You mean a Cactuar.

He is a monster. He serves no other purpose.

He appers in multiple FF games, and is usually difficult to find and/or beat. It is known for its 1000 needles attack.

.... are you just looking for something to post in here, or what?

I've never seen the guy in those games. No im not looking for stuff to post, I've wondered this for a great time now. Maybe too long. I think when The Bouncer first came out i was curious cuase my GI had a pic of the Cactuar(sp?) with a no smoking sign on it. I had no idea what it was until i heard it was from Final Fantasy. Well now i know. Is it in FF8 though by any chance? Cuase im getting 8 soon, and im curious if its there.

Well, in FF8, there is the GIANT Cactuar, which you can get as a GF.

He appears in FF7 I believe, I don't remember seeing him in 6, or 5, and I do remember him in 7, so you can just say he is from 7 and don't worry about it.

Really though, it seems like you are just trying to get your post count up, and also... ACS means nothing, don't chance a ban for it...

He was indeed in FF6, and went by the name "Cactrot" in the US version.

The famed 1000 Needle attack, called "Blowfish" in the translation, was learnable by Stragos as a blue magic spell.

He was located in a desert somewhere in the world of ruin. Forgot where, but there can't be THAT many deserts.

Hes just one of those famous reused enemies that have always shown up in just about every FF game in existence. Similarly how Dragon Warrior/Quest games always have the same damned Slime enemy when you first begin your adventure to level off of.

I remember in FFVI they were pretty hard to hit, but if you successfully killed them before they ran away you got a ton of Gil and a whopping 10 Magic Points.

They also appears in Crystal Chronicles, they jump around in their running pose in a very odd way. And they're quite weak in that game too. IIRC.

I hadn't played any of the Playstation FF's...

Heh, "Slime monsters" appears in alot of games for some reason... thought Dragon quest probably was one of the first RPG's with that monster.

I know you learn "1,000 Needle's" for Quina's Blue Magick. (FFIX)... They were pretty strong monsters in IX... Tonberry's are much more l337

He's an evasive lil fsck most times. FF8's Giant Cactuar Junction/Summon was rather nice though if you got him maxed (10000 damage), but then Eden beats him out.

He was in the one flash that I linked to in Crazy just recently: 'Final Fantasy Fugitive'.

God knows how in the hell you get GF's to hit Cactuars before they start running. I just equipped Squall with Auto-Haste, junctioned Ultima to Attack, and Water to Elem-Atk and went to town on the little buggers.

Jumbo Cactuar's also good for stocking up on Meltdown, which I always throught was one of the coolest-looking spells ever.

Yeah, you forgot to mention FF6 and FFX-2. They're either insanely easy or insanely difficult depending on the game.

The Giant Cactuar fight in FF8 was one of the only really cool parts of the game. I liked it because it was a difficult fight, I must've taken half an hour to beat him.

Maybe I was just REALLY weak... Was he supposed to be hard?
