I think there was a challenge in FF6 where you could finish it at level 6, without reuniting the characters again after the "End of the World" part.

Sick.

Then I suppose my Collector's Edition guide is wrong. And how did you get the Treasure Hunter trophy without getting that piece of equipment that gives 1500HP at level 1?

Not really. I think it just shows that level isn't all that matters... Equipment and grinding for it are important too!

Hmm, you didn't specify who that question was directed to :P

If you're asking me, then I did get the Wurtzite Bangle, I just didn't level it up to star level, but I leveled it up enough for it to boost like 2400/2500 HP (I don't remember the exact number).

If you're asking akibafan, then I don't know :P He probably got it but he just forgot about it or something like that because there's no way to get the Treasure Hunter trophy without getting ALL accessories and ALL weapons :P Unless he found a bug in the game? xD

I think the attack power of that attack deppends on your characters' HP. If you have 3000 HP(your max HP), that attack won't do more than 3000 HP damage, just high enough to leave you with low health (maybe 2500-2900 damage). If you have 20.000HP max, it will probably do like 18.000-19.000 damage. Or at least that's what I noticed when I went back there to fight the final boss again after I had gotten the platinum trophy and my characters were maxed out. That attack  was doing like more than 15.000 damage to my characters... when the first time I went there it wouldn't be higher than 6000 because my characters had like 6500-8000 HP the first time :P

Yeah, Mericless Judgment is gravity based.

I don't remember any attack from the final boss being powerful enough to kill you under Mediguard.

The first time I fought him, he killed my leader with an instant death attack... It wasn't the Death magic though... just an attack that probably had a specific percentage to inflict death to my characters. Don't remember what it was called :S. But I think that attack and doom were the only ones that can kill you under Mediguard. I mean, if Merciless judgement can't kill you when you're not on low HP and NOT using Mediguard... what could possibly kill you if you ARE using Mediguard? :P

OMG the death magic was so unfair! I am certain the devs didn't realize the final boss could use death magic on your main character!

Lol :P They should know it since they programmed the game so that the Final Boss does that.

I remember I was about to equip one of those "death resistance 30%" accessories after that happened. But I was like "meh, whatever" and went back to the fight again without equipping it and survived xD

Oh, and when I got to the "real" final boss and started fighting him (trying not to spoil anyone :P) I was like "Oh, crap" after his first attack and when I started attacking him I was like "...What?"... tried with magic and I was like "O_o?", then tried with status ailments and I was like "Pheww, these seem to work" and then I realized that I had to stagger him xD. I didn't think it would be so easy to earn a 5 stars rank on that fight =P

It's called Prognetorial Wrath (sp?).

Anyway, considering you could retry from the beginning of the fight makes it not so bad. It missed twice when he casted it on me twice.

Necron and Zeromus were much bigger bastards. Necron using Grand Cross to cause any of the two dozen plus status ailments in the game (of which only like 5 or 6 can be guarded) and Zeromus dispelling every singe status on himself and the whole party and then using Big Bang which hurts a lot. Like a lot. Kills everyone half the time a lot.

Aaah, I always forget attack names :P the only way I remember them is when I fight the same enemy over and over again.

Yeah, it's not like other Final Fantasy games where you have to start all over again from the first form of the final boss if you lose in one of it's phases :P

I don't know about Zeromus because I haven't played that Final Fantasy (are you talking about IV?) But I don't remember Necron being hard, I think I beat him in my first try without much trouble. By the way, I felt Necron's appearance was kind of... random :P

EDIT: In fact, I don't remember any final boss in a Final Fantasy game (from the ones I've played) that's ever made me say "OMG, this final boss is so hard I'll never beat him :S".
