Re: yay!!
gasp in awe at my party selection: cloud, yuffie and cait sith. (didnt get 3 kittens on the slot machine though ) i lost against emerald the 1st time i seriously tried, but after beating ruby, KOR and phoenix leveled up, but phoenix never got a chance to shine...everyone was in there 70s, with near max mp...
for ruby, i put every thing on cloud, and luckily he didnt get quicksanded. at the beginning, i used quadra w summon bahamut zero two times. (BZ to irritate it and make it bury its tentacles. id be annoyed if i got hit 8 times with a long summon animation and didnt get hurt at all
^^. i also turned the volume down to "shorten" the summons . kinda a psychological thing, like, "a watched pot never boils". i even went to get a pepsi while 8 BZs fired off in a row...lol)
anyway, after kitten sith and yuffie got sanded, cloud cast KOR twice, once at the tentacles, and once at ruby. (also, cloud had magic plus for more damage. and, i had counter mime. nyuk, nyuk, nyuk...counter mime rocks!

) KOR was only at level 1, but its still used twice with mime. ruby got stuck between unburying its hands and dealing with two KORs... and the occasional counter ultima, which only hit successfully once. (mystile) then, bury, unbury, ultima, and a few more mimes and he died. i never got to use phoenix...
emerald: i w summoned BZ 4 times and a KOR. the others used megalixirs and status helpers (haste, big guard, etc.) counter mime really helped, i got twice the KORs i shouldve ^^ . after i had a chance, i w summoned two KORs, and he only used Aire Tam once, but since cloud only had 7 materia on him, he only took 7777 damage. i wanted to have phoenix come, and revive yuffie and CT, but my limit bar filled up, and i wanted to use omnislash, but
that killed it, and although it brought a cinematic ending to it, Y and CT didnt get AP (Y had KOR and w summon w/ BZ. CT healed.) oh well.
and thats how i killed those horrific monstrosities that gave me nightmares of being slaughtered brutally.
i dont want to sound like a snob, but i really didnt have a hard time with them. i guess after training n all, (and w item cloning

) they were easier

i also beat omega weapon in ff 8, it used one terra break before he died..i had auto duel on, thats why "armageddon fist" didnt work...
maybe someday ill make and rpg where characters max hp is 99,999 and max mp is 9,999, and the final boss has 3,000,000 hp
so, all in all , i was a tad dissapointed with the weapons...even though that makes me sound kinda snobby..sorry! ^^; and thats my long weapon explanation...only one try for ruby and two for emerald. (i tried E first, and KOR wasnt leveled up enough.)
go me ! now to play snes rpgs again...
