My point is that there's nothing at all wrong with finding Ultimecia a difficult challenge. Geeks on the internet might mock you for it, but then again they've been playing the game for about 8 years and might have long since forgotten what it was like the first time they played it.
Well, I mean, I know how to do that Meltdown Triple Aura thing. Apocalypse is killing me though. I do fine up until that point. Junctioning is easy once you get the hang of it, it's just hard for me to obtain some magic (such as Ultima). I think what I'm gonna do is fight through Deep Sea Research Center to get some Ultima stones, some Meteor magic, more Meltdowns, etc. before I fight Ultimecia.
