Disappointing 3rd Disk? (Spoilers)

Im going through FFVII again for the first time in over 6 years. I lost my old save game. Really really wish I hadnt...4 mimes...simply ungodly when you got KOTR and Bahamut Zero both as masters. Shoot I dont know if you can even do that any more. I heard a rumor that they fixed it so that Mime, Bahamut Zero, Kotr and a few other Materia wouldnt create another after mastering them after the initial release of the game. I dont have my original disks anymore. I got the stupid Greatest Hits version now.

I really hate it when people are like "sigh why was the final boss so easy, this game sucks, blah blah, I mean I only spent countless hours leveling and getting the hardest summon to get, not to mention I had to race chocobos or kill one of the strongest optional bosses to get it, and then the boss dies in 1 hit?! come on!! "

You'd think the Shinra Cannon breaking the barrier at the crater was a huge tip that Sephiroth was nearing death. So was (SPOILER)the destruction of Terra in FFIX.

Well, even if people don't do optional stuff, the final boss (es) of modern RPGs aren't really difficult anyway. :cat:

I hate it when people get all worked up over a discussion and complain about someones opinion and call a persons opinion "complaining" just to make themselves feel better.

I ahte it when people cant understand a simple point.
This is what isnt right.

OMg the final boss was so easy. I mean I only spent countless hours doing sidequests getting summons that make the game virtually impossible to lose.
Well no [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]. What did you think. This was going to make the game harder.

he has a point

Which is why they add final bosses like Necron with that really really really cheap Grand Cross. The fact I survived against him is because my luck was really good.

Complaining? well, you're partially new here, so i'll give you the benefit of the doubt, these kinds of posts have been made countless numbers of times. How exactly was I complaining anyways? I was stating a fact, its not even an opinion, if you level up and get the best things in the game, why would the main-story final boss be hard? Thats the point of optional bosses, not story line bosses.

Well no . What did you think. This was going to make the game harder.

Not really sure what you were trying to say, or who you were agreeing with, even after reading it a few times, sounds like you were agreeing with what I said and that I was simply stating a point, not complaining. Bottom line is, I wasn't placing an opinion on anything, its common sense to realize if you level up to max level, get all ultimate weapons, mastered materia, rare materia - not to mention KotR - the storyline final boss is going to be a breeze. Whats the point of coming to the forum and saying "Well yeah I used Knights of the round and he was dead, what the hell?! This game is definately not my favorite Final Fantasy now because of this, ridiculous."(yes I know he quit because he thought the story slowed down on disc 3, not simply because of the boss itself, I'm merely stating a point)

Khaotic is correct.

And yes, I prefer the modern day method of the final disks being of a significant length, if not just as long or longer than the first disk.

Well, that's because he's a tribute to the actually genuinely tough final bosses of the past (CoD, Zeromus, X-Death) Who spam status attacks and celestial alpha moves. :P :cat:

What does that have to do with the topic? Thats just simply going offtopic to continue a pointless debate, you joined in '05, thats considered new, atleast to me. Please just drop this now, I won't be replying anymore if the reply has to do with our personal disagreement.

Yeah that just shows how ignorant and immature you are. Especially since your the one who made the comment in the first place.

Anyway...ive noticed that there are quite a few things that you cannot do in the game untill you are on the 3rd disk. Probably due to the amount of room they DIDNT have on the 2nd disk. Really it doesnt matter. The game is the way it is because thats they way they made it. Isnt there also a lot more video content on the final disk then there is on the first and second?

As I write this, I have just finished FFVII.. well, a few hours ago.. but yes.

I'm not sure if I really agree or not... that is, I expected another twist or something to be revealed before the final battle.. but nothing really happened. I don't think I was outright upset about it.. but now that you mention how much better it could've been (a quest for Holy, another twist, etc), I do feel slightly disappointed.

I was around level 70 when I fought SafterSephy.. and I thought he was a challenge, although I won on my first try - Thank you, Megaelixars and X-Potions! I didn't have KotR or Omnislash or any of this uber stuff you people keep mentioning. I assume you have to go out of your way to get that stuff, so obviously Square made the boss difficult based on the assumption that you didn't do all that extra shizzle. This is certainly true if you have to beat one of those uber hard optional bosses to gain either of those things. So if you're willing to spend the extra time, of course the boss will be easier.

I guess I liked the ending. I didn't have a huge amount of trouble understanding it... although I did skip off to Game FAQs and read the plot analysis when I was done. I was annoyed to learn that there were three secret scenes which fill in the game's bvackstory. Vincent's was the only one I got during the game (it's understandably secret - he's an optional character). The others probably should've been explained as part of the main story, though.. I missed them and they fill in some things I really didn't get.

On the whole it was very good, though. Since I played FFX and X-2 before it, I had forgotten how good having the ol world map was.. as well as other "old schooly" elements. Yeah.. been a while since I played FFVI, too :P
