Want to buuuy,

Ah cool! Shion you must take a picture and show us in Quina's Kitchen!

nice nice nice, anything with alot of meat, no (or veerrryyy little) vedgetables will do

or deserts... deserts are always good

It's an actual book. I bought a binder that says My Cookbook and it gives some decorative paper, which I ran out of and had to buy my own :P.

Ohhh!!! I love the idea. It's sort of like a compilation of different recipes from different sources which effectively makes it a meta-recipe book. I like the idea!

So, stupid question: is it like an actual book / scrapbook, or is it more of an online type thing?

HAVE FUN!

Awww! I hope you have plenty of fun!

I would always fail the huge materia QTE too - had to check a walkthru in the end. I think you HAVE to get it if you want to then unlock that particular class of huge materia if you master all of the standard ones and visit Bugenhagen for the upgrade - but that would take grinding I could never achieve without help, and God knows my sister hates JRPGs.

"I can go on about this, but Aeris is dead and its time we moved on." Do go on! Do it! The day I get over Aeris is the day a part of me is dead inside. The little Aeris in my heart, as it were.

Also -

"She's kind of cute." :jokey:

The Huge Materia subplot was really poorly developed by the writers. "Oh, Shinra is planning to use these special materia to try to stop Meteor? Let's sabotage that plan by stealing the materia because we think they're cool!" Obviously the Shinra plan wasn't going to work anyway, but the characters didn't necessarily know that, and it's not like they were doing anything particularly useful at the time.

If you want more flashbacks, I believe you're at the point where you can access one in the basement of the Nibelheim mansion about Cloud and Zack. It may just be disc 3, though; I forget exactly.

Today in Final Fantasy VII:

Cidric brought us to Mideel to check in on Cloud and Tifa. Cloud didn't seem to be making any progress, and Tifa was getting very tired. While I was at the hospital visiting, the ground started shaking and apparently the life stream was acting up. Cloud yelled something about They're coming!! We went outside to check on events and who shoul we see? Ultimate Weapon! We fought with him, and he was strangely much much smaller than he was in the cut scenes. I got in a few hits and then Cid got his Limit and then Weapon decided it was time for him to leave (jerk.) Everyone started to gtfo and Tifa started wheeling Cloud out of town. On her way out, the town started sinking, and eventually her and Cloud fell into the lifestream.

Tifa is awoken in Clouds...er.... subconscious? And in it, there are too many Clouds (one is more than enough). Tifa approaches Cloud number one, and we are brought back to Nibelhelm. We learn stuff that really happened. Like, Cloud really was at Nibelhelm, but he was one of the soldiers (the one who stopped Tifa from entering the Mako Reactor). He never made it into SOLDIER. We find out that it was Zack who went after Sephiroth in the reactor, and came flying out a few seconds later. Cloud came in and moved Tifa aside. He kept his promise to go to her when she was in trouble. He went in and saw Sephiroth in front of Jenova and stabbed him. Later, Sephiroth is seen exiting with the Jenova head. Cloud goes out to challenge Sephiroth and Sephiroth says something like, don't push your luck, and stabs Cloud in what I think is the shoulder. Cloud then lifts Sephiroth by the sword and tosses him into the lifestream.

Other memories are seen, like how Cloud always wanted Tifa's attention when they were kids, but Tifa usually ignored him. They apparently weren't all that close. She hung out with some other boys. Tifa went out to the mountains after her mother died and Cloud tried to rescue her, but it didn't work out well. He asked Tifa to meet him that starry night and told her he would become famous like Sephiroth. Anyways, long story short, Final Fantasy VII: Cloud's Identity Crisis. They wake up and everyone is waiting around for him and Tifa. Cloud is conveniently no longer a vegetable. We go back on the highwind and Cloud explains what happened and his plans from here on out.

We head over to Junon, to the underwater reactor and get a submarine. There was a boss fight that I read was supposed to be challenging, but it was one of the easiest ones, so I dunno? So we get a submarine, take some enthusiastic prisoners, and my boyfriend fires some missiles, because I can't be bothered with this. I go to an underwater airplane and fight the awesomesauce Turks (Rude is apparently incredibly slow, because I got like 3 rounds in and he didn't attack me once) and got some cool weapons and materia and such.

Then I went to a waterfall with Vincent and saw Sephiroth's mother/his girlfriend, who asks if Sephiroth is dead. Vincent says yes. There are a series of flashbacks of Vincent with his emo hair when he was in the Turks. He was shot and experimented on. He has the worst flashbacks, they don't follow very well, and only some of them actually have dialogue.

We also went to the Golden Evil to get Cloud's Omnislash from the BATTLE ARENA! My boyfriend did the mini games, because those games make me want to stab someone, and then he also did the BATTLE ARENA! because he says that is man work. I also am attempting to get the Midgar key from Bone Village, but am failing.

And that concludes today's adventures in FFVII land!

Cid's running is hilarious. It's probably the best part of the whole game.

we find out that it was not Cloud in that picture with Tifa and Sephiroth, but someone with even worse hair.

I kind of like Cait Sith as a character, though I never used him in battle.

Cait Sith is a bastard, but Tseng is sorta cool. Also, when he tells your fortune he does the Cait Sith Shuffle, which is the coolest dance.

I don't understand how you can possibly like Cait Sith. I don't think I've ever used him on purpose.

Today/Yesterday on Final Fantasy VII

We went to the Temple of the Ancients, quickly, so that I was no longer required to use Aeris. It was some pyramid looking thing and the place was pretty odd. It involved a lot of stairs and some jumping purple guys. Sephiroth and Tseng were there. Sephiroth slashed Tseng. Sephiroth caused epileptic seasures with his flashing. There were at times several Sephiroths. Aeris laid on the ground and talked to hersel.... I mean the planet or the ancients or something, a lot. I got some good materia.

We came up to a room where purple guy would hop in and out of doorways and you had to stop him as he was coming out. After several minutes of stupidity, my boyfriend and I finally figured out to just leave and come back because he always starts by coming in and going out of the same doorway. There was a boss fight with some creature coming out of the wall. Weirdo. As you can see, me explaining this part is rushed because now that it's over, I can't seem to piece it back together in my brain.

Eventually, at some point, we arrive in a room with mini-pyramid, and we learn that it is THE BLACK MATERIA capable of summoning meteor, which is much less deadly in other Final Fantasy games. We learn that someone must solve puzzles from the inside to turn it into the black materia, but as a result they will be crushed. Cait Sith selflessly volunteers himself. He tells us our fortune one last time, and Aeris actually has a social interaction that I enjoy and approve of. There is a touching moment as he heads to the mini pyramid as we escape. He trips and falls and gets back up and it is touching. It touches my heart. And then he dies . Sort of. The pyramid becomes the black materia and Sephiroth appears once more. Cloud goes weirdo and brings the black materia to Sephiroth. Cait Sith returns and I cry tears of joy. Okay, I didn't actually cry, but my eyes did sting.

I don't entirely remember what happens next because Cait Sith () but I can tell you that Cloud starts dreaming about Aeris in the sleeping forest and it is very dream like in the sense that she disappears and reappears randomly throughout the dream. I wake up in Gongaga. Cloud talks about how we have to go to Aeris. So we go to Aeris.

We go back to Bonesburg and find the harp thing to awaken the sleeping forest and head to the lost city. The place is pretty but still creepy looking. I arrive finally and the place is also pretty but creepy looking. The houses look like seashells. I finally find Aeris, who appears to be praying and after almost stabbing her (almost), Spehiroth does it for me. Pretty sure she's dead. The materia falls out of her hair and into the water. Cloud gets quite upset and tells Sephiroth to stop talking about becoming one with the planet or whatever it was he was talking about and talks about how we will never again hear Aeris talk or be sad or angry etc. Sephiroth tells Cloud he has no feelings because he's....

BOSS FIGHT. He's a puppet, says Jenova. Aeris is dead in the corner and Tifa runs off crying and Cait Sith does a dance and shuffles off. Cloud picks up Aeris and we bring her outside and he lets her go into the water. Cloud says it's time to go after Sephiroth, north past the mountains, so we do so.

And I will stop here because this is getting long. And that concludes today's adventures in FFVII!

Damn I swear I've forgotten about this amazing Let's Play.

I really enjoyed the Wutai quest. It was a last bit of real fun before the endgame of Disc One.
