Hands in the air, YES! Wha... There's more?

(tags game, PlayStation 2, Final Fantasy, spoiler)

That boss in the last post, I defeated. Yes! (insert the video from that "Nintendo 64 Kid" on Christmas day, remixed yeah thanks Kotaku). The overall strategy I got from FAQ-support but they can't tell you exactly when to input your menu commands, so I can say I defeated it, yeah right. I toppled this boss like that last straw on the proverbial camel's back, not with a bang but with a whimper. It actually doesn't make a difference that my characters are at level 93 or so. (I don't know what minimum level you can be to beat the story mode, but isn't it less than 50?)

Now I'm working on another side-boss, and this is going to be slow-going. I mean, it lets you run away with the HP whittled down and when you come back to it, the progress is kept but it the words "Round <N>" shows up. When I go back it will be "Round 4". Oh gee. How many real days is this going to take?
