It's bizarre that they'd make a film about it, and do spin-offs, and include Cloud in every cross over they can, but they won't remake it.

Aqualung is better for that, a bit easier to get and very very few enemies resist water.

Honeybee Inn - Honestly, this is an incredible theme. I think it only plays in the Inn, but don't quote me on that.

I must be crazy but I thought there was a platinum blonde wig too if you really beat Big Bro by a lot during the squatting game.

Like I said, there are five bosses in the game who can start under a back-attack. It requires a very specific situation.

First the boss must have a specific flag turned on, a flag that allows him to be back-attacked, but not allow you to escape. It's suspected that the bosses that have that flag are just a programmer's oversight.

The thing is that you can only be back-attacked if you're in a place where random attacks occur. Not all bosses are in such places. As such, there are many other bosses with that flag turned on but, alas, you can't ambush them.

Inherent statuses that never wear off from accessories are done by giving that status and by making the wearer immune to the status. The Reflect Ring, for example, gives an immunity to Reflect and has the character start with Reflect, so it's a permanent reflect.

Added Effect+Time on armor makes the wearer immune to Haste in addition to the expected Slow and Stop. Why.

Haste makes the rate at which Barrier and MBarrier deplete double.

Big Guard inflicts Haste, Barrier, and MBarrier so the bars deplete faster. That would be a reason to use Added Effect+Time... if Haste weren't just so good.

It doesn't really double it. Barrier and Mbarrier just last a set number of turns and your turns come faster.

I thought?

Here's the various names for the highest level of Protect in different games in the series:

FF1: Protera
FF11: Protectra
FF12: Protectga
FF13: Protectra
FFT: Protectja

Within 3 games released in a fairly short timespan (FF12, FFT, FF13), Protect (2) has 3 names. Shellra's just as bad.

Consensus: gently caress yoooooooooooouuuuuuu.

The strategy guide never mentioned anything about ultimate weapon gimmicks. I only knew of Cloud's because his sword looks fugly when he gets weak.

When I was playing though this game cloud was just getting his 2nd level of limit breaks after this ship segment, so you've obviously grinded a lot more then I did. Maybe I was just extremely underleveled but even with most of my character using their basic limits i never had any trouble with this game.

Reno turned into some comic relief guy in AC while he's a mass murderer in FF7 by destroying the support pillar.

Yesssss Cait Sith is the best character in this game. He must be in your party at ALL TIMES

Put him and Barrett together and it's like a buddy cop movie

Who the gently caress thought bringing Cait Sith back as a central character was a good idea?

While technically correct, that does a disservice to the meaning behind Six Flags, as while Georgia does indeed have a state flag, it's never had it's own flag as a sovereign nation. So it's only ever flown the flags of five nations.

Speed Square Changes

Apparently, they added a propellor to the Zeppelin in the PC version that gives you 4960+ points if you shoot it, making the whole thing very easy if you know about it beforehand.

Unfortunately I can't confirm it. The one video showing it looks horrible. Does anyone else know about this?

Also, while we're on it, let's listen to something good to make up for all these atrocities.

Rufus cast Barrier on Dark Nation way back in Shinra HQ (for all the good that did) but I can't remember any other boss or regular enemy offhand that casts a buff. I'm sure there's one or two, because there just has to be, but I can't think of what they would be or if they even exist.

I've finally finished reading this thread. I had forgotten a fair amount about FFVII, and there's a fair bit I never saw when I played through it on the PC. To be honest, FFVII was never my favorite FF game, I always preferred 1-6 *barring 2* mechanics over VIIs. I would put it slightly behind XII and slightly ahead of XIII. Yes, I actually liked XIII *I can understand most of the complaints against it, but I still like it*.

The problem I always had with it, other than the fanatics claiming it was the best game ever, was that the materia system was TOO open-ended, and resulted in the only difference in characters being if they can attack from the back row/hit flying enemies, and how many times their limits hit per attack. Other than that it's a good game.

That being said, VIII is a bad game made worse by how many good ideas it had that either botched horribly, or didn't do anything with, and X/X-2 I hate out of principle1

Mostly because his "Ugh!" is an ability that makes him do the whole bouncing off a truck thing.
