Lookie what I\'m playing

Who knew that the thread with a stupid title like "Lookie what I\'m playing" would turn into a FF VII revival/appreciation thread?

"Lookie what I\'m playing" sounds like something a 4 year old would say.

Seriously who thinks of these stupid titles?

*everybody\'s looking at Gman Joe*

:fro:



I\'m just messing with you Gman,in fact I love you so much that I check this thread everyday to see if you posted.


Now back to...............FF VII.

[GmanJoe]

WOOT! At least someone here appreciates the greatness that is me.

I got through the Ancient Forest last night. Wow...talk about frustrating. It was fun...sorta. That left to right stage sorta reminded me of the old "Abe\'s Oddysee" game of puzzle/problem solving.

I picked up Cloud\'s three slot weapon but with triple AP points. Gonna master the hell out of KOTR materia along with Quadra and Mime.  The three deadly materias...until I get Ultima.

Well....to my great relieve I still have my Ribbon!

I\'ve been messing around in Wutai and I\'ve managed to get back my materia and defeating Rapps(the dragon in the cave)

It only took 3 limit-breaks(one from every character) to kill him.Luckily I filled them up before I battled Rapps.


I also tried to conquer the 5-stage pagoda but I got killed by the last enemy who is,as we all know, Yuffie\'s father.

He kept healing himself and I don\'t have the Reflect skill yet.In fact I forgot to buy the Barrier materia al together!

So I\'m gonna do that after I get Reflect and then I\'m sure he\'ll be a piece of cake.


When does the "pagoda quest" become unaccesable?Because I plan to do it later.I\'ve just entered Bone Village wich means I\'ll be switching to Disc 2 pretty soon.


Thanks.

[GmanJoe]

You can beat him without the Reflect! Just poison him. It\'ll keep knocking off his HP ever 5 seconds. Use the enemy skill ???? and do not heal completely so the ???? spell is more lethal.

Refresh my memory, where do you get the ???? enemy skill?

There is this enemy skill that i forgot its name that only uses about 30 MP that does haste, barrier, and Mbarrier to all party.

I forgot the name of this enemy skill but you can learn it by using Manipulation materia I believe that\'s what its called on the beach near Costa Del Sol.  have your either weapon or armor slot equip with Enemy skill and Manipulate materia, go to the beach, manipulate the beach slug enemy, and use this enemy skill that i forgot the name on your party.  Then voila, you learned a valuable enemy skill.

Also, the beach around Wutai area, there is this turtle that you can manipulate and learn its "Death Force" enemy skill.  And also around the Wutai around grassland, there is this yellow grass lookalike that you can manipulate and learn its hammer enemy skill that i forgot its name but it looks like a hammer.  Very useful enemy skill, this enemy skill drain 100 MP out of the person you want to absorb off its MP.  Could be useful to some bosses that rely heavily on magic attacks.  Such as the last boss that you fight in the 5 stage paroga or whatever that called in Wutai.

Speaking of which, I just remember i skipped an enemy skill called "L4 suicide" that I can learned by fighting this enemy that looks like a squirrel back in around the Ranch area.  The problem is, I can\'t manipulate it, the squirrels are immune to it, and its tricky to make it use the "L4 suicide" enemy skill.

Oh forgot to tell you this, you can actually go back to Wutai area and finish the bosses any time you like.  Even if you on disc 3 and your last boss is Sephiroth, you can still returned back to Wutai and complete that side quest there.  I believe it doesn\'t limit you on time.

I believe you learn this enemy skill in the mansion in Tifa and Cloud\'s hometown.

There is this weigh lookalike enemy skill that does "?" on you and you learn it.

so i get to the world map finally, and figure i\'ll steal some atomic scissors for barret from the sweepers like my guide says

wrong!

where the fuck did my steal materia go?
checked all characters and never sold a single item yet
:rpissed:

I got that earlier today, it\'s called big guard, but it costs 56mp.

It\'s pretty useful, but I\'d only really use it on tough enemies, it\'s too much effort to use it on weak-medium enemies.

Yeah.....I have all the Enemy Skills that Paul2 is talking about.

I must admit the game gets a lot easier with spells like White Wind,Big Guard,Trine etc.These are all skills learned from enemies.

I\'m just gonna continue the main storyline for now.I\'ve arrived on the northern continent and I\'ve just entered Bone Village.



One more note:The humor in this game really surprised me!

I know FF games are very serious in general but FF VII really captures the best of both worlds(seriousness and humour).

hmm, looks like bone village is where i can get one, which is like on disk 3

might start over, havent decided

meh, fuck that, 7 hours in

[Bobs_Hardware]

Haha, Atomic Scissors!

I\'m positive that you should have already picked up a Steal materia.. I definately remember stealing from every single enemy I encountered after leaving Midgar.. You just lucked out.

I think you get steal materia in the sewer in Midgar.   Where this Don Corneo Guy pulled the switch and you and your friends, Aeris and Tifa fall into the sewer.

You can also buy one too in Junon.

Well I did the second Yuffie sidequest(pagoda) and this time I made it.

I threw an item that casts BIO 3 on Yuffie\'s father and after a long fight he fell and I got the leviathan summon and ofcourse the item to learn Yuffie\'s 4th limit break.


I just popped in Disc 2 so I saw the tragic scene with Aeris.It was sad but I knew it was coming.After all....the game\'s been out for years and I\'ve read numerous Faqs.

I always thought Aeris would die at the end of the game but it turns out she dies at the end of Disc 1.


It\'s strange how you get the Princess Guard so late.The princess guard is Aeris ultimate weapon and I got it just before battling Demon\'s Gate.

After Demon\'s Gate she dissapears and doesn\'t come back.So.......then why does she have an ultimate weapon?

Unless she returns later in the game.
