Christ are you dense. Angeal goes on and on about the sword being his honor and how he he has honor and how everyone should have HONOR.

Fuck and I'm pretty sure you just spoiled the game for me.
I doubt I spoiled anything.

and real spoiler I guess:
His father paid more money then he actually had to have that sword made for Angeal. To join SOLDIER with honor
. Pretty lame backstory for him to keep using that word.

Tifa's midriff is showing? Holy shit what a whore

PS: Never, ever go outside.

No kidding. Yuffie in the original had a sluttier outfit than CC Tifa. In fact I think CC Aerith has bigger boobs than CC Tifa, at least in the FMV (from what I've seen in commercials). :/

There is one in-joke from an NPC that I felt was a little tasteless though.

a carpenter who wants to make a bar, and you suggest the name Seventh Heaven. He then imagines a bar where the waitress is a young girl "with a big bosom, and long legs. a real killer body!" and an underground hideout for Anti Shinra people to hide in.

Kind of makes it sound like Tifa was only recruited into Avalanche for her body, instead of fighting skill, or maybe I'm just reading into it.

Without spoiling too much, how much screentime does CC Tifa get? Any funny bits with her and Zack?

Well CC Tifa also is like 15 and not wearing panties...

Do you know any place that has a translation of Why?

Here's a youtube video with subtitles

How
the slot machine mechanic
was incorporated into the ending was absolutely perfect. I almost feel like they came up with the idea first, then developed that
gameplay feature
later.

EDIT: By the way, I still have absolutely no clue what one of the near-ending lines meant.
After fighting Genesis, Zack says "Don't tell me that---from the very beginning you were---?"

What?????

OK I just picked this game up and I must say, it is definitely exceeding my expectations. I approve.

haha, i saw you asking about it last night, and i was thinking "that guy will totally buy it." glad you're enjoying it.

Finally arrived in the mail, but I am wanting to go through FFVII beforehand first.

Is that a smart decision or should I just go through Crisis Core regardless?

I haven't played FFVII yet but Im' really enjoying Crisis Core and I'm gonna play FFVII after, I think that'll flow nicely.

In other news... the final boss is spankin me.

The cheapest one I saw is cduniverse.com, €27 shipped. If you find it cheaper somewhere please PM me ;)

I thank thee. I didn't find it cheaper anywhere.

Is there like a new game+ mode here? I think I'll sell this away before PAL-release but if there is a mode like that, then the save data isn't compatible.

BTW, Zack at Costa Del Sol was pretty funny.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but
the CC:FFVII Ultimania says that Genesis turned good after the game, and he actually wants to save the world now. Also, during the game he's acting like a kid who wants to be a hero and save the world, but because of his degrading he can't, so he goes crazy and wants to destroy it. MAYBE, just maybe (I'll finish the game for the second time soon, so maybe I'll get a better idea), Zack noticed that Genesis actually wanted to be good.

No not the part I quoted but I didn't want quote and have it twice..lol

I feel a bit thick for not having thought of that. It makes sense, of course.

You tagged the exact sentences I was talking about. Basically anything story related or pieces of that game that someone would want to look forward to and not know beforehand or that isn't common knowledge.

I see. Thanks for bringing my attention to the potential spoilers in my original post.

I need to play more today but don't think i can. but I beat
ifrit

This game WAY exceeded my expectations

The story is amazingly well told. It actually tells the core FF7 story
(Jenova, Sephiroth)
better than the original

Feels very modern in setup and the gameplay is really fun once you get past the very basic intro-levels.

Best PSP game imo
 
I played a bit of this yesterday (in between my first sessions of multiplayer MHF2) and it is great so far. Even on easy it seems far from a button masher. Zack is already one of my favorite FF heroes.

I think that should be
an unlockable outfit after you beat the game or something.

Ever play FFVII?

If so, you'll probably get the connection.

Cloud does squats on occasion in VII.

Nope. But thanks for bothering to reply without answering my question.

You never played FFVII? It is a pretty funny self-reference :lol

Gotcha. I purchased a Greatest Hits version of it last year and I beat Disc 1, but I never got around to beating the rest of it. Thanks for clearing that up.

In FFVII, Cloud competed with naked body builders for pretty wigs... and in CC, Zack is getting
wagon parts
. lulz.
 
Is it odd that I've only completed the second main mission but I've already done 10% of the sidequests? For some reason, I just can't stop doing them...

Am I playing the game the right way?

Also, am I the only one who's really fucking annoyed that I've got dozens of materia and a dozen items, yet I can only equip 4 materia and 2 items? I hope this expands Lost Odyssey-style, because it's really annoying having so many things that I just can't use.

If I'm remembering correctly, there was a squat minigame in ff7.

You'll get more Hard and Very Hard missions if you do them as the game goes along. All the label means is that the monsters tend to be a certain level.

I'm really dreading that part when they eventually remake the game.

Fuck I hate how you can skip cutscenes. I keep dying against
Genesis
and have to watch this cutscene over and over. I thought we were PAST this game devs!

Seriously. There's no real excuse for unskippable cutscenes in this day and age.

.. Of course, if it were a lesser game, I would have stopped playing a long time ago. But anyway..

Got through a whole load of crap in the past two days. So far, I just got past
Bahamut Fury. What the crap? Isn't he supposed to be Neo Bahamut?

- The Sector 5 Church theme is pretty much the best piece of music in the entire game so far.
- Hojo is my new hero for calling LOVELESS "drivel".
- I have no idea what Angeal is doing.
- Zack and Aeris actually make a good couple. Unlike a certain blonde spikey-haired depressant...

Um they weren't naked. The black guy you challenge clearly has on a tshirt.

The last time I played VII was a few years ago. I guess I mixed it up with the honey bee manor guy (who was nearly naked anyway!).

Wait, you didn't dig that part? It was hilarious! And the squat-minigame is legendary.

Cloud cross-dressing will look a little weird with normal/realistic sized character models. Unless the decide to go super deformed again... which still made him look awkward, haha.
 
Taking it slow but enjoying it. I'm just after the
Bahamut
fight and only 7% missions (mostly a couple scenarios in full sequence including Very Hard missions).

I like the DMW system well enough as an entertaining and defining part of this one game, but I wouldn't to see it again after this. Case in point, I replayed that first
Ifrit
fight just for fun...but the second time I got a level up and two materia level-ups when the first try gave neither. Minimal sense of gaming achievement there.

Audio and visuals are impressive. Zack comes off nicely so far as an agreeable hero. Also at times looks to me like a morph of junior Tom Welling/Chris Cornell in cg.

Not coincidentally, I started replaying FF7 as well, and it is neat seeing some references crossing over between the games. I happen to be right in the middle of that (in)famous comic-relief scenario being referenced by others right now.

God this is ANNOYING. Save point is far away from the boss so you have to fight 2-3 sets of fights before getting to him and you have to watch 5+ minute cutscene before fighting him EVERY SINGLE TIME. And he's got moves that kill me in one shot. UGH ;LADF J;Ldsjf

Then go do some missions? D:

Vital Slash?!

By the way, I beat the game. It was amaaaazing. <3

So far the game on normal is *super* easy. I'm curious whether I just haven't gotton to anything that's hard... or the hard mode is *really* hard.... or you people are weak.

(I'm equipped with like a crap ton of HP+100%'s and 4 power wrists).

I played on normal because I just want to play through the story and don't have time to bother with hard battles. Most of the game IS really easy, though I did die once in one of the ending battles and had a couple close calls. The majority of my random battles ended in 5-10 seconds.

<shrug> I don't really care if the game is easy.
