Ways the game could be improved

[Shademp]

Not only does the translation need improvement, but THIS should be prevented from happening too --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toa4UP389Uk&feature=channel_page

Funny how when you receive Ethers in Fort Condor they are sometimes referred to as "Tinctures" like they were in FFVI.

Also, remove the CPR shenanigan in Junon. There's absolutely no point in it because you can't lose, i.e. let Priscilla die.

I can't believe you remembered her name.

I could say I want obvious changes like better graphics and a better script translation so that guy aren't sick anymore (), but that's kind of a given.

One thing I'd really like is to be able to win that fighting game at the Gold Saucer. Not only is it physically impossible to win, but the fifth enemy is invisible! What the hell!?

Also, give Vincent more screentime. Compared to Yuffie he didn't seem to have much to do. And make Sephiroth controllable during the flashback, if you're going to put him in the party let us use him. I felt cheated watching the AI spam Bolt 3 and Quake 3 while I whack enemies with my Level 1 Cloud. ><

Ditto that, Drake. It was awesome being able to check Seph's stats and all but I want full control over him. That way when Cloud get's KO'd Seph doesn't just leave him lying there like a douche.

Also Mog house is epic win, what are you all talking about?!

And Clowbell discussion and Channy's post are win. XD

 

[Makoeyes987]

There should be cowbell IN the Mog House. That'd be epic.

 

[Tiefenrausch]

I wanna see more details of Hojo doing shitty things to Zack and Cloud.
Limit-/Battle system is fine with me, but they could add more mini games, an expanded Chcobo breeding system, make it a tiny bit harder and tougher monsters are a nice option too. Leveling up in the later parts of the game took ages since really strong EXP-creatures were missing.

 

[megas_sephiroth]

Because the gameplay was never that good.

I like it. It's far better than some stuff they do nowadays...

 

[Max Payne]

I never said it was bad.

Also, let's be honest, the gameplay in SE's games have gotten progressively better since FFVII, it's mostly the story and acting that people are divided on.

I thought FFX-2's story was blah and the character bored me, but the gameplay was good.

So true.

 

[Munatik]

Instead of flying, Mog would impress Mag with his cowbell skills?

Also, I would have liked to fight Sapphire at least once before it got counter-shoop da whooped. In fact, the whole time between when the Weapons appeared and Barret and Tifa's rescue I would have liked to play through.

Somehow, that actually makes sense to me that Sephiroth would do that....Cloud gets knocked out, Sephy tosses him to the grunts to carry along.

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

The game feels a little... incomplete in some parts, and if they could fix that, it'd be pretty badass. Like adding new side quests etc. to make it longer.

That little sound you get when you've fed him enough could be a cowbell ringing!

Yeah, probably. But as far as gameplay mechanics go I still want Seph to heal Cloud. XD I mean, doesn't Seph have a super ultra leveled cure materia on him? The meanie.

 

[NoenGaruth]

I've been having thoughts aswell about an improvment to the Battle Square.

I think that should get revamped to work kinda like the missions in Crisis Core, as in you have the options to fight lots of random monsters as it originals goes but can also choose to fight bosses you've defeated in the main story (Full setup, e.g. Fight Rufus again on the ShinRa Tower helipad, since CC had that VR room I'm sure Dio would have the money to get one too) and also have random challenges and such, would add replayability to the game, when you've finished the storyline, just load up your save before you went into the northern crater and play around in Gold Saucer.

Sephiroth DID Life2 Cloud by his own volition in one of my playthroughs.

I was so touched.

 

[Dark and Divine]

Sephiroth DID Life2 Cloud by his own volition in one of my playthroughs.

I was so touched.

The same happened to me too!

But the hilarious part is that right after Sephiroth ressurected Cloud, the latter was hit once again and got KO'ed again.

The second time, Sephiroth didn't bother.

It's a Clophiroth proofz! It happened to me once too. I think.


They should add an ending FMV where Vincent and/or Yuffie are there. They didn't appear as they were optional characters, so the default ending without them there is the one we always see.

IDK what I'm talking about.

It happened to me a few days ago. If he bothered again and Cloud died again over and over, the game would get stuck... lol

Sephiroth always heals me tbh.

It happened to mee too. Sefiros, go to hell and burn.

Nononono. Everything is Clack proofz. Everything.

You see, Cloud was actually Zack, and Sephy could see how worried Zack was about the random grunt that was suffering from motion sickness earlier. However, as a SOLDIER 1st Class, it was Zack's duty to fight the ridicously overpowered monster. Sephiroth saw how pointless that was, and therefore decided to give Zack a chance to run away and go back to his love instead of wasting precious time with him by being KO'd.

Guess who told me that?

Apparently they didn't appear because they were too busy evacuating the peeps in Midgar. But I agree that they should have been in the ending. Actually, I wish they hadn't been optional characters. D:

D: wtf Sephiroth never heals or revives Cloud when I play.

I feel so unloved now. </3

 

[DrakeClawfang]

I agree with the Sapphire Weapon fight idea. Or maybe include Jade and Omega Weapon as bonuses, or even just easter eggs like they did in Crisis Core.

Like that for starters. Although my ultimate FF7 would be:

1. leave the core the same. Do not allow better graphics to turn game into ff7: matrix, like MGS did. Sephiroth flies off.. he does not start a 10 minute graphic fest. This damages any game.

2. Enhanced graphics.

3. orchestral and black mage music as well as the OPTION to use the original musics.

4. More games at the gold saucer (if you look at the background picture you can see there was room for more).

5. retranslated much better (I am working on this)

6. 1 or 2 more sidequests. possibly a new Weapon.

7. Game made harder....

8. cait sith being removed from the story. I find the idea of some toy cat following you around when its really reeve to be a nonsense. Much better that one of reeve's men joins you as the spy instead imho

9. NO messing with the core storyline to try and make it fit in with the disaster spin offs. However, I would personally remove Cait Sith and place in a more plausible character liek a human spy working for reeve

10. more story with vincent.

 

[wayfarer]

you can't take cait sith out. he being in the party is canon. you can't fuck with the canon!!!

EDIT: Unless you're being directed by J.J. Abrams.

 

[Tiefenrausch]

Make Vincent and Yuffie absolute parts of the story.
It kinda sucked when I missed adding Yuffie to my party.
