That’s great! Good luck in finally beating the game! I can’t wait to read your progress reports. :)

I have no idea what the strategy is. I watch these videos where people completely annihilate the bosses, while my characters can barely get over 100 per attack. It’s rather sad. I wish I knew what exactly they were doing to fight so well. And I don’t know how exactly the boss levels match your characters’ levels, either. They seem to have a range from level 1 to 65, but I don’t know what that’s based off of.

It’s absurd, really. The battles get no easier the stronger my characters get, and until I can figure out what I’m doing wrong, I’ve given up on the game. It’s a shame, because leaving a game unfinished bugs me.

Huh, apparently I managed to reply to myself some how. That’s what I get for posting from my phone. Was meant to be a redone to theduckofindeed and Hatm0nster…

Alright, I’ll do that then. Thanks for the tip!

Ultimecia is a hell of a fight, especially as you can’t use GFs against her, since she’ll just destroy them and ruin your junctions. From memory she can potentially destroy magic as well, but it’s not as common. The way I beat her (and I’ve done it a few times) was having Rinoa with all of her limit breaks learnt, fully junctioned for defense, and everyone else set up for offense. Seems like in that final fight, Angelo’s life saving moves go off far more regularly than normal, so Rinoa was able to stay alive and keep everyone else standing for as long as possible. The issue is that if someone gets knocked out and isn’t raised immediately, they’re gone. A couple of times it came down to Rinoa making a list stand against Ultimecia on her own, whittling her health down. Took about an hour or so if I recall correctly.

The game does a pretty good job of letting each character level up in a balanced manner for the first disc (i.e. when Aerith is alive) so I would level her up simply b/c she does serve as an asset in the first disc (i.e. when she’s alive). Healing Wind in a pinch = lifesaver. Otherwise, you can manage just fine with a healer that only has basic skills.

Nice! Would you say it’s worth leveling Aeris up or not?
