Is that a bug?

@@1seven143 yes, sadly. There is a small Reddit post with people having the same issue. Opened a ticket and hope for solution

I cannot get the last manuscript for Cait Sith because the quest is bugged. It's the only thing that's stopping me from getting the platinum.

You know you don't need all the manuscripts for platinum, yeah?

@@sirloinestakegames7866 i know but i need to beat the minigame on hard for the trophy :( what bothers me with the missing 5 xp is that i dont want to start my hard mode playthorugh before i havent unlocked the last skills in the tree. want to do it with characters at max power you know what i mean?

yes that can work, though is no replacement for the genjis

yes, just stat buffs, so you can switch it out if you want to

@@Optinoobywhoops, thought you had an hp up in there. Looking back over the materia i cant really find a second one to drop, maybe the speed up

Ended up fitting it in by taking out the atb boost and enemy skill. Beat her on my 5th try, thanks so much for the guides

Since Cait Sith is a forced party member I left him built like you had in the Legendary boutique, hoping I could just have Vincent attacking the Moogle the whole time. The battle arena is so small though, his attacks are hitting me even if he is attacking the Moogle.

Maybe after hard mode

@@Optinooby thanks

You've probably done this by now, but I used the @Optinooby build used for Brutal Challenge 4. The difference is that Cait Sith isn't available, so I put his materia on Barrett.

best to do 100% before hard mode

@@Optinooby what do you mean iam in normal mode I don’t choose hard mode but it seems like cloud isnt much developed,,, hard to get SPs

You're in Normal Mode?? Why not just put the game on Easy then instead of putting it on Normal and looking at a Guide?

@@Optinooby I will check but it mostly because I didn’t develop them enough

its mega important you follow it step by step and for the 1st phase, you will need a little practise on dodging attacks, when to attack etc

use the skill first, then triangle

Its only the 1st phase you need to dodge around a little as mentioned. Of course if not dodging correctly, yes you will get silenced, but thats why I say dodge, cast fire 3, smash head etc. The 2nd and 3rd stages are over pretty quick, not really much to avoid there. I messed up at the start of stage 2 because i was too far away and my attacks missed. So the only RNG comes in the first phase, but thats why you need to learn to dodge the few moves it can do which are simple. Moves in the 2nd and 3rd phase are much worse, but it should be over before it gets chance to really do anything. Maybe a little RNG with the Head in stage 1, but mostly the strategy is very consistent, just requires you to dodge a little in phase 1, and follow my commands exactly with similar speed ;)

@@Optinooby one of my issues has been timing my Prime Mode swings. Because if your timing is even slightly off you are going to die 😂

@sirloinestakegames7866 The 1st phase yea, if you go too much into the combo and a attack is coming that you will not be able to stop and dodge in time, yea guess that can happen. 2nd and 3rd phase shouldnt be a problem. But once you learn the 1st phase mate, when to attack, how long to attack as you mention etc etc, its a mega consistent strategy i feel. The great thing about it is that you only really need to learn the 1st phase a little, the 2nd and 3rd phase should be over mega quickly if setup correctly

@@Optinooby I realise where I went wrong. I occasionally pushed the 1st phase into phase 2 too early by using Firaga too early. That means death at the start of phase 2. I was also at the mercy of RNG with the ATB at the very start of the battle. Sometimes Cloud doesn't load up with one full ATB, sometimes Barret takes a while to get one too. And as soon as I took my eye off the ball bam, hit in the face with the big pink puffy cloud 😂 Please don't take my comments as criticism. I LOVE the strategy as it works well, I was just a bit useless at pulling it off.

@@sirloinestakegames7866 Yea thats very key with a lot of these Hard Mode bosses, the stagger gauge, your ATB etc all needs to be in a very similar spot to me, otherwise these just dont work and you will get stuck in a bunch of attacks from the boss

Im honestly worried im going to forget which is which in terms of Fire, Fira, Firaga or whatever it is, and so I just say Level 3 or whatever as its clearer for me and easier to remember. Im not perfect and you know what I mean, or I hope you do ;)

@@Optinooby It was less of a criticism and more of an observation.

Thats all good mate, I wasnt offended, was just providing the Opti lore behind it ;)

i like level 3, it rubbed off on me and i say it all the time now

I like it, it reminds me of the old school final fantasy days

Sincere apologies, my bad

@@Optinooby It’s ok. I forgive you.

Make sure the fire is level 3 and you have same equipment as me......?

Nah, I went in to Roche fight at Junon with 15 MP, and left the fight with 60ish. Magic focus + high magic Stat and a level 3 MP Absorb recovers absurd amounts, especially if you're hitting a weakness.

By struggling like heck
