Lookie what I\'m playing

[GmanJoe]

Yeah....just found out the hard way.

I just aquired the submarine and I\'m going to do the Gelnika side-quest.I\'ve already been there but I\'m going back today.

There are some very good items in there like Yuffie\'s ultimate weapon and Cid\'s lvl 4 limit break.
When I got out of the Gelnika yesterday there was this huge monster swimming right in front of me.He wasn\'t there before.From what I\'ve read I assume this is Weapon.



I defeated the Carry armor to get the submarine and he was surpisingly easy.Alex\'s FAQ mentioned that he was one of the toughest bosses in the game so i came prepared.I had all my limit-breaks filled up including Yuffie\'s and Barret\'s lvl4 limit break.

First I got my defense up by casting Big Guard.Then I unleashed my Limit-Breaks on him and after that I just used my most powerfull magic attacks like Ultima,Bolt 3,Comet,Phoenix etc.

He went down pretty fast.


Meanwhile the storyline went from tragic to less tragic.

Tifa and Cloud were in the lifesteam together and Tifa was in Cloud\'s subconscious trying to make him remember.We learn that Cloud was with Sephiroth and Zack as a Shinra soldier so he watched all the events.

My question.Did Cloud know he wasn\'t Zack and just made the story up on purpose(less tragic) or did he actually think he was Zack,because of all the experiments on him with Jenova cells,and he got his memory\'s mixed up with reality(tragic)?


My theory is that he actually thought he was Zack untill he remembered(when Tifa was in his subconscious) he was a soldier at the time.


When Cloud was telling the story,of him and Sephiroth reaching Nibbelheim, to everyone why didn\'t Tifa say:"That wasn\'t you who was with Sephiroth,it was Zack"?

Was she afraid what it might do to him?



Aargg........so many questions.

[GmanJoe]

I also tried to get an understanding of Cloud\'s history. But the story has too many flaws and inconsistensies that I just skim through most of the dialogue.

However, my theory is that Cloud being affected by Mako poisoning may have caused him to become a memory sponge since he was wounded in the same area where Zack died. Even Tifa was slightly affected but she never entered the area where Jenova was being held at.

As for bosses, remember to check if there is anything to steal before finishing them. I stole a couple of armors from the Ultima Weapon you gotta fight about 5 times.  That\'s the one that flies about. I also managed to learn his enemy skill. Forgot the name.

Right now, my party is so lethal since they all have Counter Materia that physical attacks by the enemies have shortened the regular battles significantly.

About to re-enter Midgar for a stroll down memory lane. Killed off Diamond Weapon easily.

Cloud was part of a jenova experiment set up by hojo which made him believe he was Zack. He was injected with jenova cells in order to try and make a sephiroth clone. Hojo thought the experiment was a failure so he didnt give cloud a number and let him go on with his life. The reason why cloud thought he was Zach was because of the jenova cells. Then when Sephiroth and the weapons and jenova all met up at the crater and everyone was there Hojo revealed his Jenova Reunion experiment(all the people in the black cloaks and cloud). This is also where Hojo finds out the Cloud\'s experiment was a success.

So now cloud relizes he is an experiment that was considered a failure.

hmm, interesting story there that kind of clear up my confusion of understanding the story too.  I understand the story better now...

anyway, Gmanjoe, I think the enemy skill you learn from weapon is gigashadow, name sound familiar?

BTW, for some strange reason, My FF7 Save file was corrupted.  It was deleted.

while playing a different save file for my nephew and nieces, I save it on my 3rd file as my 1st file is an old FFVII file in disc 3.  2nd file is my recent game that I save while in the ship that take me to Costa Del Sol.  The 3rd save file was the file i play new for my nephew/nieces.  I save the 3rd save file while in Midgar, I open it up, and realize my 2nd save file was deleted.  I thought i accidently save my 3rd file over my 2nd one.  So, yesterday, i brought the game and the disc over my nephew/nieces house and play it until i finally got out of Midgar again, and last night, i save it again.  the screen froze, and the file wasn\'t save.

And I reset the game and check the save file,  this time file 2 was missing as if it were deleted.  Only my old save 1 file is still there.  weird.  Something is going on with my psOne memory card.  This is a Sony brand memory card with 15 save files and this is probably the first time i ever experienced something like this on sony memory card.

So now, if I want to play FFVII again, I guess I have to play it all over again from the beginning.  *sigh*...

Wooo!  Just finished the Shrina HQ part.  Can\'t wait to beat it for the 5th time.

Sorry about your save file. Hmmm....I might have to save mine twice. I know I saved one just before I started the Chocobo breeding but that\'s early in Disk 2 when Cloud is still babbling in that hospital. At least he got a good blow job from Tifa....well....it looked like she was giving him head.

I just entered the subway tunnels of Midgar again. But instead of heading north in the tunnel to initiate the Turk battle, I head south and picked up the W-Summon materia! I put that on Cloud\'s triple points AP slot and battled the Turks for a base point of 800AP! THAT\'S 2400AP for the W-Summon! I need two if I plan to finally kill Ruby.

I\'ve never defeated Ruby. Emerald I have defeated back in 1997 but Ruby kept killing me. This was when FF7 was still new and no one yet knew about killing off yer two companions for the Ruby battle. This time...I will defeat Ruby before disk 3.

[/B]

If I remember well when Cloud mentioned "his" story with Sephiroth at Nibelheim Tifa was indeed puzzled,She did say later in the game that she found Cloud\'s story strange.

 The reason why she didnt mention anything is probably because she couldnt even remember him being there at all.She didnt know he was one of the soldiers.She didnt know he was there.So how did he knew all this?Something wasnt right.She wasnt sure if it was her that didnt remember things right.

I just got the W-Summon and Cloud\'s Omniflash Limit at the Battle Square in gold Saucer.

I should have wone earlier but sometimes the final battle will have the pirate ship thing tossing me away. That\'s cheating! Gonna go master the materias and take on Emmi.

[Cerberus]

Just got out of wutai myself after doing the side quest. That\'s got to be one of the shittiest bits of FF7, I could hardly be arsed with all that chasing around, but once I\'d started, I thought I might as well carry on, as the only reason I went was to get the leviathon materia.

I did the pagoda levels without too much jip, except for the last one, the inconsiderate twat kept healing himself...  bastard. So I was like on that last level for about 15 minutes.

I think I\'m going to do some serious leveling up on the wutai continent before I move on. It seems pretty decent for leveling up purposes, and you get some good gil payouts and xpotions as well, so it\'s not all that bad.

[GmanJoe]

When you get the Tiny Bronco, go th the map\'s southeast islands. There\'s a jungle there that gives out at a minimum of 320 AP for your materias. Of course, your people level up quite fast too. I used my double and triple counting weapons and armor for fast materia growth.

[Cerberus]

On the same island as mideel?

heh...damn it....you made me buy a PSone with lcd display just so I can play FF7 for the fifth time

the display rules btw!

anyone know where i can get a morph materia?

Yes. Excellent EXCELLENT place to level up and master your materias. Stay in the jungle coz the grassland has this chicken looking horse that casts confuse and that creature is solo and give only 80AP points. The jungle has no less than 3 creatures that give 240AP points. 4 creatures yield 320 total.
