Final Fantasy VII - Ruby Weapon (New Threat mod)

The battle against the superboss Ruby Weapon in the New Threat mod. The mechanics are somewhat different from the vanilla game. Now you no longer need to enter the battle with two KO'd party members to avoid Whirlsand. Paralyze cheesing no longer works in this mod, though.

My strategy: first, you need a setup where everyone survives the beginning of the battle. Cloud and Aerith have enough HP (Aerith has HP Plus) to survive, while I equipped Tifa with Protect Ring and Ziedrich. Then you need to set your defensive buffs up. After that, you'll need to survive until Ruby brings out his tentacles. Defeating the tentacles makes Ruby vulnerable to attacks, so then it's time to go all-out. I wanted to beat both Weapons without the typical Knights of the Round spam, so I used Limit Breaks instead.

Mods used: 7th Heaven mod manager, 60/30 FPS gameplay, several graphics, audio and UI mods from Tsunamods, Ninostyle character models, ReMusic and New Threat. The epic Weapon Raid music arrangement sounds like something from FF: Record Keeper.
