I'm getting slaughtered by Thousand Gunner, Heli-Gunner and Thunder-Gunner...
I'm looking at videos of people playing 1.4, and for some reason, these bosses deal way more damage and take way less.
Here's an example. In Sega Chief's 1.4 Thousand Gunner video on Youtube, the whole party is in the back with Barrier on, and Crown Artillery deals about 40 damage to the party. In my game, I'm taking 100 damage.
As for damage, my Barret deals about 45 damage with a regular attack from the back row, and the one in Sega Chief's video deals 85.
Also, Red XIII can't use Sled Fang in my game, because I'm out of range, whereas people use it for over 300 damage in those videos...
And I remember clearly, Cloud was hitting like a total wimp too, like 30 damage.
Is this normal? I tried playing around with materias and give my magic casters all the +Magic I could find, and my fighters all the +Str materia, but it seems to have very little impact, and I take so much damage from both Heli Gunners that I barely have any time to ever attack, and even if I try constantly healing, they deal more than I can manage
