train them all or not?

[Bubba]

I'll keep it in mind for when I replay VII in April.

I admire how organised you are!

[Psychotic]

I don't even bother to train the characters inside the party, much less out of it.

[Pumpkin]

I did, but I don't think its necessary.

[Kalevala]

If you're just playing the main game, you can pick whoever you enjoy the dialogue of and complete it no problem.

This, sort of. I usually just go with whoever is most relevant to what it is I'm doing/where it is I'm going. I'm too much of a story junkie.

[Mo-Nercy]

Everyone but Cait Sith is usually how I roll. I'm just too much of a stats man to leave anyone else too far behind.

[Sephiroth]

Probably. I know if you don't pick the right dialog options for when you meet Yuffie she steals your stuff. It's a good idea to save before you run into her.
.

no not in that way when you aleady have yuffie and head for Wutai she will steal everyones materia, and then you have to chase her around wutai to get it back

She does not steal all of them. Normally you just don't have enough so she steals everything you have at that time.

p.s i dont notice anything about other characters developing a little even though they are not in the party... by now Yuffie is 10 levels behind :l

at the moment i entered the temple of the ancients and im concentrating on leveling Cloud, Aeris and Red XIII. im still almost 10 levels behind from when i was here the previous time. so i want to be lvl 50 when i start the fight with Demon's gate again..

pray for me :l

[Shaibana]

im finaly at my biggest enemy :O
Demon's gate
*dramatic music*


im now lvl 35 instead of the lvl 40 i was previous time :l

[Jiro]

just keep level grinding until you can knock down that wall

[Shaibana]

Holy moly!! i made it passed

demons gate
*dramatic music*

it actually wasnt that hard as i thought :3
first i grinded to lvl 40. it doesnt take that long since a limit break easely takes down 1000-1500 HP, and getting a limit break isnt that hard at this boss


got him at the 1st try

[Jiro]

Congratulations! I knew you could do it

[Shaibana]

Now im a little stuck at the 2 headed Schizo.
he does powerfull fire and ice attacks, and sometimes both at the time.
Quake leaves me with little HP on all my characters.
i find myself more bussy with reviving and healing the characters then doing some damage on him.
(SPOILER) ooh god, what do i miss Aeriss quick healing now

any tip, tricks and hints?

[Jiro]

You could try putting elemental + fire/ice on someone's armour and then killing off the other head. If it is a strong level elemental materia, then they will be immune to that element or even healed by it! Schizo is a tough boss though

Yeah, pretty much this. I have one character on elemental-Ice and also equipped with the Fire Ring which you get from Costa Del Sol basement. That leaves them pretty much invulnerable to his attacks (other than quake).

I always level up my elemental materia as soon as possible. They definitely come in handy!

[Shaibana]

here is an update on mt FF7 adventures.
just to be sure, i put it in a spoiler tab.

(SPOILER) after getting some good equipment i made it through Schizo!
and the boss after that was a walk in the park (Jenovaeath it was called, i believe)
this jenova pretty much did only fire based attacks, and here is what happened:
Tifa absorbed the fire attacks, and it healed her.
Red was unaffect by the fire, 0 damage.
Cloud only got half the damage (300 out of 3200HP)



after that they cut me out of my comfort zone becaus i had to leave cloud behind :l
i replaced him with Yuffie.
and just a view minutes after that i had to leave Tifa behind! who has (after losing Aerith) permanent in my party.

they promoted Cid to party leader and i got Red and Yuffie to join him. but after a vieuw minutes the low health of Yuffie (around 1800, while the rest has a good 2000+) started to anoy me and i replaced her with Vincent.

So not only do i have to play with underdeveloped characters (limit breaks) im also cut back about 5 levels
this is the moment i regret not training them :P

i am now facing Weapon in Mideel. he looks like a pokemon
