Magic pops it.

I've played FFVII about a dozen times, and I still don't know what the strategy is for this fucker. Sometimes I sleepwalk through the fight, other times he takes a shit all over me. I know he transforms depending on what you hit him with to knock him past half health, but it just seems so arbitrary that I don't know how you plan for it.

Well first you cast chocomog and then you spam attack until he dies because the stop lasts so long that he won't ever break out of it

Aeris uses Seal Evil
Cloud uses Cross Slash

He literally tells to try and break it how can you be so retarded. How did you possible come to the conclusion that you were told to do the opposite

Alexander is the party's only source of Holy damage too.

na, one of the town npcs tells you about a witch who lives up in the mountains in a cave, or that cottage guy before you start climbing up the crater, i forget which part that snow section is in.

It was kinda neat figuring out that you could use Alexander and Elemental to give yourself a Holy weapon, even if almost nothing is weak against it. It's a shame that no other games have used the Materia system- it's simple, but you can do a lot with it.

Was it just a joke? What was the point of him being happy?

I thought it was about taking damage. I had Cover on Barret for almost the whole game and he had his final limit.

I never hot passend sephiroth, even though I hot the ribbon. What Level did you actually need If you don't have KOTR?

Wow nice I just started playing this. Just attack the pyramid bro

Cloud has to kill 320. It's less for every other party member.

Depends on what characters, they're not all the same kill amount

What did he mean by this?

Attached: giphy (4).gif (480x270, 1.07M)

I think it's 300 enemies to get your level 3. It's nearly impossible to get while playing normally since dungeons are short and most enemies don't attack in large groups, but it doesn't take long to grind out. The best place to do it is in the upper-right room of the mine in-between Fort Condor and the swamp with the Midgar Zolom. Almost every encounter there has four or five weak enemies that you can kill with one Matra Magic.

LifeAlert get on this. WE CAN'T LOSE user

Sephiroth's final form is throttled depending on how well you do against Jenova Synthesis. Intentionally kill two of your party members when fighting her and you'll make the subsequent fight easier. Drop KOTR on her and he'll have a fuckload of extra health. That sort of thing. But generally speaking, you want to bring the Destruct Materia along to break his Wall. Access to the Big Guard and White Wind Enemy Skills are as helpful there as they are in the rest of the game.

They stopped being competent midway through disc 1.

I liked wutai so sue me

Put it this way OP, I didn't even know this could happen. Maybe its just you.

I haven't replayed FFVII in years but the part I remember the most was Hojo being on the beach with a bunch of girls and he just has a chat with the party because he's on vacation. What a bizarre scene.

Is Tifa the /fit/test FF girl?

Yuffie's ultimate weapon is pretty great in that it's not tied to your max health or limit break bar or some shit and just scales up with the level of whoever you're fighting. I'm pretty sure I had the easiest time taking out all the bosses from Proud Clod up to Sephiroth with that thing in a few turns with Added Cut paired with Ultima or some shit..

No. Play (i.e. Watch) Before Crisis. She's in hiding from Shinra among the common populace.

Speaking of which:
They were still over halfway competent in BC, but yes I still remember them from the original. It was great.

If fat braphogs are considered fit, sure. Yuffie is fit.

>Worst party member
If you are an idiot maybe. She is so stupid strong even speedrun autismos use her. Her limitbreak is god tier and instead of being a tradeoff like a lot of others (blade beam vs cross slash etc) it is just a straight upgrade
>b-but it can miss
If you fucking suck maybe, even a yeah on the first two is very strong up until like end of disc 2 shit, and there is no way you should be missing those at all

I hope they reference this in the remake 16 years from now

there are very few summons which are actually useful, but chocomog is one of them because it's both a source of stop and like the only wind-element attack the player has access to.

Deathblow materia + God's Hand

>Aeris(lmao)
Really? Just load her up with Magic/Summon Materia and she'll nuke groups even better than Cloud could.

She doesn't really have much muscle tone on top of her lean, athletic build. Faris, Lani and Fang at least have her beat.

To be fair a vast majority of the bosses by that stage of the game are fucking shit anyway outside of the weapons and Carry Armor. Proud Clod is an absoluie joke

Cait Sith can literally kill any boss in the game no problem. Vincent and Red XIII are by far the worst. Aeris completely trivializes disc 1 (even in hard type hacks) because healing wind is absolutely fuckbroken

Now I understand why RPG devs dumb down the mechanics and battle system, little timmy might get confused with too much going on at the same time. That's why R-18 RPGs are the best, they don't compromise on gameplay and dialogue because they know their teen audience is old enough to read.

And what faggoty shit do you think Advent Children started? Bad character design? Over emphasis on action? The inciting incident in FFX is the main character doing a 20 ft. backflip that gets interrupted by explosions and features a secondary character with a skirt made of belts.

Deepest lore

Spirits Within was a HUGE flop but Squaresoft was already back in the green thanks to the big successes of FFX and KH. This was BEFORE the Enix merger. One of the members of the board even warned then that they no longer had any reason to go through with the merger and it would be harmful in the longrun because the production style of the two companies was incompatible, but they shut him up by giving him more money.

FF4 is gay as hell

More interesting than 3 and 5's job system, which was flawed in many ways with several jobs being underwhelming/useless, let's not even get into the trainwreck of design decision that was 6, the game was fine until you got espers and everyone became a "choose your favorite sprite"

I'm blanking on an enemy but wasn't there one that just flailed around, would slither around the battlefield and would not do anything?

They alternate between needing a set number of uses and kills to unlock more limit breaks. IIRC kills unlock the x-1 limts and uses unlock the x-2

Does it look better than playing it on ps3?

>everyone became a "choose your favorite sprite"
I like the materia system more than the esper system but don't act like it wasn't "choose your favorite characters/limitbreaks to hold your party of materia". My first time playing it a couple years back I used Cid as my dedicated healing/magic dude and I was actually a bit surprised to find out that he's apparently the 'worst' at it because there didn't seem to be any noticeable difference after I slapped all the materia on him.

Wrong. Spirits Within is actually a good movie. Sakaguchi just forgot his fans are absolute retards and spoiled children

Nope, it's actually raw shit, good guess though.

Nah, its top 6.

They referenced it in XIV. While you run towards the boss a npc on the side yells at you to "attack it while it's tail's up." Then a few seconds later after you've most likely already ran past him he says "and it will counter!"

My friend, by that time you should have 3 Ribbons by finding them or morphing Master Tonberries. Use Yuffie's Conformer ultima weapon for 100% damage on morph.

Yes this sometimes happens irl as there can be other things on the road to kalm

they were always that you just couldn't tell

I was very traditional in my way of playing, I just used Tifa and Barret and gave them All and elemental/heal materia and then gave Barret Cover + Counter Attack and Ultima + Magic Counter and Double Cut, Tifa was for Summons and Cloud was Meteor

Guess I'll change it up next time when I play

>Explore all around the glacier
>Made it to that little cave in the island
Hmmm, I must have missed out on the Alexander materia

On the next run look up Enemy Skills. They make a big difference. They completely cover summons and badic elemental magics and the best part, takes up only one materia slot. You can find 4 total in the game. If you haven't, complete Battle Arena and Chocobo breeding for absurd materias and of course take on the Weapon extra bosses.

yeah, the PC and ps3 versions of the game are the "low quality" versions of the game or something along these lines, this is more apparent with FFIX, where the backgrounds and pre-rendered in the PS1 version is far superior to any other version released of the game

Hmm, I grinded as best as possible and beat the Battle Arena a few times so I can get the Champion Belt, then I didn't bother with it later on

Fuck, this game is on crack, I've only played FF I to VI, so this game was definitely a new experience and broke away from the traditional format of the games

Why has no one ever put Pepe's face on this?

After you get Cloud back there opens two rewards more in Battle Arena; Cloud's final limit break and W-summon materia. From choväcobo races, that are partly mandatory for chocobo breeding, you can also get different materias with luck and also winning S class x amounts times straight

You can get all your limit breaks in a few hours. For the first tier of limit breaks, you can fight the Midgar Zolom as he does high damage and can take a few heavy attacks.

>Spirits Within was a HUGE flop but Squaresoft was already back in the green thanks to the big successes of FFX and KH.

The movie lost like 100 million dollars. You know all that profit they made beforehand? Gone.

Spirits Within is genuinely terrible. I tried giving it another go as an adult with a much more accepting mindset and I turned it off about forty five minutes in. The dialogue is terrible, the characters are all insufferable, the plot is unnecessarily convoluted, and the comic relief will genuinely make your skin crawl. Such a waste, what the fuck were they thinking?

no?

It's just too slow paced and nothing happens. They tried to spin the glacial pacing with saying it's due to Asian style film-making but Japan was and still is making ton of interesting anime and films. I think the issues are:

1. Square got so focused on the technical aspects that they forgot the basics: storytelling. Doesn't matter if your cgi is ground breaking if your story isn't interesting.
2. Technical aspects. Characters move stiffly because there was no motion capture. I think these issues reduced the amount of action in the movie to make it simpler to animate. Thus characters just standing around for most of the film.
3. Major league script issues.

>Such a waste, what the fuck were they thinking?

4. Hironobu Sakaguchi got too much power and went nuts when he should have been checked.

XV having stranger enemies gives me hope we'll get most if not all of these guys in the FF7 remake.

Doesn't make a lot of sense as FF8 had a PC port just like 7 back in the day. They can just port that one.

I think the real issue is the music rights involving Eyes On Me.

likely hubris from having their CG cutscenes so well received in their games. Thinking they could fill a gap in the market by making an adult CG movie with photorealistic graphics. Forgetting that writing a compelling story for a movie kind of matters and that "adult" doesn't just mean "boring with lots of talking". They were clearly just completely out of their element and had no understanding of what goes into making a movie thinking they could just carry it on their cutting edge CG which would inevitably become dated.

>I think the real issue is the music rights involving Eyes On Me.

Just swap out the audio?

Is Square not doing the movie one of the biggest what could have been moments in videogames?

Doesn't Path of Exile use a Materia-like system?

The sad part is that the answer was right in front of them: traditional 2D animation! Just imagine if they had made anime based on FF6, 7, etc. They'd cost 1% of Spirits Within, and would have been way more profitable.

>Obstacles on the path to calm.

Pottery.

Never even seen it in a "100%" LP run of the game.

Source, info, pics, vids? Never heard of that.

You should make a Youtube video and some forum posts explaining this. That would mean re-writing 100% runs of the game and disqualify past runs.

I found that. I agree there's a lot of secrets in the game that many players missed

"Yang's happy" means that his attack rose by 10. "Yang's excited" means that his magic attack rose instead. They can each increase up to the limit of 255.

In a room with a curve like reversed C if you hug the right side wall hidden behind lower part of wall not visible, you go through passage and into a room with Ribbon you can pick up

Wait, what? I know that music licensing is a nightmare in Japan, but isn't it all copyrighted by Square/Square Enix/Square Enix Música?

They brought in some hot shit singer to do the song for publicity reasons, so it's likely the song is co-owned by them. Thus creating a liscencing nightmare.

Is it mentioned in any gamefaqs or strategy guides? Mostly because this should be known stuff.

Materia modify stats. Magic materias reduce attack but boost Magic. My usual party give all the magic to Vincent While Cid and Cloud have mostly purple and yellows.

I googled FFVII Glacier Ribbon and it does give hits, including a youtube video for it

I've finished FFVII a dozen times, usually yearly and it's my favourite game of all time.
I have never once gotten Alexander because I haven't used any guides. I have also never seen Aeris' limit breaks past lvl 2.

>using Vincent

I love his design but god damn his Limit Breaks break him. Even if the enemy wasn't absorbing his elements, I simply hate losing the control.

I just dont use the limit on bosses, just on trash. I got magic to cast. I fury up link and cloud and make Vincent sad with tranquilisers . Works well enough.

Best FF girls:
Yuffie, Selphie, Beatrix, Rikku

>Materia modify stats. Magic materias reduce attack but boost Magic.

The effect is so minor it's to be irrelevant. You have like 25 attack, and maybe -3 for materia.

Funny shit, I got Great Gospell entirely on my own... after Aeris died! I had no clue what the hell that was until I looked it up in a guide.

To get Aeris' limits past 2, you really just have to grind it out. It's really unnatural to do in a normal playthrough.

2xCut hits one enemy two times
4xCut hits random enemy four times BUT it might spend the first 3 strikes on an enemy that would die normally in one hit thus wasting hits. Fucking fuck cunt.

You don't really need to plan for it? What do you mean. You just whack his ass, then whatever form he turns into you hit him with the opposite shit. I'm pretty sure you want him to turn into magic form cause it hits half as hard as phys form

lol i was replaying this shit the other day and that was my first game over because with the 3x speed i missed his message about breaking them

>Even if the enemy wasn't absorbing his elements
His 3rd and 4th limit are purely non elemental so, that stops being an issue

Of course people have, I know where it is. 2 legit ribbons in the game without morphing m8, one in the caverns after the glacier, one in the temple of the ancients

dude i wouldnt've noticed
you could use that skill for something

I'm pretty sure you can win one from battle arena too but you need to have 5 or 10 consecutive wins and I dont remember if the clerk gives it to you or do you need to talk the same girl who gives you sprint shoes for winning enough in Battle arena. By the time it would be just easier to get more Ribbons by morphing Master Tonberries

The entire game I thought that Vincent was just supposed to be a joke because of how edgy he was.
Imagine my surprise when it turns out that was completely un-ironic. Truly the worst character.

I always got the melodrama vibe from his dialogue. I think the battle model and his hand drawn character art had more younger and positive look than his portrait and later appearances in Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus

Anyone else ever grind up Omnislash on Disk 1? While its satisfying to kill the Demon Wall in one attack, does the difficulty of getting the battle points make it harder than just playing the game normally?

k user. No one but you and this printed guide from 1997.

Attached: Versus Books Ultimate Guide (OLD).png (1422x727, 2.21M)

Is omnislash even in the list of rewards in Disc 1? If it is, you could grind the points in battle arena if you know how to do the pausing slots trick. The biggest problem would be getting enough GPs to play Battle Arena enough to get the needed battle points. Battlepoints reset if you exit the building and i dont think you can buy GP with money at that point and you can't race your chocobos for GP. Also at that point you don't have sure way of immunity to the status ailments the battle arena can cause you and you are very depent on your limited materias. Battle arena gives highest BP for Materias breaking altogether in the final round or Magic Materia breaking.

it is. in fact its cheaper to get it in Disc 1. The GP is difficult, but you can gamble on chocobo races

Nice strawman, Barry.

Plenty of people probably walked into the walls too and found it.

Wasnt the entrance marked with red triangle? I always had the cursor and triangles on.

And then they made Zell the most broken character in the next game. Come to think of it, wasn't sabin broken as well, why is it so hard to design brawlers

Her limit break is only good really early on when everyone else hasn't got their better ones yet. Even if you get Yeahs on everything, her full limit is lackluster compared to Omnislash, Highwind, Catastrophe, and Doom of the Living. Plus it has the same problem as Cyan's Focus attacks from FFVI in that using it places a big sign on your forehead that says "Please fuck me up the ass while I'm unable to input commands, boss-senpai." Just terrible all around.

The game's been out long enough that people have figured out how to completely game the RNG to breed a gold chocobo without any racing. Best part is, it works in all versions of the game, even Switch.

>Turning on Assist Mode and blasting his ass with infinite Limit Breaks

Fuck everyone. I did my time and beat his ass legit years ago. I'm not going through that again.

That limit break talk earlier reminded me of a thought I had. If limit breaks feel like they don't progress very well alongside the natural flow of the game because you just won't fight enough enemies even if you never run away from a single fight, what if that's because the game was meant to be played WALKING everywhere, thus getting into more encounters? VII's default movement speed was walking and you had to hold O to run, whereas the later games defaulted to running with holding O to walk. I haven't played VII in years, but could something this dumb be the reason? That walking speed was painful as hell, too.

Wasn't running automatic in the overworld? I mean with all the towns that obviously don't have encounters just not pressing O can't be it

I've only recently discovered that as well. All these years later and still learning new things. Also:

>you can actually enter the truck in corel prison to rest.

fuck that shit. I was so confused

>losing the submarine game
You've got to be really bad to lose at that minigame, reminded me to check out the cutscenes that happen when you do though.

Advent Children was a Square Enix production. Spirits Within was literally the end for Square because it forced the merger and essentially pushed the creative leads in Square out of the company.

Advent Children was post-merger nonsense and after Nomura came to power in the vacuum. And it actually sold.

Loser.

I swear at some point when I was a kid I submerged at a certain point directly on him and I cried like a bitch because I forgot to save

>Advent Children
I liked it

truly nightmare fuel

SE should have gone with Clouds character either full depression/PTSD mode or made him act like end off FFVII happy Cloud. His AC version just seemed too wishi washi

It was alright. Soundtrack was great. Making Cloud a little bitch was the worst offender of the movie, but doesn't ruin 7 for me so whatever.

The mist dragon in FF4 also does it. It was basically the "look what we can do with ATB" gimmick that became tradition to use with the first boss in a bunch of the games.

they make a joke about this in FFXIV when you fight the Scorpion Tank

What did she mean by that?

Who knows how no one figured out that making the first big screen appearance of Final Fantasy an adaptation of a popular game instead of their literally who story would help it sell.

It was a simpler time when the go-to response to movie making wasn't just repackage something you already own the rights to.

She meant it was ridiculous Cloud was being such a bitch when he could've been kicking ass and fucking someone as fine as she was on the side.

This is the only thing I remember from the Midgar area after all these years.

Btw, what did we goto the middle east 4? What was our endgame?

I once had L2 Cloud Limit break at Train Graveyard

I have no fucking idea how I got that many kills/took that much damage.

.. it never happened again.

>Get Beta
>costs like 70% of your MP
>But it one shots the next three bosses

I actually don't remember about the overworld. Probably was run by default out there. That walking speed was so slow that it almost seemed like a joke. Even in a small dungeon, I'd think it would still take twice as long to get through. Maybe if I play through the game again, I'll actually try it out.

Probably because you were fumbling around on your first playthrough or exploring stuff on your second knowing where it was safe to commit genocide without a boss or bullshit encounter that could give a game over. After that people tend to rush to the good parts in a game and don't take their time in between.

I always liked keeping my party balls to the wall fuck-ass mad furious with Hypers, between that and a little grinding it's not hard to be shitting Meteorain on hapless guards while you climb Shinra tower.
