re: Rebirth full game spoilers . No story in OP

I cheated the Sephiroth thing hard cheese. You can pause right when his hand starts to come back unpause and input the button. You can also have on the internet in front of you what each of his 4 different heat up combos are and they all open with a different move so you can do it without pausing knowing what’s to come. That’s how I got that 1 lol. Only things I still have left are the last 2 chapters on hard mode, that god damn flying Chocobo mini game in cosmo I still need 1st place on the third course, I still need Aerith cactuar crunch on hard hers are way more ridiculous than Yuffies imo, and for the legendary solo bouts that really really insist you know how to play each character I have completed Cloud, Yuffie, Red, Tifa, and Barret. Aeriths is fricking brutal because she’s so slow and Cait sith is hard to get damage going quickly I tried using his random slots near the top of his folios for a while but no Lady Luck for me. Then the brutals which you get 3 people sometimes it’s two teams of 3 into 10 rounds I still have the final one to beat where you team up with Sephiroth and just Cloud. I just beat the one before that an hour or so ago where it’s just Cloud and Zach vs all summons then a VR created Sephiroth that’s completely new from any other encounter with him in the game. New moves, new AI, new phase, etc

Eta; yeah Rufus took me over an hour because there’s no Mp refill spill over from Rude to Elena to him for Cloud on hard but you can use the bench to full heal and change your set up. The way I ended up eventually getting it done is being long and boringly slow. I never cast anything with cloud against rude and Alena had Aerith magnify heal and soul drain if she needs mp and Yuffie buffing debuffing with 5 star prayer in cloud and lightning element on the weapon for Elena because poison destroys rude.

Then for Rufus I filled up on maxed out steadfast block, atb stagger, atb skill, atb boost, skill master, precision defense, used chakra to heal but had a a curaga if needed but I used all my Mp buffing me and debuffing him. Used Phoenix for reraise which I actually needed cuz dark star killed me the run I ended up winning. The things I imagine most people don’t bother with too much on normal runs because I don’t myself on hard are things like steadfast block, atb boost, skill master, etc. Also the accessory that you get for finding the 4 pirate treasures is a god send on Rufus and most fights. It sticks into automatic refocus state every time you do 5 separate AtB commands. It’s the second best beyond either the one that starts you at limit level 3 or obviously the gotterdung which opens you fill full limit break and gradually builds it but that’s locked behind the final legendary VR
