This is a modded version of FFVII where enemies and bosses have more HP/MP and higher stats. It's not the same as FFVII Hard Core, which is a much harder and more professional mod. Don't ask me for a link to this mod, ever. If you know how the Internet works, you will find it.

I usually call this guy Pity Cloud, but he's got a lot more to be proud of this time. First of all, his attacks all deal 1000+ through back row and Sadness. That means the dreadful machinegun deals 2000. All these attacks can be used twice per turn and they are all physical, so they can go critical. Next, he's got a Defense boost from hell, so it's hard to deal heavy damage. And finally, he's got 96 grand of HP. Needless to say, this is going to be the most epic Proud Clod battle yet.

The best way to deal massive damage is to use Yuffie and her Conformer. In case you don't know, she deals more damage with it, the higher level the target has. However, with Proud Clod's extreme Defense, she won't be able to deal much damage without the Curse Ring. So, before Yuffie can start doing her thing, she needs to get killed by the Death Sentence. If you kill her before it reaches zero, the countdown will simply start over when you revive her.

Once Yuffie has been revived, you enter the worst part of the battle. I have a very limited stack of Light Curtains, so I have to wait until the first one wears out before I use another one. Besides, it would be a compelte mess if the characters' Barriers ran out at different times. However, as you give Hero Drinks to Yuffie, she can take more and more damage, so she can't die unless Proud Clod gets lucky or decides to be a dick and double attack her. He's also got an attack pattern, so I know when the machine gun comes.

Once the next Barrier is up and Yuffie is fully boosted, you can start the long process of depleting his 96k of HP. This part of the battle isn't too hard. When Proud Clod has a little more than 50% HP left, he starts using Beam Cannon every 9th turn. This is his only magical attack, but his magic stat seems to be untouched, so it's not very lethal. You need MBarrier, though. Cloud has the Aegis Armlet, which has an MDef% of 50, so it's got a 50% chance of missing him.

That's about all you need to know. The video is at 125% speed, as it simply couldn't be done in less than 11 minutes. Oh, and I accidentally saved over the file I had before the Turks, so I can's show them to you yet.
