Both the summoner and Ultima must be in critical status to trigger her "deathblow" / final attack. Not really worth it, because it maxes at 9999.

ah ah... I don't know about your game, but in mine she would always hit at 9999 with her normal strike. So yeah, her "deathblow" is pretty useless.

Yes, that's right, none of her attacks, including her special one / "deathblow" do more than 9999, so there's no point bothering with it.

So sad, actually, that the Espers in FFXII are almost useless when you compare them to past titles (heck, I think I mostly used them out of boredom to see how neat their final attacks are). The same could be said about the Quickenings. All very well done (I can't seem to get tired of watching Vaan's Pyroclasm), but when you see how your characters can do even more damage much faster using their regular attacks, and seeing how using these quickenings uses most of your MPs, I think it is much better to use regular attacks then relying on these, which seem to be there only for eye-candy sake.

Zodiarks is pretty ok, once the summoner becomes petrified she uses her final attack which deals around 50-60 thousand dmg. Its pretty easy really, you just equip the summoner with the nihopoloa (not sure of the spelling) and then use a golden needle on yourself. But in my opinion you could still do more damage with normal attacks and using less mp.

I thought the overall design of the espers kind of sucked. I really couldn't tell one apart from the other (although, having never really summoned them for anything didn't help either.) They seemed to be overloaded with intricate patterned skins, weird, useless frilly hook-things, and most lacked faces, even.
I really only used Belias for my 122333 game.

Quickenings are good for the 122333 game, too. Besides, I like watching Basch, kicking ass up-close and personal. Mmmmm....

1,2,2,3,3,3 are the levels you receive the various party members, i think, so then you have to beat the game using these levels.

Yeah, I figured that out from Goonkilla's post, but thanks.

It's a waste of your freakin' time to bother playing a 122333 game, though.

i tried, it is really just too tough and a waste of time, this challenge is intended for losers who do nothing but play games.

Actually, once you get 3 fohmalhauts, it's incredibly easy. Boring-easy, even.

No thank you! I beat Yiazmat at lv 85, and that was hard enough! 122333 I've read that Yiazmat can be done, but it takes like 9 hours, and you have to sit there with the game the whole time (no rubber-banded controllers) because your characters will repeatedly die and need to be revived/repositioned. Guh.
