I just don't understand why you only used Squall to fight the entire battle.
With Zell and Rinoa having such strong limit breaks as well I found it kinda silly.


=/ You might as well have killed off Rinoa and Zell and when at it like that.

Fuck off Omega!

Nicely done, and without hero drinks too. I was waiting to see how you would avoid terra break. Good job.

I remember beating that, its such a queer.


*edit*
I just saw that 46 minutes thing. Either nice gamesharking or wtf

Whatever pride I had in defeating Omega Weapon was just thrown out the window.

I can't watch youtube on my computer, so I didn't get to see your video, but I have beaten the Omega Weapon.

This just reminded me of how much i hated Omega

I tried to face him at lvl. 100 without using my gameshark. It was hilarious. I lost miserably.

He's not terribly difficult. =/

He's not terribly difficult. =/

Well, the creatures level up as Squall does, so he is fairly difficult at level 100 without very good magic junctioned. If you hardly level up at all throughout the game and you have great magic junctioned, Omega is a piece of cake.

But why would you not level up and have good magic junctioned? In fact, I would think it'd be kinda hard to avoid leveling up considering the course of the game. Why not have good magic junctioned in the first place?

But why would you not level up and have good magic junctioned? In fact, I would think it'd be kinda hard to avoid leveling up considering the course of the game. Why not have good magic junctioned in the first place?

I don't level up anymore, because the creatures level up with me, and all I need is really good magic in order to have the same stats that I would have if I spent forever actually leveling up when I can just get the magic in a couple of hours at the heven and hell islands. You can avoid leveling up if you have Diablos's ability called Enc-None. You will only have to verse bosses. Or you can use the Card ability on most creatures. You receive AP and no exp. The highest you absolutely should train to is about 20. And...as for the not having good magic junctioned, I didn't have the patience to find Ultima and what-not because I hadn't yet discovered the heaven and hell islands (or the gameshark.)

I thought there was an Ultima draw point outside of the Shumi village?


Ah, I never used Diablo's ability.
Either way, Omega shouldn't be that much of a trial if you manuver the battle correctly.

You have to pay a ton of gil to use the Ultima drawpoint outside of Shumi Village, and even if you do pay, it usually gives one or two Ultimas. Diablos has a few really good abilities. Other than that, he's useless until the end of the game.

True.

Remember, the amount of high level magic you draw is dependent on your magic stat. So, a good idea is to junction your character with as many magic buffs as possible (mag+20%, mag+40%, mag+60%) and the best possible magic that junctions with the magic stat. This way, you can draw more high-level magic, like Ultima.

Also, I usually don't have trouble with gil because I use this handy little refination process.

Buy 100 Tents (or as many as you can)
Use Recovery Med-Ref to make 25 Megapotions
Sell the Megapotions

Without Tonberry's nice shop abilities, you still net 1000 for every set of 4 tents you buy.

4 tents = 4000 gil (buy price)
4 tents = 1 megapotion
1 megapotion = 5000 gil (sale price)

So, for every 100 tents you buy, refine, and sell, you get a net of 25000.
With Tonberry's shop abilities, you get even more.

Mesmerize Blades are a nice source of tents as well (1 blade = 20 tents I think) You can go mug a few and/or card a few mesmerizes. Then you can make tons of moolah with little effort.

Also, for a no-level up game, does Devour have similar effects of Card? Where you get no exp. but still get AP? I've heard about it somewhere, but I need confirmation.

And, a no-level up game results in less game time. Carding allows battles to become much quicker because carding only requires a percentage of the monster's health to be depleted.

So basically, my battles go somewhat like this.

Quistis goes into battle with about 500/4000 hp.
Spam O button until I get limit.
Use MicroMissiles once on each enemy.
Use another character to card.

The monsters usually do a maximum of 20 some damage, so I don't have to worry too much about having to heal my chars. Especially if my other characters have 4000-6000 hp.

But, back on Topic, I've heard that the Defend command is handy when countering Terra Break.

Sounds interesting. I'll have to try that.

I'll have to try that too.

Yea, terra break is considered a physical attack I think. So you could just have Squall defend at the right moment if you could figure out what pattern Omega Weapon attacks in. (there is a pattern)

Quistis's MicroMissiles are a lifesaver for No-level up games. :)

selphie's (i think this is what it's called) full-cure works wonders too.

I done did it.

Do I win a prize?

You get cake.

you get applause *claps hands* and a cookie! >>>> O <<<<< There's your cookie.

I'm not making a Portal reference.

Don't dream it.

Here's an interesting trivia.

Without the use of invincibility, how can a character be rendered completely invulnerable to physical damage, magical damage, and negative status effects?

WHy are you trying to give away cookie? >:O You some kinda slave owner?!

You get a raise.

Note that he did not TECHNICALLY do what I asked, but he gave me the two modes that are by far more important. He's quite the strategist.

Tor, u sux, though :p

Omega is laughably easy.

Ozma on the other hand....

I can't believe you are even discussing Omega... I mean, the whole game is just so easy. Not that I'm braging or something, but it's even boring. ffVIII is one of my first and most favorite games, but I realiezed a long time ago that they screwd up. Unfortunatley, there is no boss in this game that can give you any thrill at all...

thats pretty much what i said.

sorry...

Absolutely unacceptable!

Surf Laguna? Is that what your ava means?

We've been wondering in chat.

Two of my interests, there is no "hidden meaning". Want me to switch it up so it's Laguna Surf?

No...

It's your ava :p

Haha, alright then. I may have to show up in chat every once in a while to get the low down on things here, I had no idea I was being talked about.

Here's an interesting trivia.

By being KO'd? KO'd characters don't even get a "miss" message when there's an attack, even if it hits everybody.

Otherwise, I'd have to say that if a character's attacked while summoning a GF, the GF takes the damage and not the character. I don't know if that affects negative stati, though. Eden and Diablos were the only two GF's I ever bothered summoning with anything remotely resembling regularity (nice alliteration on my part, btw).

WHy are you trying to give away cookie? >:O You some kinda slave owner?!

hahha. No I'm not some kinda slave owner.

I`m defeat Omega a few years ago, i`m gonna share it here...

Btw here is the situation:(Without any cheats of course^^)
1. I`m use Squall, Irvine and Zell(Since their limit breaks is suitable to my style)
2. I`m cast Triple in the early of battle to Zell
3. Cast Aura On Squall
4. Cast Aura On Irvine
5. Zell cast meltdown, Haste to Squal & Irvine (Since he can magic 3 times)
6. Btw all of my character is fully junctioned (Thanks to Rosetta Stone)
7. I`m begin to attack that creature (hya.....)
8. Omega hit my characters badly..Zell & Irvine Ko`d -_- ( I don`t reveive)
9. Squall on the low HP
10. I use Hero on Squall ( Thanks to his father card > Laguna)
11. I keep the pattern Hero & Limit Breaks until Omega defeated (Squall Only)
12. I earn the "Strongest Fighter Title" in my Menu (hahaha^^)

So when I see The Kratos video, i think it`s a good battle ( Although I`m not agree too for not using Zell & Rinoa to Attack...)

Uh...cool?

I prefer to use Zell & Rinoa as healers & Squall as the attacker.

Almost. But, petrification is the answer.
Of course, one could cast esuna or soft on the petrified character and then attack him/her. But, since when was the AI in FFVIII that intelligent?

????.. At this thread

OMFG COOKIE MGS IS THE SHIT!

Mommy, someone got VIII in my Power Rangers.

GET IT OUT >:- (

Except that Petrify is a negative status effect in and of itself. ;)

Haha, I never said that it was useful. (Though I'm sure some use could be made of that information). However, I thought it was interesting.

Here's another interesting fact.
When a character is put under a status effect. The player can effectively lower the time it takes for the status to fade (if the status is removable with passage of time) by casting haste on the afflicted character.

This can be useful for enemies as well. You can put sleep on a monster and cast slow on it as well. Now the monster will sleep for a longer duration.

I wonder, why do you know this...

Trolling is not appreciated at the forums.

trolling? explain the term please.

Google It.

HEY SWAMI :p

I thought you were calling me a Troll, man.

You were just in chat and I apologized ;_;;

Ok I looked into it... I'm sorry if I'we offended you. It was meant to be a joke.
I really didn't mean any harm.

Oh, I thought Knegative in chat was yanneilucia.

Sorry for that misunderstanding. I'm quite new here, so I'm not too familiar with all of the users.

And, to answer your original question, yanneilucia, I know these little things because I once stumbled across an interesting thread in a gamespot forum.
Basically, one of the users there translated the Japanese-only Ultimania guide and was posting his finds in the thread.

HEY SWAMI :p

WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE SHENANIGANS?!

Nah It's ok, but I thought it was weird that you got upset by something like that... anyway, It was a joke directed at myself, because I usually find all of that kind of stuff just by ''over-playing'' every game.

ZOMFG NOW WAYS!! THATS AWESOME
