Hardest GF To Obtain

Which GF was the hardest for you to obtain in VIII?

Hmmm, I wouldn't say it was the hardest, but Tonberry is an absolute bitch to get. I just don't have the patience for it. I sit there gritting my teeth while I slowly work myway thru tonberries

Yup...like Frisky said....Tonberry is the biggest ass of all GFs....not hard...but annoying....and his attacks are also ....annoying....And to fight all those tonnberrys and after that the big bad king was too much for my patience. I did beat him in the end but....it took so much.

Yah, That DID take awhile to get.

I'd have to say that Eden was hard for me. Not the fact that I had to draw him but the Boss I had to defeat to get him was super fast and had crazy strength. Urgh. It was one that took the longest to get.

I battled it out the Jumbo Cactuar for an hour and five minutes. Now, I'm not sure if that was due to employing a bad strategy but it was a lifetime battle anyway.

I never got Eden because my disc was damaged and the graphics cut out when I was on my way down. I assume this would've been a tough battle.

The Tonberry King was just plain cruel in an endurance sort of a way. It was something like having to defeat 20 tonberry's before you even got a shot at him.

for me, it was Doomtrain. I had to replay time and time again so I could stop forgetting to draw Alexander, which you need to unlock Doomtrain. Then I had to master like three GF moves, pick up a ring, and gather Malboro Tentacles, Steel pipes, and something else.

All rarer items, see. It was a major pain in the ass, especially the Malboros.

I thought Tonberry was easy: I just used Kamikaze on the Tonberry's, one by one, and they all died instantly...
Although that did leave me one guy down when I fought the King...
Cactuar was my hate; that bitch was a total and utter annoyance to beat (for me)...

i thought the cactaur guy was pretty easy, leviathin did 9999 so it didnt take me that long.
tonberry king took the longest as you had to kill 20 of them, so i suppose that made it the hardest.
but those cactaurs with their bad breath were a bitch too

You jammy git, I never though of that

Doomtrain is the hardest purely because you have to obtain so many hard to find items, particularly the Malboro Tentacles which you have to face off against numerous Malboros if you can't stand refining from cards, and they are quite possibly the most annoying monster in the game! Plus need to spend lots of money and time getting the Remedy+'s and Steel Pipe's.

In at a close second would be Tonberry purely with the fact it took soooo long to defeat 20 Tonberry's in one sitting, so much so I felt like hanging myself halfway through.

Any other GF isn't really difficult as I don't find any boss particularly difficult.

Haha, jammy git, haven't been called that in a long time...
I hated Cactuar, the point being I always fought him so late in the game that both he and I were super-powered.
Thus; he was a bitch.
I liked getting Doomtrain, due to my inordinate amount of cards early in the game (like, before Ifrit early) and my huge cash amounts: I rarely bought anything...
