    Delta Attack is powerful, but you know what? Anima's Oblivion is even more powerful! It's not cheating.
    Believe me, you need The Magus Sisters when you want to beat the Dark Aeons - really hard battles.
    Peace and grace,

    That's because Yunalesca is technically 3 different enemies fought one after another, and BFA is two.
    I believe Yojimbo can kill any enemy, the only thing that limits you is when you have access to Yojimbo. Someone should hack in Yojimbo at a stage where you can't normally have him, and check if he can Zanmato stuff.

    I'm fairly sure that's what they did to determine the Zanmato exceptions.

    All it really boils down to is whether or not Yuna can use him, and multi-form monsters, and that's what matters.

    "Cheating" as you are arguing about, also boils down to this: "Can I kill the enemy boss really fast with this?" In which, case, using a controller is a form of cheating. Thank God I don't fall under THAT category!

    They both do the same amount of damage

    In PAL and Int., Delta does 2 hits, while Oblivion does 16 hits.

    In the NTSC and NTSC-J, they do only one hit.

    yojimbo can zanmato anything before his aqusition, as the zanmato chance figures are printed in the guide.

    btw ther is some limit to using zanmato on harder bosses, they have a higher zanmato lvl meaning that in order for u to use zanmato ur relationship figure with yojimbo need sot be really high and u'll have to pull out all the stops to use it.

    Why do you imprison your saviour?

    And that means nothing, because it doesn't.

    I'm pretty sure I counted 3 hits on my PAL game. I'll check again later.

    Delta Attack hits six times in the PAL/Int. versions.

    Correct! Delta Attack hits 6 times (PAL) - easy to count.
    And Oblivion hits around 12 times - very hard to count.

    On my longest/best save (155 hours),
    the Delta Attack does 150,000 in damage
    and the Oblivion does 170,000 in damage.

    So, Anima's overdrive is a little better!
    Peace and grace,
    Simen Sebastian.

    Delta Attack's maximum: 6 * 99,999 = 599,994
    Oblivion's maximum: 16 * 99,999 = 1,599,984

    ^ Excactly. But I don't damage maximum yet.
    Peace and grace,

    It's very easy to control them; they aren't very random at all.

    Always let mindy "Do as you wish" until she does passado, then have her repeat. If she doesn't, she will probably do a normal attack. She may occasionally use black magic, but as long as your aeons aren't reflected it is very seldom. Dont' have her do offensive magic.

    Never have sandy do as she wishes. She willa lmost always cast reflect on one of the girls. Have her attack or do defensive magic.

    Cindy can do whatever the heck she pleases. If you let her do as she wishes, she'll do autolife quite a bit.

    Delta attack is almost never woprth doing. Using that turn to do two or three passados is.
