fortune spheres are a joy for me, because I've started to take nearly sadistic pleasure in trying to beat earth eater.

death proof seems to help a lot though. with the first two counterattacks. then he just does like 2000 damage. x2 and then he's down and the fun begins rikku-> mix->light curtains x2, then have two people quick hit and one person pray once in a while. Well, that's with ~250 magicdef and agility, but still.

It beats using the magus sisters. which is what I did for the longest time. I remember being so proud when I would kill it with passado, 'cause that was an overkill and you got *two* fortune spheres for that!

and now he's overkilled every time. *shrugs*

I want to beat nemesis now-_- I have a couple of freshmen in band at school that I discuss final fantasy with, and one of them was doing the monster arena and I was cheering him on to beat neslug, and now he's gone and beat nemesis, whereas I'm too lazy to go and finish out the cavern of the stolen fayth (stupid tonberries!) and inside sin. (haha omega ruins! you were pwnzed!)

Mmm kottos. It's so much nicer when he doesn't kill you every time and you don't have to use auron defending with counterattack. It really really is. Every time I messed up the timing it was just *that* close to death, and you just had to weigh whether autolife would be faster or going and hasting would let you have another turn to use sentinel. . . man I'm glad that's over for now

97 hours of gameplay? I think I was doing the cactuar sidequest at 100 hours, because I kept a 100:00 save in bikanel it's so funny^_^
