    I think that's just poor english or something. Being part of the prerendered backgrounds, the translators probably couldn't do anything with it. I think of it as a spread ratio. It makes sense to be able to switch between causing medium demolition of a large area and total destruction of a small area.

    I beat her! It took some doing but I finally beat her. Edea reverted back to who she was as Matron talking about how grown up and strong we've become and Rinoa passed out after tending to Seifer and Seifer walked away. No idea what happened there. Anyways, onward to disc number three!

    Brief summary of the sorceress fight.

    Edea: Dispel!
    Me: Mega Potion!
    Edea: Status change!
    Me: Reverse status!
    Edea: Death!
    Me: Full Life!
    Edea: Marco!
    Me: Polo!

    So, Edea was possessed all this time by Sorceress Ultimecia, an evil sorceress who time traveled from the future! Dun, dun, dunnnnnnn! And there's another sorceress by the name of Adel! Dun, dun, dunnnnnn! Ultimecia wants Ellone's power to travel to the past to compress time so Edea gave up her body to protect Ellone. Not sure how that protected anyone... but okay. Edea is afraid what would happen if Ultimecia combined powers with Adel. Adel is unaccounted for and was involved in the previous Sorceress War but may still be out there.

    Rinoa is in a coma and nobody knows why. I had another Laguna dream and talked with Ellone who kept telling me you can't change the past. Who am I to argue with history? Man, it looks like we really do need a doctor. Doctor, what do you make of all this?

    The Doctor Gif.gif

    Quit foreshadowing, Doc.

    Laguna and his pal Kiros were on set to film a movie! The only problem was a real dragon showed up in place of Kiros inside a dragon costume so I had to do some swordplay. Got my ass handed to me, but that's okay, infinite continues.

    Then we fought! I won. Now I want to use Ellone's powers to bring back Rinoa so I'm going to see if Edea knows where Ellone's ship is. I'm looking for a white SeeD ship somewhere in the ocean. You know how much ocean there is on this planet? Yeah, exactly.

    Cid: But, but, but. That isn't something for a leader to say.
    Me: I'm not going to sit here and be lectured on good leadership qualities by a coward who ran away in the middle of a battle.

    I love the Garden Battle because it shows you that Balamb Garden really is just a high school full of losers playing soldier.

    Galbadia Garden kicked their ass.

    Which is sad because the Galbadia troops have to be the weakest enemies in the game. A few melee hits and they're dead.

    Kinda spoils my review if I do, but since my top #20 games list also spoils the review (SPOILER)yes.

    I found the SeeD ship! Let me tell you this game doesn't do a good job at telling you the continents at all. I ran halfway across the map before finding out I was already ON the continent I needed to be on and the ship was right next to Edea's house. Haha, whatever.

    Ellone wasn't there anymore but I did run into Zone and Watts again. Zone wasn't happy about Rinoa's current situation but Watts managed to calm him down, I got off with a warning. Pfft, like I'm supposed to be afraid of a guy who gets stomach aches every five minutes. Ellone wasn't on the ship anymore, she jumped on an Esthar ship. Why? I don't know. All I know is we're heading to Esthar. Frigging hard to pronounce words...

    DUDE! I just grabbed a comatose girl, put her on my back and took off with her. No one stopped me? Where's the doctor? Where's security? I shouldn't just be able to take off with unconscious girls like that.

    Oh, they were all waiting for me. Haha. Edea part of the party now, eh? Cool. Time to pick my team. 19, 17, 15, 12, whoa, Edea is level 26? All right you're coming with me. That goes, that goes, destroy that and I will have your heart. She doesn't have any magic? A sorceress... and she has no smurfing magic already? *sighs* Why do they always get weaker when they join your side? *junction switch* There we go.

    Eeh, Zell's HP is lower than mine and Edea's. *equips Full Life to HP* NOW WE'RE TALKING!

    No, I didn't.

    When Rinoa passed out at the end of disc two I was like, Ultimecia went into her, didn't she? And wouldn't you know it, that's exactly what happened.

    Esthar isn't a fun town to run around in when you have no sense of direction, almost missed my ride for Zell and co. Took Irvine in space with Rinoa and myself and talked to Ellone. Got to see some glimpses of Rinoa's past and then I saved her from falling through space and being lost forever. After failing twice and having the game need to tell me what buttons to push...

    Bad news is she unsealed Adel and the monsters on the moon are going nuts. Yeah, there are monsters on the moon. Moon looks like a giant eyeball right now, but it's okay because I'm in love.

    Wait, no. This is terrible!

    The goofy astronaut from the space station is Laguna, isn't it?

    Edit: HUG HER GODAMMIT! You are not worthy of the codename ToriJ!

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I HATE THESE MONSTERS IN THE SHIP SMURF AHHHHHHHHHH! *flips table up through a window and lands on Hope killing him on impact*

    No... Alexander... Pretty sure you need his Med LVL Up skill to be able to make Remedy+ which is needed for doomtrain :/

    You can get Alexander on disk 4, but its literally right at the end of the game.
