Necron, and the 3rd beatrix were hardest for me when I first played...Beatrix mainly because I got screwed over with the Zorn and Thorn. All of my characters in the yellow and no healing items. So it pains me to say but I cheated to get by her. Then on Necron....I could barely touch him before he killed me! I Don't even remember getting by deathguise. So Alas I also cheated on Necron.

Gameshark: Boss with 0 hp code. That didnt work. When I tried the last kuja He disappeared and my characters just sat there. So...
I checked a video tape my friend had on gameshark codes and I changed the last part of the code.

000 to 001
so they would only have 1 hp...you get the idea.

I hate how I cheated, so I'm going through it without cheating. Lost my old memory card so I had to start ALL the way over, which I wanted to do...since I havent played ff9 in over 2 years. I think I like this game a tiny bit more than ff7. :P Right now after 5 days of playing i'm on disc 3 the treno tourament. So got a long ways to go.

Also: when is the best time to start up on the Ozma sidequest?

Tiamat is a jerk..:P
