Magus sisters=cheating?

[Cloud master]

I think magus sisters are just stupid. U can beat anybody in the game with a few delta attacks. Is this considered cheating????

[rubah]

Try your new strategy in the monster arena first, please.

You'll find that it's much more difficult to get anywhere with the magus sisters against say, Earth Eater? than a well made team. What with Cindy being so dumb and not using auto-life enough:[ and sandy being dumb and not casting enough Protect:[ and Mindy being dumb and forgetting to use Passado.

Delta attack is hardly worthwhile on those bosses, really.

The Magus Sisters are put in the game by the developers. It is not a bug. Therefore, it is not cheating.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Zanmato > Oblivion > Passado > Attack Reels > Blitz Ace > Delta Attack = Slice & Dice

As you can see there are many attack which are better/have more hits than Delta Attack, so are they all forms of cheating too?

[Firo Volondé]

Magus Sisters are the worst aeons in the game. They're the only aeons that you can't control, and don't have Zanmato. Only thing they're good for are blocking Dark Aeons' Overdrives.

if only u cud make the ultimate team of wakka, mindy and anima n hav them all in at once

personally, i don't think magus sisters are that gud. there's too much chance which there's no room for in harder battles

Zanmato > Oblivion > Passado > Attack Reels > Blitz Ace > = Slice & Dice

In the North American Version its

Zanmato > Passado >Attack Reels > Delta Attack and Oblivion= Normal 1 hit attack

Well Zanmato could be considered cheating because it is a 1-hit kill to nearly everything. If ur talking about the magus sister's passado, that's not really cheating cause you have to get her strength up in order to do damage. Attack reels no because the game developers put it as wakka's 2 overdrive and they wanted to make a very weak person strong. Blitz ace no because only can hit 1 enemy and if you miss the middle at the end you miss major damge.Delta attack.....I'm not sure. It's beginning to look weak because sandy alone can do 99,999 (all of the magus sisters are pretty much cheating). Slice and dice ..sorta cause It hit's all enemies for a max. of 99,999 each

[Mirage]

Zanmato cannot be considered cheating, because it is intentionally put in the game by the game developers. Furthermore, it's pointless saying "making a weak person strong", because every character can activate the same nodes, and you never know what paths other players chose.

[TheSpoonyBard]

You need to realise the distinction between 'cheap' and 'cheating'. Some overpowered attacks could be considered cheap, but it's not cheating.

[Ashley Schovitz]

What is Zanmato, I looked in my strategy guide and they have it as some status effect?

[TheSpoonyBard]

It's Yojimbo's fourth special attack. It kills everything in one hit, with some exceptions.

ExceptionsYunalesca, Braska's Final Aeon, Yu Yevon, underwater fiends, all bosses fought prior to the acquisition of Yojimbo, and all bosses fought without Yuna's presence.

[opiumcloud]

They should've made at least 4 or 5 of the harder monster arena bosses immune to zanmato, to make the players squirm more.

[Jessweeee♪]

Nope. It's cheap play maybe, but not cheating.

Plus they're a little difficult to aquire.

[boys from the dwarf]

to beat the normal game using anima and the magus sisters is pretty cheap.

anima and the magus stisters can easily beat the final boss and yojimbo can kill most bosses. i feel ashamed for ever usign yojimbo agsint bosses which is why im replaying FFx without using yojimbo, anima or the magus sister.

against penance and dark aeons though and nemisis, its not cheap.
