Expertise
TOPICS I can answer questions about: Game Strategy, Recommendations (based on age or genre preference), History of a game, Recalling a game you played, Game music, Company or Creator info, and System troubleshooting GENRES: My specialties are Adventure, RPG, Survival Horror, Action, and a small amount of Strategy and Puzzle. I avoid sports games like the plague, and have little interest in any racing games save for a few, F-Zero, Mario Kart and Wipeout being the main ones. Nor do I know many fighting games, mainly Bushido Blade and a few others. I am not much of a fan of First Person Shooters either. I am especially well versed in RPGs, particularly Final Fantasy and most of SquareEnix's other titles. GAMES: Not limited to the following. These games are series, and I know them all. There are MANY other individual ones. Feel free to ask and I will let you know if I can help you. Actraiser, Alundra, Breath of Fire, Bushido Blade, Castlevania, Chrono Trigger/Cross, Donkey Kong, Dragon Warrior/Quest, Drakkhen/Dragon View, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, King's Field, Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver, Mana, Mario, Mega Man, Metal Gear Solid, Ninja Gaiden, Metroid, Parasite Eve, Resident Evil, Rygar, Silent Hill, Spyro, Star Fox, Suikoden, Tomb Raider, TMNT, Wild Arms, Xenogears/Xenosaga, Zelda, and Zone of the Enders SYSTEMS: I have recently added the Wii and PSP to my collection. NES, Super NES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Gameboy Color, GBA, DS, PS1, PS2 and PSP plus computer, but I'm not really a big computer gamer. Systems I plan on getting in the future are XBOX 360 and eventually PS3 (When the price goes down...a lot) I am also a big fan of emulators on the PC. I have many of the old 8-bit and 16-bit systems and ROMS for my computer and know a lot about them. These include NES, Super NES, Genesis, Turbografx, MSX, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and GBA.

Experience
I have been a video gamer for nearly 20 years. I started with the original NES way back in 1988 and have owned or played nearly every popular console since then. I have completed hundreds of games and played thousands. I have a large file cabinet filled with hundreds of hand-made maps, lists, and various stategies for many of the games I have conquered in the past two decades. I subscribe to 5 different game magazines to keep up to date on the newest stuff out there. I would officially call myself an expert on the subject of videogames. And if I don't know the answer, I can find out about it and direct you to someplace that does.

Publications
Nintendo Power magazine, and I am thinking of writing for Gamegrene and GameFAQs in the future.

Education/Credentials
Experience with games baby, and lots of it. Nothing formal if that's what you're wondering. Just good old playing and reading.

Question
i don't know where to find elixirs for my battle with sephiroth
so i keep running out of  health and mp so i keep dying can you tell me how to get more elixirs?

Answer
Well ideally, you kept all the elixirs you've found throughout the game. This is a good strategy in any roleplaying game, conserving your most powerful resources until you TRULY need them. But as you have probably noticed, the end game bosses as well as the Colliseum Cups can quickly deplete that supply.
There a few options you can turn to to gain more for your bout with Sephy. The easiest way is to make them through synthesis. You can look through this synthesis faq for all the recipes to make the items in the shop. The elixir is a level 1 recipe and uses common ingredients.

You can also cross reference the ingredients needed with this enemy list which gives stats and drops for most of the monsters in the game.

There are a few heartless that drop elixirs when defeated. But most never have more than a 5% drop rate or so, so this is not an ideal way to get them. It would probably be much more time efficient to accumulate a large supply of the ingredients needed to synthesize them, then make a bundle all at one time. Wash, rinse and repeat.

Either way you plan on acquiring them, you should save before the battle with Sephy and if you lose, reset the game. This way, all the hard work you put into getting your stock of elixirs is not lost while you learn how to avoid and counter his attacks to beat him. He is hard and can kick your ass quite easily, so resetting between each attempt will allow you to keep trying without large breaks while you try and make more elixirs.

If I remember correctly, you should be able to soft reset the game by pressing start, select and the shoulder buttons all at one time. This will save you a little time between attempts for your elixir restock cheating. Good luck.
