Challenge created by Tonfa. Rules:
- Only one GF may be junctioned at any time
- Only one character is allowed at any point. Squall is default. You are allowed to choose someone else for the sections where he isn't available.
- No Rare Card Refining
- No Limit Scumming
- Cannot use abilities or items that will otherwise provide permanent stat boosts (no bonus or X Up items)

Marks the end of the challenge. For once, Ulty is actually competent. This fight actually took about 8 resets (3 for testing each of the GFs and 5 honest attemps) before everything fell into place. You can read about the details at rpgdl.com. The tl;dr version:

- The two key attacks that have to be avoided at all costs are Shockwave Pulsar and Apocalypse. It is possible to tank through both, but with Ulty blowing away your magic, there is no guarantee you'll have everything intact through the fight. So getting less reliance on certain junctions is preferred.
- Each GF has it's own weakness, but for this fight, Brothers' weakness is the easiest to mitigate.
- Good offense is needed at all times to get through each of the forms to reduce the amount of magic lost.
- ATB speed set back to slowest to reduce AI ATB cheating.
