This is the big one. What we have here is a difficult and luck reliant battle, and I can't say I've been looking forward to it. Once you sleep in Junon, you lose control of your party, so there's no way to get Fury for Aerith here. In other words, you're stuck with very limit healing again and combined with Jenova's very unpredictable attacking, that's a big problem.

ATTACK PATTERN TIME!

1. Laser (1, 2 or 3 times)
2. Tail Laser (1 or 2 times)
3. W-Laser (1, 2 or 3 times)
4. Nothing
5. Gas (50% chance)
6. Stop
7. Nothing
8. Nothing
9. Repeat

All the attacks are physical, but they can't go critical. She can also begin at Stop, and that's what you want her to do. You also want her to miss, so that you can attack as many times as possible before she reaches the laser part. This is irrelevant unless you get the first turn, though. You will waste a lot of time if you have to use the limit breaks after Stop.

If Stop misses, you get to attack 12 times before you have to put the characters in back row for the lasers. You really want to be in back row here, because this is where things get ugly. She can attack three times with Laser and W-Laser, and that really hurts if she decides to go after a single character. Thankfully, she hits the entirey party most of the time when she uses it three times. You also have to be very specific about how you attack here, to get as many turns as possible between her turns. Have Cloud and Red attack first and you will get five turns if Aerith uses Flame Thrower in the middle.

If you make it through the lasers, there's a 50% chance she'll use Gas. It deals about 90 damage and only hits one target, so it's not a big deal if she uses it. It's a bigger deal if she manages to stop someone on the next turn. If someone is low on HP at this point, it's a good idea to have that someone defend when you see who the target is, as that someone will be out of function far into the next laser phase. It's usually not a big problem if someone does get stopped. Thankfully, she can only use Stop three times before she runs out of HP.

If you make it through three laser phases, you're most likely home safe. Dealing enough damage is not a problem thanks to Flame Thrower and limit breaks. You just gotta hope nothing bad happens when you have to get rid of the boys. Aerith must be the sole survivor here.
