I had a quick look around for this, and couldn't find one, Maybe it was closed, so apologies if there is one! (A lot my my threads start like this!)


SO I am now replaying VIII and I've just become a member of SEED (Yay!) so i also took the opportunity to fight Diablos as soon as I could.
And obviously I was doing the blind trick, so he just uses gravija or whatever
So I was using lots of limits, renzokuken/zells fist/and for the first time of properly using it Selphie's.

Now I found hers to be the must usefull, doing over until I got Full Cure, or even a Fira/Blizzara/Thundara. Even a Meteor! And at that point in the game about level 13 ish, I was pretty amazed.

I don't know whether I'll figure her in my ultimate party yet but I think she will be useful for the time being! :P

Am I just a dumbass, or has anyone else failed to realise how good Selphie's limit is?
 
I never gave Selphie's limits a chance, mainly because I didn't use Selphie unless I had too and I only heard about how effective her limits were after I finished the game. I might give Selphie's limits a try next time I decide to play the game though :/
 
I find that other limits are better than hers, Rinoa, Squall & Quistis are better. I dontt hink ive ever used anything other than full lkife from selphies limits...I even chose 'do over' on the end because I had no idea what it was......I was near death and needed full cure, if only id known eh.....

Anyway, as far as limits go, degenerator, renzokeken and Rinoas angelos are just better imo. I rarely use another set up
 
Interesting, I had never thought about using Selphie....cause I never really liked her. As far as limits go I always found Zells, Squalls, Quistises and Irvines to be the best. True Selphies CAN be highly powerful, but there is nothing fun about sitting there hitting "do over" a million times just to get "The End" IMO anyway

Selphie is great for when everyone is at low health. Full-Cure is pretty much always available at any level, so it's great to get you out of a tight jam.

I admit I don't think I've ever really fully utilized anyone limit breaks aside from Squall's. I have a hard time finding items to teach Quistis her awesome limit breaks, and Rinoa's Angel Wings is only good if you take out a whole bunch of magic from her stock. Even one Scan in there, and she likely casts that more often than not.

Zell and Irvine's, meh, I'm more amiable to physical attacks, so there limits are useful I think.
 
I don't use Sephie, as mre times then not, he has crap magic for he limits. Instead, Ijust Zell for this:

"Armageddon Fist – Dubbed by fans as "Armageddon Fist", the technique is Zell’s most powerful and one of the most powerful in the game. If used properly it can defeat all but the strongest bosses with one use. To perform the Armageddon Fist, simply use Zell’s two weakest moves (Punch Rush and Booya) in rapid succession. It only takes fractions of seconds to do each move, and with the proper stats each move does around 5000 HP damage. In four seconds the player can do each move five times which totals 50,000 damage. With 12 seconds, the player can total over 150,000 damage. "
 
I can honestly say i never gave selphie the time of day. The fact that it wasnt a limit directed at physical damage put me right off. I liked irvine for the quickshot and pulse ammo and zell of course for the same reason mentioed above. Booya punch rush is a great way of destroying your enemy, if ur lucky and get a big timer aswell ur garunteed to do a hell of a lot of damage.
 
I am gonna have to agree with most people in here and say that I really didnt even use Selphie that much to begin with. I just started playing again and am changing that around. I guess you could say I have seen the errors of my ways, her limit is pretty damn sweet. And when Junctioned right she can actually attack for pretty decent.

I also like using Squall's Rezozuken, and Zell's fist attacks. I was never really a big fan of Quistis's Limits. Mostly because that I almost never found any of her Blue magic attacks. Irvine I would probaly have in my party at all times, so needless to say I used his. And Rinoa's I would use near the end of the game because the whole Sorcess limit I thought was kinda better than the whole Angelo ones.
 
Selphie's limit would be epic if it were a STB like FFX. Where you have plenty of time to go through and find a good spell. Apparently she has four unique spells, The End and Full Cure being two of them.
I actually found her quite useful against Ultamecia, she healed Zell and Squall after Hell's Judgement with Full Cure.
Her effectiveness depends on her magic stat though.
 
All she is good for is full cure and if you put a decent magic to her mage stat and use thundaga 3 times that can be useful too.
 
I love using Selphie and her slots! I use Full-Cure and Wall the most. I've had the end to show up before,twice actually. Used it both times.
 
I never really used Rinoa's because I hated that damn dog! Angelo cannon!???

But I think early on, Selphie's limits are very useful, allowing you access to magic you don't get, unless you decided to level up loads near the start. And I am also thinking of having her in my final 3. Before I wasn't a Selphie fan but she's winning me over!!
 
@ Baralai

NOOOO! Selphie is evil/hyper!^^
Besides I find her REALLY REALLY REALLY...
*2 days later*...REALLY REALLY annoying!
Her hyperness makes me sick and her limit is based solely on luck, so I don't like it! I found almost every other limit more useful! I was rly happy when I thought she died in the mssl base...
 
Just because of the sheer anoyance factor of Selphie, I chose to never use her.
Yes, her limit is handy, but on the other hand you can spend ages cycling through pointless spells until you get what you're after.

I hate her.
 
Selphie is incredibly hyper, and somewhat annoying, but I think I'm prepared to overlook that for now. Maybe I'm trying to be a bit more upbeat about things which is why I have more patience with her.

Waiting for the right spells is annoying, but so it waiting for Lionheat once you get it!
 
I think if I rmb-ed correctly, I did make it a point to use all of the character's limit breaks at least once or twice during the second time when I replayed the game(Which was really quite some time ago). While Selphie's limit breaks are a pain in the ass sometimes, I find them quite entertaining. In a really unimpt battle where I had the world of time to waste, I just toggle and toggle to try and get The End and Rapture. I find it quite satisfying getting these special attacks. But if you're talking about usefulness, I just don't think I'd be putting her in my main party in impt battles.
 
Sometimes I found Selphie's limit to be useful. Especially when I can find Full-Cure easily. Although, sometimes...it was not so easy. When I have to push Do-over multiple times and then end up dying cuz I could not find the right limit quick enough. >___<;; Lmao. So, it just depends on the situation if I find her limit to be useful to me or not.
 
yeah her limit is good but it takes time and while you're finding the good stuff, you're still getting attack. so im like trying to go through her spell quickly to get the good stuff, but while im clicking next and end up nexting a good spell and that gets frustrating. but her limit is still pretty good and unique
 
haha i haven't used her that much so i probably wouldn't have known..
hahaha. but i use a lot of squall's and zell's and rinoa's limits.. haha they're
my favorite party.. with a touch of that spell where your character gains limits faster, (i forgot what spell that was. >LOL), i always win any fight. haha.
i love it when squall does the lionheart on any enemy. hahah. :D

You think hers was useful try Renoa alone against one of the weapons. I kept using the angelo moon getting invincible and could never die. Seriously that limit is the most useful limit other then the end, which is rarer then a purple cow.
