Oo that sucks.

Well...to be fair...you didn't kill him.


The regular bombs react differently to normal attacks, magic attacks, and weapon skills. Maybe you need to use a different strategy to prevent the Self-Destruct.

[Haru]

Maybe you need to rethink your post.
This guy has 50,000hp theres no way to stop him self-destructing..
In fact he does it up to 5 times during the fight.
The problem is he died from his own explosion which also deals him damage.

In every other FF game you are still awarded the kill and items if it dies by self-destruct.
