When I was a kid I just cheesed the last fight with Knights of the Round and Mimic.

getting knights of the round took longer than just beating the final boss legitimately

I got about 10 hours into FF15 and its the worst POS I've played and the combat is horrid. And I got to Gran Pulse in FF13.

According to the :spergin:

FF wiki

For every character at Level 99, 30,000 HP, 2 Attack, 20 Defense, 5 Magic Attack, and 16 Magic Defense are added to Safer∙Sephiroth's stats.
If Knights of the Round was cast on Jenova∙SYNTHESIS, Safer∙Sephiroth receives an extra 80,000 maximum HP.
For every time Bizarro∙Sephiroth's head was killed during the previous fight, Safer∙Sephiroth's maximum HP is reduced by 100, up to a maximum reduction of 24,900 HP.
Considering all these, Safer∙Sephiroth's maximum stats (bracketed in the table) are:

400,000 maximum HP, 246 Attack, 260 Defense, 140 Magic Power, and 308 Magic Defense.
Safer∙Sephiroth's attacks follow an eight turn cycle, allowing the player to predict his next attack and prepare accordingly.

I always thought of him as lean but well muscled. He's also infused with magic so I never thought it was weird he could swing the buster sword

that's hosed up, why even do that? breeding the loving golden chocobo to get knights of the round was a royal pain the in rear end, they should let me one shot sephiroth. the summon was only actually useful for fighting ruby weapon anyway

Hah, wow. I was just a dumb kid so I assumed using the super move was the key to victory.

I liked how easy the last fights in Final Fantasy X were if you did any of the optional stuff. Seymour comes out with his fancy final form and his mom bitchslaps him for a million damage.

I have a great shame. I put like 300+ hours into FFX in my teenage days. I defeated all the optional bosses. I got all the ultimate weapons. Including Wakka's (endless hours of horrible blitzball) and Lulu's (dodge TWO HUNDRED loving LIGHTNING BOLTS). I redid all the sphere grids to complete perfection, including Luck. Then I found out that since I wasn't playing the International Edition, the hardest bosses in the game weren't even available to me and it was all pointless.

The extra stuff in FFX took a ridiculous amount of grinding. I got the ultimate weapons(if you used the lightning glitch blitzball was the only really painful one to get) and beat Omega but the dark aeons and Penance were just stupid.

I've actually been playing FF X-2 for the first time this week and once you get past how weird it is it's kinda good. More FFs should do class systems. Definitely wouldn't want anyone to see me playing it though.

Not hyped. I love FFVII because it's one of the first RPGs I remember playing and all of the charm comes from the blocky characters, pre rendered backgrounds, etc. I like it because it's a product of its time and remaking it to cash in on nostalgia is lame. So much of that game seemed cool when it was being processed through the imagination of an 11 year old. Going through it today fully voiced dialog and a bunch of cutscenes will probably make it cringe inducing.

This guy loving nailed it. JRPG dialogue in general is pretty awful, but spoken aloud it's is basically an out-of-control firehose spraying a constant jet of ultra-concentrated liquid cringe at full blast, capable of instantly corroding whatever charitable sliver of respect that roommates, friends, parents, and significant others may have ever felt toward you withers and dies an excruciating, shameful death.

Thanks to the miracle of modern technology, what used to be a series of mercifully silent text boxes is now a seizure-inducing ritual of sitting perfectly still and praying for death as a cadre of teenagers dressed like a colorblind magician's sex dungeon shout and pose at each each other about the power of friendship. Finally, after decades of outdated flexibility of being able to skipping through cumbersome exposition, middle school-quality writing is brought to life through the shrill, tedious performances of memorable characters like: brooding hero, """"""comic"""""" relief, scantily-clad, ultra-sexualized love interest, and scantily-clad, ultra-sexualized, underaged love interest.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Japanese developers, these miserable conveniences have been completely modernized and updated to deliver fully-voiced, high-definition cutscenes that induce overwhelming dread and innovative, streamlined feelings helplessness as control is periodically wrested from the player unannounced to subject them to a baffling assault on the very concept of human interaction. Seconds pass like hours as nobody can muster the courage to make eye contact or look directly at the screen or even move a muscle as everyone quietly fights to keep their own skeletons from bursting free from their anguished prison and fleeing in abject shame.

This is truly what the genre has been working towards all these years.

i hope aeris has the most annoyingly high pitched voice of a 5 year old retard like you typically hear from your stereotypical female characters in english dubbed anime. that way people will cheer when she gets murdered

however, i also want sephiroth to have that stereotypical douchy voice you see in male characters from english dubbed anime. i recommend hiring egoraptor

this way those who will prefer the annoying gameplay design will suffer throughout. yes fuckers, i spelled aerith wrong, go choke on your strawberry pocky and die a slow death, clinging to your creepy anime body pillow

Not really because Genesis is the one with a chip on his shoulder about how cool and special Sephiroth is. So he's more a proto-Cloud (without the memory loss, and whose Sephiroth is actually a guy not an alien imitation).

Angeal is the garbage character addition in Crisis Core.
