Which means that I somehow picked ALL the wrong answers and ended up pissing off EVERYONE......just perfect.

I saw mention of it in an SO3 guide, but no specifics.

Yeah.....I think I have my Sophia with Fire Bolt and Meteor Swarm. Extremely easy to cancel bonus that.

Sad how the AI of the game can use attacks better than the player that spent over 400 hours on the game, huh?

Not unless you're watching them all at the same time at all hours of gameplay. o_o
**Spoilers**
And you don't wanna be watching me 'play' with Sophia. xP

I always used those slow bug things and the spiders. There's a really good spot....I think on floor 180 where you can go in, battle (only monster there), run to the exit a few steps away, run back in, and then battle it again, Simply repeat and you got some quick kills there. I managed to kill them with an Air Raid and Eth Blast and had Cliff and Sophia on cleanup for the ones it missed. lol.

I know what you mean. T_T
Though, it's always fun to play those turn-based ones that you played in the good ol' days for nostalgia. Those I can still tolerate.
Though, even I have my limits. All flash and no substance (i.e. KHII) bores the hell outta me even if it IS fully realtime.

Yeah, definitely shorter than Sphere 211. lol.
Though, the part that bugged me was that I couldn't find a guide with the directions, so I ended up having to wait for Gondor to come over in the summer and get me through it.

I kept getting the colors mixed up. @_@
I was like "wait, yellow is earth and green is wind.....wtf?"

Hm. BoF and Air Raid would be an interesting combo. Hard to pull off since it would take a bit of time for Air Raid to start up after BoF, but interesting nonetheless.
But yeah, when you play with ONLY Fayt the entire time, you tend to learn to connect his attacks. lol.
