I dunno. It was in the PP Store after I played for a while.

I've levelled up WoL to around 45, but he's earning hardly any new moves, and Shield of Light is next to useless. Cloud, on the other hand, is a beast. Now that I've got a couple of Brave to HP attack combo's, he's tearing through the opposition - I even beat a couple of lvl100 opponents without taking damage, and my equipment is still shitty, like lvl 45+.
My plan for today is to work through the hardcore play plan. I reckon a couple of hours in Quick Battle ought to do it.

This and Bitter End are his two most useful HP attacks.

Shield of Light blocks a lot shit before it actually does damage which is cool.

Yeah, it shields, but the attack range is short and it takes a second or two for the attack itself to come out, meaning it's a cinch to dodge. It also really sucks in the air, where that start up delay means you've next to no chance of hitting with it.
I managed to beat the Hardcore Play plan today (phew!), but still no Grind Lover.

Then just look it up on an FAQ. I have no idea how I unlocked it.

Yeah, just did. It should be available in the PP shop after beating Chaos Impulse so that's probably my next task.

Beat Chaos Impulse, have started doing the Coliseum levels, and Time Attack (which is bastard hard). I finally got Cloud to level 100, and have started on Tidus, though he's a bit too flashy for my liking. Some of his moves are pretty quick, but lack wallop, and those that dodge as part of the I'm struggling to get a handle on.
I used the Exdeath trick on Jecht and Seph. Few problems with it though; None of your moves have AP, so you can't equip yourself like you'd want. As a result those two are far less useful than Cloud, who I levelled up the old fashioned way, and as a side effect, any moves that branch, like Cloud's Slashing Blow (which goes into Omnislash) are left at their base level. It's a nice way to get your fighters to high levels quickly, but if you want the AP (which you will) then you'll still need to spend several hours with each of them.
Oh, and despite being a huge fan of most things VII related, Sephiroth sucks, which is kinda disappointing.

Pretty cool.
I'm really struggling with Jecht, I know he's hugely powerful, because the AI keeps doing me in one combo, yet the timing is a bitch to learn. Why oh why is there no training mode SE? Why?!

I kept wondering that because it would've helped with getting Jecht's combos down. Oh well, I finally got them down after a while but sometime I get too anxious and hit the Square button too early or late.

I can just about get the second circle press for his basic air combo, but nothing after that. It may not be so bad if you could set your opponent to stand still and have inf health, but as it is, you can either set their level low so they die as soon as you hp attack them, or they're set high enough to take the hits, but they keep dodging or blocking. It's infuriating.
Having said yesterday that Sephy sucked, I watched a few youtube vids as well, including one guy who beata lvl100 Chaos without taking any damage. It was pretty impressive, but again, I've tried the combos and they justdon't work. Either my timing's off, or some combos got nerfed before the EU or US releases.

I always thought Cloud was referring to Barrett when he said that.
Because there's no way in hell Cloud is talking about Zack even if Zack and Firion do have noble dreams.

I've just been going through Destined Odyssey again, and it's odd getting a feel for the different characters. I've been spending time with Tidus, learning his dodge timing, and then switched straight to Cecil; Talk about chalk and cheese. Tidus is fast and athletic, easily stringing combos together, yet Cecil is slower, doesn't really hit any harder, and lacks any easy brave > hp options.
Then I switched back to Cloud, and had to remember that I need to block attacks with him, rather than dodging as you would with Tidus. I still haven't unlocked Shantotto or Gabranth either.
