2X Cut

[Mercen-X]

Most main characters have different attacks dependent on whether you're using regular, D.blow, Morph, 2xCut, Long Range, or Slash-All.

Has anyone ever hacked the game to see what Aerith would do using 2xCut?

Personally, I like to name these unique takes on the attacks.

I have finally went to using gamesharks just so I can still love the early titles more now. I've spent over 13 years playing the games without. Now the new ones are so disappointing that I resort to it for extra characters. I have used it in final fantasy VII for Aeris (which sucks cause she is always in the party now) and in Final Fantasy VIII to get Seifer and Edea.

To answer the question Aeris is able to use all the materia in the game. When using double cut she just runs towards the enemy and twirls her weapon for an attack. Its effective but cause she was meant to be used only on disk 1 she doesn't do the damage other characters can.

whatttttt?? there's gameshark codes to have aeris in your party? or squall and edea for ff8? I thought those were only rumors

Technically all three are in the party, albeit temporarily. So it's resonable to asssume that there's a code to add them in.

Have you tried using Great Gospel against later bosses? It sounds awesome to try.

Yes I have and to tell you the truth, while it heals and protects you... damage is more fun. It can make quick work with Emerald and Ruby although Ruby is so flawed once you cast hades no matter who is fighting him. One thing I know about having secret characters is that you can't take them everywhere or do everything because of crashes. If you are at your in-game then its fun though to play with other characters and build them up. It gave me something to do.

While I'm playing the games again, and having fun again, I would like to mention that Final Fantasy VII wasn't as clean when it came to cheating for extra characters. For 1, you get aeris like she was AFTER you lost her at the temple of ancients. That means she is stuck in there like she was before she left. Another thing is that while you can play as Sephiroth and Choco-Boy when you enter battle their HP falls straight down to 0. In Final Fantasy VIII you can do anything with Seifer and Edea but exclude important events and the dolet inn.

Yes, you can use a Gameshark or any other memory editing device to allow Aerith and Sephiroth to be in the party at any time.

In Final Fantasy VIII, you can use a Gameshark or any other memory editing device to allow Seifer, Edea, Laguna, Kiros, and Ward to be in the party even though they are not meant to be in the party at the same time as the other characters.

I looked into it and Laguna and his team can't be in there as they are based off of certain characters in squalls party and it differs at different times. Doing so crashes the game cause if you place the two characters in the game they can not hold the same GFs magic and what nots. I have found a code before that would allow you to change squalls characters with lagunas but there are still chances of major bugs. I think Ward is always the same junctions as Zell. but Kiros changes often. Squall and Laguna are always the same too as far as I know.

Who is Choco-Boy and do you need to revive him in battle or does he just stay dead?


BY THE WAY: The attacks I most often name are the Deathblows. Cloud's Drop-Slash (the Braver), Barret's Stressed Backhand and Wind-up Shot, Tifa's Spinning Kick, (I've forgotten Aerith's), Red XIII's Backflip (which he technically also does during 2xCut), Yuffie's Target Lock, Cait Sith's Haymaker, Vincent's Trick Shot, and Cid's 1-Handed Lunge.
The three characters with long-range weapons tend to change the most when using Mug, but Vincent and Barret don't do anything different when using 2xCut. I noticed for the first time that when using different gun-arms on Barret, he attacks in different ways. For machine-gun types, he holds his gun-arm with his left hand. For laser types, he turns his gun-arm sideways and goes "gangsta." By now, everyone knows what his short-range attack looks like and it also doesn't change with 2xCut.

Yes he falls dead and can not be revived. Same thing happens if you bring in sephiroth or level 1 cloud. I'm sure the right hacker could find a code to use these characters but my gameshark is V.2.1.
