Congrats man! The real kicker with Ultimecia is how she randomly selects your party. The best tactic is to equally distribute your GFs and magic to every character so you're not stuck w/ an unbalenced group going against her. I casted Aura and Triple when she's in her ultimate form because Hell's Judgement can end your night pretty quickly. I casted Aura onto Squall and had my other members use Curaga x3 to keep my health up. Works like a charm but kudos to not even needing the Limit Breaks. As for the ending, I personally enjoyed it. The Rinoa/Squall sequence where he keeps replaying the scene from the SeeD ball screws with your mind a little bit, but it was well done IMO. They redeemed Squall perfectly and tied in the love story as best as they could've.
YES!!! I defeated Ultemcia or however u spell it with just attack and magic. That's right, no limit breaks, no rescrution just magic....gotta like triple ultima . As for the actual ending and the fmv before all the happy stuff.....what the crap? With Rinoa dying in space like that, it would give some ppl nightmares. Still, I beat it...and compared to Ultima Weapon it was actually pretty easy. Although props to you for helping me, you get an honorable mention!
He's always a joke. I never took him seriously as a boss, and I enjoyed whooping his ass whenever I could. So you're in the Lunatic Pandora then, right?
Seifer was a freaking joke, he was really easy. I just drawed Aura from him for like 5 rounds and then just physically attacked after a meltdown.
Good stuff...Keep it up man and you'll have the game beat in no time. Now the fun starts lol.
So I finally beated the guy....first time I did it, that light attack he has. 3 times in a row dead....could of put it in the WTF forum but I already posted. Second time around, got a little lucky, got mighty guard up. Used my last Aura on Squall and was able to get meltdown and Bahamaut off and then I took him down with physical attacks/resouken. Now it's off to take down Seifer and end this game once and for all
I second that statement lol. Let me know when you beat Ultima Weapon
I actually got the virus myself, not sure if it was because i helped my friend or reading things on the forum but it bit me and it spreads man lol. As for my fav character, squall hands down. Everyone says him but the character development for him imo is awesome and lionheart limit....epic!
Haha the Final Fantasy VIII virus, eh? lol. And yes it is. By far my favorite of the series. Who is your favorite character?
You're the 3rd person that wants to do that actually. I got Xantos and the new Odin guy wanted to play it too and it's a pretty sweet game
Oh man, you gotta beat it. I don't want to give anything away (unless you know everything that happens of course lol) but it gets pretty epic towards the end. It takes a couple of tries to get through it but I'm sure you'll beat it very soon. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask! P.S. I think I'm going to do another playthrough soon since we've been talking about it lately
I'll take your advice, I just really want to end the game, just for the sake of doing it. I've played it so many times but I've yet to defeat it
If you wanna really get rid of the Ruby Dragon, Quistis' Degenerator can do the trick as well. And yes, Auto-Haste is a great asset to have later on in the game.
WTC= What the Crap? And it's not that they're even that difficult, I've beaten them before. I just played for an hour and then everything was destroyed, I actually had Selphie as my healer but then I switched to Quistis who has mighty guard and then I just destroy everyone else, though I need to get auto haste for squall ASAP
Excuse my ignorance lol, but what does WTC mean? But yeah, the Ruby Dragons are a pain in the ass for sure. What I did was use a party of Selphie, Zell & Squall and I had Selphie as the healer, junctioned Auto-Haste to Squall and my strength was 200+ due to acquiring very good magic prior in the game. Try switching up your strategy up a bit and I'm sure you'll beat them in due time.
