first and foremost..congrats to shadowheart...you got far more ahead than i have!
i use holy wars though and it takes 6-7 rounds..whith zells Armageddon Fist Duel.
the only time i managed to beat him without them was a fight of 25 rounds with many-many-many-many phoinex flames and Megalixirs,and Duels and deaths and "Oh My God i'm gonna die!!!!" and Gf killing etc etc etc..got me though!the bastard used medigo and meteor at the same round and knocked me out
About the terra break now-yes protect cuts off hafh the dam so from 4900 goes to 2000-2500 dam.plus some decent >240 Vit and Spr ya should be able to get 2000 tops dam(meaning that min is 1500)..Are you lucky?Cast "The End"from selfie's Slot 'break and see omega going down one hit kill!
Though still all of you ppl clayming perfection over the game have found out nothing comparing to what i am about to tell you!
But before i start showing off i would like to ask for your conviniense becasue it has been a while since i ve last played the game
Now shadow said that a new built up is possible with the xxxx-up abilities..TRUE!
The back up of this method is that you really have to go through a lot to achieve it.
I did it and i managed to reach lvl 25 on all 3 basic chars(Qui-Squ-Zel)-the lowest i could..(lvl 10 must be THE achievement-dont worry Shadow i will make it lvl9!)
The other way..(showing off part
)...is the so called "Steal the mesmerize and Refine their blades"....ok stupid title but that's the way it is.Mug a mesmerize,learn Familiar and Gamble(Tonberry)and then refine the blades through #item medicine refine# which is exactly the ability and i dont remember the code name and the GF which provides it.and the big question?what is the refine? mega-potions i think...sell them all! now this is the "Gimme the money" part!you gonna need all the money you can get your greedy hands on!Now the sleazy part!Get 10 scrolls of the stat you wanna raise from a pet shop.Refine them to the #Stat-raise!#...raise the stat you need.easy!now you can get more money through another way? i doubt it but possible.
let me know if you do...wait NO dont let me know i wanna find out myself!yeah better that way..
By the way if you wanna built my way you should be warned that the major problem is time!you gonna need at least 12 hours of gaming a day to get one char to maximum of one stat within a week!truly...i calculated 4 years ago when i was STILL the proud owner of the game...and the game was still in one piece!(little sisters are worse than a tsunami...caused by Levy lvl 99 on a cactuar!believe me ... it hurt more)
