[Ashley Schovitz]

On another FF site I saw that Seifer Almasy has two limit breaks that I've never seen, before one called Reverse Zantetsuken and another called Bloodfest. From what I remembered playing the game, Seifer did No Mercy when you had him as an ally, and he did Demon Slice where does Bloodfest and Reverse Zantetsuken occur?

[Mr. Burns]

They're both used in the last fight on disc 3, in the Lunactic Pandora. If you have Odin, he will appear at that start of battle and Seifer will use Reverse Zantetesuken. If you don't have Odin, and fight that battle normally, Seifer will use Bloodfest when he gets low on HP.

[boys from the dwarf]

i wouldn't call that reverse zantetesuken a limit break.

when you control seifer and have him use his fire cross and no mercy, he casts a fire spell before doing the limit break. he casts the same fire spell before doing demon slice and bloodfest so they are pretty much limit breaks.

He has 2 limit breaks? I didn't know that XD

Not two, three. Four if you count the Reverse Zantetsuken.

1. No Mercy (you can use it when you have seifer as your ally)

2. Demon Slice (when you fight him the first time in disc 2 he uses it pretty often so watch out a little)

3. Bloodfest (he only uses it during the fight in Lunatic Pandora when you cut his HP down to a certain amount and can wipe out your whole field)

4. Reverse Zantetsuken (only happens when you have Odin before fighting him, he will use it when Odin tries to kill him but Odin himself gets killed instead. The sword will fly into the sky and someone will catch it. At this time, it is highly recommended that you devote all your turns to drawing tons of Auras from him with occasional healing from Seifer's bloody attacks, and since you are not attacking him, he won't use his Bloodfest. After a few turns, some weird guy with four left arms will come down and speak some crap and tells Seifer to taste his blade. You win the battle instantly because he blows Seifer out of the battlefield. That is Gilgamesh, some weird GF that likes to collect swords. Later on, Gilgy will replace Odin and will come out at random at ANYTIME during ANY BATTLE. This nifty strategy I use gives you minimal potion/curaga spamming when you can instantly win the battle a few turns later without getting too hurt or low on magic to fight Adel.)

Wow that's pretty bad ass I'll have to try that sometime.

I wouldn't advise it. Gilgamesh sucks. Odin is so much better. He can't appear during bosses, but he shows up far more often.

Well, if it's Adel's case or other later bosses in Ulty's Castle, then yeah, he sucks.

EXAMPLES:

1. You were fighting Adel. Gilgy appears in some weird fashion like he came out of a pool of mud and he uses - guess what - Masamune/Excalibur. KABOOM!! Down goes Rinoa...... GAME OVER.

2. You were fighting Tiamat(the dark copy of Bahamut), and you are losing. Gilgy appears and you were like "YEAH! GILGY WILL COME AND SAVE THE DAY!!" and then to your utter total dismay, he uses Zantetsuken. ZING!! Whole screen gets cut in half and then it shows that the attack missed.

3. You were fighting Sphinxara and you see Gilgy appear. You would like him to end it quickly because you don't want to waste time. He then uses - ExcaliPOOR. 1 damage dealt = NOOB ATTACK YUH - DUH!!
