Your strategy worked great. Thanks! I would recommend to others to make slight alterations to materia selection based on personal preference. I replaced First Strike with Refocus, & Ice with HP Up (Aerith), MP Up (Tifa), & something else on Cloud. Not a fan of the wind up time on Ice. Save your Limit Breaks for double blade (think Darth Maul) & for when you are ready to close out the fight. Oh, I went with different weapons on Cloud & Tifa, Twin Stinger & Purple Pain.

>>2 You can farm Force Bracelets from swordipede, but you can also substitute chain bangle if you needed. Some of the materia in the recommended materia is not 100% required and can be cut if you do not have the slots or the materia.

>>1 The Gotterdammerung actually still does have an effect, although it is reduced. Instead of instantly giving you full Limit Break right away it will be half. This will make sure that you have your limit break sooner.

bullet time and focus strike makes easy cheese

You are recommending limited-quantity armor pieces for more characters than are possible. The only way to make your material recommendations actually possible is to have a third character equip a Geometric Bracelet. Everything else will be short on slots.

It says in the mission that Gotterdammerung has no effect in this, so why you are still recommend people to wear it?
