had a walkthrough, would you still use Aeris in your main party? Or rather, did you in your first playthrough? I sure as hell didn't - and I played it way after 8 came out, bought it used and went through without a walkthrough. Then again, I'm an "O" masher like someone else said ... Unless it's a harder boss, then I just whip out one of my summons and get it over with.

It's a giant Native American bird thing who vomits all over you.

AKA a Condor? Hence the name? You don't fight that thing though. It just lays the Phoenix Summon materia... Or vomits it up. Whichever. And it only wakes up when you intentionally lose the Battle of Ft. Condor and then beat the boss machine thing.

[Jinx]

Oh, I misunderstood. You said that there was some monster in that area that you fight over and over and over again. The monster I said was my reply to that.

[noxious.sunshine]

Lolllll no I meant the creatures -around- Ft. Condor. just out in the world map on the ground.

[Jiro]

The monsters around Fort Condor are completely different to the ones found on the other side of the mountain. They're also different to the ones found in the Mythril Mines too. I promise you that much
