    I plan on obtaining every GF in the game.

    Edit: Unfortunately, Squall just leveled up in the Laguna dream sequence. as far as I can see, it's going to be impossible to keep all of my characters at their starting levels for the entire game.

    How's it going Nik? It has been a while since you updated.

    Oh, and 1 level more or less won't make any noticable difference.

    Jeez. I thought I had updated already. Guess not.

    I haven't played in two days or so, but I'll be getting back into it tomorrow for certain. I beat the brothers, though. They were, by far, the hardest boss I've faced thus far, but they weren't all that difficult. This is too easy, so for now, I am disabling commands like str. 20%, etc.

    Have a sit and think before you make such a descision
    You may find that disc one is easy because well....it's disc1!

    Like a low level FFV walkthrough. Disc one is insanley easy to finish on levels 1,1,2 and 3. Halfway into world two and BA-BANG oh dear i'm dead

    I hadn't played in a few days, as usual, but I finished disk one last night. Perhaps this challenge will get tough after all. Edea was moderately challenging, and even the Iguions were tough. BGH251F2 should be really challenging, I think. So will the oilboils, and so will Norg. I also think that the second battle with Edea is going to be tough as well. I'm off to go play right now.

    Awesome. But I don't recall "Norg" having any really dangerous attacks so I actually don't thing he will be too hard. The second Edea on the other hand... and Cerberus...

    I remember Norg being hard when I first played the game and didn't know how to junction, but then again, so was Diablos, and I offed him in my first try.

    Fujin and raijin might be moderately difficult, too.

    And I've passed the missle base and BGH251F2 wasn't all that hard. He only beat me once and that's because I made a stupid mistake. I'm in Balamb Garden now, and I carded for fun I attempted to beat a T-Rexaur. I had to use card, though, so I didn't gain exp, and it wasn't difficult in the least bit. I'll be fighting the Oilboils within the hour, probably, unless I quit and do something else.

    Use the fact that Raijin doesn't attack women to your advantage.

    haha, I found out the hard way a few years back.

    I'm fighting oilboils now. This challenge just officially got hard. They've beat me four or five times within a ten minute period.

    Edit: holy.. [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]... This is boss fight alone is harder than any boss in the FFIX challenge, including Ozma. Hell, this fight might be more challenging than the entire FFIX challenge put together. The Oilboils have a [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]load of HP. I haven't even killed one of them yet. Their attacks cast Darkness, and they can cast curse, which pretty much means certain death since these guys are practically unbeatable without limit breaks. Perhaps I am going about this the wrong way, though. Does anybody have any strategy suggestions for me? Currently I have Zell using defend, and healing if he ever gets the chance, and rinoa attacks and heals, while squall attacks unless i'm about to lose.

    I don't think I've lasted much more than 5 minutes against these guys.

    Double Edit: Holy smurf! I did it! I managed to beat them. Everything in that battle went right for me. I just got smurfing lucky. They didn't use sonic wave once, and I somehow managed to survive all of thier other attacks. I'm fresh out of phoenix downs, though. I hope norg wont be too tough, becuase if he is, my limited resources might make him impossible.

    LOL i'm a bit late for the strategy advice. Looks like you wiped them out though, good stuff.

    I forget what you can and cant do. Yes to in battle abilities and items but no to magic, summons, out of battle abilities and weapon upgrades yeah? Can you use magic out of battle? Does using items in battle to cast magic count as a magic cast?
