The moment I saw her in my party I had Freya impale her. Words can't describe the satisfaction I got from seeing her HP hit zero.

So who else killed her? Or am I alone in this act of gleeful homicide?

(it's not that I hate her...I just hate not being able to kill her in our encounters :wacky:)

ha ha ha ha!
 
OH SHI-

It's actually possible to kill her? I didn't know that. I guess my party is usually just really n00bish around that point in the game to actually kill her.
 
No, Tmoo is talking about the brief time that she joins you. When she's fighting on your side.
 
I think he means when
Beatrix betrays Brahne and Beatrix temporarily joins your backup party of (at the time) just Freya

When I get my system back from my friend and pick back up on my replay, I'm doing just this. Or maybe I'll be sadistic about it and let the foes take her out. Whatever will make that HP disappear.

I do kind of hate her, because you can't defeat her in the regular encounters. It's so unsatisfying, and so disappointing.

I still remember the very first time I faced her (when I was much younger). I thought I was doing pretty well... Then my party members abruptly and simultaneously dropped to that dreadful 1 HP. So then I thought I wasn't prepared enough. In response, I leveled up, and even made sure they started the battle on the very verge of Trance. I can't tell you how much damage I must've inflicted on that witch before realizing how futile an effort it was.
 
She does have set hp as a boss. With her you either need to last a few rounds or deplete her hp to zero. The result is still the same for the sake of the story though. But she can technically be beaten. Just without the satisfaction of seeing her die.
 
Hm, I didn't really hate Beatrix enough to kill her on purpose. When she joined the party, I was basically wowed by the fact. After all, during the various encounters, she would always flaunt those skills of hers. Those skills with the super cool names that Steiner at the time could not master.

So, when she joined me, I went trigger happy with those skills, and used Ether like there was no tomorrow. The thought of killing her never once crossed my mind.

Not to mention she has the strongest weapon in game. Beats Excalibur II. I believe it has a base of 25 and gains one pointer per level of the char it's equipped to. So at level 99 that's 124 attack. Where Excalibur II is 105 or so.
 
As if you killed her while she was in your party, thats just cruel its the type of thing you shouldn't laff at. . . but i found that quite amusing, now i am going to have to kill her, just to get that satisfaction of watching her HP hit 0 and watch her lie on the floor dead. . . . BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


thanks for the idea
 
Even though you can't really beat her, it might be worth the effort to bulk up your characters before facing her - she has awesome items to steal ^^

I admit the idea to attack her while she was in my party never came to me, and I wasn't so hung up over not seeing her get KOed to just do it for the hell of it xD
 
I never killed Beatrix while she was in my party but on every playthrogh she dies at least once and its really annoying!! But im not much of a vengeful type so that might be why i did not want to kill her. Actually i just wanted to progress the story so i just killed the enemies and moved on

Does bulking up even affect your steal rate?

I know your initial ratio of stealing her uber rare items is like 1/256. Zidane's bandit ability, if I recall correctly, halves that 256 to give you a 1/128 ratio, which is by far better than any increase in chance or rate that "Spirit" supposedly gives you.

B'sides, you get most (if not all) of her items shortly after the fight with her.

...I say all this, and I still totally went for some of the items (and came out successful with some too).

Ugh, just adds up my reasons to want to kill her.
 
Beatrix is one of my favourite characters from FFIX so I will never kill her when she's on my side. Like, she's totally awesome anyway, all her attacks and such, and so I just think killing her like that is a bit pointless when she can be so helpful to your party.

to be honest, i really do like her character. but before her revelation, i think we can all agree that she was a total b****. not being able to kill her as an enemy would have been easier to take if it weren't for her incessant gloating of how inept my party is (i train hard dammit!). and to top it all off, her finishing moves are hax, always taking my party down to 1 hp no matter how hard i fight. it brings a tear to my eye, such mockery of my hard work and turn-based combat expertise ;_;

but i killed her (three times), so it's all good :awesome:
 
Actually i never killed her but it's something i might try someday, i found unfair that i could never finish her off and that she would always best my party with a single attack just when it seemed i was about to win, and that happened just for plot reasons which i found absurd.

When Steiner teams up with her to fight those Mist beasts i actually allowed her to die, i could have healed her but i chose not to do it and prefered to keep attacking with Steiner.

I never liked Beatrix, the sudden change of personality never convinced me.

And i understand what you mean by bulking up your characters, it's true that in order to steal her items you need to level up and raise the characters stats or else you won't have a chance to beat her and she will kill the party with Thundershock or another nasty HP consuming attack.
 
It's not a sudden change of personality with Beatrix, you can see after the destruction of Cleyra that she has doubts about her actions, but puts aside any personal feelings because she feels she must be loyal to her queen. Why anyone would choose to kill her or not heal her out of petty vindictiveness is beyond me.
 
Like i said it's a pretty sudden change, one moment she is a cold heart soldier who knows no mercy and laughs at someone opposing her, the next she is questioning her motives, that's pretty sudden and i did not buy it for a second.

And it's only natural people would try and kill her since in every fight you have with her you can never do it purely due to plot reasons, which is pretty annoying, at least in my opinion it is.
 
Wow, this thread made me giggle. :wacky:

The idea, like many other people, didn't even cross my mind. Whenever I get to that stage again, I may just kill her since she was so hard to beat. Isn't she the only enemy you can't beat and yet not have a game over? However, saying that, she was a good ally to have when she betrayed Brahne.

Really? I found it very believeable. I don't see any suddenness behind it, you can well believe Beatrix is the sort of character who would have been assailed by doubts as Brahne made her conquests (they don't have to give you her entire character backstory to make that clear), but she tried to put them aside as like Steiner she felt she had to serve Alexandria first and foremost. And I think anyone would re-think their actions once they learnt that their ruler planned to execute her own daughter.

And I have no idea why it's annoying that you can't beat her in a fight. It's meant to illustrate what a good fighter she is. 'Only natural' to want to kill her? Only if you're pretty childish.
