Lovely. Going for a couple of pints in 5 minutes when I finish work and this can be my entertainment for the train journey home.
Good timing, Mr. Psychotic.
Does Yuffie make a regular appearance in your party going forward? If not, she should be.
How can you turn away this cutie?
http://www.wallpaperhi.com/thumbnail...rhi.com_65.jpg
I dunno. I guess she's a candidate for that post-Aerith spot. Vincent and Tifa are out of the running, so I guess it leaves Cid, Red XIII, Caith Sith and the Yuff.
Who the smurf is Yoofie? Also, why is Barret wearing a string vest? He looks like Rab C Nesbitt.
Nice quick capture of Yuffie. Her fist pumps look weird in her new incarnation though. Much like Sephiroth's 'creeping past my girlfriend's Dad's bedroom' walk in the basement of the Shinra mansion.
What are everyone's predictions for number of attempts on Mr. Dolphin? I have confidence... I reckon you'll make it on the fourth jump.
Everyone got mad when I said I would call her Yuffie. Which I think I did at one point!
...I don't want to talk about Mr. Dolphin.
It's definitely "Yuff-ee." Don't listen to those "Yoo-fee" whackjobs.
My guess on Mr. Dolphin is 7.
One of these days, a pronunciation guide, SE.
Publish a goddamn iron clad smurfing pronunciation guide for Christ's sake
I actually kind of like Elena in the Turks. The general competence of Rude (was that his name?) and her general incompetence is cute.
Also, I'm going to say... 12 on Mr. Dolphin, since you have delayed input.
Off to the sunny town of Junon, filled with people who hate the Shinra, kids who hate the Shinra, and giant fish skeletons that hate the Shinra. We meet one such hatemonger, Priscilla, who promptly gets eliminated by Bottomswell. After ye olde boss fight, we need to climb the electrical tower (because reasons) only Cloud can do it (because reasons) and we have to ride Mr Dolphin (because Mr Dolphin is a god damn badass). Hope you like failure!
Somebody count my dolphins, I'm too ashamed. :redface:
You couldn't fail twice more, could you? Just as I got hope of winning the bet, you made it. :irked:
I think Fat Chocobo just appears randomly around 15% of the time. He is far superior to regular Chocomog though.
I love the sky behind the Highwind when you see it for the first time. It's like a smurfing Turner painting. It took a while to get to that point though... ten attempts? *shakes head*
I was laughing out loud at the Cloud March and accompanying song though. I was actually in tears laughing! :lol::cry:
What a master of CPR. Remind me to call you for help when I'm unconscious and in need of first aid.
Does everyone always refer to Shinra as THE Shinra? I just find that odd. xD
This is Mr Snoops:
http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/Ac...5830-15824.jpg
The CPR bit is stupid on every level.
Cloud has to give CPR but has no idea how to do it. The old man says "No problem. Come over here and I'll show you how to do it". Yeah, this seems like a good time for a bit of first aid training. Don't worry about the little girl who is not breathing and is minutes from death. DO IT YOURSELF, YOU OLD FART.
As someone who's had CPR training many times, doing CPR is extremely tiring. I could expect an old guy to pass off the duty, since he might get a heart attack himself doing it.Quote:

I'm on Episode 14 now and just last episode we had the triple boss fights.
Before Cloud fights Rufus, Rufus said (in the video) that he and Cloud won't be "allies."
This is what he SHOULD say:
"I see. I guess this means we won't become friends."
This has just been the latest in annoying changes for me. It's just completely pointless and robs Rufus of his casual mocking tone that was the only reason to really like him.
In which I am invited to join a parade to celebrate Rufus Shinra and in which I get some poor TV producer fired. After exploring the delightful port town of Junon and meeting the Turks, can we finish on a high and win President Rufus's approval?
Aerith will be fuming. You buy the Hardedge for Cloud and then immediately gain a (superior) Force Stealer for him for free. No wonder she (SPOILER)gets brutally stabbed in the back with no decent weapon to defend herself. YOU'VE SENTENCED HER TO DEATH
Cloud's got 99 problems but Aerith ain't one.
I always have trouble sneaking into the parade, but I did pretty good on the show for Rufus.
Smurf the CPR minigame! Seriously.
Yeah, Christ that marching mini-game is just impossible. I don't think I've ever got more than 30% on there. I'm sure you get something decent for getting over 40-50% though I can't remember what it is.
The performance for Rufus though I'm pretty boss at (though it looked tough doing it on the HD mod, good job!) but I purposefully never get higher than 100. The Force Stealer is great but you can pick one up in Corel for 2200 gil when you get there. If you get between 60-90 on this mini-game, you get a HP Plus materia. You can't get hold of one of these until Cosmo Canyon and they set you back 8000 gil.
I've gotten that a few time, 46% and 48% are my best on the original playstation. You get a bunch of ethers.Quote:

Over 50% apparently gets you 5000 gil!
I think it's impossible to be good at these minigames.
In recent playthroughs I get into loads of fights near Fort Condor. I kind of have this fixation that I need everyone's first level 3 limit break before heading to Junon. This being the case I already have plenty of Gil when I'm in Junon town.
Really glad you didn't do that on this playthrough Psy, there'd be no-one left watching.
The hardest thing for me with the Rufus performance is the lefts and rights. I'm always getting those two mixed up with each other. Finally overcame that in my last playthrough. I forgot how well I did, but I did get an item. I don't remember the item, either. I haven't played FFVII since last year.Quote:

I leveled up by 3 before each boss fight on my winning playthrough.
I regret nothing!
As you'll see in next Wednesday's episode, you don't need to try to get into battles and level up! And if you think what you see is bad, I actually cut a fair few of them out too, it was ridiculous.
I think I cut some out of tomorrow's ship adventure too actually.
All aboard! We're going to sail across the sea from Junon to Costa Del Sol. The assorted members of the party do their best to pass as sailors but Barret really knocks it out of the park in his sexy outfit. Trouble brews when the Sephiroth - Jenova tag team emerges for the first time, however! Still, Costa del Sol is a lovely and welcoming place, where Hojo tans on the beach and Yuffie gets a job.
oh god I have not watched the video yet but might I say that sailor suit barrett is actually the thing of nightmares
I swoon for Sailor Suit Barrett.
I want to go to Costa Del Sol T_T
You look like a bear wearing a marshmallow. Best FF insult ever.
With it being an HD mod, surely they could have put Hojo in trunks?
You're getting a little too immersed in the manhunting.

Wandering around the dreamy and breezy heights of Mount Corel, the gang finds themselves encountering a metric ton of angry birds that all want to kiss them. We also fall through some train tracks to get treasure and steal it from some (different) baby birds too. At the end of our long trek, we arrive in Barret's hometown North Corel! Haaeeey baaaeeeby!!
Cloud: time's are tough...we're taking the treasure
Barrett: Haaeeey!! Baaeeby!

You were right, Psy. Fight central!
I always liked when Barret did his whole "Haaeeey!! Baaeeby" thing. He's normally this big, tough guy swearing all over the place and suddenly he shows his fatherly side. I can't believe you took the treasure though :mad2: It's only 10 Phoenix Downs. You pick those smurfers up all over the place!
Gold Saucer next!
Aerith was so disappointed in me when I took the treasure. I felt like a straight up prick.

Right, let's get to the Gold Saucer! Barret's still got the hump but Cloud, the girls and his magical talking lion dog creature don't care 'cause Super Dunk is in the offing! A random fortune telling robot cat thing named Cait Sith joins the party because, um, reasons. Some atrocious chocobo racing, fierce g-biking, random Mog Housing, so-so beat 'em upping and none too shabby Speed Squaring later, the disappointingly pale Dio emerges.
Pink + White = YELLOW? I think Mag has been unfaithful to poor Mog.
I had fun. We asked for it, and we got it!
Also I have never done half the things here, so it was a learning video for me.
Why am I not surprised?Quote:

Y-you're telling me that -hiccup- a bunch of freedom fighters with material and trout can't break out of a desert prison? -hiccup- That is bulltrout! ONE OF THEM HAVE A GUN FOR AN ARM!

So we murdered a guy so I guess that means we have the right to face legitimate athletes in a contest of skill! And who doesn't love a good chocobo race at the Gold Saucer? We also acquire Beta, Aqualung, White Wind and Big Guard. As if this bumper packed episode wasn't exciting enough, we have a boss battle against Reno and Rude at Gongaga and then a meeting with Zack's Parents.
It's been a while since the explosion, but you can still find the pieces it left all over town.
Catch up time...
I never did care for the chocobo races. Luckily, you only have to do it the one time so I can't complain too much. Well, I could, but I don't wanna.
In your defence, it did seem the elixir was the only way out then. Unless you had an X-potion? Ah well.
is it just me, or was Ester clearly dead/deformed on that elevator ride back to the Gold Saucer?

Bugenhagen's got the whole world up his sleeve. No, really. Ho ho hoooo! We drive our buggy into the Valley of the Fallen Star and rock up at Cosmo Canyon. Did you know that Nanaki is actually Nanaki? I, for one, did not. Time to learn how the Lifestream works!
I say "ghee" (hard "G"), but only because other pronunciations sound dumber. Of course, there is no pronunciation of "Bugenhagen" that doesn't sound retarded.
Did you know that the translation of 'Bugenhagen' from German is 'crusty old man'?Quote:

Only the Lifestream creates gravity, which is why Gravity comes in materia form.
So the planet rotates around the sun by choice? Nah, not having that.Quote:

They're just his wrist bands gosh. ...which is also kinda weird, I guess.
Nibelheim is a lovely burned out husk. Except that it isn't. Oh. At least there's all these fellas in black robes speaking perfect logical sense. We take a trip into the infamous Shinra Mansion and solve all the clues while dodging smug pumpkins, and Lost Number pops out of the safe to make things worse. After a materia-throwing duel with none other than Sephiroth, we also get a new party member - the coffin-dwelling Vincent Valentine.
All my childhood I never got Vincent Valentine. First time I didn't know how to get him, and the second time I failed at the safe. I finally didn't get him until my last playthrough last year where I named him after a friend of mine's character because he always used him as a base. Fun times.
He thinks he's so cool with his casket.
Cloud: "I don't even know what a reunion is!"
Probably should have spent more time in school then instead of smurfing around with giant swords and s**t.
To be fair, the only schools there seem to be in the entire world of FFVII are the beginners halls which are all about smurfing around with giant swords and trout. And Finger, what the hell?!
Barret: "That money's for Marlene's schoolin'!"Quote:

Mt Nibble is correct in my estimations.

This is probably gonna be one of the least exciting episodes so don't worry if you want to skip it! Nothing of importance happens. Next time is Cid and TEA and Palmer and Tiny Bronco so it's gonna be ace.
I will be rooting for Palmer to throw some lard at you.
Also I think you missed a treasure on Mt. Nibel.
Is that a rocket in your town or are you just really pleased to see us? Probably the former, nobody is pleased when we swoop into their charming little towns and raid their cupboards. We meet a charming gentleman named Cid Highwind. "Oh, you hate the Shinra? Us too, do you wa"- "Shut up, sit your ass down in that chair and drink your god damn TEA!"
Hahahahahahahaha!!
Attachment 64545
Cid gives a great rendition of the Birdy Song dance.
Also, you can't see it in a picture, but when Cid walks to the cockpit in the flashback, it is the greatest drag queen walk of all time.
12:58 in the video if anyone wants to see :p
hahahaha oh trout
Otherwise known as sex ed.Quote:

Palmer loves a cheeky wee dance.
Our hard work in alienating the girls has paid off because while visiting the Gold Saucer Barret knocks on our door late at night and we go on a date! I also show you how I got Great Gospel and the Umbrella but I guess nobody really cares about that when there's a sexy hunk of man meat like Barret ready, willing and able.
I vote for Cid. Though I think Vincent would be the natural replacement with his higher magic stat and being otherwise useless.
Also I was amused at your fear of Wutai. Avoiding the Yuffie sidequest? :p
I did a complete U-Turn on Wutai and I'm doing it next episode :shobon: I originally was going to say smurf it but then I figured we may as well get as much mileage out of Aerith while she's still, y'know...
Why does it take Cait Sith to say "I know people at the hotel. Let me talk to them."
Surely, an amusement park which has cut you off from the entire outside world will offer their hotel facilities for free?
That's like getting trapped at the top of The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, then some guy getting a crane up to you and saying "Yeah, you're gonna have to pay £50 if you wanna stay here for the night."
The same amusement park that charges you 3,000 gil a pop to enter!
God damnit Yuffie. Can I express my hatred for all things Kisaragi? Stealing my materia, hiding in the stereotypical Asian town of Wutai and generally making a nuisance of herself. There's also the Turks on vacation, Da Chao fire mountain, that wacky wacky Don Corneo, his bizarre winged friend Rapps and strangest of all, a house entirely filled with cats.
Temple of the Ancients time! Is Tseng dead? He doesn't seem to have come off too well from his encounter with Sephiroth, although based on the Midgar Zolom's testimony, a maiming is getting off lightly. Plus puzzles and chasing guys down, I guess.
This is another one of those filler ones that you can probably skip if you've only got time for one video :shobon: Next time is the one with all the boss battles and Aerith slapping!
I think I'm the only person in the world that actually likes the Yuffie sidequest, even despite her being a lying little thief. It may have helped that I only did it after I heard about the materia theft from friends, so it didn't surprise me.
I was wondering how many times the Ancient key guard could go into the exact same tunnel you did before you realized you just had to turn around and go back in. :p
smurf YUFFIE smurf ANCIENT GUARD KEY GUY also smurf the house full of cats. I like cats but I mean that's just wrong.
All caught up, ready for some inevitable sadness! What better way to recover from jetlag than Final Fantasy VII and chasing crazy hopping hat guys.
I didn't mind the Yuffie sidequest when I did it, but then I struggle to remember chunks of this game and I only played it... a year or so ago? It made no impact on me, so it must have been fine.
Isn't it weird how people have such vastly different tastes on certain sections? I loved the Wutai side quest, I thought it was a great distraction. Much better than the godawful Temple of the Ancients. Just watching that was frustrating. I hate that mother-smurfing purple guy.
Also, I love the Door Bulls. You might say, they are adoorabull! HAHA!! GEDDIT?!!!
WELL THIS IS AN INCONVENIENT PROJECT NOW HEY

It's a boss battle double feature, as we also fight Red Dragon for the right to claim the Bahamut materia! As if that wasn't enough, Cait Sith DIES. Literally straight up dies. And Cloud slaps the hell out of Aerith, that wacky prankster. What shenanigans will he engage in next? Handing over an apocalyptic superweapon to a sociopathic villain? Ho ho!
"Let me handle Sephiroth" says Aerith. Cloud and the gang head back home and leave it up to her. Everything ends up okay and the world is saved.
OR THAT OTHER THING.
There is only one logical choice for your next party member.
This guyhttp://static.zerochan.net/Yuffie.Ki...full.14306.jpg[/img]
You all knew it was coming. Yes, the Death of Aerith is nigh. Not that I will let her go gentle into that good night, of course, not without pointing out the inconsistencies in Sephiroth's gloves. Also Bone Village failure and whining about Comet in the Forgotten Capital.
good riddance
I was trying to have the many feelings that should come with this scene - however I couldn't stop staring at Sephiroth's arms.
http://i.imgur.com/TOA6uVD.png
RIP in peace, Aerith. May your sacrifice not be in vain.
...leave Sephiroth to her, my butt.
The music playing over this fight still gets me.
On MissH's first playthrough of this, she managed the reasonably impressive task of not finding out about Aeris' death. I was a bit worried actually because Aeris was by far her favourite character. I advised her to equip the Water Ring so she was always going to win this fight but she was all over the place for about 10 minutes. She was just in a state of shock.
While it wasn't nice seeing her like this it still amazed me how powerful a moment it still is nearly 20 years after the game was released
Because what we needed to get over the brutal death of Aerith was the brutal death of her father. Ah, Icicle Inn, full of whimpering, weeping, and Turks who just can't throw a punch. I forbid any and all comments on my snowboarding ability.
Ladders :argh:
RIP snow chocobo :(
In the course of the past four days, I have been steadily catching up from the very first episode all the way to this one right now, because I've only just returned recently. Naturally, I have many many comments about all the episodes but for the sake of brevity I think I'll let them lie. :p
And Psy, I've forgotten your voice! It's... heavenly! It's such a good voice-over voice. When you feel sadness during the sad parts of the game, I can literally hear it in your voice. It's very expressive.
Anyway, I'm all caught up now, so yay. It is interesting watching you play the game 'normally'. I've only ever done one playthrough and I used a few secrets like the Junon Leveling Trick to stay ahead of the curve. And I also rotated my team quite a fair bit and never had someone in my party for too long.
Finally: I've forgotten how funny Barret is :lol:
... three times down the ladder? xD Also it was totally worth it, because Magic Plus is a powerful materia that can turn anyone into a legit magic user at higher levels (and turn Cloud into a powerhouse).
I think we discovered the true reason for Cloud needing a wheelchair in disc 2: latent brain damage from snow boarding.Quote:

The Materia Keeper-style enemies in the Glacier have the Magic Breath Enemy Skill, which is a great spell -- arguably the most powerful Enemy Skill attack until Shadow Flare. IIRC, the only other place to learn it is the North Crater.

I got it though don't worry everything is fine. Magic Breath too. All the Breaths!
More shenanigans from inside Gaea's cliff. Does this sodding cliff ever end? Well, yes, yes it does, but not before fighting a two headed dragon. The Schizo Twins aren't pleased to see us. Still, with the cliffs behind us I'm sure we can find relative safety in the Whirlwind Maze, right?
I'll catch up with this once my internet is back up and running. Been charged an extra £20 this month on mobile data :mad2:
With Kjata, basically it attacks with lightning, ice and fire in that order, before revealing itself and attack normally. If an enemy is immune or absorbs any one of those elements, the entire attack is nullified or absorbed. That's the source of your Kjata troubles there.
EDIT: the black cloaks remind me of lemmings, actually. They both have a one-track mind.
Our visit to the scenic Whirlwind Maze is spoiled when Sephiroth turns up and cosplays as Tifa. He also sets his mum on us, though Jenova DEATH is quickly dispatched. Shinra show up too and it's a whole circus of insanity as Cloud learns the truth, the REAL Sephiroth (sort of like The Real Ghostbusters) makes his debut and the imaginatively named Weapons emerge just to make everyone's lives better.
I always found these scenes difficult. I know it's only text based, but I swear you can feel Tifa's hesitation and reluctance in this scene. The point where Cloud goes from "Pfft, yeah, all illusions mate" to "Please give me the Black Materia" is chilling.
Well done on the limit break thirty-nine episodes in
Also, just to throw it out there... official pronunciation of Bahamut iiiiisssss
Honestly, I think I flip-flop between pronunciations of Bahamut, depending on how I'm feeling.Quote:

So wait, I've never understood: Is Cloud really a real person with Zach's memories? Is he actually from Nibelheim? Or is he some weird goo monster?
Cloud is a real person with his own memories and he is from Nibelheim (hence why Tifa does have memories of him), but with mako mumbo jumbo he got muddled with Zack. He does get better after his invalid state.
Okay, I just never understood if he was ACTUALLY Cloud just with Zach's memories or what.
Also, fun fact: my dog does NOT enjoy the cries of the planet/WEAPONS' cries.
Funny, I find the cries of the planet quite soothing. Does that make me a monster?
No, all of the murder does that.
Hey, just so you know, video #40 is no longer working.
Thanks, I think I fixed it.
Even when I was 12, the slap fight between Tifa and Scarlet bothered me. Tifa was a badass kickboxer, and she was letting some skanky bureaucrat get in a slapping contest with her. I didn't even think "sexist," just "punch the bitch's lights out."
I never got to see this part of the game because I only ever played it on the PlayStation which doesn't have this scene.

Maybe he is one of those fake gamer guys that don't really play the games they talk about.
Must be an optional thing, then. I played through the main quest back when I beat it.Quote:

I remember everything leading up to the slap fight except the actual slap fight. Scarlet must have slapped me pretty hard.
Tifa's reign of terror as party leader is all too brief as we encounter our old pal Cloud (and a white chocobo) in the town of Mideel and he's not looking great. Cloud, that is, not the white chocobo. That little fella is running wild. Cid takes the reigns and we have an adventure in Corel to stop a train crashing into it. Do we succeed?
I've only ever played FF7 on the PS1, and the slapping contest is definitely in it. I believe you're not required to win it, though, and the game continues even if you lose.
So I just got caught up. This episode left some important questions:
1) Where the hell did all of your gil go? I didn't realize hookers and blow in Junon were that expensive.
2) How the hell did you stop the train when you barely touched the controls?
1) Episode 44
2) smurf knows but I'm not going to complain.
I'm actually irl mad you saved the town.
We are never laughing and cruel and mocking at your incompetence!
If I had a nickel for every time I've been in a similar situation.Quote:

Fort Condor is in trouble. The huge materia there needs defending but Shinra troops are marching to reclaim the reactor. The proud citizens of Fort Condor call upon the random pilot to help save their condor or phoenix or materia or whatever.
I remember this part of the game. But I did none of the RTS stuff. Is that even possible?
I guess you could just run out there yourself and do combat.Quote:

I really can't see the Fort Condor mini-game making it into the remake.
Can you just fight them yourself? That is probably exactly what I did then. xD Ain't nobody got time for that slow-ass tower defence.Quote:

The first disc of FF7 is great, and I would consider it among the top JRPG experiences. Despite that, the second disc goes all to hell in a number of ways, not the least of which is the writing team giving up on providing any coherent explanation for plot movement. "Oh no, the Shinra are going to try to use these Huge Materia to stop Meteor, which is the only plan anyone has so far to try to do so! We need to forget about Sephiroth and Meteor for now, focus on stopping Shinra, and collect these Huge Materia so we can look at how pretty they are in Cosmo Canyon!"
Ok.
Another trip to Mideel sees it being attacked by Weapon... uh oh. Luckily Cid and the gang can stop it! Hurray. But then there's a Lifestream induced earthquake... uh oh. Cloud and Tifa then have a wacky hallucinatory adventure inside his psyche. 'cause, y'know, that's what friends are for.
Our heroes, everyone.Quote:

I sort of intended this to be a guide on how to breed a gold chocobo but incompetence and stupidity win the day. Who doesn't want to see me attempting to race and breed chocobos and collect the Knights of the Round materia? Probably everyone...
Bubba and Shauna have sex and also this is where all the money went.
I didn't think she would agree to this again after I was such a disappointment last time :(Quote:

AHAHAH CLOUD HAS MOUNTED ME IT'S A JOKE heueueueueue
you released me :(
Fun video. I've actually never bred chocobos in this game, so I like the guide, actually. Also, do you know you have 8 minutes of dead air after the video finishes? :lol:
Well, now I know that. Time for a replacement :shobon:
Under the Sea! Under the Sea! Lots of adventures with Cloud Strife, Barret and Yuffieeeeeeee! Yes I will be singing Under the Sea with awful lyrics in a terrible way and no I don't care if you abhor and condemn it for the vile warbling that it is. Our Huge Materia hunt takes us to the Junon Underwater Reactor which has a sweet aquarium tunnel. Unfortunately Reno and Carry Armor are waiting and so we have to hijack a sub to take down the red leader submarine. As you do.
Hey, it's Mr. Dolphin! Hullo there!
last off! After an encounter with Rude at Rocket Town, Cid Highwind finally achieves his dream of going into outer space thanks to Palmer somehow coming back from the dead. Can we get to the Huge Materia before it gets smashed to smithereens?
You know, I forgot to say, Paul: the episode where you did chocobos was my favorite. The voice over when you had no idea what was going on was hilarious. I'd like to see you do it again.
Are you planning on fighting all the WEAPONs?
Comedy > Materia growth
Actually, the Mop stuff reminds me of Joachim in Shadow Hearts who is a gay vampire and his weapons are just found objects (you can also buy, but you can find all of his weapons for free). Like a mailbox, or a metal pipe. I like the pipe, because he says, "I can feel the gratitude of the cats who found shelter in this pipe during a storm!" and kooky trout like that. God, I want to play that game again. :(
Also, Cloud, if you're motion-sick, it's best to stay in the middle of the room.
Thank you, maybe I will xD
Yes, I will do the WEAPONs! Hell, maybe I'll combine that and narrating after the fact. I could get a special guest (ONE OF YOU PEOPLE IN INTERNETLAND) to joint narrate the video with me. I kind of think me spamming Knights of the Round and Mime will be boring otherwise!
mop 4 lyfe
Can I do it with you :3
Or maybe of whoever is interested, a guest for each WEAPON?
I CALL EMERALD
I have a working mic and some free time, and can pimp you out to my followers. I also have the added comedy bonus of sounding like Sylvester Stallone.
Either Ruby or Ultima for me.
I was only gonna do Ruby and Emerald so that works.
I mean, I'm gonna fight Ultima too obvs but that one isn't as mind numbingly long or boring xD
We travel to the underwater location of the Gelnika, the sunken crashed plane we saw take off in the last episode. Of course Reno and Rude are aboard and are up for fisticuffs, as are the various Unknown monsters infesting the sunken Gelnika plane (which I keep calling a submarine because I'm dumb, please don't hate me) We also hook up with old man Bugenhagen again.
AHAHA you almost closed the game. That would've been amazing
Bad Breath AND Abnormal Breath. Very creative, SE.
The monsters in this location are really messed up.
One damage, what?
I remember some of this place. But it is all so hazy. I didn't even play this damn game that long ago. xD All these reactor-ShinRa-type places all look the exact same.
No it wouldn't!Quote:

Anyway, them wacky Shinra have another one of their wacky plans to stop Sephiroth and shenanigans ensue when Diamond Weapon shows up to interrupt. Feeling left out, the gang rock up and give Diamond Weapon a jolly good thrashing. Shame about Rufus...
A parachute jump into Midgar? I mean, sure none of us have had formal training but what the hell. What could possibly go wrong! Endless toils through subway tunnels leads us to the Turks and a final showdown. I handle the battle like a pro, don't worry about it.
Mideel is a faster leveling spot than the gelnika. The enemies give roughly the same amount of exp but die much faster.
Oh, huh, really? I use Mideel for pre-Temple of the Ancients grinding. Still, Gelnika does have the benefit of getting sources from morphing.
Depends on the source, but yes, there are a few that are hard to get elsewhere, such as speed or luck sources. Guard sources can be morphed from the much easier Spinel or whatever silver grey things around the brown soil near mideel, power sources can be morphed from the heavy tanks near the gongaga reactor (and is the only enemy to spawn there). I usually don't even bother with magic and spirit sources, as they are so slow to get from morphing those big HP enemies.
3-4 of those huge insect like things in mideel will be faster if you have slash all, as it should be possible to kill them all in one swift attack there. It's also safer and doesn't require you to heal hp/mp as often, which also takes a bit of time.
I was also going to ask where Greece is in this game. xD But there's a Texas and a Korea, so who knows?!
I love it under the ocean in this game. I also love the music.
But they were nomads!
So I don't know if it's ever explained: Does Aeris know what her materia actually does, or is she just really stupid?
Sick burn, Yuffie.
I have the hots for Rufus, so I'm glad he came back
Reeve has no face!
Oh, you saw that too.
Actually, I think the cat is normal sized, Barret. It's the deranged looking Moogle that's huge.
Yeah, with the Highwind's speed, the last jumpers will be miles and miles behind the first. xD
This is actually an excellent FMV.
No, those are coffee cups with cannons.
Missing Score sounds like some sort of music thing...but if it only appears he's there...who knows? I would think of it more as a name for a Tifa weapon, given her piano in her house.
A cannon probably smells like gunpowder or something similar.
Venus Gospel is another musical name... that again sounds nothing like its owner's personality.
Maybe they decided to go with a musical theme for the super weaps? I don't know the rest of the names so this is most definitely likely to not be the case.
The names are really pretentious actually xD Limited Moon, Death Penalty, Premium Heart, Conformer etc.
What does Limited Moon even mean.
Missing Score is what Liverpool FC had the last time they came to Old Trafford :chocobo:
It's the new Twilight film where all the werewolves start claiming incapacity benefit.Quote:

Then Hojo fancies a pop and does some fancy pants science mutations in true Resident Evil fashion. Mad scientists, eh? What are they like?
