FF8 Party v.s. Ganondorf

Freezing Zora's domain twice

How, does he just snap his fingers and make it so? How big is Zora's domain? Is it actual ice?

busting an island

Ho, and how big as the island?

merging an entire dimension over all over Hyrule, actually, which is larger than, though less destructive.

Not a destructive feat at all, it won't do anything here, particularily when the FF8 party have already survived the attempted merging of all space and time.


He also has global feats such as a world wide storm, and turning off the sun, both without his full power.

Not going to do anything. Plus this backs up a point made in another thread about whether the sun is actually a sun (big ball of gas), given that you can turn it off. 😬

It was blocked, "turning out the sun" is just a more fun phrase to use.

It might not have been blocked actually, eternal night would imply that he stopped the planet's rotation. Meh, one way or another he kept the sun from shining over the Great Sea.

ACTUALLY: Since the FF8 party only did through pure PIS, and that sort of giggly friendship power doesn't work on Ganon... It'll reduce them to spirits.

It's the entire head of the river, and he does it in a short time, without ever even being in Hyrule on one occasion.

slightly smaller than the one on which the forsaken fortress.

Means nothing of the sort. Means Ganon cast an eternal night, how he does is unknown.

This is more likely, but it doesn't matter as they'd have the exact same effect, except in scenario two, where the eternal night covers both halfs of the world, the entire world eventually freezes, where in Scenario 1, half burns while the other half freezes.

So that feat puts him roughly on par with Mr Burns eh? mmm

How big were these fissures, where was he, did it break anything significant?

I still think this planet run is probably similar to Supernova.

I think all of them are pretty similar to super nova. They're battle animations, you can't take them as fact.

Well, you're right about that. But we can't use Supernova or Blasting Zone to exclude ALL the animations, keep in mind that not all of them are exaggerated, some of them are accurate. For example... Cloud's Omnislash is just a bit slower than in the Gameplay, but it's still accurate as we can see all of his moves in the movie. Zell's Limit Break is also accurate (in my opinion) when you are pressing the buttons dealing punches and kicks to the monsters. I do believe his Final Heaven is totally animation, no one can run around Earth in 3 seconds, lol.

Would make travelling in game pretty redundant if Zell could piggy back the characters one at a time in under a minute.

Except that we see him do it. 😬

Edit: Also, FF8's planet isn't nearly as big as our's. The entire things like, only the size of Africa or something.

Yeah but Zell is awesome.

Therefore of course he can do it.

Where did you get that from?

You can fly around the whole thing in about 10 minutes. Of course that isn't to scale but when I was playing I remember it as not that big.

But the point is that battle animations aren't required to be realistic. Some of them may not be exaggerated, but a lot of them are. They aren't a solid base for determining what a character can and can't do, and can't be used as such.

In a battle animation? Like I said, they aren't accurate. They're just there to be cool looking.

I never said they are realistic. I said that not all the animations are unrealistic as Supernova or Blasting Zone and we can't use them to exclude the rest of the animations.

So, does anyone see a way for team FF8 to win? 131

If one of them had a fishing pole...

No offence, but you didn't design the game. You have no idea whats meant to be exaggerated or realistic. We see Zell physically run around the world, theres nothing to suggest he doesn't other than some peoples speculation, so I'm counting it and other non-impossible battle animations as accurate.

Zell punches his head off at 10,000 miles an hour. 😉

Zell punches his head off at 10,000 miles an hour.
1. Zell doesn't move at 10k per hour.
2. Stronger opponents have tried.

If Zell can run around the world in a few seconds, why is it that he doesn't just piggyback the party one by one to where they need to go?

Its probably really hard to change direction at that speed? I don't know. Why doesn't Link Hulk jump everywhere, he seems strong enough.

Ninja'd!

1. Zell doesn't move at 10k per hour.

It was an estimate.

2. Stronger opponents have tried.

Who?
