More fuel for the VII remake rumor fire!

The most fun I ever had with VIII was when I realized you could beat Diabolos with Laguna and company.

YES.

Desperado against Diabolos is full of win.

The few things that would make it incredibly easy weren't apparent unless you just played the hell out of it. Going through the game the very first time, most people wouldn't find out about things like economizers, vanish/doom, offering/genji glove/atma weapon/valient knife/locke, the importance of stat increases over learning spells, the best rewards from the colloseum, and all that other jazz. Unless you used a guide, but then that's your own fault if you did. And in comparison to what I played before, I really thought it was over after i found the espers in the cave and took them back to Thamasa, but then... Enter Kefka <boom> Part II.

They fixed a lot of the game breaking issues with Advance. Wind God Gau is undoable. Doom(and X-Zone) only works with Vanish if they could have worked in the first place.

Aww, I just recently started FF8 too, but I beat Diabolos soon as I got the lamp ><
