This feels more like the WoW community all the time with the "git gud" comments. Really? Is it so hard to be.... helpful? Encourage people? I guess it must be.

OP: I've had things like that happen before. It shows it should be dead on your end but for some reason it just keeps going. It sucks, and it's frustrating for sure, but just keep trying. You'll get it. If you were THAT close and you just needed a few more seconds, eat some food or make sure you've got some materia in your gear. Sometimes it can make all the difference when you're banging your head against something.

Best of luck to you!
