People will however insist that it's better to have lower HP and use a combo of Auto-Protect/Auto-Shell/Defend. Of course it's the Heavy Tank versus the Titanium-Armoured Shrimp. Personally I'd have the Tank.

- Greater Sphere is a bit annoying, but you only have to beat him about 30 times.

- Earth Easter is *very* quick and easy. Personally, I 4-hit him every time, and only get countered (with a flare that only hits about 1300) twice.

-"It's not impossible to optimise your stats to a point whereby you can have 255 in all stats except Luck".What? Yes it is... indeed, I have all stats including luck maxed out on my main three characters...

- It seems you don't believe BHPL does more harm than good. I'm going to refer you to this: http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/rpg/fina...434&pid=197344. Scroll down to about three quarters of the way down the page, and look for the heading "No BHPL?".
