Lauren:
Well, it's kinda hard to tell how to beat Sephiroth. U mainly need to just try to beat the crap out of him. But here are some tips that'll help ya:
RULE ONE: Make sure u are at least level 60. It'll b much easier if u r a higher level, but if u are pretty good, 60 will probably b fine. If u aren't so good, just go for level 80.
RULE TWO: Make sure u have a good amount of magic. U will need it to cure yourself. Also, I don't really use aero, but if u absolutely need it, then use it so Sephiroth won't beat the crap out of ya.
RULE THREE: It is best to have Curaga!!! Unless if u have no problem goin' to the item select, then u'll need Curaga.
RULE FOUR: Make sure to put Cure, and Aero if needed, in the shortcut menu.
RULE FIVE: When Sephiroth casts the magic move when the halo goes around your head, SUPERGLIDE TOWARDS HIM! Don't run or roll to him. U'll die. Trust me.
RULE SIX: In the beginning, u'll hafta keep wackin' Sephiroth untill his little armor thing goes away, and u can actually take away his life. When he disappears, roll away so he can't hit u, and immediatally roll back to him and KNOCK THE CRAP OUT OF HIM!!! Yea-YEAH!
RULE SEVEN: Carry LOTS of Elixers, just in case if u lose all of ur magic. B careful, though, 'cause it's hard to use an item when fightin' Sephiroth.
RULE EIGHT: I dunno 'bout u guys, but I always use the strongest sword I have against Sephiroth instead of one with lots of magic (I use the Ultima Weapon! haha! I love that sword!) So if u run out of magic too fast, try to use a sword that'll raise MP, but is strong. Otherwise, just go for the strongest one u have.
RULE NINE: When putting accessories on your sword, make sure u put ones that raise max MP and max HP.
RULE TEN: If u feel comfortable with usin' an ability move, like Ragnark, then make sure u have just one ability move chosen on the screen. Don't choose two, or u might not c the one u want all the time.
Other than this, just wield that sword, and knock the crap out of him! Just keep wackin', just keep wackin', wackin', wackin', what do we do? We wack...
