I'm assuming infinite anyway. I always nail him first because my main goal during the fight [other than to... you know... win] is to steal Mythril Dagger - having him in the fray only reduces the amounts of turns I can Steal with.

If you kill Sealion, he'll summon another. And another. And another etc. It could possibly be limited, but I've read nothing about that to date.

I do the same

I'm about to start a new file, so methinks I'll try that. That just raises new questions about what kind of powers Black Waltz 1 has though...like...where does he even summon sealions from? They're not encountered anywhere else in the game...so does he just create them or what?

Can I change my answer and say Black Waltz 1 is my favorite now? He's become more interesting

He's also the only Black Waltz with 9999 MP, as opposed to the others' 3000-ish amount. It's possible that summoning Sealion tolls on his MP - hence the vast amount - but there's no way of finding this out unless you tank your way through the fight. Good luck with that btw. ;p


I'll change the vote count now.

Orly? I never payed attention to his MP amount...that's kinda weird. And I can tank my way through that fight no sweat, I take my sweetass time stealing anyway. I tend to powerlevel in the Evil Forest

Hellz yeah, Black Waltz 1 needs sum moar luvin

I voted number two because I prefer that number over three and one. Pssh. Three? What kind of number is that?
And one, as we all know is the loneliest number, and if that number is so damn lonely, why would I pick it?

Anyway, I know who three and one are and neither of them interest me. Was number two the one in the field?
That'd be mighty disappointing.

2 had nothing to him. Sure, they all had the whole "retrieve the Princess" shizzle [which, I might add, Black Waltz 1 clearly had no incentive in doing], but 2 was there and then - he exemplified very little 'personality' that the others did.

Much the robot of the trio.

Now that you mention it....it's kind of odd the first Black Waltz solely wanted to kill them all. I wonder if Zorn and Thorn screwed up in the programming for it?

As far as we're aware, the blizzard he summons sends people to sleep. This could be indication of 'programming' that enforced the use of this blizzard before capturing the Princess. However due to his dialogue with Zidane ["you should be dead"], this indicates otherwise.

... probably a fault then. Stupid developers ruining our games. >=[
