no items reactor one in my mod is impossible
.
you are kept alive by items, especially since you start out at level 1, and you only have the MP to cast thunder/blizzard thrice (cure is 8 mp, and would only be able to be used twice), and GS alone takes a few ethers, or a ton of grenades/shrapnel to kill. potions heal 200 HP in battle, which is needed especially since his laser can do that much to both of you
.
wow... GS can easily be killed by a level 25 cloud with thundara, and the best equipment by the gold saucer, so it may be an arena fight at some point... same with many of the other bosses (possibly coupled with some other enemies as well), so my arena should end up being a place to see a lot of the bosses again, sans the jenova fights (just wouldn't feel right
). most of the early enemies will be strong when you fight them, and give you trouble if you overlevel at that point in the game, but once you obtain better equipment, they will seem much easier. but the northern crater enemies will be suited to ward off even a level 99 party with the best equips, so the final stretch of the game will be fairly difficult
. i think i will also go as far as to make all of the NC battles unable to be fled from, just to make things that much harder on your party... a real test of your endurance, as a final dungeon should be
not that i am going to get there any time soon, it is just a thought... i am putting a lot of time into the start, when it will be the least visited area of the game, and should not be extremely tough anyway because of the limited amount of resources.
