howdy to all fantasy luvas out there!! RIght to the point. Well recently I saw my friends playing the oldschool ff8 again. I was watching him defeat Ultimecia. He had aura on Squall and just unleashed his limit break. when squall was doing the powering up bit before his final cut during Lion heart(the part where hes in midair and the sword lights up) he hit Ultimecia and that attack alone did 30999!!. I'm not making this up I saw this with my own eyes. I guess this has sparked interest in me to play the game again.

Anybody else had the same experience??by the way it was the final cut that did 30999, the other ones before did only 9999 each. PLease tell me if you had the same experience cuz I really wanna know how to do it....cheers:)
 
I've never noticed, Im not sure if my Squall has ever done that, but I may not have been paying attention...so, I dunno, I think I'd have to fire up the game again, luckily I have a save right at Ultimecia, so I could have a look, although I get the feeling Il be saying nope, not happening for me, unless Ive never noticd and his last hit just breaks damage depending on how high his strength is..... D:
 
Maybe if it was a different version of the game.. I personally have never encountered this. Did he play it on PC or on the PS? Maybe they made that possible there? Never the less, even without that Lionheart deals a LOT of damage.
 
Yeah, it deals loads of damage with all hits dealing 9999 damage. I have never had the last hit deal any 5 digit amount of damage, only 9999. Perhaps it has something to do with what version it is, like others have stated.

I can't think of anything else it could be. I definitely pay attention during the limit break, I love watching it, so I just see the 9999s coming up an insane number of times. XD
 
hey gang. I saw my mate unleash Lion heart on Omega Weapon this time. The final cut did 39999 on it but that after using meltdown to reduce Vit to 0. By the way he was playing it on the PC version but could there really be a difference in break damage limit between PC and playstation? I'm sure he didn't hack or modify the game in any way.
 
There could be, why not? I think there was such a difference in the FF7 PC version, but I can't remember what it was right now, maybe someone else can help, or maybe give an example of a different situation and a different game.
 
That has to be a mistake.....such a numerical oversite is not possible are you sure your friends squall was power up to the max cause the only thing i can think of to explain this occurence is that the previouse hit inflicted damage with these numbers and the to series of numbers overlapped??
 
yeah his stats were maxed out his attack was 255 i think. but no, the numbers did not overlap. again, the final hit doing lion heart did 5 digit damage, he also did the other limit breaks and they just did 9999 on omega weapon. but why not? quistis and eden both do 5digit damage, selphie can do an instant kill so why not?

Because each 'hit' from Lionheart, shouldn't deal more than 9999 damage; its been programmed so. I've heard that the PC version is buggy in certain OS's, so that could be why it dealt that much....but even so, I searched Google and even Gamefaqs about this 30999 damage hit, and I couldn't find anything.

Just to conclude STR affecting it.....no, even with 255 STR, it should deal the limit cap of 9999.

I can only hazard a guess in the knowledge that numbers tend to overlap when using Lionheart and, somewhere down the line, I assume there was a '3' in the damage, somewhere.
 
its a bug within the pc version, to do with the programmers obsession with the number 3 and also the terrible random number generator incorporated within it, meaning that certain events like angelos item finding arent as good as they should be

and the obsession with the number 3...look at the internal timer for those events...13.33

if you look further im sure, like (halo and the number 7) you will find alot of occurences with the number 3

some moire examples are
the amount of useble characters and
the amount of chances you have to enter the lunatic pandora the first time
the amount of slashes odin makes
squall (6 letters (2x3)) lionheart (9 letters (3x3)) 9+6=15 (5x3)
 
I guess they do it because it adds some mystic to the game? Like in the movie 23 :D
 
I remmember going in the save to ultimate wep and all i used on the iron giants was Squalls limit break and all i saw were 9999's like many others have said it could even be a glitch in the game? or gameshark even..
