I heard lpix is going down for maintenance so that may be a factor.

 Last time I was okay at ceremonies, got on a boat, killed Sephy's mom's arm, crossed a mountain, then went to a theme park. FF7 makes no loving sense.  I could buy the lifetime ticket now but I need my money for Cosmo Canyon.  Okay!  I wanted to pick a different person than Elentor. Turns out he picked Yuffie who I don't have. So I take the experimental surgeon for variety's sake.  I like being able to say I know what plot relevant things are the first time they're brought up and be honest.  Anyway Ice-T joins us.  "My adrenaline's pumpin', I got my stereo bumpin'!"  I already took Ice-T's Silver Bangle and materia. Literally the first thing I did.  Except the Masamune is internally a gun and  I like this guy. He's to the point.  "Pigs deserve what's comin' for them!"  Barrel is good at dancing around bullets. Either that or Shinra troops are horrible shots. He can dance for hours.  Anyway I take Taft with me because I want to try and get her to avoid Dyne's EXP.  She's dead, and in the party. But she's level 6 and the minimum level for Taft is 7. I know it's futile.  Extreme Nihilism is a common occurance in FF games.  DRAMATIC BATTLE! AN UNDERLEVELED BARREL VS. DYNE!   And that's why I stole so many Right Arms. They are powerful. Anyway Barrel gets full EXP and everyone else, Taft included, gets half.  I've never seen you before now   Even if I never use it I'm still getting the Ranch materia.  I have raced so many chocobos you lunatic you have no loving clue  Still badass at it after all these years.  "Okay Aerated I heard those finger quotes from here. What can we actually go over?"  Behold, Taft as she will be for the rest of time. I'll make sure she never faces the scourge of

I think that by this point, Taft is made of bruises and concussions.

The update I am on is "Creepy Korean Horror Movie Hour." In retrospect, I really should have named it Japanese Horror Movie.

If the character is unconscious and not in the party do they still gain XP?

It'll get hilarious once bosses start giving several thousand EXP each. Also Elentor update faster I'll be only a smidge behind you in two more of my updates

We're all replaying the game. You should too, there'll be more updates when you get back. I actually finished it all again already. I've just been drinking since then. I guess you could try that, too.

I wanted to keep playing alongside Elentor and my Disc 1 is missing. I can't buy a new copy of this game, it costs 250 dollars.

Dont know if this is  but I think if you own the game on disc you're okay to download a ROM to play on an emulator. You can even export the save to the playstation through some unknown wizardry

No, that's pretty much a myth sadly. The part I mean. You can definitely transfer a PSX memcard save, via, say, DexDrive. I owned one way back when.

Buy a pre-opened GH copy and it's like $7 as it should be. Only super weirdos demand sealed non-GH FF7 for their candle-lit shrines (I mean, uh, "collections") yes I see the $250 on Amazon but there's a used copy for $20 + S&H. Which is still robbery, but if you're that desperate...

My understanding, which could be wrong: legal technicality-wise, a computer copy that you rip yourself from your own discs (for a backup, and not to be shared) is okay under the general clause of "you are allowed to make a single backup copy of any piece of software you have purchased", while the exact same collection of 1's and 0's obtained from any other source (regardless of whether you also possess the discs) is a horrible horrible vile thing that makes you a bad person. As far as ethics go, rather than legality, of course, the pertinent question is not "how did the 1's and 0's get onto your computer" but instead "did you actually buy a copy of the game". Lawyers and corporations live and make fortunes off technicalities, though, so if push came to shove, don't think for a second that common sense will trump some blurb in legalese. But yeah, in FF7's case it's kinda moot in many cases, what with the whole  on PSN thing.

As a person who got Valkyrie Profile for about $130 a very short time before they announced VP: Lenneth, old releases of PSX games that are available for much less elsewhere drive me to despair.

This is actually true, provided that you continue to retain the rights to possess the program. 17 USC §117 · Limitations on exclusive rights: Computer programs (a) Making of Additional Copy or Adaptation by Owner of Copy.— Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106, it is not an infringement for the owner of a copy of a computer program to make or authorize the making of another copy or adaptation of that computer program provided: (1) that such a new copy or adaptation is created as an essential step in the utilization of the computer program in conjunction with a machine and that it is used in no other manner, or (2) that such new copy or adaptation is for archival purposes only and that all archival copies are destroyed in the event that continued possession of the computer program should cease to be rightful.

Wait, you can get this on the PSP now? I thought it was a PSN thing only on the PS3, which i don't have. I am never going to get anything accomplished ever again.

The only problem I can see with PSX games on the PSP is that some require dual-analogue or all four shoulder buttons, which the PSP can only emulate with some horrendous button combinations and nub movements.

Don't forget about the super-rare(!!!) misprint that makes it ever so valuable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2bBpTDSefk I actually have one of these sitting around and a copy of the game on PSN. Maybe I should go ahead and make a buck off a sucker.

That's a side-effect from something called positional value. Rarity plays an important value in human's perceptions of things. Just look at History (or diamonds). Sorry for the lack of updates, I can't even say it's work this time. Health issues
