I want a screenshot of Diablos' battle! One of my favorite GFs! I usually get him at lvl9-10. Is it possible in earlier lvls too? He is touph!
Anything's possible at any level, really. I've got a ton of cards ready to be refined to make me very powerful early on but I've just got the Magic Lamp so I'm gonna take him on next and kick his arse.
If there's any screens in particular people would like me to take a shot of, just say so.
I always liked this bit. Quistis showing who's boss.
My crappy SeeD exam results!
Finally, it took me maybe 3 hours-ish, I think, but I've now got the 20 Elnoyle cards I need to put towards crafting Lionheart. Just under 6 hours playtime, and ready to go to Timber.
I wanted to share some notes that I wrote down a couple of years or so ago about important cards to choose when you win card games. These craft into very useful items and strong magic that help you become strong quickly, and will help throughout the whole game.
In particular, Tornados are some of the strongest magic in the game to equip to Str-J, and very easy to get hold of by winning Abyss Worm cards. Meltdown magic is another very important one to get, as it reduces all enemy defense to zero, and is a good junction magic. Triple and Full Life are easy to get and very useful. And Death is also extremely easy to get hold of and perfect to equip to Status Attack-J to inflict Death with attacks if you want to LV up characters/GFs.
I've cleaned the notes up so they're easier to read. Basically, you have the card name on the left, then it tells you what item it refines into using the Card Mod ability, and then the magic said item refines into using the listed RF ability.
For example, as written below, 1 Mesmerize card will refine into 1 Mermerize Blade with Card Mod, and that will refine into 20 Regen magic using the L-Mag RF ability.
I also jotted down cards that help in getting the Doomtrain GF, so if you do happen to see an Elastoid or Malboro card, might as well pick them to save on trying to fight certain monsters to get those items. Also noted that Tents refine into Curagas, so a very easy high LV magic to get from those too.
Should be very useful to those wanting to get powerful. If you need further help, just ask.

If anyone's curious about the cards I used in my few hours of play to get 20 Elnoyle cards, they were as below:
Ifrit (from defeating him in Fire Cavern)
Seifer (won from Cid after you go back inside 3F of B-Garden after becoming a SeeD and when you're supposed to go to Timber)
MiniMog (from the boy running around B-Garden)
Malboro (from Cid or Dr Kadowaki)
Elnoyle (from Cid or Dr Kadowaki)
Cid and Dr Kadowaki are the 2 main people you need to play cards with to get the Elnoyle cards. You could just stick with playing Cid really, because he holds Seifer anyway, but I also started playing versus Dr Kadowaki before I was able to play against Cid so I could get a few strong cards from her too. Before playing her, the gatekeeper of B-Garden is a good person to play against to get a few good cards early on too. Then you can move on to Kadowaki. It takes ages to sometimes even see an Elnoyle and I gave up with Cid after a while and changed to playing Kadowaki, but it seemed to make little difference. Just gotta be patient. The 5 cards I used above, once I got them all, gave me almost guaranteed wins every time and were very safe cards to use.
I want a Lionheart on Disc One! Please elaborate on it if you achieve it!
