Aerith's Great Gospel

May 3, 2008, 9:21 PM

How many of ya have actually used Great Gospel?

May 3, 2008, 9:22 PM

Me. Its quite useful against the bosses in the Temple of the Ancients, especially that Demon Wall

I'm thinkin about gettin it sometime. Demon Wall was annoying. Although once I fought him at Level 50 or 60 and killed him with ease. He still was a little annoying though.

i never do i like aerith but theirs always that part of me that doesnt care since see dies

I think theres no way to get the great gospel before aeris dies since you need a chocobo i think the only way is with game shark to revive aeris.

Um, no. You can get Great Gospel before Aerith dies, and it doesn't require a Chocobo

I try to get Great Gospel everytime I play, since I like to be a completionist with limit breaks, and I use Aerith throughout disk one anyway so...

Yes, you can get Great Gospel on 1st disc. Trust me, I have the mini-guide about how to get it in an old issue of Tips & Tricks magazine. Just requires a great deal of work though. It's one of the most useful limits.

I got Great Gospel during my second playthrough. I missed out the first time since I was just sorta going with the flow of the game. Aeris was dead long before I would've been able to acquire it.

Great limit break. I use Aeris as much as I can while she's available.

Had Aerith lived to the end of the game, I doubt her limit break would be that powerful anyway, as it would take away all the fun of the game. Ruby and Emerald weapons would be boring, and Sephiroths Super Nova would just be countered with Great Gospel...how boring.

Useful =/= Fun-Filled

Also, I think you're overestimating how powerful the attack would actually be. Had she been alive to fight Ruby weapon, she would be pretty useless considering if you have more than one party member alive, Ruby will whirlpool. And even if you got Great Gospel off (which you would have to proc immediately off a fresh limit gauge) that wouldn't stop a character from being whirlpooled because they're not taking damage.

It's not like you can proc that limit every time you want to. Everything would probably be easier, yes, but since I'm a more offensive minded player, she most likely wouldn't have been in my party to begin with and would serve as a protector for my second party in the fight with Sephiroth's first form.

In any case, that's all hypothetical and if I got to replay the game with Aeris surviving the entire game, I wouldn't be too sad about it.
