Hey, I don't know about the rest, but I think I can help you out on this one. You have to steal from the yellow dragon earlier in the game, and get his yellow armor. It absorbs earth attacks. If you play through more than once, steal every time from every dragons for more armor. Equip as many characters as possible with yellow armor before fighting Criosphinx, and every other turn, his earth attack will fully heal you. Makes him quite the pushover.

I notice people on the board and in real life mentioning that the conclusion of Xenogears was the hardest fighting ever, or at least the hardest RPG fighting. This will probably spoil just a little, but I'll keep it to a minimum. I know the secret. It's magic. And expensive. But maybe it can help people. First of all, get 3 GNR500's for Fei, each of which give you 50% increase in engine output . Second, get Fei the Omega 100 engine, which gives him only 1000 fuel, but an insane amount of output, therefore giving him insane damage. For armor, I recommend the Z alloy 800/30... It's 800 normal AR and 300 ether AR. Yes, 300. Equip it and see for yourself. It doesn't SAY 300, but the stat will increase by 300 all the same. These items can be bought in the lighthouse from the merchant, for a lot of money. And now, give Fei's character (not gear) speed shoes if you have them. They give his gear the haste effect when he wears them while piloting. You cannot buy them anywhere. That way, you can ignore booster. Now, grasshopper, you are ready. Get to the end battles. Easier said than done, but www.gamefaqs.com has excellent strategy guides. One of them may have done my trick already. If so, know that I did this on my own, and do not mean to steal from anyone. Anyway, go straight to the fight with [insert boss name here], and ignore his four "supports." Make damn sure Fei is ready. Then waste the sucker. Just hit him repeatedly with Fei and he goes down like a sack of potatoes. No need to heal. Fei kills him too quickly. Then, just let Fei attack constantly for any further battles you may or may not have to fight. Hope that helps anyone having trouble, didn't ruin the game for anyone, and didn't take too long.

Yes she did. You had to get it in the burning house scene thing. I won't bore you with detail, but check it out at www.gamefaqs.com. As for a boss... I'll have to say the Soul Reaver 2 boss fights. Yes, you are witnessing extreme sarcasm now. Do not worry, your vision will return in time. But seriously... it would have to be a boss fight from a fighting game. I think we can all agree that fighting game bosses result in more broken controllers than any other genre.

In a word - epic. I loved the mix, not in the least because I'm playing Xenogears now. I love to hear good orchestral remixes and this certainly fits the bill. I won't go into detail about the song, just listen to it. It stays true to the original theme, but adds so much more. On my rating scale of "A" to "F", this one gets a 10.
