    What's the verdict on it? How much Bravery Damage can u do??? It better let me break those high level bastards when I get it Have u tried fighting Chaos with the ultimate weapon yet?

    That Oath Orb is really hard to get. Been beating Sephiroth dozens of times now... but with only ONE pathetic Oath Orb to show for. Will continue to work hard at it!

    And oh, I use Sunrise and Moonrise too. Together they boost 2.7 times for Battlegen.
    Yeah those dudes are pissing me off. So damn cheap. All they have to do is like land 1 or 2 combos on me and i'm already broken. But if i have to break them it takes me so freaking long.

    How do u get the Oath Orb, do u just have to keep on Ex bursting Seph?

    Nope. You have to break a Lvl100 Sephiroth. So you can use quick battle for that. Minimise his power...

    As for the ultimate weapon, BR damage just seems as weak, but I seems to be getting more critical hits in chase BR which is very helpful 'cos I can break them in no time.

    I still have no idea what's the difference between "Damage" and "Physical Damage". I'm wondering if the former refers to BR and the latter to HP.

    I totally hate it when I attend cousin's wedding and relatives pointing fingers at me and said "You're NEXT!". They quit doing that when I did exactly the same thing (point fingers at them and say "You're NEXT!") at them on FUNERALS!

    When aunt say the DUMBEST thing: "Look, your younger cousin has got married! Don't be choosy! Find someone and get married....".

    Me: "Thank you for your concern, aunt. I am very familiar with divorce matters, you know? The KEY to failed marriages has to be simply find someone and get married.... at least this is what the modern world has become, the world that we live in NOW."

    Why hate when you can have so much fun with it?

    "You should get married!"
    "But I haven't done anything wrong! Why should I be punished?"

    Or:

    "My girlfriend is against marriage."
    "What? You have a girlfriend now? How come you haven't introduced her to us?"
    "She's a spy. You're not allowed to meet her."

    Or the Brad Pitt's response: "I'll get married when every couple who want to can get married (referring to gay marriage)." His media advisor is a smart cookie.

    You can also ask those nosy relatives to set you up with someone but with one condition: you have to see her nude pics before the first date.

    The key is to not take them seriously and never give them a straight answer unless it's a No.

    When Iggy Pop sings, I can't understand the lyrics at all.

    People say Bob Dylan is hard to understand, but I hear every word Dylan sings (at least on his older songs).

    Don't worry, after a while, all the relatives will give up and stop asking.
    Well, at least, mine have given up on me for a while now.

    So with the ultimate weapon plus the chase, they really helps you to break those level 100+ guys?? So you're saying its worth it to get the ultimate weapon? Ultimate weapon + chase = breaking time??!
    Yeah I think damage is BR and physical damage is HP. I also wanna try getting those 30% boost accessories to maximize the BR/HP damages.

    BTW, I just started Crisis Core, great game. I just wanna be immersed in an awesome story. How long does it take to beta CC? Is it around the same gameplay length as FF VII?

    Haha no way. It's a really short story. If you do minimum training you can beat the story within a week. The majority of gameplay length is to the missions, which can extend the length by weeks and weeks.

    Good for you.

    I've decided to mess with their heads using Candyman's suggestions so that they will get totally confused and finally quit asking.

    Lunch-nap time story:

    A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.

    “Not very long.” answered the Mexican.

    “But then, why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?” asked the American.

    The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.

    The American asked “But what do you do with the rest of your time?”

    “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. I have a full life.” The American interrupted, “I have an MBA from Harvard, and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat.”

    “And after that?” asked the Mexican.

    With the extra money the bigger boat will bring, you can buy a second and a third and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers.

    Instead of selling your fish to a middleman, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant.

    You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise.”

    “How long would that take?” asked the Mexican.

    “Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years.” replied the American.

    “And after that?”

    “Afterwards? Well my Friend, that’s when it gets really interesting.” answered the American, laughing. “When your business gets really big, you can start selling stocks and make millions!”

    “Millions? Really? And after that?” said the Mexican.

    “After that, you’ll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife, and spend your evenings doing what you like and enjoying your friends.”

    Yes good one if you already live that life. I dont even own a fuken boat yet.
    Due to several complaints, I will stop using the terms "Babe" and "Baby" in reference to our female counterpart. They will now be replaced with "B*tch."
