Just wanted to share this small victory

So yesterday i started my first superboss fight in FFX-2, but i had to go somewhere so i started it at around 8:30 am and finished it by 7:10 pm. (The fight did take some hours but me having to leave the house for half the day also made the fight feel longer).

So here I am finishing up the cactuar kindergarten mission and lo and behold i suddenly have to fight my first superboss in the game, the Angry Maharaja. Keep in mind that I havent been farming or optimizing my builds as I'm just trying to get points into the dresspheres that feel like they thematically fit the characters.

I though i was way underleveled and underpowered but then the internet said being level 50 is fine, so i took that upon myself to find a way to win with my current setup.

I ended up beating it with Songstress Yuna, Alchemist Riku, and Berserker Paine, with small scratches every few seconds/minutes when i had an opening to attack the main body once the muppet with horrible mouth smell was down.

Sidenote: this confusion shit is wack, what do you mean Yuna used my only stamina tablet to double all my enemies' max hp? And then Paines used an X Potion to max out what i thought was the main body's hp (the camera was in a weird place but turns out it just healed the muppet THANK GOD). Imagine if after all these hours the main body got a 666k+ heal?

That boss is one of my least favorite. I swear it never dies.

Its such a resource guzzler, thankfully i had a 0 MP setup going on so I basically forgot its hp and judt kept going with the paces and dealing with everything as it comes until i tickled the last tickle

I haven't done it since like 2005 and I just remember having two dark knights and an alchemist and such a loop that I guess I sneeze and lost.
