Oh, the dangers of being too powerful. Rinoas Angel wing killed Griever before he could actually use Shockwave Pulsar. However, if that happens Griever uses it immediately before he dies, and I didn't get the chance to use a Hero. I'm still alive though, because of Angelo Reverse. Selphie and Zell can dissapear for all I care. Right now I need Quistis, and Squall/Irvine. Right now Rinoa has 86 HP and I just used a Hero on her, and not a moment too soon because about 1 second later Ultimecia uses an Ultima spell. I'll tell you how the rest of the fight goes from here.
Edit: Game over.

nik, have you ever considered using Armageddon Fist for this challenge? Or is it useless for what you're trying to do? (Or do you think it's cheap?
)

It's completely, and utterly useless. Or at least it seems useless. Zell can't do more than 70 damage per hit.
I've discovered something. Well, two things actually. The "planet attack" is actually called "Great Attractor" and it isn't a threat at all. With protect equipped it can't do more than 300 damage.
Oh yeah, I experienced another game over. When you knock off grievers bottom half he goes berserk. I think I might need Rinoa. I'm using Heroes and he's still beating me.
Edit: Game over.

Done. I've just made it past the third round thanks to Rinoa. This might turn out to be my very last battle in this challenge.
I had her at Zero hp (I could tell by Irvines shot) and then she uses Apocolypse on me. Game over.

One question: Are you allowing yourself to scan the monsters to see how much HP you require to knock off, then resetting the game or are you putting on a strict barrier and saying "no magic of any kind is to be used at any time between now and the end regardless"?

If I break the rules, I reset the game. I don't see why I can't intentionally break the rules and then reset the game. It's just that once I get to the final stage of the last battle it becomes a major pain in the ass to restart the game. In the past, though, I have been able to use the recover ability to tell how much HP an enemy has, but that only work with enemies who have less than 9999 HP.

This challenge is complete. School started, and I hadn't played FF8 in some time. However, I just fired up my game tonight, and I have finally defeated Ultimecia. It's finally over, and what a gratifying challenge this was!
Edit: I forgot how excellent the ending to this game is.
