    It's probably still God Hand for me but ULTIMATE DAMAGE is pretty cool too

    I think...I THINK he may be comparing Luminaire from Chrono Trigger to God Hand from Persona 4.

    @Cloudenvy:

    I thought he was referencing the game God Hand. Was the Persona 4 God Hand a Luminaire-esque "kill everything on screen" thing that Jeff & Vinny spammed like crazy?

    @Video_Game_King: Not really, No.

    God Hand is a spell that does a lot of damage to a single target, especially if you power up the caster's attack power.

    God Hand was done by Chie. So God Hand is better then any attack.

    Megidolaon or Agneyastra would probably make for a better comparison.

    @Rehtayne:They might be more comparable in function, but neither of them are a match in badassery.

    Luminaire isnt even ultimate damage. Its just lightning 3

    Magnus on the other hand has way better ultimate dark spells, give him the gold or silver stud and nothing much can take more than a round

    I just say, let Crono and Chie share a Dual Tech that requires both Luminaire and God Hand.

    Someone needs to figure out what this would even look like.

    It'd probably look like someone getting bitch-slapped by Unicron.

    @crossfear: There's PSN for that?  My only PS2 port I've gotten so far. 
     
    Also I would have to go with Luminaire, as much as I love God Hand. Sorry Chie, but I just find Luminaire cooler.

    Ooh, I thought you meant God Hand as in some Chrono Trigger tech I'd not heard of.

    Both make up my boss fight strategy. I'm gonna have to go with God's Hand though cos 1) it's a skill of Chie's 2) Power Charge + Tarukaja + God's Hand and 3) it looks awesome.

    If you'd made it Bucca's Flare it would've been more tricky. Man, I loved that tech.

    Obviously God Hand. Jeff and Vinny's reactions to first seeing it was absolutely hilarious. And God Hand is giant yellow fist that comes out of nowhere and punches the enemy on top of their head. It's an easy choice.

    I think it's kinda funny how Ryan and Patrick are acting like they discovered the super secret way to win at Chrono Trigger, when in reality if took them ages to figure out that the gold stud should be on Crono and even longer to realize that Luminaire is worth using.

    Luminaire hits multiple enemies and can drain next to zero MP with the right equipment.

    But God Hand is a Chie ability, so...

    I think God Hand wins, by default.

    God Hand is a pretty good game, it has some crazy cutscenes.
