Oh, did you think this series was done? Yeah, so did I, but then @vl6034 reminded me that the Friendly Yan exists. As you can see from the levels, this was by far the hardest fight in the whole challenge. The Friendly Yan only has one attack (BAAAHHH!!!) which is a strong multi-target physical attack that annoyingly also inflicts Silence. It will use this attack both on its own turn and as a counter to any attack used against it. All of its defensive stats are 255 which means the only realistic way I can deal any real damage to it is with Frog Drop.
Before the Yan becomes aggressive I have enough time to move everyone to the back row and cast Mighty Guard. Every round after the Yan has baad its first baa I have Zidane throw an Echo Screen on Eiko, Amarant throw an Echo Screen on Quina and Eiko cast Cura on the party. Quina cycles between Frog Drop, White Wind, Mighty Guard and Elixir on self in that order. It takes seven Frog Drops to win and I counted the Frog Drops so I could save some rounds at the end of the fight by simply dropping the seventh frog immediately after the sixth.
Pretty simple strategy, but very stressful to execute. Quina is very slow, and at level 70 with base stats (speed stat = 21) it's just barely possible to get one Quina turn in between every BAAAHHH!!!. I have to hold the ATB as much as possible when the Yan's ATB is filling, and make sure I don't hold the ATB at all during the BAAAHHH!!! animation to let Quina's ATB fill as much as possible before the Yan's ATB starts moving again. Quina's Spirit stat is also very low which makes her Mighty Guard wear off very quickly, so I also hold the ATB to not waste precious Mighty Guard time.
I made sure Eiko's Trance gauge was partially filled, so that she'd get her Trance at some point during the fight. Getting some Double Curas in there was necessary for Eiko and Zidane to survive until the end, since they were losing more HP than I was healing back every round (on average). I was also able to skip one of the Elixirs on Quina thanks to the Double Curas.
The party's levels:
Eiko: 70
Zidane: 70
Quina: 70
Amarant: 70
