ff7 cured me :P

Hello wonderful people of this forum,

My name is Jimmy or geektreat on the interwebs .
I recently stumbled upon these lovely forums a few days ago. Iv been ill this past week and to occupy myself while not being at work I decided to start a video game, this of course was final fantasy 7. Now I love this game and i adore everything about it from the humour to the still pretty epic fmv scenes but ever since i first got the game around 10 years ago i believe, i have never got past or anywhere near the end of the first disc id always either get stuck or get busy with other games or school etc well that was the case until now. Unfortunately iv had to use a guide in a few places but im very proud to say im around halfway through disc2 and loving it.

The above expearience has really re-light my love and passion for the series so yeah consider this a hello and a tiny back story of how i got here.

PS. sorry about the terrible grammar and punctuation.

Why constrict to just FFVII? ^____________________^ it's the best of all worlds here. What other things you in to?

[geektreat]

hhhm let me see i collect video games for many consoles.
I love music mainly Punk, ska and harcore etc
I have a yoututbe account with videos...that are not great haha but its still a lot of fun.
I love FFVII but am allready looking forward to the end in a way then i can wade through the rest of the series

not sure what else to say... any questions?

That's all pretty awesome Hey, you've heard of Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core haven't you? xD I don't want to burst your happy bubble but that came before FFVII

Hope you have fun here (: Glad you don't seem the typical noob, too. Congratulations!

Crisis Core came after FFVII. It was a prequel. It was released long after the original game, but the events take place before the events of the original game. Don't confuse the poor gentleman.

I wouldn't recommend Crisis Core, to be honest. There is a good deal of the plot that Square retcons for no reason. The majority of the characters are poorly done (although the ones that are well-done are great), and the gameplay is a drastic change from the standard Final Fantasy gameplay. It's not necessarily a bad game, but I do not feel as though it did justice to the series (or FFVII).

Welcome to the forum.

Aha my apologies! I thought by series he meant the FFVII ones, not FF on a whole. Sorry for the confusion!

On a side note, I quite liked CC o.e....it did veer toward a different path of gameplay admittedly but then again so did DoC. . .yet again that isn't worth mentioning.

Sorry again!!

Since you're on Disc 2 now, I have to ask you a question about Disc 1.

(SPOILER)Did you know about the death at the end of Disc 1 before it happened? Was it spoiled to you somehow? If so, was it spoiled a long time ago or recently?

Hey there, welcome to the forums!

I've recently started replaying FF7 too! I've never gotten past disc 1 before (I have now though) so I've got the whole game to see. ;D I hope you're enjoying it as much as I am.
