Not too far from finishing breeding a gold chocobo, as we speak.

You Bastard!!!

Wark?

 

[Mejilan]

Kweh!

 

[Ferrio]

I *really* wanna replay 7... but I'm convinced myself not to and wait for the eventual remake. It'll make the game that much sweeter.

 

[greatestjediever]

It may have simply been my memory stick. I heard that formatting the stick may help but I haven't tried. I might try it out if I feel the need to pick the game up again, but right now I'm in the middle of a MGS marathon and may even replay FFVII again.

 

[Stumpokapow]

FWIW I'm playing off the memory stick and I haven't experienced any loading, period. No delays ever. I'm about 6-7 hours in.

 

[Mejilan]

Yeah, backup your data and reformat the stick. It can't hurt, at least.

Also, if you have it compressed as a CSO, try reripping the game as a regular ISO.

The Memory Stick needing to be formatted is indeed the problem. Why, I don't know.

 

[Mejilan]

Memory sticks, like harddrives, can get fragmented and begin to perform poorly as a consequence.

same here, I've wanted to revisit it, but the graphics have not held up well especially after playing Crisis Core

 

[Ken Masters]

what's the name of that piano song that plays in the main menu and on the game select screen?

 

[jiggle]

"Theme of CRISIS CORE ''Successor''"

 

[Ken Masters]

"Theme of CRISIS CORE ''Successor''"

I just heard that track



it's different though then what's played in the menu and start up screen

 

[Dot50Cal]

Say guys, whats the last "summon" DMW? I can't seem to find it and I'm at the end game, around 70% through the missions. Did I miss it somewhere?

 

[Mejilan]

I wish I could put CFW on my PSP2K. T_T

This game makes me want to rip FFVII and play it on the go.

Gold Chocobo in the stable. You can see her Black Chocobo daddy too!

Gold Chocobo up close.

Gold Chocobo helping me secure some phat lewtz!

 

[disappeared]

My god does the music in CC fucking rock. I finally got to hear the remixed battle theme and I paused the game just to listen to it for a few minutes.

So glad I bought a 4 gig memory card before I got this game. Minimal load times ftw!

Seriously, I'm now tempted to mod my PSP just to copy this game to a memory card. The constant fetching of data via the UMD drive (save for battles which are like butter) is a big negative point.

 

[mattiewheels]

so, how am i supposed to beat angeal (when he morphs with all those animal things) when his attack does more damage than my hitpoints?

ready to give up, tried more than enough times and watched the long battle intro too many times...bad writing FTL

 

[Monocle]

I don't recall this specific battle, but if he's hitting you physically you need to boost your VIT stat. Equip accessories accordingly. Use a Barrier materia if you have one. (Edit: Some materia come with a VIT boost. You might check your inventory for those too.)

Fuck anyone who says VII looks bad... there's more work put in to areas you spend 5 seconds in, than all of P3:s dungeons for example :lol

The character models are what stick out like a sore thumb to me. Otherwise the fantastic art design more than makes up for the game's graphical shortcomings.

And Gold Chocobo ftw, tho I just beat Ruby nowadays when replaying to get it.

Do some precious item and materia missions, get lots of HP+ materia.

 

[Fuu]

Theme of CRISIS CORE ''Dreams and Pride'", maybe?

 

[KTallguy]

Wow, Gold Chocobos...
I actually went through all that trouble too
I think it really felt worth it back then, to do all that work.
Newer Final Fantasies haven't had as much of an awesome bonus like that for breeding Chocobos or whatever.

I wonder what FFXIII chocobos will look like.

ride his ss and have Elemental Ward + Thundaga equipped. he can't hurt you with that thunder attack since it replenishes your energy :lol

 

[belvedere]

Beat this last night.

Despite knowing what was going to happen in the end I still wasn't prepared and I nearly broke down.

For whatever reason it really hit me. Even more than that certain part in FFVII.

Sigh

 

[xBerserker]

Anybody have any tips for beating the hornets in the later missions. I can kill them (with thundaga) if I get to them quick enough, but if I don't they take me out with one shot and I have full life .... around 9,000 or so.

 

[Ken Masters]

how does the level up system work?



I know you need a 7/7/7 to lvl up but is that slot machine just random at the end of battle?



and what is that slot machine in the top left corner during battle?

RTFM?

Slot machine spins continously through battle, if it lands on 777 you level up. It's not totally random, as there's a hidden exp number that the player can't see that influences the slot machine.

so does the player have any say or influence on it during battle? and are you supposed to press something while it spins after battle?

Nope, just watch them roll.

 

[Ken Masters]

Nope, just watch them roll.

why is there a delay in action? I would attack but it would happen after a delay, what's the point of it?

 

[joelseph]

This game suprised me with how good it is.

 

[Ferrio]

Because it's kinda psuedo turn based.

 

[hiryu]

I'm enjoying this game way more than I expected. I guess I have a nostalgic soft spot for FFVII. Also, Zack is a pretty great main character for a game.

Ditto. I felt I would dig it before I started, but I didn't know I would like it this much.

And yeah, Zack rocks.

 

[Fusebox]

I did the "1000 Shinra Soldiers" mission yesterday, felt like a good 45 minutes worth but it was surprisingly fun. Dud reward though.

The reward

Spoiler

Mug

is pretty good, you'll need it if you want to grab tons of materia to do some serious powerlevelling.

 

[LordK]

I just finished it. It was okay up until about 3/4th of the game and then it got really good. The ending is now one of my favorites. I was losing my FF7 love with all that crap that was released for it, but this has renewed my faith in Square and FF7. Though I'm sure the next cell phone game will bring me back down .

Sorry. :lol

But I actually got that from a blog app flash game from Square Enix Members website, so blame them.

Any tips for getting through this series of missions? I keep getting killed at the end of 9-6-1 with a level 74 Zack. Triple Cactuars are painful.

 

[r.pad]

Say guys, whats the last "summon" DMW? I can't seem to find it and I'm at the end game, around 70% through the missions. Did I miss it somewhere?

Did you look in the fountain at Nibelheim?

Tell me about it. Costly Punch and Dash helped me out a bit on that one though.

Finally started this yesterday, and I've got a quick question about mission progression:

I was working on Mission 6-1-5, and I saw a Tonberry at one end and a Bomb at the other. I just assumed the harder enemy (the Tonberry) would be the boss, so I killed the bomb, which completed the mission (oops)... So I did the mission again, this time making sure I killed the Tonberry, but as far as I remember, all it did was unlock Mission 10-2-1.

What I want to know is, did I miss out on a reward from the Tonberry itself, because I waited until the second go-through to kill it? And, did I mess up the mission progression in any way? I'd assume "no," but after playing FFX-2, I know Square Enix can be total bastards about that kind of thing.

For that matter, are there any "screw up" points in the missions? Like, minor things you can miss that'll permanently screw you out of unlocking future ones? Or any points of no return for missions that I need to know about (besides after heading to Nibelheim)?

Thanks for any help.

If you beat 10-2-3 you get Tonberry in the DMW.

Ah, I haven't tried Dash yet. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

I haven't gone through all of the missions, but I don't think there are any missions that you can screw yourself out of other missions per se. Most of the missables are from not speaking to people during the main chapters of the game.

 

[roxya]

Umm....... wow. The last quarter of the game... just... wow.

Some of the music towards the end was just awesome. Not a fan of the heavy rock stuff, but the acoustic guitar tracks on the other hand... and the song that runs at the end... so glad they didn't try to translate it to English. Even though I never understood a word, it was amazing and with what was happening, really emotional.

Definitely one of my best gaming experiences, regardless of the combat system or difficulty.

 

[rollingstart]

Im doing a mission right now and im wondering if there is anyway to get this asshole enemy to stop doing mace boomerang. This is bullshit, I take a step, he does mace boomerang, I heal use cure, I take another step, he does mace boomerang again.

 

[Kuran]

Is there a "point of no return" in this game, where you won't be able to unlock some of the missions?

 

[Dead Prince]

Is there a "point of no return" in this game, where you won't be able to unlock some of the missions?

IDK. some missions unlock if you talk to an NPC so if you missed them in an area it probably won't show. I missed a few and them some trying to rush to finish.
