I played the hell out of VII in my day, and again through it with a buddy years later. Loved the game; never got into any of the others. I'm really enjoying this LP, though.

Simply Simon posted:I think my sense of difficulty is completely hosed up. I had this problem when I played, too. Maybe it was just my playstyle. I never had too much trouble with the bosses in this game, but Rufus was probably the hardest fight I can remember in the entire game.

. Really stupid, but you make it sound like you could just spam him into oblivion; before I could do that, though, he'd have me killed. Level too low, HP too low, I'd have to heal. And Potions can just barely keep up with his shotgun and the panther/dog/forgot. If he crits, that's a race I can't win.

TooManyUzukis posted:Advice: use magic. Even after stealing the Hard Edge, a simple bolt spell does more than a standard physical attack. Don't know if it was always that way, but drat does it make a difference. My memory of this was that magic dominated until very late in the game, when Attack took back over. But I could be misremembering.

That seems right, with the 2x/4x cut and such. Hades->added effect is great fun too!

George posted:There's a cutscene that I think only plays on disc 3 if you go kinda far out of your way. It explains a significant portion of the backstory for like four major characters and is 100% skippable. It's almost malicious. Yeah, that was a design decision I never really understood.

Elentor posted:The interesting thing about LPing this game is that I'm sure it will be a fresh experience to a lot of people who've played it before too. The plot of the game makes sense, but it gets extremely convoluted very soon. I imagine that for someone who haven't played the game it's even hard to imagine how it can turn complicated from the point we're in, since it's been very straightforward until now (pursue Sephiroth). This is exactly the case, as someone who's played it a couple of times and is generally familiar with the plot

berryjon posted:I've always suspected that non-naval mass transportation was simply absent in this world/game. As you said, there are no roads, unlke FF8 where there were Rail lines everywhere. There do, based on certain events, seem to be plenty of dirt trails that people still use, with the occasional car/ Honestly, why would you even bring that spoiler up? I know there's been some discussion of it but it's just asking to get moused over for no real reason.

As we keep advancing through this LP, I'm consistently surprised at how much of the plot I don't actually remember. It's really refreshing, and because I've played through the game a few times and know the fundamental plot points, I'm really getting a lot out of seeing the guts of the story. It's really enjoyable.

I remember not having too much trouble with the Demon Wall, definitely tough, but not that bad. Then I loaded up my friend's save and goddamn I see where the complaining comes from. Also, I agree with the sentiment that the (more-or-less) Princess Guard 1-shot was the best of the videos.

I remember the first time I saw this scene, I was shocked. Elentor, you did it justice. I would hop on the bandwagon though for a video that goes into Aeris' theme - it makes it even more intense. Can You Hear the Call of the Planet is the best song, too.

This is one of the game's flaws, I think. It's an incredibly important part of the plot, and it's presented in a rather boring manner. I could be wrong, but I remember skipping through this section much faster than I probably should have when I first played it.

Man, I had totally forgotten about the Key Plot Info that you get here. I think one of the reasons that people have a hard time keeping track of this game isDoctorTristan posted:Ultimately the confusion stems from the fact that the writers not only decided to have two mystery villains manipulating things from behind the scenes, but went to great lengths to blur the distinction between the two whenever possible

I remember this being my least favorite part of the game, so many  that just didn't make sense. But on this trip through the game, now that I understand the plot a lot better...I've been hotly anticipating it. And you're doing a great job.

Yessssssss this update. I remember really disliking this part of the game the first time through, but I'm going to chalk that up to 1) being 12 years old or whatever and 2) having named Cait Sith "Zack." I've since read plenty about the scene and the plot, and I've been really looking forward to the detail that Elentor was going to put into this scene, and I was not disappointed.
