Squall, Zell, and irvine on same team

you know how hard is to get zell and irvine doing 9999 a hit, eventhough zell doens't need to do that to armageddon fist every boss out of the water, irvine does. squall is the easiest to reach 255 attack and speed so he is the most applaible in terms of combat. and for party memebers i prefer squall(lionheart) rinoa(angel wing meteor) and selphie(just because i like her)

Problem with LH is, that is not guaranteed. I clearly remember, when I battle with ultimate boss (I don´t want spoil) a used Renzo eight times. NO LH. On the other hand, AF from Zell is practically given, you don´t need anything, only quick fingers. Same with Irvine, Quick Shot is... quick.

255 strenght for anyone isn´t problem, characters aren´t that different. With some luck for criticals and you have really big damage for these two.

I´m a type of player, which cannot only sit and watch. From this reason, I nearly never used GF. Too long animation. "Normal" GF are sometimes bearable, but Eden... no, I will not summon Eden again, never!! 50k (or something like this) isn´t that much and you do it for shorter time with chars only.

Rinoa's Angel Wing can beat Squal's Lionheart but you must set her up to only cast the meteor/comet spell (I forget which it is).  Max her speed/magic attack using magic that Angel Heart won't cast and sit back for some fireworks.

I don't remember this, either.

I guess I need to replay the game.

I think the problem started when you began replaying FF8.... why would you do that? ;)

Because the OP isn't into complaining about games he never played, unlike some people.

Oh wow, I just looked that up on youtube and it's hilarous. The player starts the battle with the characters nearly dead, casts Angel Wing, and makes the other two party members KO themselves. The best, and funniest, part is that Rinoa cast the spells so quickly that it took until the last form of Ultimecia (and even most of the way through that section) for that little angel thing to come in to remove just one of the KO'd party members.

Hey are you taking a shot at me? Besides the playstation version I also have the PC version... and the special dance-scene disc.. The only thing I liked about FF8 was Chocobo World.. too bad my Pocketstation died....

no, angel wing meteor hits for a random times up to 8 times and is way harder to make rinoa do 9999, specially when the only junction magic is meteor(otherwise is not guaranteed to cast it every turn)
