Final Fantasy VII PS4 |OT| One last time before the remake

Riding the Tiny Bronco at 3x speed was awful for my eyes/brain, probably the draw distance giving a distorted looking. I still feel strange half an hour after stopping the game.

I swear this was $16 something when I checked yesterday. Went to buy it today and it is $23.95 AUD.

Am I high?
It had a lower introductory price.
 
Seriously, the x3 accelerator is one of the best things they could add.

I'm on the verge of finishing disc 2 in less than 12 hours and have all the final limit items but Omnislash.

Fucking date with
Barret

The best part is how easy it is to activate. I usually only turn it on for random encounters, but it's great during battles I want to take slower too but don't want to sit through long summon animations.

I need every Final Fantasy to be rereleased with this feature.

Preach. I have no idea how I coped with the PAL PS1 version speed in '97
 
I used to think you needed them all, but according to an FAQ (credit to Anthony Morales):

Silk Dress + Blonde Wig + Sexy Cologne + Ruby Tiara + Bikini Briefs - Cloud
Silk Dress + Blonde Wig + Sexy Cologne + Diamond Tiara - Cloud
Silk Dress + Blonde Wig + Sexy Cologne + Diamond Tiara + Lingerie - Cloud
Silk Dress + Blonde Wig + Sexy Cologne + Diamond Tiara + Bikini Briefs - Cloud

So basically, you need them all.
Yeah that's the thing, I had the best stuff except I missed the lingerie and Aeris was still chosen. Weird :/ Should I do something with the person in the toilet too? I can't remember.

That person gives you the sexy cologne, so you didn't have the best stuff :P. You need to eat at the restaurant, then say you liked the food. You'll get a pharmacy coupon which you need to exchange for a digestive. Then you need to give that digestive to the person in the restroom.
 
Is there an language option in this game? I want to buy the game but the easiest way to buy this is to buy the Japanese version on jp psn since I'm in Japan. But I'm used to the english translation before

I didn't get lingerie and he picked cloud. I read that with each item it increases your odds of getting picked but theres still a chance he wont. It's a percentage basically.

Damn, you're probably right there :D Thanks, luckily I saved somewhere in the middle of it all.

That sounds reasonable too :)
 
I still think that the original ending meant that
Holy judged humans as dangerous to the planet and absorbed them back into the lifestream. Bugenhagen hinted that it was a possibility and this is the only Final Fantasy ending I can think of that doesn't show you any of the human characters and what they're up to after the fact. Just Red XIII and his kin/progeny.
 
the septhiroth that you chase for the first half of the game IS jenova acting on sephiroth's will, and it DID get the black materia to bring it directly to him. cloud just manages to catch up and kill it to get the materia back, but ends up delivering it anyway because he has jenova's cells and can still be manipulated.

the 'clones' and the whole reunion thing was mostly just a side effect of the plan that happened when jenova's main body became active and the cells started following it around trying to reunite.

The real Sephiroth is the one you deliver the black materia to. You have been following Jenova the entire game.

Obviously I know that. But Jenova farts around in the temple of the ancients. Maybe she should stop dawdling.
 
I'm not sure why this got passed me. I feel like if you weren't following psx fairly closely it'd be pretty easy to miss this release.

I'm glad I caught it on the last day of the reduced price!

What a pleasant treat for a Saturday morning.
 
Dang. I just took on Midgar Zolom. Cloud was tail kicked out of the battle, but Barrett had Enemy Skill equipped, so later in the fight it used beta on the remaining members. They were wiped out, but it wasn't a game over because Cloud was still alive.
Beta learned in Materia. Awww Yiss.

EDIT: Nevermind, even though it said I learned it, it's not there. It must be a condition that your character has to survive or win the battle.

Beta is shit.

It's all about that Trine bebe.

Jenova was essentially falling apart piece by piece. Its heart was the only thing left when it reached Sephiroth. Cloud was a much more trustworthy holder of the Black Materia because he was essentially a perfect Sephiroth clone that wasn't dying and could be manipulated. Sephiroth also had a major vendetta against Cloud for killing him so using him as the instrument of his rise to power was the perfect vengeance for him.
 
what are the missable trophies?

The one I had to actually concentrate on, and use a guide for, was the Best Bromance trophy. There's a lot of specific choices you have to make from the very beginning of the game, up until the date scene at the Gold Saucer.

Other missables:

Consummate Cross-dresser
Shuriken Join Us
Won't You be My Valentine?
Roundtable Destruction

Everything else is basically obtained through attrition as you grind up to level 99....granted that you dont miss the materias that drop after boss battles.
 
played for a few hours until junon. the last time i played the game was when it released in 97. the game still holds up remarkably well. i only use the 3x boost; that shit is a god send.
 
Saw that it was on sale for $10.87 and decided to get it. I've never played a Final Fantasy game before. Tips for a noob?

Go into config and put the battle speed on max, because it's kinda slow. Also you can use L3 to speed up the game whenever you feel it is running slow and tediously. If you want more of a challenge as well, change the battle commands to active. This means enemies won't wait to attack you while you are fiddling in the spell or item menus.
 
How did you level everyone's limit breaks so quickly??
Put fury on everyone and grind it out. I did allot of it while farming for gold and exp on disc 3.


Also find areas that battles with like 5 creatures and equip strong all magic to easily kill them all to get your kill counter up.

Yes I would love this very much. Just imagine FFIX with 3x speed, game would be bought on day 0.
 
Dont get frustrated with the fights, it gets really cool with all the materias and stuff. Have fun at the gold saucer and try to find hidden stuff by yourself :)

If you just want to focus on the story, you can use the "cheats" for an easier game experience.

Cool. I'll do that. Thanks.
 
I did most of my farming in the forest near junon I think. Give her strong magic with all because she sucks at melee.

The area around Mideel is great for Disc 1 grinding.

How did you level everyone's limit breaks so quickly??

All + Fire in areas that spawn enemies in groups of no less than three, sometimes four. Like outside of Mideel.

Platinum took me 20 hours as well, that seems to be average with cheats and already knowing where everything is.
 
I swear this was $16 something when I checked yesterday. Went to buy it today and it is $23.95 AUD.

Am I high?

I was as surprised as you when I learned today that it had a limited-time discounted price.
When I checked the EU store before today, it didn't show any "discounts" or deadlines. I just thought the game was 10,99€. I even commended them for the price to my friends, lol.
If I had known about the deadline, I would have bought it. I didn't...
 
After you get Trine, sure.

Until then? Beta makes the game easy mode (God mode cheat aside)

i don't really understand why people would want to make the game easier than it already is. if you can actually get beta before trine (i did it once many years ago), you're already at a level that can trivialize that entire stretch of the game anyway. i've always found the practice of grinding to be an absurd waste of time regardless since regular progression yields as much experience in a handful of battles as an hour of sticking to one area and grinding it out.

in my current playthough i fought jenova birth at level 15, materia keeper at 25 and just beat godo at 28. the challenge is just right and i find it far more enjoyable than any time i decided to cheese the game a bit.

that said, by biggest piece of advice for this game is to set the battle speed to max and ATB to wait. battles become extremely brisk while still giving you to ability to stop and pick your attacks.
 
Oh, the discount ended? Shame, I'm still debating whether or not I should buy the game...

What's the general judgement of the port? Reading this thread, apparently there are some minor music issues, and the (poorly smoothed) text fonts are pretty annoying, but the option for 3x game speed sounds like significant improvement, and the theme seems pretty godlike.

Actually, is the theme going to stay bundled with the game? Because that might decide whether I'll buy the game now or later next year.

The theme is fucking awesome, especially the music. OMG
