36 achievements. That's quite a lot for a game which most people find ridiculously easy, I think. So I started wondering, what would constitute a notable achievement in Final Fantasy VII? Then I realised that you, fine people of TLS, would have plenty of good suggestions. And by good, I mean "good"

I'll start:

1. Proud of your inches - Figure out how to get past the plank in Sector 6 without throwing your controller at the screen

 

[Shademp]

2. Achieve the FREAK rank in Course A in Snowboarding.

This achievement is nothing for sissies. Don't believe me? Try it yourself.

Edit: I know you meant non-serious achievements Flintlock, but I simply could not pass this up.

3. "This guy are sick" - find the hidden Engrish.

 

[ForceStealer]

I freaking LOVE the snowboarding game and I may have gotten a ranking better than "Good" once...

I've always figured if they gave FF7 trophies I'd have a fairly easy time getting them...but I didn't think about Gold Saucer. If there's a trophy related to that basketball game or beating that impossible rock-paper-scissors fighter I'm doomed

Not very good at the motorcycle chase either.

 

[Cthulhu]

4. "Where the Sun Don't Shine"; have some fun at Honeybee Inn.

Oh, good idea. We should definitely try to think of names for the achievements as well

 

[Lex]

5. "The talking dead" - Trigger Aerith's dialogue in the Great Glacier. (would require hack obv)

 

[Cthulhu]

6. "She's Dead Jim" - cry like a little bitch when Aerith dies and you totally knew it was going to happen.

 

[Ite]

"You can never go back." - Get the Barret date

"It's Your Plucky Day" - get the Chocobo baby with the gender you want after less than ten reboots.

"Premium *****!" - get the 'canon' dialogue with Tifa under the Highwind.

"Good Samaritan" - revisit the Chocobo Sage until he remembers everything.

"Balls of Steal" - have more materia in your inventory than Yuffie can take.

 

[Flintlock]

"Balls of Steal" - have more materia in your inventory than Yuffie can take.

Bloody hell, that's clever.

 

[Ite]

"Friendly Fire" - trigger all the optional character death scenes (Zack, Bugenhagen etc.)

"Holy Hell" - see Aeris' ghost in the church.

"How Rude" - obtain three Zeidrichs.

 

[Octo]

Ite you're a fucking genius you know that? (sorry I said Kris this is what happens when I have multiple tabs!)

Ohh I got one!

"We may be retreating.... but we're still victorious" - Run away from all optional battles!

 

[AvecAloes]

1. Proud of your inches - Figure out how to get past the plank in Sector 6 without throwing your controller at the screen

That. Damn. PLANK!

"Balls of Steal" - have more materia in your inventory than Yuffie can take.

BAhahaha

"We may be retreating.... but we're still victorious" - Run away from all optional battles!

And it won't even matter that you're not leveling up since you'll be able to use the Character Booster

 

[ForceStealer]

What plank now?

 

[AvecAloes]

That little maze like section in Sector 6, with the mechanical looking hand and the plank that doesn't actually look like you can interact with it at all and yet is part of the pathway and aaaaaaaa I remember being so confused trying to figure out how the hell I was supposed to get through the path.

 

[Joe]

The train graveyard always confused me as a child.

Achievement Unlocked - Problem Solved! : Succeed in reviving Aeris with a phoenix down.

 

[AvecAloes]

The train graveyard always confused me as a child.

+1

 

[ForceStealer]

Now I did get lost in the Train Graveyard as a kid, yes. It took me awhile to realize you could walk down the left of that beam draped across the two trains near the beginning.

 

[Lex]

"Pervy Crew" - Get the high affection scene with Tifa.

 

[ForceStealer]

Alternatively - "Climhazzard" - Get the high affection scene with Tifa.

 

[Obsidian Fire]

"Balls of Steal" - have more materia in your inventory than Yuffie can take.

Only this isn't *that* hard to get... I "got it" without even trying...

 

[Lex]

Not all achievements are hard to get though. This is something that's quite uncommon. If you do the Wutai sidequest at the earliest point and have most of your materia equipped on characters, it's unlikely you'd trigger this, since the materia cuts off at a certain number in the list of unequipped materia after it takes it from your characters.

 

[Flintlock]

This applies to the Playstation version more than the PC version, but still:

Circle of Life - successfully avoid trying to use X as the confirm button after you've been playing another Final Fantasy game.

 

[Octo]

Wire of Hope - time the jump to the swinging cable perfectly 1st time.

Dolphin Friendly - make the jump to the Junon tower 1st time.

Handbags at Dawn - Slap Scarlet down without taking any hits yourself (is this possible?)

You are NOT the father! - Have Vincent in your party for the last confrontation with Hojo.

 

[Shademp]

Handbags at Dawn - Slap Scarlet down without taking any hits yourself (is this possible?)

After numerous attempts on an emulator, with varying frequencies of button pressing, my conclusion is that you are forced to take a few hits no matter what.
