Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier

[Leafonthebreeze]

We tried doing complicated time zone maths but I think the simplest way is just drop a message here or in dms when you're on and someone usually hops on with you if they're free.

That said, I am also GMT and can usually get on from around 8pm on weekday evenings. Not today, but if I get time later in the week I'll let you know!

 

[Keveh Kins]

Holy shit I actually won!

...And now to return to the empty void of hopelessness as a victory here means nothing...*Hollow starts playing*

Letter from the Devs Vol. 4

Covers the last patch's affect on Fire and Blizzard materia, as well as some minor improvements they hope to make in the future. Some enemies will also receive "retro" skins for the upcoming event <3

Event is live. I really hope someone extracts these elongated polygonal models and mods them into Remake.

[Keveh Kins]

The OG monsters have the death animation and sound effect from the original!! <3

 

[cold_spirit]

Retro skins for the other party members will be added at a later date.



The home screen features monitors that loop between every major FFVII title. Even Dirge of Cerberus and Before Crisis were invited to the party!

FIRST SOLO WIN!

This was a sick match actually, including defeating someone who beat me in a previous match (someone in a Rufus skin called Bowl) just after they killed the scorpion bomber, so I got all the good items off their corpse

Spoiler: Obligatory failure to screenshot victory pose

I'm off work today because I feel like ass, so this was a nice way to cheer up, even if my head still hurts.

Personally, I put it down to a sighting of my lucky talisman in the lobby

Spoiler: Golden President Shinra. With a gun.

 

[Erotic Materia]

Golden President Shinra. With a gun.

My brain is so dumb

 

[Leafonthebreeze]

Holy shit, I refuse to give this game money and only draw on the LBM thing when the game gives me tickets, and its been ages since I've drawn anything but gun skins... but look what I just drew with event tickets!


Not just Barret, but Cloud too!


Can't decide who to stick with so I'll probably just alternate. Cloud is cooler but Barret is hilarious.
Yes, that is a sword in his gun hand.

All in all, a decent way to spend a sick day, even if probably not the best for my headache. Saw a couple people online but really wasn't feeling up to being functional on voice chat so sorry for not teaming up! Next time!

 

[Erotic Materia]

Barret's proportions are SO WEIRD. It reminds me of the leggy pikachu meme for some reason.

 

[Leafonthebreeze]

Haha cursed. He also still has my female character's voice, just to make it weirder. Hoping he's truly horrifying to be killed by.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Been playing other games and taking a break, but I definitely need to get back on this. This looks so damn fun!

There's a gif of Cloud doing that too.

Spoiler

The gold buster sword and Tifa's cowgirl outfit were also found in the files apparently.

 

[cold_spirit]

Trying to channel my strongest "I've only had Red XIII for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself" energy.

 

[Keveh Kins]

Snuck a quick game in on my break this morning, managed to win after a fairly chaotic three-way battle at the end

I love love love love LOVE blizzard materia.

I've only played as warrior class so far but I'm thinking of changing it up to sorcerer or whatever the magic class is

 

[ultima espio]

Consider spoiler tags for datamines, some people like the surprise.

 

[Leafonthebreeze]

Winning fairly consistently now! Found a weird glitch where if I win with Barret, Cloud shows on the second victory screen, happened twice now. These are from the same match.

 

[looneymoon]

that avalanche shirt looks like the my chemical romance logo when scrolling really fast

 

[cold_spirit]

@Makoeyes987 and I were able to have a few matches together. We were paired up with someone named Starcy who singlehandedly secured 15 kills. That's 20% of players in a match. Glad they were on our side...



People, find yourself someone who'll pick you up in a retro chocobo.

Hey guys! Thought I post a playlist of the Soundtrack I've ripped from the game. It includes the amazing 25th Anniversary Collab theme and music from the Opening Movie without SFX!
You can download all the tracks at the SoundCloud site (desktop version), just hover over the track and click on "..." to bring up the menu and click download.
Enjoy!

Also I made a video version of Opening Movie without SFX:

 

[Makoeyes987]

Thank you so much for this @Jack Holiday !!! These tracks are so good, it's great to have them!

That trailer without the sound effects is 100x better. Nice work!

 

[Makoeyes987]

Started this event late but finally got everything from this 25th anniversary event. It was fucking fun.

Spoiler: I actually got lucky with the gacha this time...

Apparently the Planet heard I loved Intermission so much, it decided to let me play as Yuffie here too.

Now if only I could get Sephiroth...

Spoiler: Also made it to SOLDIER 1-C

LMAO didn't think I'd get to it but apparently I did. I doubt I'll make it to Prime before season end, but that's fine. It keeps rising and rising, and I honestly don't have that much time to devout to keeping the rank, but it's cool I'll at least get the 1st Class award.

Overall, I can't say enough praise for this. It's just a fun game especially with folks to play as. Really can't wait to see what Season 2 does.
