Temporary Change
: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 2,000 - 2,500 comments. "One of our biggest load problems is entries that have a high number of comments -- loading those entries causes a big hit -- and we've been seeing an increase in the number of entries with lots of comments lately. If even a few high-traffic journals or communities started opening new posts when comments reached 2000 or 2500 instead of letting the post run until it hit the maximum number of comments, it would definitely help." - DW_News

I like giving Tifa steal when it first comes up since she's the hand-to-hand fighter, the one who looks like she could actually be mugging someone with her animation. I like to give Cloud lightning because of all the energy it has bound up in it and then it just lashes out and you're pretty much fucked. May also be influenced by Lightning's facial design being based on him. Aerith gets the healing magic and ice, although Obstinate Melon's comic does make me want to give her Titan XD Barret will usually just get some odd end and stick to shooting the shit out of everything, haha.

Cover goes to Cloud by default. Gotta bodyguard. (Okay, I've started using it tactically for leveling Limit Breaks, but for writing? He would have it. And complain at the others when he was made to use it, but be glad that it's him hurt and not them.)

lmao! Cover reminds me that I always give Cloud Counter-Attack - and then yell at him when everyone's supposed to be holding their actions and he's running in there whacking things.

Bad, bad Cloud. But when he's giving the players faultily-translated advice about when not to attack, what can be expected?

I still haven't forgiven him for getting us all killed with the whole Scorpion-tail-debacle the first time I played that game. Barret wasn't the only one feeling surly. I also remember how freaked out I was about making that time limit escape the first time. Dang it, Jessie, learn how to walk!

lmfao I kind of love Jessie's clumsiness though. It's the very first blink-and-you'll-miss-it (especially during the explosion itself) tipoff that Cloud's not the total asshole he's playing as.

uh. You have to, actually. if you don't stop in the timed section she's not there to open the door for you again. The other instance isn't player-controlled.
