    Default Favorite Way to Acquire a GF

    Often times, one must fight a GF before they are to join your side, but there are a couple of other ways you can acquire them as well! For instance, you have to catch the Cactuar King before you can fight him, and you have to go out of your way to find the ring to draw Alexander from.

    I loooved Odin's quest. The countdown, the little tasks with the demons, etc. That was perhaps my favorite. I'm also fond of fighting Cerberus, and fighting Ultima Weapon to acquire Bahamut.

    What GFs were your favorites to acquire and why?

    Odin's quest is number 1 for me.

    The others you mentioned are some of my favorites. I also love fighting Diablos after getting the magic lamp just because of how random it is.

    I'm going to add the Brothers as well, but they are near the bottom of Odin, Diablos, and the ones you mentioned as favorites. I just enjoy the dialogue when you meet them despite always getting lost and confused in the maze.

    I liked going to the fire cave with the time limit and the magic lamp.

    Diablos was great!

    You know, I used to hate The Brothers, but I kindof like their quest now. It just reminds me too much of the Deling City Sewers, which I hate.

    I agree there. I don't mind the sewers or the maze as much anymore just because I know them pretty well by this point. I just like the actual fight and interaction with the Brothers. I also like the fact that it's kind of a callback to the actual mythology of the minotaur in Minos' labyrinth. Sort of.

    Everytime I see GF, I think "girl friend." Which, brought a strangely true sense of depth to this:

    Diablo, Odin, Cauctar, Tonberry, and Bahamut were all my favorites cause I liked they required a bit more than just Drawing from a boss.

    I was going to respond with "by flirting"

    I'm a big fan of Diablos and his recruitment.

    When I think about it, I like the things like Odin, Diablos and Alexander the most because of how non-standard they were. But if every one of them were that way, I'd probably like them less...

    I think it would be neat for each GF to have their own unique sort of mini quest to acquire them. Drawing and just finding them lying around is cool when you find them, but are inferior methods to mini quests.

    One person forgetting that Alexander is drawn from Edea at the end of disc 2, and Doomtrain is the GF obtained by using the Solomon's Ring is bad enough, but two people is embarrassing! :I

    Cerberus definitely chose an interesting time to pop his head up.

    Doomtrain was a bit of a pain in the ass but definitely worth

    Hint: Doomtrain is the one that looks like a train.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    I should have been clearer. I get the ways the party acquires them mixed up.
