FF7 Magic-Only Run, report #4
Second TPK!
Well, two and a half. I let Yuffie get got because the guy on the first floor of the Pagoda knew Reflect and I hadn't thought to equip Destruct. XPPP But anyway, the real TPK was in the Temple of the Ancients, in the room where you get the Nail Bat. The Ancient Dragons were not impressed by magic, and I didn't really need the Nail Bat anyway so I decided to let that one go.
Overall I'm definitely feeling the crunch now. Between Rapps, Demon's Gate and Jenova-LIFE I nearly got my ticket punched multiple times. I'm having real trouble dealing enough damage and keeping myself in MP. Demon's Gate especially - I ended up having Vincent toss out Ethers every turn and I could still barely keep up with MP demand. The Pagoda was a struggle in parts, mostly with Magic and Omni being able to heal themselves (at my expense, in Magic's case). In the end I was only able to beat Omni once I finally managed to Magic Hammer his MP bar to death. I have a feeling this is going to be a strategy I repeat going forward.
That Scene has never gotten easier to watch, even after 25 years. Just putting that out there.
