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

new page stupid question: i accidentally hit something to make it so the little mickey mouse glove is pointed at my character, and things i can interact with have the red arrow over them ... cant seem to get it off. help?
 
you really get no penalty for using the battle cheat (r3)? not even for trophies? doesn't this make the trophies ... senseless?

No penalty. I enjoyed playing with cheats so they're worthwhile to me.

Edit: Cosmo Canyon glitch works for Barret. Did it around 20 times and got the trophy to pop.
 
Yuffie pls
man I'm wondering how this Wutai section would have even worked if she wasn't in the party. Think they'll make her a mandatory party member in the remake?

It basically doesn't. you go there, no one likes you because you are an outsider. They overcharge your for everything, and no one wants to talk to you.

Wutai is a side area, so I guess if you go there without Yuffie it just lets you buy stuff and get the items? I don't think they'd let you do the Materia retrieval sidequest without her being around. I'm almost certain that Yuffie and Vincent will be permenant party members this time, they're both too much a part of the FF7 mythos to let them be missed. Plus it'd make voiced movie scenes a major pain to have them be optional.

Oh, so that's how it plays out! It makes sense too with the story of how Wutai got fucked over by Shinra
 
This is kind of annoying I've found another two bugs already. I've got stuck in Barret, and he just runs on the spot so the game is stuck in an infinite loop. Then in Costa Del Sol I move through a character and get stuck behind them and cant get out.
 
Pretty funny that out of every scene in the game Square decided that
sephiroth killing aerith
one of the most documented and well known spoilers in gaming history should be blocked during broadcasting lol

And yes the irony of my post is not lost on me :p
 
I just got Omnislash on Disc 1. Damn basketball game and battle square.

I got pretty good in that basketball tho.
 
Still a couple of dialogue mistakes in the Temple of the Ancients. 'Exited' instead of excited, and when Aerith turns to your third character and calls him/her 'Cloud'.

What makes it even funnier is that the scene after that
lowering her lifeless body into the water
isn't blocked.
 
First time playing the game, I'm on
Canyon after the Red XIII father scene
and man... this is an incredible game. It does not feel as outdated like many players say. I am really enjoying the game.

That is one of the most touching scenes in the game, pretty incredible.

I'm glad you're enjoying it and yeah that is a really emotional moment for sure.
Red XIII's howling :'(
 
Just wondering if the PC version is OK for playing FFVII? I remember hearing it had some bugs, but maybe they were fixed? I've played it a little before, but only got to the Midgar exit.

I expect Yuffie and Vincent to become mandatory in the remake. They're both cemented as canon characters as joining Cloud. Plus with the voice acting now they'd have to have multiple versions of cutscenes to compensate for each outcome (Yuffie but no Vincent, Vincent but no Yuffie, both of them, none of them). Just have a cutscene in a forest where Yuffie ambushes the party. And for Vincent, just have the exit to Nibelheim blocked until you get him.

It surely does more harm than good. The recording blocked message took me out of the moment ever so slightly.

PC version is probably best version. They patched the major issue, aka midi music. Most other stuff if you really want people have mods for (higher resolution/different sprites, etc)

Square is weird with that. In FFX they blocked a certain 'romantic' scene where
Yuna and Tidus kiss
. Dont know why devs even do this at all.
 
Bought it on PS4, first time owning it again after playing it on PS1.


Having issues getting into it again because the character/background contrast is throwing me for such a loop ;(

I think that one is because of the song used in that scene. Probably easier to block the scene than spend the time and money sorting out copyright for that. Especially since it plays the whole song with no dialogue or sounds over it so people could record it and just take the audio to keep the song.
 
Am I strange for almost wanting a midi option on the ps4? lol. FF7 on PC was where I first played it and spent most of my time with the game (FF Trainers were so cool to me back then). I remember for the longest time never understanding why people hated the music lol.
 
I apologize if someone answered this but this is a question for FFVII vets. One of my favorite glitches of all time is in FFVII. For the vets, is the
W-item glitch
still in this version of the game? :)
 
Guys I think I'm getting closer and closer to the infamous spoiler

just reached the temple of the ancients. I have a feeling Aerith isn't long for this world ;_;

Disregarding the obvious absence of the vocals in "One Winged Angel", I still contend the PC MIDI OST played on one of the higher end MIDI modules of the day is better than the PS1 version.

I really think the samples in FFVII are a step below the samples used in FFVI or even many SNES games (and for some reason the entire FFVII OST lacks low-end completely, something the SNES had no issue with - on games scored by Uematsu or even Koshiro), I don't know if that was a stylistic choice or Uematsu just coming to terms with new hardware.
 
Looking at the trophy list, how many are missable? I already know how to do the Don Corneo and Barret date ones but forget the limit break and materia ones, is there a hard time limit on them? Is there a point in the game where they become unaccessible besides the obvious Aerith one

That scene should be changed in the remake imo.

Its far too predictable at this point.They should preserve the plot point but deliver it differently this time around imo.

Maybe
e. coli infection from 7th Heaven
. Unlike the original she starts off with all of her limit breaks, but as you progress she gets
sicker and sicker, losing limit breaks and her max HP and MP reducing
- until the inevitable.
 
Well this is annoying.

I got all 4 Huge Materia but when I get Bahamut Zero the trophy doesn't pop :(
Did you Save beforehand? Delete and recover your profile, then reload your save and try again. Or try mastering the materia and see if it pops when it births a second one.

Unrelated: Got my Plat!

Thank you but it finally popped after I closed the game and reopened it. So weird that it wasn't registering before.
 
Making good progress guys

Aerith Level 4 Limit, Could-Barret date, and Don Corneo are the the basic missables. Bahamut is missable if you dont pick it up. Rest you can get whenever or have another way to get (like Bahamut Zero or master summon)

Oh man.
I don't think I have fought a boss more angry after this scene in any game.
Make sure you have Enemy Skill equipped. lol.

lol too bad it's essentially one of the most spoiled deaths in fiction. Had virtually no impact since I never used her :p

And with that disc 1 draws to a close
 
People playing this the first time - how do you feel about the level geometry? Do you find it easy to figure out where to go on sections like the area that goes to the market and Don Corneo's area or climbing the rope in Midgar? Because even as someone who has played this before its really hard to determine whats the foreground and background sometimes.
 
I have no PS4, so no remaster for me. So I'll just play the PSOne classic on my Vita and watch a Let's Play of the Remake when it finally drops. Great OT, loving some of the comments here. Especially in regards to
Aerith's death.
 
I don't remember how far I got into this game on the original but I never finished any FF game before. I got to some pyramid I think and then I must've had a broken disc 2 or 3 or something. I literally don't remember much in this game.
