Hey all, a few days ago, I started playing FF7 for the second time (the first time I only got to a bit passed the Boat at Junon, and then stopped playing), and firstly, I'd like to say that this game is absoloutely incredible. I've been playing games since i was 5, played numerous other Final Fantasies and RPG's, but I must say that this one is mind-bogglyingly awesome. Every single detail of the game so far has been honed down to the highest level of perfection. The environments, dialogue, characters, storyline/plot, the way things unravel, the battle system, everything is just amazing.
I know I sound like every noob in the country that play FF7 and it's the first RPG they ever play and they rave about it because of all the hype, but I just love this game.
Now that I've gotten that quasi-fanboyish speech out of the way, I'll get to the point. Because this game is probably going to tie with Metal Gear Solid 3, and Zelda: Ocarina of Time as my favourite games of all time, I want to make the most out of it the first time I play through. Just like Roger Ebert said, "You can only watch a movie for the first time once", well, it applies to video games as well. Granted, I've already heard a few spoilers (like aeris dieing, but noone hasn't heard that, and something about cloud being a clone of that purpe haired zach guy or something), but I'd like to keep them to a minimum in this topic.
The bottom line is: From where I am at (currently just booted out of the Golden Saucer, which sucks cuz that placed kicked ass for the 3 minutes i was there, because Barret went nuts on the place), can some of you experienced FF7 players tell me certain things (without spoiling it remember) that I really have to make an effort to do (for example, i didnt do that big fort condor fight thingy earlier, will that affect a big part of the story? I read in a FAQ when i was searching for stuff like this that it does)?
I also heard that there is some part in the game that if you go back to a town you just left, you get a special cutscene that explains extra about Zach and Cloud, i dunno if thats bs or not, but you could just confirm stuff like this with a yes/no.
Thanks for reading this, and thanks in advance to whoever helps me with it. I really, really like this game, and I want to make it the absoloute best it could possibly be without accidentally reading a bunch of spoilers.
PS: just for future reference, I already got Yuffie
