Update: I leveled up to one more set of stat boosts and the combination of increased ability scores, full limit break bars, and higher levels allowed me to continue being the classes that I wanted to be, forcing Jormungandr onto his second stage before he could Tail Slap me into oblivion!
- Barret: Dark Knight (front row; only gravity and destruct equipped)
- Yuffie: Bodyguard (back row (no tranq); can't use spells but can equip elemental materia for elemental affiliation on weapon or armor, had cover materia but was not used)
- Cloud: Samurai (front row; only sense and counter materia -- used limit breaks to beat the distance gap)
Thanks again Sega Chief! Still looking forward to 2.0.
