Ha, Tifa doing meteodrive on the Zolom looks completely retarded.

It's why I love Tifa's limit-break chain so much. She can piledrive/suplex/whatever-it-is ANYTHING. It looks rediculous and it's always funny to see her pick up these massive dangerous things while they just hold absolutely still while she smashes their skulls against the ground.

Well, Tifa has to stay because I like Meteodrive too much.

So... Cloud, Tifa, Aeris to show off her massive overpowered limit breaks.
Then when Aeris becomes unavailable; Cloud, Tifa, Yuffie

Voting Barret and Aeris. The party is in desperate need of more machine-gun arms and sensible ladies.

So...FFVII was the first game I ever bought for the Playstation. I was young and stupid and I didn't know poo poo about memory cards, and most of the games I'd played up until that point had been fighting games or silly little short platformers. The idea of a save feature was utterly alien to me, to the point that my mind just sort of skipped the explanation in sector seven and anything I read in the booklet. I didn't even have a memory card, because I thought the Playstation was just going to do everything for me.

The first time I played this thing I got all the way out of Midgar, saw the Sephiroth flashback sequence (and thought it was awesome), and then two minutes after that wrapped up I ran into the Zolom and died. Hello title screen!

I couldn't even be mad at myself. I just sort of wandered around my house in shock for a few hours.

The next day I snagged a memory card and then I did it right. Dumb as hell I may have been, but I was loving tenacious.

Honestly I still find the Midgar Serpent that Sephy killed more impressive than yours. Yours was a very prepared, very exact fight that you still only barely won with three people. Sephy probably didn't know about the snake and managed to not only kill it, but carry it to dry land and impale it on a tree BY HIMSELF.

Also: Cloud, Red XIII, and Barret; AKA Team Sausagefest.

I vote you show off the ways to break the game with all the characters. So if you get new ones, show them off! I'm already assuming you will be showing us all the max level limit breaks.

The whole index finger on the frame, middle finger on the trigger thing seems to be a character quirk given to Elena in the EU. However, it's entirely feasible. The RL technique is called "Point Shooting." It's a method for aiming and firing when you don't have the time or visibility to utilize sights. The theory behind it is about how the brain recognizes positioning with the fingers naturally, so you're literally shooting at whatever you happen to be pointing at.

I think I already killed her six times in this update :v:. I forgot about Chocobuckle so I had to come back and she spawned and caught me twice on the way back. I tend to show off prepared and exact fights because, at least to me, they're very entertaining, to see how tight you can pull off stuff. Beside there's already a buttload of videos of these bosses being beaten on the Internet so I'm trying to be creative.

Hi Elentor, I'm really enjoying reading this thread, you have an excellent writing style. I'm amazed at all the things I missed when I played this all those years ago, just hacking and healing my way through.

I've bought a PSP, and gotten a US copy of the game to play on it because of this thread. The difference is incredible, I booted my cds up just to check it wasn't my bad memory but it's seems to have suffered the full 17.5% PAL conversion slowdown and squished aspect ratio.

That's heart-warming, thank you!

I'm not saying it wasn't impressive, I'm just saying Sephiroth's kill is still pretty awesome. Also, I love what you're doing with the boss fights. I've never seen many of these bosses killed before their gimmicks are shown (except air buster because, seriously, easiest boss in the game). Wondering how much longer you can keep it up though.

So wrong.

My vote's for Barret and Yuffie and Cloud + Long Range Materia for Team Back Row. Because it totally makes sense that characters in the back row should take less damage when there is no front row.

Maybe We'll invent a Cosmic Esperanto.
For the party, I'd like to see the same party I used during my most recent playthrough: Cloud, Barret, and Tifa.

Our upcoming character was always useful to me because she uses a long-range weapon. Way back when I played this for the first time, I put the Long Range materia on Cloud and put all those characters in the back row. It was a pretty sneaky way to make those physical enemies much easier.

Wait, really? I thought Yuffie's multi-hit limit hit only 8-10 times and Barret's Ungarmax hit like 16 times. By end game, number of hits is really the only thing that matters.

Unless you're talking about Conformer?

EDIT: Hell, the only character I see worse than Yuffie is Red XII. The OTHER character at least gets an ultimate weapon that can instant-kill anything in the game thanks to a damage overflow bug.

The next character's has a tier 3 limit which hits 15 times, whereas Barret and the last character we'll get both have a limit that can hit 18 times. This means team multi-hit has the ability to dish out the most possible damage from three single moves. However, due to that thing you mentioned, the next character we'll be getting is almost necessary to do any serious endgame statgain farming, and isn't really all that bad anyway.
