Hey there Stevie, great to see you around.
Yell and Accumulate are your best friends.
This.
Did you save before the fight so that you can't return? I did that and was forced to do the Squire strategy. I didn't have Yell but I had Tailwind so I just kept using Tailwind until I was outrunning him by about 4-5 turns. It takes longer but it's the easiest way of beating him.
Reading the last few Final Fantasy threads in the gaming forum is making me sad. Not because I diagree with what is said in them. This got me thinking that the idea with Final Fantasy Dimensions was an interesting idea. I don't think the execution and price plan were ideal, but it was still something I'd like to see more of: 2D based old school Final Fantasy games. The thing is that I'd love to see something like that with 16 bit graphics for XBLA/PSN/VC/PC/Phones. Don't charge for different chapters, just offer a good, solid 20-40 hour game that we can enjoy without the hassle of in-game purchases and other annoying things. A game like that shouldn't require a big team, and if you're going to make smaller games, why not give this a try?
Would people even be interested in something like this or is this just me being nostalgic?

Of course people would be interested, SE won't do it though cause it'd make less money.
This is not as inexpensive and low labor as you're making it sound. They already spend an eternity getting their mobile games released on Android, let alone platforms that require much more in-depth certification, QA and changes in how the game is coded.

So Stay out of his Range and Tailwind til I'm fast enough to Kill him in 4-5 turns.
I don't have Yell or Accumulate yet, when do those get unlocked?
I actually made a mistake. Yell and Tailwind are the same thing, just different names depending on the version you're playing. If you're playing the PSP version, the two moves you'll need are Tailwind and Focus. So yes, just Tailwind a ton until you're moving 4-5 turns above him and then start using Focus to power up.
I always use Zidane, Dagger, Vivi, Steiner. Always. Even when I say I'm definitely using other characters, I don't. Main reason being most of the other characters are horribly behind in levels when they rejoin (iirc) and they all require some additional work to be as usable as the other 3 (minus Dagger). Eiko is better than Dagger, really, but I just prefer Dagger myself.
yoooo all, finally got my account approved, how you all doing
Welcome, and btw, amazing taste.

This is a great album. Can't get enough of Memory of the Wind ~Legend of the Eternal Wind~ from FFIII.

One of these times, I will use Dagger. So far I have yet to use her fully in the game. Eiko is better and Vivi has the elemental damage covered so most of her summons are sort of useless (Don't feel like watching a full animation Ark all day) but I should try using her and Quina more often. I figure I'll be using Quina a bit anyway so I can exploit her Blue magic for some power leveling!

Sigh I'd be willing to drop my backlog a bit if only FF9 would go on sale on US PSN =/
Thanks, so just play defensive and take my time til I'm strong enought to defeat him.

Welcome!
I'm looking forward to Lightning Returns too. I've been avoiding all video and information about it. I trust them to give me something great as they did with FFXIII and FFXIII-2.
For FFXIV, you can use credit card or PayPal (through UltimatePay) or ClickandBuy.
I doubt we will see cards/vouchers in store for crysta/game time. There never were any for FFXI. But maybe FFXIV re-launch will be successful enough for it.
Yup! Time consuming but the most efficient way of beating him. I think it's the only place that you can get trapped if you save so it's totally worth the patience.
There will be a couple times where he will hit you but auto-potion will take care of that and then just use your next couple turns avoiding him and Tailwinding. If he get's close just make sure your HP is up enough to avoid a one-hit KO.
Cool, thanks. I will play the PS3 version. Hopefully the online isn't region locked like White Knight Chronicles 2.
Some alternative strats:
Use Monk and Repeating Fist. Since the damage is random, you may get lucky and take him out with one shot.
Dragoon - Hard to pull off the timing, but you can avoid his strikes a bit easier.
Or just cheese the autopotion system with your idea of only hipotions. A Ninja can then beat him within 3 rounds.

So do I.
It's a crime that there isn't a live orchestral arrangement of Antipyretic in existence.
C'mon Square, that game was popular. It's not like it sold like Vagrant Story.

Type 0 Concert would be cool. What Becomes of Us live would be a great thing to hear. Don't know what else they could give us for that though. "Standing Up" was another good one.
However I think Square only holds concert events for what they deem mainline titles.
But yeah I'd like to see Tactics get that treatment. Preferably Antipyretic, Trisection, and the Opening Theme.
One of the L'cie of Orience's past directly alludes to the Zodiac Brave Story as a reference where this L'cie raises 4 warriors to take on a demonic entity who had swayed the leader of their nation, directly mirroring the ZB Story in that regard.
So I've been playing FF4 TAY a lot lately, and I have the Debug Ring, Akiyama Armor, and the Tokita Sword, and I was wondering: Are there other similar items in other FF games? Debug equipment that is allpowerful?
Because at level 40, using Focus, Yang dealt almost 20k with all three equipped.*
*In TAY the Limit Band allows you to exceed 9999 damage, just as the Limit ability in 4DS does. The Debug Ring possesses the abilities of all the Tail Rings.

I don't think there is. Really depends on the game for the OP equips.

Shame they couldn't put that effort into making a decent game with those kind of sprites. They do look pretty sweet!

wtf, use that spritework in another game!
Dammit, Square. Priorities. >:|
The only thing that bugs me a little about the Safer Sephiroth sprite is the pixel for his eye. It really stands out and it's kind of clashy. But I guess it's hard to add whites around the iris with the proportions.

The localization work:
Orphan: This lonely deity has the most amazing three-way conversations in all of Cocoon.
Thanatos: This knight decapitated himself so his headless horse wouldn't feel self-conscious.
Armour Construct: This metallic monstrosity is extremely difficult to destroy. Why even bother? Move on.
Sahagin: These fishmen have a timeless turf war with rival imps over prime waterside real estate.
Flan Princess: Not all princesses look pretty in pink.
Cagnazzo: It is not known exactly why the Archfiend of Water insists on walking on all fours.
Magna Roader: These unlikely creatures love going off sweet jumps. Vrooom vrooom vroooooom!!!
Black Knight: These knights are cursed to think but a single thought for all time--none shall pass.
Ninja: Ninja don't sleep. They wait. Ninja don't dodge bullets. Bullets dodge ninja. And so on.
Gaelicat: I, for one, welcome our new flying cat overlords.
Magic Pot: What if... What if all that these pots ever truly wanted...was a nice warm hug?
Great Malboro: "Great" here refers primarily to the rancidity of the creature's breath. We're talking halitosis.
Edit: Safer Sephiroth: Though able to command supernovas, this guy can't even spell his own name. (fucking lol)
...Square... This is the kind of stuff I want in a game. Like, in terms of NPC dialogue and stuff.

A twisted relationship Squeenix has with it's fans. Why do we put up with it?
The character profiles are pretty great too.
Squall:
This mercenary of Balamb Garden's SeeD loses his usual cool when playing cards.
Cloud:
This self-styled SOLDIER member packs a huge sword and sports a chocobo hairdo.
Yuna
Beyond having a father who saved the world, this girls also blows a mean whistle.
Yuna's is my favourite.

I think Square hates it's own fanbase.
The funny thing is that the fanbase is probably loyal enough for them to get away with it.

They do. If you think any of the stuff they they've done to the FF series is bad, it's nothing compared to what they've done and have been doing for years on FFXI.
