I used the same strategy against X-death as i did in my previous one-on-one battle


Bare class fighter

Sage staff
Diamond shield (no genji shield)

Ribbon
Angel robe
Winged shoes

Redx2 (X-magic)
White6

I mastered a monk before because my Bare class HP increased by 1000. Before i mastered Monk my Bare had 2500HP and after i mastered it it increased to 3500HP.

Whiteball failed when X-death tried. A holy and physical attack were the only other attacks he used. I had initiative from winged shoes and used two holy spells immediatley. I got in another two before he could attack. Then i kept firing out Holy spells until he died and neo X-death came out to play.

This battle seemed to go rather well. He used Grandcross three times throughout the course of the battle and i didn't receive a single status problem. I used redx2 to cast shell and blink which meant i could survive two flares/holys and three physicals. He cast dispel numerous times but a redx2 quickly put back up my defence. All i did really was either cast two holy spells, a holy and cure3 if i needed to heal, shell and blink if hit by dispel, and an elixer to restore MP which i used three of throughout the battle. I concentrated Holys on segment one till that died then segment 2 till that died. Then cast one holy on each of the remainding segments so that one died just before the other which i killed immediatley after. I'd pretty much sussed this battle already so i knew it wouldn't be too difficult. I beat him on my first try.


So there it is. FFV can be beaten with the use of just one character (or two if you include glaufs one-on-one with gilgamesh and kriles one on one with minotauras) Not only that, but my final level was 49! That is so much better then i thought. I was expecting to finish on level 70 or over.

Ive had a pretty [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]ty night and an even worse day today so i don't much feel like celebrating. But i hope people enjoyed following my challenge and maybe inspire them to do one too.

Thank you to everyone who offered help when i needed it. Maybe i'll try another challenge in the future... or maybe the same challenge on a different final fantasy who knows.
