FP caffeine is definately the secret. Though hopefully Khavi will let me in on the method of taking. I've still got three coffee beans lodged in my nose.
Gem, that battle was a toughy for me to. I must have tried it about a thousand times. Eventually it all just came down to luck.... umm.. oh yeah and having all of my Summons on limits. I just used each one against the guy, even though he killed each off after I got him, but each time I was doing a good deal of damage.
Then it was just a case of using the little thief-girly to throw everything in my inventory at him, including the kitchen sink!
I'm still stuck fighting whats-her-name in Zanarkand. I just can't kill her. I have FX-2 though and I'm kinda playing through that and occasionally going back to the first to try again.
Oh yeah.... and on Anime, FINAL FANTASY : ADVENT CHILDREN!!!! It's gonna be awesome! Even if it's simply because it's based on my fav. of all the ff's.
Anyways...... *runs off to think up a suitable response to another of Khavi's excellent posts*
I just can't keep up with the standard!

Just imagine there's something witty here for now. I'll get back to you later.
