Yup. I'd go with the PC version though, if you don't like some of the music, you can easily change it.

I have PC version, and don't forget you'll probably want to buy the Chains of Promethia expansion pack as well. But, if your not going to make a big commitment, then don't bother with it, you have to wait a while to actually get into any of that.

BTW, Che, what PM mission are you on? Also, what rank are you? And what nation?

I have the PC version, and even if you have a decent computer it'll run well. If you're not sure though, google "Vanadiel Benchmark" which rates your computer performance for FFXI.

If you'd like, I can give you a worldpass so you can be on my server. That way I can help you out and send you some items/equipment/gil to start out with.

None of the Promy's are that hard, but I guess Holla would be the hardest, just because the place is hell to navigate. Truth be told, I think I had to do Dem 3 times before we won, we just were unlucky the other two times; for instance, my eagle eye shot missed completely O_O

And my character is a Windurstian Hume, rank 7, and I'm on the hardest of the PM missions, 2-5 ><.. It's a BCNM against three... things.. that can randomly change jobs at any time, and can use two hours.

That is horrible. I'd feel horrible if Hundred Fists completely missed (It misses some shots, but all in all it works well). There was discussion about making EES 100% accurate. Now, I'm no Ranger, nor do I plan on taking it up soon, but no 2-hour should ever fail completely.

Reliving the Fantasy

IF you were cruising the internet through the week of E3, you probalby read abot SE's hot to trot FFVII tech demo, which was shown during Sony's preshow press conference to help convey the power of the PS3. Unfortunatly, you probably also read how Square's president denied that the footage meant a remake of its colossal PS1 role-playing game was in teh works. Put away the kleenex, people; we have it on very very(notice the double verys) good authority that the compnay is indeed brinign a visually updated version of FFVII to PS3. Any other details? Well, Aerith stilld ies in this versoin, so maybe you should keep those tissues within arms reach.

Ever think they're cheaper because they're crappier? Also Playstation just generally has a better selection of games than any Nintendo system minus SNES.

We've seen with FFX and X-2 that Square absolutely suck balls at making new things. They're the Dream Theater of the video game industry. Go back to your roots, maybe they'll remember what makes a good story while remaking VII.

spliting up your party was great in FFVI. it took full advantage of the number of characters you can conrtol.

they should have done the same thing in FF9, where you split into groups of 4 to get into Terra. i was dissapointed - you only did a boss fight with zidane and quina.

every last level should be like FF6's - using all, if not most, of your characters to complete it.

Well in VII they had the two paths where you split up (not that that mattered), and then Bizarro Sephiroth had the three groups you fight it with (not that KOTR didn't take care of that bastard). And in VIII you had the two groups in Ultimecia's castle, and in the final battle all the characters could be used. And then in X... well, you always could use all your characters.

well, you know, other games apart from final fantasy

6's last level was pretty complicated and long compared to the others. and there were more characters so you couldnt get away with just having 3 or 4 good characters.

in the other final fantasies, you can swap the abilities and stats between character and character (materia, junctioning), so that made it a lot easier.

http://www.coolrom.com/snesroms3.php

This is the site I usually use for ROMs, but I'm sure other people would know more about this than I would.

Everyone always talks about using seperate parties in the final Sephiroth battles, but I've never even had the option. :confused: Even if I did I wouldn't switch - Cloud with Omnislash and KOTR gets the job done with no trouble.

It depends on how well you do vs. Jenova, and then you can just use KOTR whatever happens.

FFVI was great because it was 2d with sprites. I don't think it would transfer over well.
That's true. It probably wouldn't work too well, but I just love the game so much, and the ending is so open. By far my favorite RPG of all.

I never found any of the final bosses difficult at all. It's like once you beat Emerald and Ruby the game is absolutely no challenge at all anymore.

Yeah, and Emerald and Ruby are easy once you know how to take em. Maybe without doing all the extra stuff to get all the best weapons and materia, the final bosses would be tougher. I'll have to do that sometime.

I bred one. The Desert Rose is a pretty useless prize because if you're beating Ruby, its way, way, way easier with KOTR, which requires a gold chocobo already.
I remember how I almost missed it my first time through the game.

Very true.

I guess I took the hard way then. Ruby wasn't that much harder without KOTR due to the 2x Magic - Bahamut ZERO - Mime thing I did.

MAthiAS
07-01-2005, 02:09 AM
True. I guess its not really an issue of harder just less time consuming. My materia combo was like KOTR-HP Absorb, Quad Magic-Bahamut ZERO, W-Summon, Mime. Teh pwn.

I killed sephiroth at a fairly low level... 60-70ish, but it wasn't easy, nor did i do it on my first try. I'm not the best out there, by any means.


Killing ruby was simple with Hades, though. Paralyses him.

Emerald was far more difficult. I was very glad to have final attack-phoenix.

Here's the secret to beating the weapons. Link Counter to Mime, KoR to MP Absorb, another KoR to HP Absorb, and W-Summon. Dont put on any other materia, as Emerald has an attack that does 1000 damage for every materia you have equipped. Cast KoR with W-Summon and you'll get all your HP and MP back with the absorb materia. Then, every time he hits you, Counter/Mime will take effect and you'll counter with two KoR summons.

Emerald's Aire Tam Storm does 1111 hp for every materia so if you have a high level character with 9999hp and two materia at full health when Emerald uses ATS you will get "all lucky 7's" with that character. That and a few KoR is all i needed.

IF you do it correctly you should destroy Emerald before he gets a chance to use Aire Tam Storm.

I'm pretty sure there's a way to beat it with only one KOTR. I'm sure I've never bothered to master it before. I think it went like this:

One character with KOTR linked to HP absorb, Phoenix linked to Final Attack, and W-Summon. All three with Mime and preferrably with mastered HP Absorbs. Just W-Summon KOTR and Mime it repeatedly.

As I recall, Miming doesn't use up MP, and it wil still heal you whenever you use it. Just rinse and repeat untill it dies. Ruby is a little different.

To the guy who mentioned Vincent as Sephiroth's father: He's not. Hojo is. Vincent loved her and was pissed off after Hojo used her for his experiments (he injected her with Jenova cells).

You have to go to Tifa's house and play a certain song on the piano. It's a long combination of keys to play so I don't know it off hand. You could check any FAQ site or whatever to get it. You'll get her limit manual Final Heaven and a letter from Zangen, her instructor, about what happened after the Sephiroth incident.

I'm pretty sure there's a way to beat it with only one KOTR. I'm sure I've never bothered to master it before. I think it went like this:
Yeah, its KOTR-HP Absorb, Final Attack-Pheonix, Quad Magic-Hades or Bahamut ZERO, Mime, W-Summon, and then Magic Pluses enough to get max magic, HP pluses for max HP, and MP pluses for max MP. You only need one character, and you don't even need Command Counter, its a waste of time and effort getting it.

Just do Bahamut ZERO (4x) and KOTR, then mime that, then you'll still have enough MP after you get killed and resurrected. I'm pretty sure I was only killed once.

I never liked FF8, FF6 and 7 still do the most for me story wise. 8 went a bit to soapy for my taste..

Cloud > all other main characters
I agree, but Squall was a lot like Cloud. I mean a lot. Squall just had a less interesting backstory and different situation.
what 17 year old guys aren't?
I know I am...
/is 15 and agrees :upset:
I guess that's part of why I hated Tidus, its people like that you hate in real life, whereas with Cloud and Squall its like playing me, in a totally different world obviously.

And Zidane was different but cool, I wish he stayed with Tantalus though, that way Steiner and Quina wouldn't be in the game.

Yeah. Story-wise, those characters did nothing. But as party members they had attacks that did some hefty damage.

In FF8, I always junction 100 Meltdowns to Squall's attack. It works wonders, because it pretty much wipes out any enemie's Vitality points.
i used meltdown for vitality, you get ALOT of stat gain. this is what my zell had, and he was unstopable:

hp - full life
attack - ultima
vit - meltdown
magic - pain
spirit - reflect
speed - haste
evade - tornado
hit - triple
luck - death

I didn't really like IX much. Tactics is excellent and I've never played IV either. I'd like to try the first two. Maybe I'll spend a little cash and give X another chance since there were many things about it that I liked.

On FFVIII what junctions do you find really useful?
I always junction Pain to status attack. it makes it easy to beat just about anything with 100 of them junctioned.

drain's quite good on status attack too. if you have 100 drains, you recover whatever damage you inflicted.

i only really need good hp and good attack, because meltdown lowers any enemy's defence to zero, even omega weapon. so meltdown on enemy + aura on zell/squall + limit attack = dead enemies

HP - Full Life
Strength - Ultima
Vitality - Meltdown
Magic - Tornado I think, maybe Demi or Flare
Spirit - Flare I think...
Speed - Triple

As far as status, I would put zombie at attack and holy at elemental attack, it pwned.

reflect is better on spirit. its easier to get as well. and death or pain is better than tornado on magic. the rest are the best possible ones (even though ultima is best on all apart from speed and hit)

what if the enemy is immune to holy ;)

i usually kept elemental attack blank, because normal attack after meltdown always does 9999 for me.

It is a limit break of Selphies that kills all enemies in battle. It doesn't work for Ultimecia or undead enemies, or at least I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

I once read that Squaresoft were originally planning on it being possible to revive aeris on FFVII. It involved the sick guy in the tube in midgar (you know which one i'm talking about? he had number 2 tatooed on his arm.) revealing himself to be an ancient. Has anyone else read anything about this? Square blocked off that part of midgar in disc 2 and 3 because they couldn't finish it in time for the release date.

Also I discovered something amazing.
If you return to midgar using the key from bone village, walk into the church and look in the centre of the flowers, for about a second a ghost like image of aeris will appear!

I personally think its better than Aeris stays dead. Just because that way the ending isn't too happy...
