Some difficult stuff coming up in this chapter. Kill me now. D:
First digging attempt brought out a Potion.
Second? Nothing.
Third? ...Nothing.
Fourth? Something called Buntline. Oh, it's one of Vincent's guns. Ok...
Got the Lunar Harp the fifth time. Better late than never, eh?
The Forgotten Capital and its creepy music. If there's a theme for this game I remember the most, this one stands out amongst the ones that do.
Actually feeling nervous, realising that I know what's about to come. This is practically one of the most memorable cutscenes in the video games industry after all.
Ok wow, that scene when you're just powerless to control Cloud. It's so scary.
I really want to see this in the remake. I want to see Cloud struggling to keep it together during the Jenova battle. I want to see the same with the party members that are with him at the time.
So the Jenova battle was a lot easier than I remember. Maybe I'm overpowered?
I had Barret and Tifa with me at the time. It's amazing how Barret looks like he's struggling to keep it together. I also never noticed how Tifa ran out of there in tears. Although they may seem like love rivals, it turns out that she thought highly of her. :/
And so endeth Disc 1...
Also like how the image for inserting Disc 2 is Aerith looking at the airship. Shame she'll never get to fly on it.
Watching the videos between Ifalna and Professor Gast is fascinating stuff. It's like... that hole in your party's heart? The one where Aerith is gone? It's cutting deeper, knowing Aerith will never get to watch these videos. And of course, it hurts us even more.
I also think this is the first hint that we truly see Jenova possibly becoming the central antagonist as opposed to Sephiroth, especially when we hear that the Planet can't heal itself as long as Jenova exists.
It amazes me that Shinra never got hold of these tapes. You'd have thought they'd scope the place out better, unless Gast hid them well. I can't wait to see his and Ifalna's moments in the remake. I didn't think much of them before this playthrough, but I'd like to see it expanded upon possibly. I feel like we only got 5 minutes and their relationship is a huge trigger for Aerith's life (obviously) and the consequences that come with this small family unit.
Oh wait, so Hojo did discover the videos. But I wonder if he showed them to Shinra? There must be copies still at the building. It provokes a lot of questions, this game...
Ohai, Elena. Let's go!
Oh shit, I didn't avoid her punch...
Woo, snowboarding mini game! I like this one.
..ok, I suck at this. I keep hitting the walls. D:
I really do wonder what this is going to be like in the remake. I hope it looks awesome.
I really hate the Great Glacier. I get lost all the time. :/
So I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone, but one of the enemies just poisoned its ally. WTAF. And then attacked it!
Another enemy attacked it. I know I wanted to get through these battles quickly, but I have no idea what's going on...
IT'S CARRYING ON. THEY'RE ATTACKING EACH OTHER. ONE JUST KILLED ITSELF.
It's these damn caves, I swear...
Heere we go. Boss battle with Vincent and Red! I somehow don't remember this part well.
Ah, so this is Schizo (very appropriate word). No wonder I don't remember him. He seems forgettable.
Ha, just had a fire attack used on Red and it was absorbed because he's wearing the appropriate amulet! Wow, forgot about that one. xD
Wow, take a look at the fancy shot of the Northern Crater. I can't wait to see THAT in the remake.
Also, would you believe me if I said I've only just used Cid in the party for the first time? He's been up to speed in levels, so thought that it's finally time to use him.
But now Tifa's in the party and it looks like he's out for Red, who's the weakest at level 40. Everyone else is at 41/42 with Cloud being at a mighty 47.
So yeah, that's this chapter over and done with. Time to continue with the next one.
