Does any one?

[Neco Arc]

I don't use GFs either, too much trouble when I can kick their arses myself. I do summon Eden once in awhile, Eden is my favorite. That GF can do some damage, but not much compared to Lionheart.

I am also currently in the middle of the No Junction Challange. So far I have gotten to just before the party sets out to Timber for the first time, without using or junctioning GFs...which means no items during battle either. GFs are pretty useless once you get good magic to junction.

i think a no junction challenge is impossible... even if you could get to the last boss in the game, how are you going to protect against hell judgement followed by whatever magic ultimecia would use...

My thoughts exactly. The game wasn't designed to be completed without junctioning.

[FinalCetra]

So far it hasn't hindered me. I was able to succesfully get around the spider, and beat that thing on the Dollet Radio Tower. Selphie and her limmit break would save me against Ultemicia. Limmit-break= Full cure. That's saved me lots of times.

In the no materia challange all limmit breaks are allowed, just no junctioning. Using items after a battle, where you can w/o a junction is also allowed.

I got up to Odin before I noticed boost, thus noticing junction.

0_o.

[FinalCetra]

So I do not spam, I will create a no junction challange thread.

It seems, at least to me, GFs are useless once one figures out the junction system.

[chronic_Maniac]

Can someone explain how they are useless? I use them before I would ever cast magic cause when I use magic it brings my stats down. unless you like drawing magic you'll find gf's are really handy.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Item refining is more effective than drawing magic. I find, and I'm sure many others do too, that physical attacks are more effective than GFs providing you junction correctly. The only magic I use is status-inflicting e.g. Triple, Aura and Meltdown. I don't need to worry about the magic lowering my stats as all characters have 255 naturally, including Luck.

[FinalCetra]

Ahh, now THAT I do, Forest owl, I completely agree with you! I use helpfull magic, mostly Aura. I hardly ever even use Curaga or any healing magic anymore. And before I fight Ultimicia, I change the Bahamut card into 100 Megalixers.

thats a little unessessary

[TheSpoonyBard]

One could argue that keeping the card is a little unecessary, too.

unessassary or just pointless. i dont collect the cards. i use them to refine into items. But Megalixers are never really nessessary. Finalcetra is certainly no n00b to ffviii so i wouldnt of thought he'd need them

Summoning GF is when you want to exercise your fingers.

[ljkkjlcm9]

I summon doomtrain, for Meltdown in tough fights, kinda like I summoned Hades for Stop in FFVII (namely on Ruby)

THE JACKEL

[Fatal Impurity]

the only reason i dont use GF's that much is because it brings down your SEED rank....my tactic for ultimecia is easy: cast triple on everybody, cast regen on everybody then triple ultima and attack ultimecia for ages and use curaga and full life when needed!

[a nirvana fan]

I often use Odin most of the time, but I generally don't use GF, I just use ATTACK
