That video looks kind of rigged if you asked me...even though I beat Omega Weapon in FF8 with a whole bunch of those..oh what are they called? The item that turns you invisible so you cant be hurt...(its been forever sense I did it) But, anyway that is not the case, the case is that some games are harder to those then others, simple as that.

Someone seems to have forgotten how broken 7777 fever and the materia system is. Lets not pretend that any part of FF7 was a challenge.

The 7777 generally weakened my attacks.

Ruby wasn't that hard even without KoTR. The only nasty thing about him is his randomly sucking away party members.

Sure you had to prep for it, but still, it wasn't that hard to beat him.

[Shoope]

Speaking of FF7 though, how do you beat that ball thing that lives in the Canyon in the forrest? (it might be FF9 or something I am thinking of though.) Also, are they planning on coming out with any other FF games for the DS?

Sure if you consider a working knowledge of math 'rigged'.

I was going to post that one.

The fight may have taken 7 seconds but it takes days to kill enough mobs to do that. Like the video says, you have to use Death Penalty and kill 63,000+ mobs with the move to make it that strong.

[Malacite]

What materia attack was it? Or does vincent just personally need to rack up kills?

[Tickmeoff]

It's a normal attack. Vincent's Death Penalty gets stronger from killing enemies. After a certain number (65535 or thereabouts) it does enormous amounts of damage.

Where did I say it was "easy"?

I said it was "lol", as in a silly event happened. Everyone died, except Kain solo'd (well not really solo'd, there was about 15000 dmg done before the wipe, and he was hasted thanks to Rosa) it through a jump "exploit".


Anyway, name one other strategy I could have used BESIDES grinding some more.

Assuming you have the right Augments (Chiefly Omnicasting for Rosa) there's no reason you should be getting owned. Haste everyone and just spam shuriken and do nothing else (save maybe cast Bahamut and a quick use of Cry at the start)

Edge should be doing at least 9k dmg per Fuma. You should try to steal a Dark Matter too so you can fight one of the hidden bosses.


And the reason I say not to have anyone else do anything (save cures and the debuffs) is the old ATB system is flawed; Even with a hasted party spaming actions enemies will still keep pace and so you're essentially wasting dmg opportunities by having everyone act.

Or put it another way, with Haste Edge should be able to get in at least 2 if not 3 throws between each of Zeromus' attacks.

Damage was not an issue.

It was the surviving 5-6k dmg AOE when my chars had 2-4k HP.

And I did have everyone hasted, protected, and shelled, but he likes to spam his dispel-ga like ability.

[Malacite]

Bad Luck then? Zeromus got in like, 1 hit on me. Onicasting and Dual Cast are your friends.
