Maester Seymour Flux (FFX)

[Kerriek]

I am stuck!! I have downloaded hints etc and they don't seem to be much help on how to beat Maester Seymour Flux. I don't want to cheat, call me funny, but any advice on what spells, weapons I need to use etc would be greatly appreciated. I have the feeling that I may have to have smaller battles to advance more on the sphere grid to get some more goodies. Any advice would be greatly welcome because I am sick of having to go through the movie before the battle time and time again!!!!! Thanks.
