Thread: What's the point of Omega Ruins?

  1. #1

    Post What's the point of Omega Ruins?

    OKay, the title explains it all! Now, is there really anything in here that is worth spending hours of gameplay, lost, scared and help less? If so, humor me.

    Treasure, sphere levels, gil, and killing Omega make it a worthwhile time investment, I'd say.

    It's one of the best places to level up in the game. Also, the mimics give you 50,000 gil, which is the most gil you can get from any enemy in the game by far. Also, a lot of the enemies can either be bribed for excellent items or you can win or steal excellent items from them.

    It's an easier place to level up than the Monster Arena, but it goes more quickly than Zanarkand.

    You can get a TON of spheres from monsters and chests.

    You learn a blue magic (Nova).

    It's got really good music that you only hear in a couple other parts of the game.

    Two 'super' bosses (which aren't that superxD).

    You need it for capturing monsters.

    its good for training.
    and that omege/ultima weapon dude isnt hard. i beat him without any celestial weapons or anything. most damage i could do on him was 9,999. except for when i used the behamut guy.(spelt wrong?) its not as hard as people say.but i did forget to use lancet on him so i never got nova

    When I first arrived there I pretty much died with a random battle or two, so I stuck by the entrance and save point, did a battle, replenished HP, and repeated. After a couple hours I went through the whole place, killed Omega Weapon very easily, and then went and beat the game. If you can survive in this place, you can beat the rest of the game easily.

    If you happen to be lucky enough to open the chests in the right order, with none of them disappearing you can get some AWESOME treasure. This order changes randomly every gameplay though, and I'm not sure if you can save/load. It's also timed. Timing starts when you get to a chest. Here are some of the treasures:
    Lv.4 Sphere
    Turnover (MagicCounter CounterAttack)-Wakka
    Lv.3 Sphere x2
    Friend Sphere
    Cactuar Wizard (Half MPcost)-Lulu
    War Monger (DoubleAP DoubleOverdrive)
    Teleport Sphere x2
    WARP SPHERE x99 !!

    Sum of the fiends give ya good experience, and good items if you over-kill em, You can steel rare items from omega/ultima weapon, and they too give a fait bit of experience, and of course, the most important gain:

    Yea, it's Warp Sphere x99, if you look up just a pinch, you can see most of the treasures that you can obtain by opening chests in the Omega Ruins.

    Also, the Omega Ruins are the only place to get Blue Magic: Nova, and the only place to Capture the monsters that reside there (most of them at least).

    Okay, so what I meant was 'the fiends are easier to kill to level up, so that by the time you kill them without immediately fear of death, your magus sisters *might* be tough enough to kill earth eater without dying much'
