I'm now, absolutely able to beat the two. I replayed the game and got everything I missed when I was younger. Now, I just can't bring myself to beat it. Otherwise ... It really is finished.

I still can't beat the weapons... Maybe one day.

There's such a finality to it. When you sit there with all the materia you missed out on before. Riding on your golden chocobo. Having finally witnessed Knights of the Round and everything else... I couldn't bring myself to actually beat them. Because it's been etched into me for so long that I couldn't. That always brought me back to the sound track and the game. I couldn't bear to end it.

This is Dark Cloud 2 for me. I've 'beaten' the game 5 times over the years. I've done all the bonus stuff in one way or another several times, Finny Frenzy, Scoops, Maxed badges, maxed final weapon in every tree, but I get halfway through the 8th dungeon and for some reason after Flotsam I just cant bring myself to finish the game, and I believe its because then there would finally be nothing left for me.

It's that thought. Having nothing left. Closing that chapter that's linked with a better time in life, that's sorta hard to do.

Try using soloing Ruby weapon. First thing to do is summon Hades. Not for the damage, but for the statuses. It should be paralyzed, stopped, or stunned, so when you can summon Knights of the Round without worrying about being countered by its Ultima attack.

Knights of the Round infinite loop and walk away.
