I've got a question, I don't know if it's been asked yet (really haven't got time to read through 10 pages), so if it has, and someone knows it, just feel free to re-post it

The issue is, I started a new game, using the Expert Sphere Grid, with the aim of beating Penance (and thus all Dark Aeons) and Nemesis (and thus all Original Fiends). I've just beat Dark Valefor and Dark Ifrit (and got two armours with Break HP, Ribbon and two empty slots ), but only just heard that the Expert Grid has around 50 fewer slots than the Standard Grid. Putting this into statisitical perpective; that's equivalent to 50 X 300 = 15,000 HP.

So my question is: is it possible to beat Penance/Nemesis/everything hard with the Expert Grid?. If you answer this, can you also VM me to let me know. Thanks in advance!
