Replaying FFVII for the first time in years...
Well, I am intending to finish. I've started and abandoned several playthroughs.
I found an awesome hack that totally changed the gameplay. Well, not totally, but it has a lot of neat additions that rekindled my interest in playing through the game.
-Hundreds of enemy modifications.
-Extensive Weapons Modifications. Use of previously unused damage formulas. Weapons for Young Cloud and Sephiroth
-Armor and Accessories Modifications.
-Magic/Summons have been extensively modified. Fat-Chocobo replaces Titan and Each of Odin's attacks are on their own materia. No more KOR, but try out Zantetsuken
-A few new items for inducing Limit Breaks and Transformed status and power-ups
-New materia! Not only new materia for new spells, but many independant and support materia have been modified.
-Toggle 2x and 4x cut between multiple (random) enemies, and single enemy.
-New character portraits
-If you have a gameshark hacking program you can use control Sephiroth and Young Cloud with Limit Breaks and they level up! (I can provide the codes at a later time)
-A buncha other stuff that is more subtle and difficult to list
But yeah, I'm being beaten over the head with the Nostalgia Hammer.

How awesome is that track? And it's the theme for the tutorial, pussy-ass dungeons.
And ya know, they never did say who Cloud was talking to in his head. I'm guessing we're supposed to infer it's his "real self" but they never clarify.
And they never clarify anything about his mother, as far as i can recall. He has a flashback of seeing her, presumably when he came back to Nibelheim, but it's never addressed again. He certainly isn't screaming "you killed my mother!" at Sephiroth.
Or maybe it was Zack's mom? But I don't think so...
I do vaguely recall during the flashback that Cloud is really weird about actually going into his house. Maybe it doesn't "fit" with his incorrect memory of the events.
About to go through the Train Graveyard on my way to save the Sector 7 Slums. I hear the difficulty spikes like crazy later on but for right now I'm trying to do an Enforced Class Challenge. Cloud is a Paladin is all I've really settled on. Don't really have enough diverse materia or skills to give the other characters a "class" yet.
