    You can get it from those winged monsters outside of Fort Condor. I'm horrible with names; someone help me out here.

    So you can get it pretty early in disc 1.

    Zemlezets or something like that have white wind.

    Simply put, I agree with Raistlin. I still use other materia as well, however.

    There's four Enemy Skill materia in the game, and at least two of them are available as soon as disc 1, and at least one of them as late as disc 3. So don't worry about it.

    choas: Really, I use both of them. I never really chose one over the other, but used Enemy Skill more frequently 'cause some very useful abilities came out quite a low MP cost.

    Rubedo: It also felt fun and rewarding to use Enemy Skill. Magic felt rather boring really.

    Four? I can only think of three. The one after the boss in the Shinra Lab, the one in the house on the right side of the City of Ancients and then the one you get for talking to the green chocobo at the Chocobo Sage's house on the northern continent. Where's the fourth?

    I'm pretty sure there's four. *thinks*

    Isn't there one in Junon? *goes to look it up*

    EDIT: Yep. There's one in the Junon shops that you first go by dressed up as an MP.

    Discuss.
    Casting Ultima played a key role in my single defeat of the Emerald Weapon (I didn't have Knights of the Round). Also, with Magic Materia you can counterattack. I'm not sure if you can do this with the Enemy Skill Materia. However, I will agree the Enemy Skill Materia has much more useful spells.

    But why Ultima? Bahamut ZERO is more powerful and only costs 50 more MP. Use that with Quadra Magic.

    Um...did you cheat to get Quadra Magic then?

    Chocobo breeding isn't hell, just takes time and patience.
    I started breeding two days ago, and last night, I got my gold .

    Little tip, Sylkis Greens boost all stats, yes, but so do Tantal Greens, and for only a small fraction of the price. The downside, they don't boost stats as much. I just used Tantal Greens for everything until I got my gold chocobo, then I sold all of my MASTERed All materia for over 5mil, then I fed 99 Sylkis Greens to my gold chocobo, and he still had some pretty good stats.

    :shoot:

    Actually, I just used the Counter Magic Materia and Ultima. I didn't get Quadra Magic until the end.
