phoenix tower = UNCOOL
i walked into it thinking "hey, easy summon, there isn't even a boss.
walk up 30 floors of pure hell. each floor you can run into enemies you can't run away from, they cast a variety of "fun" spells which FREQUENTLY toad, stone, zombie, mini, sleep, muddle, paralyze you, not to mention TWO instant kill moves. and there is 30 floors of this stuff. i swear, if i died(there were several close calls), i would have snapped my disk in half.
now all i need to do is
-kill bahamut
-steal a protect ring from odin, AND kill him (the time limit for the odin fight is 60 seconds, when the time runs out, you die)
-grind up-to a respectable level (im thinking low 40's, im around 36-37 right now due to running away from every encounter i could in the last two-three dungeons)
-use said power from grindan to lay the smackdown on the remaining 8 or so bosses, watch credits, start final fantasy 6.
*edit*
get party properly setup, make sure the thief has the thieves glove equipped to have a higher chance of stealing
encounter odin, make sure the thief goes first and the time mage second
-steal
-if fail, have time mage use return to instantly restart the battle (and the 1 minute timer)
-20-30 tries should nab you your protect ring
-immediatley use $throw (i had my time mage with this ability)
-throw a magic shurikan
-cast flare
-do nothing with the thief, have him defend
-use $throw again
odin should be "ahh mah gah, you are awesome, ill join you" and boom, battle is over, and i had 23 seconds left to spare. who would have known that throwing money does more damage than the flare spell.
*edit*
k, looking at the battle beforehand, i was well prepared for the bahamut fight...too prepared
4x time mage
-start battle with haste 2
-cast quick
-cast meteo twice (quick lets you cast 2 spells right away)
-do this with every character
your characters should be out of mana, or almost out of mana in about two turns(quick = asston of mana), but that shouldn't be a problem because....
.....bahamut should die before he gets an action, and enjoy your shiney new awesome summon
