FFVII Confessions & Mishaps

[Shademp]

Technically off-topic because it's not from the original game but I still feel silly for not having learned many years earlier that there exists a vocalized version of Rufus's Welcoming Ceremony theme.

 

[Torrie]

I didn't know this either!! Wow, so many revelations, even after all these years

UPDATE

I started listening but had to stop and laugh out loud because of a misheard line.

Spoiler: Don't look here if you don't want the track to be hopelessly spoiled for you

0:12 Ahhhh there exists such a whooooore

Yesss, I've had the right rhythm all these years! Every time I get to that part in the original game I always sing along like it's some kind of sea shanty

Here's the English lyrics and timing from the original game if you too would like to join the fun:

Rufus---
Rufus Shinra----

We---are---Shinra Company----
The new-----President------

Oh----- Oh-----
Shinra---------

Oh----- Oh oh----
Shinra, Inc.---

Realization----of the new era---
New---President----Ru--fus---

Oh----- Oh-----
Shinra---------

Oh----- Oh oh----
Shinra, Inc.---

Building------the new era-----
Shinra-----forev---er-------

 

[Rydeen]

Anyone remember hcbailey?

 

[Shademp]

I never listened to HCBailly but I can see why you brought him up. Those lyrics very much reflect my feelings about Rufus Shinra after fighting him in Remake.

 

[Eerie]

Well, without meaning it, I once again got out of my game while misclicking (I didn't mean to) except this time, I've another bug. I had finished the Temple of the Ancients, and reloading my game brought me back just in time to beat that boss that gives the Bahamut materia. Now I'm in Gongaga and thought "hey, let's check and equip materia":

As you can see, I have TWO Bahamut materias. I have no clue what happened. But here they are.

 

[Eerie]

Holy fcking shit this game is driving me crazy. I AM STUCK AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT FREAKING LADDER IN BONE VILLAGE after loading my game today. Holy fuck I'm MAD. My last save before that is "oh please redo the entirety of that fucking Temple of the Ancients" NO THANK YOU CAN I FCKING ADVANCE ON THAT STORYLINE?

So anyone has a trick to UNSTUCK ME? Seriously wtf I'm so mad this game is so full of glitches.

 

[Shademp]

This is why I'm happy to not be playing the modern re-releases of FFVII. Way too many glitches.

Are you playing a version where you can extract the savefiles and apply the save editor Black Chocobo on it? If you use that to change the location in your savefile, you might be able to unstuck yourself.

 

[Eerie]

I have zero clues about that, I play the Steam version for all I know

 

[Shademp]

- Where to find your save files if you are playing the Steam version

- Black Chocobo save editor for download

 

[Tetsujin]

This is why I'm happy to not be playing the modern re-releases of FFVII. Way too many glitches.

I still want them to do a proper remaster of FFVII because of that. Go back to the original source rather than the faulty 98 PC port. Use some AI-upscaling+manual touch ups for the backgrounds, maybe redo the music...would be neat. Maybe some day.

 

[Eerie]

Now I remember I did install the Black Chocobo thingie to verify my romance points (due to yet another glitch I guess). I just have zero clue where it is installed l o l. *goes on search*

Edit: @Shademp freaking THANK YOU I'm unstuck!

 

[Odysseus]

Just realized that one Corneo goon in the remake is based on this NPC model from the original:

[Squiike]

I read somewhere that if you fought long enough you could enter the hallway that is endlessly guarded by Shinra guards. The one at the second bombing mission after they jump off the train.
I stacked up on potions and fought for hours. When i finally gave up i had all the limit breaks.

I pronounced Chocobo as cho-cho-bo

FF7 was my first RPG experience. After that i went to FF6, Chrono trigger. From those experiences i was led to belive ALL JRPG's would be awesome. So i bought all i could get my hands on. Wild arms, Lunar, Lunar silver star story, Star Ocean. And later FF8 (Wich dissapointed me) and FF9 (final nail in coffin). After FF9 i sweared i would never play another FF again, but a friend bought me FFX for a birthday gift. I played through most of it. Spoony's reviews sums up exactly how i felt about those.

I had an FF7 ringtone on my Nokia, that i typed in thanks to internet guides.

And later FF8 (Wich dissapointed me)

 

[LNK]

And later FF8 (Wich dissapointed me) and FF9 (final nail in coffin).

Lol jk. 9 is my favorite game of all time though

 

[ForceStealer]

lol, yes I laughed at that little roller coaster. You'll find ready support in the "disappointed by VIII" club. IX...you're gonna have a harder time.

FF9 fans in this thread be like: “We may be weak, but that's what makes us work together and help one another!”

Me, an intellectual: “Why you care about small things? World very simple place. World only have two things: Things you can eat and things you no can eat.”

 

[Makoeyes987]

I literally cannot wrap my head around how someone can hate FFIX. After playing it. Like it's unfathomable, lol

VIII is a little more understandable, but still weird. But I can get it. I know the flaws.

IX though? I just. I don't get it.

 

[Rankles]

VIII is an absolute trainwreck, so I can understand that, but hating IX is akin to kicking a puppy…

 

[Rydeen]

I played like half of 9 before I lost that hard drive and didn’t have backups at the time. I’d liked the gameplay and loved the design elements but I didn’t feel that attached to the characters or the plot, at least by that juncture. I’m guessing this one gets a lot better as the game progresses?

 

[ForceStealer]

Personally I don't think the cast reaches the highs of VII's (with the notable exception of Vivi, and Freya while she's relevant), but the overall storytelling is extremely well done and very satisfying.

 

[Erotic Materia]

I liked IX, but I think the plot is one of its weaker points. It started out strong and just limply fizzled out as you got closer to the end.

Also this asshole:

 

[Redfang]

Okay, my confession would be playing FFVII from the time I brought it home the day it was released until 6am the next day. I may have remembered to eat dinner but I couldn’t swear to it.

Oh…I still have the t-shirt they gave away…unworn.

Mishap…getting a defective disc and nobody being able to tell me that the disc was the problem and not my PS. I finally had to resort to the tried and true method of a hard whack to get it to skip past the defect.

As for FFVIII…I’d have enjoyed playing through Laguna’s story better than the main one. I did have a lot of fun playing Triple Triad though.
