My first time playing through FFIX was on level ~63 at necron, only got ko's from meteor (and only on vivi and garnet which i phoenixed with steiner and zidane). Otherwise just attacked/cast flare/shocked/sighed with boredome/ scanned and missed/ detected for items to steal/ tried to steal nothing in a deperate attempt to get something, some satisfaction, from this boss.

Give me emerald weapon any day who rewards you with all-summon, all-magic, all-command and is actually hard. (and has more than 2 health)
