True, yet it was much easier to kill Sephy when I was at Lvl 100. Those heightened stats help a lot. Plus, in Expert Mode, the enemy attack power is ramped. The low defense makes for quite a challenge. Of course, I'm always more of the 'CHAARRRRGE!' kind of hack 'n slasher. Just Curaga every now and then and laugh as Sephiroth falls.
