Final Fantasy VII G Bike Announced For Smartphones - S-E + CC2!

[Cloud_S]

Well I did what I said I wouldn't... Spent $16.55/2000JPY for 2000 gems (plus a 600 gem bonus)...

Tried 8 times, and considered spending more... buuuuut nah (I'll probably go back on this lol).

Spoiler

I managed to get a level 15 SOLDIER-S bike, and maxed it out to level 20 with the items won through the roulette.

It's better than what I was using, that's for sure. Now I really need to upgrade my weapons (which is also a pain....).

 

[Cloud_S]

Maybe I should unlink my Google Wallet..... Spent $28.97 for 3500 gems (plus 1200 bonus), and tried my luck at the roulette again.

After a couple of tries, I finally got the maxed out level 25 SOLDIER-S bike!

I also won another level 20 SOLDIER-S bike and decided to combine it with the level 15 one I had leveled up.... wasn't sure what would happen.

Just made it able to go up to level 25.... I'm not sure if combining two level 25's would increase the max level or be a waste of time and money/items/etc.

I'm arranging your intervention as we speak.

I'm arranging your intervention as we speak.

It's unfortunate that you have to spend money to get such items (and without any gems the game is very repetitive to try and level up equipment). I wish I had been able to get the Nailbat during it's event, that can go up to level 77... but I'm missing the event items to create it (and even if I could create it, those same items would be needed to level it up).

Is it just me or did they remove the link to the official English G-Bike site? When the official site was new you could switch between Japanese and English, but I can't find neither a link nor find a proper url to the English counterpart.

 

[ultima espio]

Maybe they took it down to update it? There was barely anything on it, it was just a blank page with a Youtube video.

2 Weeks on Tuesday until E3. Hopefully they will announce the release date.

 

[Cloud_S]

More Premium stuff.... weapons this time.

Good thing I got paid nicely....

Apocalypse and Organix...niiice

 

[Strangelove]

i had a lot of gems so i did the last roulette but now i have two swords that i can't upgrade because all the items you need to upgrade them were only from the roulette

unless you get the material replacement tickets, which you don't get a lot of

or the free upgrade tickets which i've never even seen

this game needs a better balance

 

[Cloud_S]

Well I spent $165 (3x 3,000+1,200 bonus/2x 5,000+2,200 bonus) for a total of 28,500 gems.

I tried 100 times. There were sooooo many times that it nearly landed on a level 30 maxed Apocalypse... so..many, but never did. In the end I used all the lower leveled ones to gain enough items to level up 2 15's to level 20, and then combined them to gain the ability to reach level 30. Currently at level 27, but I'm running low on whatever the pink material is... so I'll have to go spin the roulette at least one more time (and hope it lands on the 20x pink material).

I documented all the attempts, so if it's wanted, I'll upload the screenshots to a gallery.

This needs to be my sig image though:

Also with a better weapon, I've advanced to Chapter 12, and I encountered some new boss music, which I'll mix together this week.


I've also been attempting to record game-play because if you time a jump just right before the game makes you jump a gap, Cloud will cartwheel until he hits the ground. Of course preforming it whilst recording hasn't happened.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Wow

 

[Cloud_S]

Captured the cartwheel jump (advance to 28 seconds in if you're in a hurry)

And since sleep isn't happening, here's the 2nd new piece of music for bosses:

 

[Cloud_S]

I did it! Managed to finish leveling up Apocalypse! Took a few roulette spins to get lower level ones to break down into materials, but it's done.

 

[Strangelove]

> 4000 attack power

fuck

i am hoping with the addition of premium roulette items that they aren't going to start making stuff that is impossible without those.

 

[Lex]

This game just isn't coming to the west at all, is it?

 

[ultima espio]

If it's not announced at E3, then we can forget it. It'll have some gameplay to show likely, I'm sure they'll use the opportunity to show off another assist.

 

[Cloud_S]

> 4000 attack power

fuck

Yeah, it's made slicing 'n dicing through enemies nearly a 1 hit task (chapter 13 enemies take about 2 hits until the "attack up" and then just 1). I agree, I don't want to spend more $$$ for good bikes/weapons.... which I think they'll most likely continue in future.

 

[Cloud_S]

Advanced to Chapter 14, and upon completing the first mission, gained a new materia; Drain.

While unlikely, I hope they redo events for support characters.... I'd love to have more than just Tifa.

 

[ultima espio]

Rumor has it Barret and or Dyne will appear this week. I'll keep my eyes out for that

If anyone wants to check it's supposedly mentioned in game, and in the news section on the official site.

 

[Cloud_S]

Indeed that it is. http://sqex-bridge.jp/guest/information/11408

Good, I look forward to obtaining my first non-default support character...... that is if there isn't some issue with a possible v 1.4.1 (afterall I was unable to obtain either Cid or Yuffie due to some issue the game had after the v 1.2.0 update).

I've advanced to Chapter 16 tonight. So far no new music, but as of 15-3 it's nice to see new enemies:

Also if you need to level-up materia, mission 7-4 is good for that as it has an added bonus of possible treasure which can be 70,000-98,000 zeni, and apparently it's even possible to get x2 70,000 totaling 140,000 (in addition to the 16,000 awarded by the mission), the most I've ever seen the game payout.

After playing the game nearly every day for a number of hours, I've become quite good at winning the item I want from the roulette (that is to say the normal one, the premium one still seems to be something of a crapshoot).


Speaking of materia, I've managed to combine enough Blizzards into Blizzard 4:

I'm not entirely sure how much higher it may go, but I'm in progress of leveling up (by 3, and certainly 4, it becomes a very tedious process to continually go through missions to hopefully add just one level-up) two Blizzard 3's and once combined (and maxed out) I'll have the option to combine 4's into I presume 5.

Creating higher level materia is costly:
I -> II (10,000)
II -> III (50,000)
III -> IV (150,000)


Oh and here's a fun tip for bosses: right after the cutscene between the fade-in, keep tapping where the materia (long-ranged like Lightning or Fire) is to get in a very early attack!


*edit* Now up to Chapter 17!

 

[ultima espio]

To clarify, it's a boss battle with Dyne

EDIT: Someone who can read Japanese should check over this link, I think I got a bad translation and misinterpreted it:

http://sqex-bridge.jp/guest/information/11408

From their official twitter:

Upcoming mission events "Dynes" appeared in FFVII [FFVII G bike] < upcoming events > upcoming fighting. And win a character that is friends. Please stay tuned! http://sqex-bridge.jp/guest/information/11408 &#8230; #FFVII_G

Totally Barret

 

[Cat Rage Room]

Can anyone post the artwork to this game, or where to find it?

 

[Cloud_S]

I thought there was something wrong, that the game didn't load the list of enemies....

Nope, nothing wrong, there are no enemies in this mission, just one hell of a lot of rocks to jump over.

 

[Cloud_S]

So uh, looks like Chapter 18 is currently the final chapter.

Congratulations! The Chapter 18 it was clear.

Normally there'd be two options in Japanese under the message (I had no idea what either said, but clicked the left one), but this time just "OK".

More to the point, there's no Chapter 19....

 

[Cloud_S]

I've been running the screenshots through Google Translate (sending the caps to my desktop, and using the app on my phone via the camera) to translate missions (only occurred to me I could do this a day ago... could go through them all I suppose?). This is 18-5:

And shaking off the Wutai soldiers, Cloud muttered. "It does not seem to be that this remains end -" Sure enough, formidable enemy was coming up. Wutai soldiers 8-- of the land, it's the end of the enemy! [version1.4.0 Last Mission]
