I did not. That was ridiculous. It wasn't hard -- it's entirely luck based. You had to trigger a battle that was a 1/64 chance of showing up, which had a 1/4 chance of dropping an item, and that item had a 1/256 chance of being the Pink Tail you needed.
New av suspense is suspenseful. XD What colors are you going with? I'm thinking about tinkering with a new av myself, just haven't really had any inspiration. DX
I think those were my setups for the Dragon's Den, which was the bonus dungeon in the GBA edition. Though, at that point, I had even more broken weapons like Apocalypse and Save the Queen, but Lightbringer still held its own even then.
And you'd have to make certain characters for a challenge run, because a Terra/Celes/Edgar run would be insanely easy. That's pretty much what I did in the end, anyway, those three were so far above my other party members half the time I would just leave everyone dead and let them solo. Maybe a Mog/Relm/Umaro run. :P (the story won't let you not use Celes at the end, I'm pretty sure, though)
Oh? I can't wait to see the finished product. (Unless my browser's be special again. It used to do that all the time on crysandrea... I could refresh the page, but until I cleared my cache, my av wouldn't change on my profile or in the forums.)
