The Final Fantasy Thread 2.0 | FFXV: OUT NOW! It Really Did Exist

BudaFuka:

Grinding is seriouz business.

As far as mini-games go, I guess Triple Triad was my favorite. But all I did for strategy was try to overpower the other play with GF and character cards. I remember trying to get the Laguna from Ellie, that took me a couple of days.:wasted:

It’s Ellone. But yeah, it was hard as fuck to get the Laguna card.

Card Mod broke the shit out of FFVIII, you could be Lionhearting people’s faces before you even fight Seifer and Edea in Disc 1.

Yo, Barrett is bad as shit. I love this motherfucker. What a hardass.

Septimus_Prime:

I’ve done it. I once got all of Cloud’s limit breaks before leaving the first screen of the game that has random encounters.

Fir:

Wow, I thought that grinding towards LV2 spell achievement was more than enough at that stage of the game. Had no idea people went as far as getting 3, that’s a lot of training. Cloud’s limits are rather easy to get, I had them all just when I hit the shinra building.

How did you guys get Omnislash you can’t get it until you get to the Golden Saucer and that’s a good deal after Shinra Mansion.

Are you playing VII for the first time?

You can actually learn Omnislash, IIRC. It just takes longer than it does if you get the item.

I played it once in 2006, but for some reason, I remember almost nothing aside from hating it. Playing it three years later I’m enjoying the absolute shit out of it, so I’m gonna go ahead and assume that three years ago, I was an emo faggot.

I did not know that :wow:

First time I played FFVII was after I bought a **black label **copy for $16.

I imagine the price of it will go down from it’s absurd high now that the PSN version is out.

Really? I have never heard this or ever seen it happen and I played the shit out of FF7…

Yuna · 2009-06-19T02:39:51.000Z

I just got done playing that motorcycle minigame. Holy shit.

Radiantsilvergun3 · 2009-06-19T02:40:55.000Z

Games about to get good for you then.

I just got past the second boss battle(Airbuster or whatever his name was) with mr. Shinra Pres. Is it bad that Cloud is level 11 and Tifa and Barrett are 7 and 9 respectively? I’m looking for a place to buy some more materia, and I gave Aerith the titan bangle.

My party is fifteen-fifteen-fourteen and I just fought Rufus for the first time.
Red/Cloud/Barret seems pretty good.

To clarify I meant like all the way to Finishing Touch. Never got Omnislash till later on, and I always believed that it must of been taught than learned. I’m just as surprised as you guys are that it’s possible to learn so early.

The manual was like 32,000 BP I think. At that stage of the game, it’s just impossible to win all 7 battles without some sort of luck. Every battle they handicap you, and since there’s no ribbons or nothing you’re fucked.

Kusanagi02 · 2009-06-19T03:29:52.000Z

so did the graphics get upscaled for FFVII?

To the best of my knowledge, they did not.

Oh well, I’m still buying it.

Septimus_Prime · 2009-06-19T03:34:57.000Z

If I’m not mistaken, the PS3 will automatically upscale any PSX/PS2 games. That doesn’t necessarily imply that they’ll look better, though?just not “blurry.”

The easiest way to compare is to compare a PSX game on PS3 to a Wii game, using the same HDTV. The Wii game will most likely look better, overall, but the PSX game will still look crisper due to upscaling.

EDIT: Some non-polygonal PSX games look fuckin’ sweet on PS3, though. SaGa Frontier 2 looks great.

You certainly won’t get it cheaper by any other means.

It does. From a graphical standpoint, Final Fantasy VII has aged poorly, but the graphics aren’t outright bad.

I think it’s actually 51,200 BP before you get Highwind. And I’ve gotten it in disc 1, battle arena difficulty is overrated imo. Most times the slots don’t have too much of an effect on the battle, and you won’t be fighting retarted enemies until near the end of disc 2.
