There's something satisfying about boosting your GF during a summon! I boosted every time, did everyone else?

I always do though I wish there had been more variety with the boost mechanics. Playing Red Light Green Light with the X button kind of got boring.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I was useless at it. I always failed to stop pressing in time, and got sent back down to a lower number...
EDIT: Agree with Wolf Kanno - they should have varied it (maybe a different command for each GF?)
I also would have liked a little variety. Seemed extremely random when you had to stop. Sometimes you could beef it up to 100, others 85.
I just tested it out, and you're not all that limited. The only thing that can cause problems is the D-Pad, but that can be solved by keeping the finger holding select in the right place.
I would have it that the faster you enter the command the more of a boost the attack gets, and the complexity of the command depends on the GF, i.e. early GFs like Shiva and Ifrit have fairly simple commands (but still more challenging to enter than Zell's non-finisher Duel commands), but GFs like Eden would have more complex commands.
The summons being called "GF" have never been more appropriate. Or inappropriate, in this case.
First of all, this was one of the best things in the game.
Second of all, my friends and I would have boosting contests to see who can get different GFs the highest, and my best friend and I have records that I've never found anyone online who can claim to have beaten. We can get everything from Brothers up (except Tonberry) to 250, Siren to 243, Shiva to 235 or 239, Quezy to 214 I think... (no turbo, no cheating, just straight button mashing)
I didn't find out about boosting until halfway through the game or so. But when I did I used it all the time. I think it was a cool detail that made battles more interesting past holding X and waiting for the summon sequence to complete.
I need to get a real signature. Please let me know if you're into this sort of this and willing to help for the price of say, on the house.
For a long time all I knew about boost was that I wanted to learn it first because it's 10 ap.
Ya know, if you guys just bothered to use the tutorials...
Quistis should have mentioned this when she's reeling off her tutorial speeches, just to make sure everybody knew what to do xD
