Single target. Basically, cloud performs the whole animation in 3~ seconds. and then the actual omnislash effects take place. Looks like he attacked at lightspeed and reality catches up afterwards.
TL;DR: Cait Sith sucks big frign ass
Didn't know that, but it doesn't explain why the lvl 3 limit caused him to turn into his lvl 4 form. He DID use the lvl 4 attacks in that form though. It no longer messes up anything, but the other problem is now that it'll probably somehow screw you to learn the lvl 4 limit via item. I don't know how that is handled though.
I simply left him with 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1 limits for now and gave the actual attacks and transformations some effects. ( lvl 4 gives barrier, mbarrier, peerless, haste, regen and shield for a complete boost for example. obviously, that stuff still wears off normally. )
No, giving a character a limit it didnt learn in the game basically makes the limit menu in battle invisible and displays nothing
it doesnt freeze the game, but you can't 'learn' the limit properly anymore, so you're stuck with a bugged limit.
i.e.
Cloud has Limit 1-1, 1-2
I give cloud 2-1 and 2-2 ( or just 2-1 ) via black chocobo and set the limit level to 2 ( or not, didnt matter for the result )
limit in battle then results in a invisible box after clicking limit with no attacks displayed as if the char had limit mode but no limits learned
it doesnt actually touch the 1-3, 2-3, 3-3 limits at all ( you can't remove them either )
