don't know if there is already a topic on this, if there is you could give the link ;)

anyway, my question is, do you think breaking the damage limit from 9.999 HP damage was a bad idea ?? I think so, it gives you over the top battles, and takes the fun out of it because your enemies have so much HP, it just comes down to having a super strong attack, in the old games it was so much more then that because you and your enemy couldn't do more then 9.999 HP damage, that was better

I must admit it looks really cool to see the big numbers, Shiva just hit an enemy 89.000 HP damage :shock:

so what do you think, was it a bad idea ?? or did you actually like it ??

Uhhh... well... it's more fun than just 9999 damage. It's not really bad at all.

I hate it. The enemies pop out doing 15000 damage. I pop out doing 99,999 damage (that is more hp than the final boss at FF9 btw) and then the ENEMIES still dont die. What the fck?!

Of course I was like...hahahha I Do amazing amounts of damage but it doesnt matter because its the same thing just scaled up hahaha.

Yeah, I noticed that too, no matter how much you hit an enemy for, if it counters, it will always hit for around the 15,000 mark for a weaker enemy. It got really annoying cause, I had to have Auto-Phoenix on at all times!

Poor Sin, I defeated him in one round, Wakka about 7.000 HP damage, Lulu double cast Ultima, 40.000 HP damage and Yuna summoned Anima 95.000 HP damage, that's what I'm talking about, that is what makes the game boring

I like it.

Just seeing Anima's Oblivion do 125,000 damage is almost orgasmic :) as is Tidus doing 30,000 on regular attack with full HP, and likewise with Auron, on a lower HP.

Yeah, and besides, your characters need to have at least 20,000 HP and stats of lke 90 and above if you want to fight the Dark Aeons/Penance anyways, so to do everything in the game, you need to break both limits.

Anima's Oblivion do 125,000 damage

Sorry but unless you hacked the game, the highest it will go is 99,999

My Tidus does 99,999 which is sickening because I did all the break limit stuff before i fought the last boss.


Jetcht has about 70,000 hp i think and yu yevon has around the same so 1 hit kills on the last boss cheapens the experience.

Still, Bahamut should naturaly be that powerful by then even without uber amounts of leveling up. So no matter how you look at it, it was a bad idea.

Er...No, its does 125,000 damage.

yeah, that's what I mean

Well you must have another version of the game than me because Anima's and all my other Aeons' overdrives do 99,999.

Yeah, that must be it. If I had a Camera I'd taka a photo, He kills Braskas Final Aeon Version 2 in one shot.

PAL/International Oblivion is 16 hits. Set aeon animation to short and the damage will be condensed into the final hit, meaning you can see a maximum of 1,599,984 damage.

Is that the only attack that is condensed?

Spot on.

Yes.

There we go :)

I though one of the Magus sisters can do 15-16 hits in one move. The smallest one I think.

Mindy's Passodo isn't an overdrive so it's not shortened. But even if it was an overdrive it's so short you can't really shorten it any more.

Oh, I gotcha.

break damage limit wasnt that bad i liked seeing my Tidus and Auron doing 99,999 with hastega it owned

if you can do more damage i say its good

Well, BDL makes the game very easy, Braska's final aeon could be done in just 3 hits!
BUT in the other hand you got Dark Aeons, Nemises and Penance to worry about! So I reckon BDL has its advantages and disadvantages.

Dark aeons... *shake-quiver-vomit* so cold...

Dark aeons... *shake-quiver-vomit* so cold...

Which Dark Aeons did you beat?

Valefor and Anima so far, the latter thanks to Yojimbo and the former my good friend, Autolife... My characters are only just into three digits... Tidus/Wakka/Auron. And yourself??

I suggest you do Ifrit, because he is pretty easy compared with the rest!

I finished them all including penance, and it took me about 250 hours to complete!

p.s. My favourite 3 are Rikku / Tidus / Wakka

I tried Ifrit, but turned off my game. I calculated that the battle was going to take over 2 hours and decided id level up, breed ultimate buster for dark matter, and give Tidus BDL, cos only Auron has his celestial weapon atm... because I hate blitzball, and would feel dirty to gain caladbolg by doing some ridiculous chocobo crap.

no way its a good idea... anyways you can fight monster lik nemesis and other monster creations and they are still hard uless u get overdrives on everyone....

@ First I thought BDL was good, but now I'm starting to not like it as much...

And what are Dark Aeons? That's not in the US version right?

I think it's alright with BDL.

I think you
're right it is only in the other version. or at least some of 'em.

look for an easrlier thread. I know there have been some of them.

Break Damage Limit is awesome.

It's nice to see that digits are expendable, as in..it goes past the absurdly common 9999 limit. Does it really hurt to add an extra digit? =S

Having over 9999 HP was cool, too.

break dmaage is great insted of doing 9999 damage you can do more than 10000

Really???? I never would have guessed that! Thanks for filling us all in, Captain Obvious!

And what are Dark Aeons? That's not in the US version right?

Here are the locations of the Dark Aeons

Valefor: Besaid Village
Ifrit: Bikanel island
Ixion: Talk to a soldier on the Thunder Plains
Shiva: Macalania temple
Bahamut: Zanakand, Where you fight Yunalesca
Yojimbo: Cavern of the stolen fayth (you have to beat him 5 times!!!!)
Anima: Mt Gagazet, Complete wakka's ball chalenge in the caves for a second time after beating Yunalesca
Magus Sisters: Mushroom rock Road. Just as you enter from the Mihen highroad

Penace: Beat all other dark aeons. he will appear as a location on the airship. Go up on deck of airship where you fought Evrae.

There is an enemy in this game that has 10,000,000 HP and you're telling me that more damage is a bad thing?

I think you forgot your meds this morning.

yes but then if there was less damage then the enemies would be weaker in terms of HP!!!!

So yeah, insted of 1,000,000 HP and 9,999 DMG we have 10,000,000 HP and 99,999 DMG.

Bigger = Better

Its not, by the time you can the monsters are to hard to beat without it. The game was made with the intent of you using the break.

people people!
lets not forget wakka's attack reels.
Before any boss battle, especial the battle arena creations, get wakkas limit break up. or overdrive, whatever, limit break was cooler.
using attack reels, you can rack up around 1.2 mil damage easily. Just be sure not to use aurochs/elemental/status reels. Attack reels are the ones that do multi hits. its 12 if i remember correctly and it works a gem.

I'm entirely in favour of break damage limit

the damage is proportional.

10,000,000hp/99,999 damage = 1,000,000hp/9,999 damage.

if they make a FF game where the strongest monster had 1,000hp, and the most that you could do was 9 damage, it would be the same thing.

How is it a bad idea? Really?

How is it a bad idea? Really?

Well, i really don't have a problem with it, but some feel that it is a little bit of an excess. Its like i said earlier, it's proportional; the same thing as any other FF game, but scaled up. If Emerald Weapon had 10 million hp instead of 1 million hp, then the characters would have to do 100,000 damage for it to be equal. Some may see this as a hollow attempt to make the game more interesting, but all in all, it's just a matter of opinion.

i personally enjoy seeing insanely huge numbers flash across the screen whenever i deal a blow. it shows how hard i worked for my character to be able to do such damage.

Ok now how do you get it?

BDL AND BHL IS COMPLETE USELESS IF U ARE NOT PLAYING INTERNATIONAL VERSION OF FFX AND THE ULTIMA WEAPON ALSO COMPLETE USELESS BECAUSE THE BOSS CANJUST KO IN ONE HIT

Why is it worthless if you're not playing the International version?
