    that’s why i don’t think tifa is the “default” here since everyone starts at the same point, maybe if you have multiple characters maxed out it might favor her then but not sure

    she was my “date” in chapter 8 so maybe that helped nudge her ahead of red and aerith for me (once i saw i had max affection for red i started doing synergy attacks with aerith and sabotaging red because i did not want the dog date on my first playthrough)

    yeah i had to sleep them also. there was a fight later on where i was also glad i leveled the element nullification materia too

    fight that took me the most tries so far in the simulator was (chapter 11 spoiler)

    I had everyone maxed by chapter 12 and it gave me the Aerith date

    and that mindflayer fight I just zerged the flayer and killed it asap, no sleep required, NPC dodge the scream just fine, just had to make sure to dodge myself to not get hit.

    It wasn't great, but I was able to do it without sleep by just using a single character and dodging them to lure them away from the Mindflayer. You can also block the screams that paralyze you, but I tried not to rely on it. Sleep definitely would've made that way easier and am mad I didn't try that lol.

    my NPCs definitely do not dodge the scream, then they get jumped on and self destructed, fail. or they will beat on the slept ones intermittently before i can swap to them to stop. i hate that fucking fight

    Yeah no matter who I brought in, the AI would just nuke the screamers even while I was wailing on the Mindflayer. Mercifully, the AI won't target sleeping enemies, which is why I started using Sleep on them.

    hmm seemed like they'd wail on the sleeping mobs when the flayer disappeared for a teleport but maybe it was something else

    Why are people using magnify and sleep? Magnify reduces the duration of sleep. I put on sleep and then used +duration accessory+weapon skill ability. Gave me enough time to knock it out.

    It's only a 30% or whatever duration decrease, in exchange for not needing to cast it twice. It was just easier to keep them slept that way rather than need to keep 2 ATB charges for whenever they woke up.

    I also only brought Cloud + Tifa in to minimize the chance of an AI partner hitting a screamer, and I think Aerith is the only character that gets any debuff duration stuff.

    I did the extensions and killed the mindflayer before they woke up, that was the point of extending it. Just needed the first 2 ATB and was good.

    Solo with Barrett, kite around a ton and just chip away at the mindflayer bit by bit, slow but EZPZ. Don't even worry about synergy or sleep

    Edit: could solo with Yuffie too and dodge faster and keep distance better too I guess. And use doppelganger+ninjutsu for the ranged damage

    Unless y'all are talking about the hard mode version of the fight and it has more win conditions, the only condition for beating it is beating the mindflayer first, no need to stagger it. The screamers can't do anything if you keep distance

    Saw Max is in an Easy Allies spoiler video discussion that’s four hours long, lol

    When Remake finished and it was the height of COVID and work from home, that Easy Allies ending breakdown video got me thru an entire day. I don’t know if I got it in me to watch a four hour breakdown for a much less ambiguous ending. But eh maybe.

    i have beaten the game. i have no issues with the ending because i figured there would be silliness ahead of time. still much better than the end of remake. putting platinum on hold to go back to last epoch because i am still mad the bike minigame is glitched for me

    final fight spoiler
    Spoiler: show
    it is incredibly depressing to be fighting a boss for the first time, not knowing his moves, spamming your atb bar charges down when he is getting close to death, then seeing the words “heartless angel” pop up on screen. horseshit!

    Is there any benefit in beating any summon on highest difficulty?

    directly? no, but I will say it’s potentially good practice for harder versions of them you may be fighting later on.
