Yep. As a 11/12-year-old kid, Demon's Gate used to absolutely cream me. I was hideously under leveled and didn't know what the smurf. I had to restart from the beginning something like four times to be prepared for this dude. Yeah. Yeah, I know xD As I said, kid.
As an adult I am always ready for him, but I always over prepare just in case. Those ass whoopings will never be forgotten!
I actually kind of miss those early days, where you'd hear all sorts of rumors and you'd try and figure it out with friends and go on to sites like supercheats to separate between the rumors and the real. It almost added a sense of mystery and wonder to the game...sometimes not knowing is part of the fun. :P
derp
Nothing was ever hard. But the ones I will rank the most difficult experiences I've had:
Rapps when you're low level, disc 1
Materia Keeper because I just got Vincent from his coffin, and used his Galian Beast which does Fire-elemental damage....Materia Keeper absorbs Fire and you can't control Vincent at this point. So I had to kill him off with my other players and in the process got rocked hard by Trine and the Hell Dance.
Carry Armor got the best of me once. Never again did I let his antics trick me again. And now I find it repulsive to have a game over in FF7 unless you lose in that chocobo race in the Corel prison while NOT using that R1+L1 BS.
No time for "Dilly-Dallying" or "Shilly-Shallying."
Props go to the one and only, Proxy, for the signature.
Thinking way back to my first playthrough, a few bosses stick out in my mind:
Demon Wall for sure, that weird claw robot in the submarine dock, and Safer Sephiroth.
Oh, and also that part at the beginning where you have to time the button press with Tifa and Barret frustrated me, though now I'm not so sure why...
Jenova life is pretty difficult for me, I find it hard to see the screen through the tears.
Staring at my sig will not induce epileptic fits.
A themagicroundabout sig, by themagicroundabout.
Sitting through the Kalm Flashback while contemplating watching paint dry for entertainment.
Letting go, not taking part.
That was the hardest part.
Not counting the secret weapons which I never tried to beat, I didnt like the fight with the boss that taught the blue magic Trine because I'd have to sit there trying to survive until he used it and then I might die shortly after as I hadnt leveled up enough. And then even afterwards I barely ever cast trine.
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
The waiting, or so I heard, is the hardest part.
