Hah, why googling for a good source I came across this post from 2004 on the ngemu forums from one "Elentor" Elentor posted:After all these years, I decided to play again FF7, in order to test some unusual materia combos me and a friend were talking about. Oh yes, Elentor did say he would get to this minigame in a bugs and bytes, although I can't remember if he has done so, so far and I do not remember which updates included the bugs and bytes.

I really enjoy the G-Bike minigame (even once had a run where the truck took no damage) so getting GP for the Battle Square was no problem. I then got Omnislash and the other worthwhile prizes as soon as they were available without square mashing, Enemy-skill, Added Effect or similar. Haste+Regen then slash them to pieces is how I did it. I may not be wise in noticing how easy it is to trivialise fights in this game but I have the willpower to run the BS many times over with a 'good enough' setup.

The White Dragon posted:And then this is the part where we tell OFS that HP gain in FF7 is slightly randomized and that he could potentially have the worst HP possible given his current level MP gain is like that too! The formula is all written up on GameFAQS in the Party Mechanics guide but my HS drop-out maths is not good enough to really tell what the gently caress is going on.

That whole "B.L.A.C.K.M.A.T.E.R.I.A" part would probably make much more sense in Japanese and just doesn't translate into English.

Soricidus posted:Random trivia nobody seems to have mentioned yet unless I'm stupid and can't read, which is entirely possible: in the first Japanese edition, I believe the clock "puzzle" actually involved a puzzle! Unfortunately it was terrible so they ripped it out before the US release. I'd show it off but my Japanese copy is a later edition with the same tedious-but-bullshit-free clock we know and love. You couldn't wind the clock in the original Japanese version until you had fallen down 3 times then it would switch to how it is in all other releases.

Summon materia is created through a slightly different process according to un-used text from the game.pre:Sephiroth: During the time when the Ancients prospered there existed beings that grew up bathed in abundant Mako. Sephiroth: They were pure creatures of natural shape. Several remain even now. Sephiroth: These beings sealed their consciousness within materia, altering their lives for eternity. Aeris: The summon materia… Sephiroth: Correct. Such a clever girl. Sephiroth: The creatures that protect this temple have lived long, relics from the age of the Ancients. Sephiroth: They belong to this planet even more than you do. Sephiroth: Heh heh heh… Keep that in mind.

Macaluso posted:edit 2: Are you going to do a write up on the bone village at some point? I know there's nothing super great item wise you can get, but the background in that area has a LOT of detail. I swear there's an X in one spot, and there's clearly a broken jet there. You can dig up W-item, Neo-Bahamut and a few other things most people assume are miss-able.

More un-seen Honeybee Inn fun, this time in video! You'll need to turn on annotations to see the translations. Soricidus, reading the Japanese won't work too well since the Kanji tables were changed after these scenes were created and abandoned so things can be gibberish, but the translator managed to figure the key to correctly align a bunch of the Kanji. Some and still misaligned and point to corrupted things however. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLhCX7D_sR4 You'll want to watch this one to see the appearance of everyone's favourite fat man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=058JQUM3t6s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTXt7LTRFI8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iEHsGeaDbY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23qqGuonccU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AozOlgCwSMA The full write up for this available here I read most of it and saw one spoiler, not much of a spoiler, it mentions one character we've already seen and one location we've yet to visit in the LP.

You know that cave that looks like you can enter but can't reach at the start of the Forgotten City? I would link to the picture from the thread but lpix is down You can find out what it was possibly going to be used for by reading this: http://thelifestream.net/ffvii-the-unused-text-part-8/ It's quite far down and the article contains spoilers. Edit: This cave.

Schwartzcough posted:You can easily get to the end of the game with even a core set of materia nowhere near mastered. I can't even fathom how much grinding it would take to master ALL of them. Triple/Double AP + W-item + A certain mob in the final dungeon and it's really quite easy to master everything.

This article: http://thelifestream.net/ffvii-the-unused-text-part-8/ Touches on such a bit and suggests with good evidence that The Sleeping Forest was supposed to lead to the Ancient Forest This was posted a few days and should be of interest to many. Letter to a Staffer. quote:Recently, I managed to track down the contact information of a number of game developers, in the hopes of respectfully asking them about longstanding gaming mysteries. Today, I share with you the results of my correspondence with a staffer that worked on FFVII. Like most things on the site, it’s been translated from Japanese.

I don't understand why playthroughs would end here. I quite like this section it's not hard and if you can't read a map you get taken right to where you need to be. Snowboarding, map reading, snowstorm section, the up-coming part are all things that make this area great, it's all new and differs from what we've experienced so far.

Zeikier posted:I'm mostly saying it's math-y because the article doesn't transpose the AI Script into a written summary of what it does in battle. That and at first glance looking at that stuff looks rather Enemy isn't slowed - Cast slow Enemy is slowed - Cast X Mp less than 24- Cast Aspil (osmose) Hp below 1/3 - Cast cure2 on own party That's a basic gist of what it does.
