re: #285 lazardo
I’m dead certain that a previous Final Fantasy before 7 had characters trying to heal a terminally injured person with Phoenix Downs, and it not working, so there is a precident.
And again, Sephiroth didn’t quite get to being a god. Kefka on the other hand did. Kefka was too incompetant to keep it. Probably as a result of being bat guano crazy.
