    I don't use Irvine, at all. But his ultimate does actually sound amazing. Like, if you could get 9999 damage with each shot you do... *drool*.

    Oh, and Selphie has an insta-kill limit break called 'The End'. It's ineffective against Ultimecia and Undead monsters, but everything else is game. Yes, that includes Omega Weapon.

    Hyper Shot does 9999 every shot, but it's a bit slow. Fast Shot will do roughly 5000 or so and it fires much faster. Too bad it runs out so fast that way.

    Selphie does have The End, but that is the cheapest battle trick in the history of the universe.

    Speaking of Fast Ammo, ever tried FFX-2's Trigger Happy with a Turbo Controller and Haste?

    It's so cool XD

    I always found Adel to be quite hard. The Urge to kill Rinoa was just overpowering.

    Yeah other than that I'm not really sure. None of the bosses were that challenging really. I suppose Necron was annoying for Grand Cross or Neutron Ring, whichever one inflicts all the statuses, if you aren't prepared for it. Ultimecia is just pathetically easy. Sephiroth can be difficult sometimes but he's easier than Necron really.

    You can destroy basically anyone in FFVIII by junctioning 100 magics like ultima, flare, meteor and full life (triple for speed) to your stats.
    If you get 255 vit and 255 spr, (which u gotta user the vit bonus and spr bonus before your level 100) then almost every attack will do less than 1000 or even below 100. Final Form Ultemecia is the only one who can lower your health down to 1.

    Let's face it. If you don't know the trick, one boss can be a pain in the arse. Gerogero is an annoying boss with status attacks that can blow your head off. And at that point of the game, you may have low health. But ya know, I have always found the boss in the missile base and NORG very tough, but not impossible to beat. Overall, some bosses are tougher than others, but still beatable.

    Gerogero's status ailments are easily countered by drawing Esuna from him. Really defeats all challenge in that battle.

    If you don't get really good at using the Junction system on your first play through the game and basically exploit the ability to summon GFs rather than raising stats and casting Aura a lot (which can be boring for new players), you will not get past Adel.

    Oh, be nice!

    Here's how my characters were if it's of any help:

    Ultima, Life, and Full-Life on everyone's elemental defense, making them absorb all elements. Strength stat near the maximum (strong magic for this can be found at the Island Closest to Heaven/Hell) and lots and lots of Aura.

    In battle, I summon Cerberus, triple Regen and Aura...sometimes spells like Haste, Protect, and Shell, but mostly just Regen and Aura, then go insane with the limits.

    If you have Bahamut's card, it refines into 100 Mega-elixirs, which is pretty handy in Ulti's last form.

    You're absolutely right, but maybe it's just me who had this problem. You see, my first version of the game was bought from Russia(pirate version, I admit it ) and the game was acting all funny and everything. And if you're playing the game first time, then it might be a little weird to you. I shall admit, I had many problems playing the official version too. It took me a lot of time to learn all the things, because it was very weird after playing FFVII for months. And of course, I think it's not that easy to get Esuna magics if your low-leveled, am I right?

    You just need a decent Mag stat to be able to draw successfully. If the player doesn't, then they could just throw a Phoenix Down at him.

    I think Ultimecia is teh 2nd easiest boss in FFs...(1st is Yu Yevon---he like an itsy-bitsy spider thing and very silly). If you have Lionheart and max. HPs for all characters, no proble to defeat Ultimecia...
    I think the toughest boss in FFVIII is Omega Weapon. Still, if you leveled up very well it is hard anyway!! I was Lv. 100 and HP 9999 of all characters, and still I needed to beat that Omega for 30 minutes...Even I had Hero and Holy War too...But when you beat it, you take Omega Proof, and this was an honor for me to read it (trust me, it makes you happy)...
    Anyway, I thought in my very early play times of FFVIII, I can beat Omega when ı was low-level..But its just a dream. Don't think about it.
    Still I can't beat Necron well in FFIX...
