Final Fantasy VII

[sk8ndestroy14]

So has anyone else here ever played final fantasy seven? I know it's a little old by now, but I still think it's the best game I've ever played. I've had it for a long time, but just recently I killed emereld weapon. I still haven't beaten Ruby weapon yet. Anybody else play this game?

[christina>you]

I watched my boyfriend play it, and I know a lot of people that love it, but I just don't see what's so great about it. Lol, maybe I'm weird. But I'm more of a Halo 2 type of gamer. ;)

[sk8ndestroy14]

Well, for me, I started playing when I was like seven years old. I got frustrated with it at parts, but it took me until I was ten or eleven to beat it. Most video games I play are too easy or don't take much playing time to beat. And even now, being seventeen, I still haven't completely mastered the game yet.

Wow... interesting.
I don't really understand how to play.

[joshSCH]

hah yea.. I love halo 2 too.. xbox live rocks, I've only played with my cousin though.. that sword owns lol

Yep, I played it. Played it on my PC, p166, 32mb ram. First time I beat the game it froze right before the ending started.

I only played the ones that came out on PC. I've thought about getting a PS2 to play ff9,10 and 12.

Heh, that sucks. But I think you can see the ending video on utube or something. I've played 10 and I thought it was pretty good except the main character seems kinda dorky but it's okay. If you get a chance to play 10 then see if you can notice while you play that all of the characters call each other by their name (I think it's the first final fantasy that uses actual voices) aloud, but since you can create the main character's name, they go through the whole game having absolutely no idea what his name actually is. I didn't really notice it until the end.

I think it was nine that was the last ps1 version. It was either 8 or 9 that came with four discs. 7 had three but to tell the truth I kind of think they could have fitted it on two but they used it as a selling point (maybe, I don't know).

Yeah, I was real confused for a while, especially cause of how young I was when I first played, with all the materia and if you equipped some it would raise some statistics but lower others. That and I didn't like to fight the battles I didn't have to so I'd run and by the time I had to kill a boss I didn't stand a chance. It's time consuming at first, but it isn't as addictive as w.o.w. I've lost a few friends to that game. lol.

I remember bits and pieces of the game when I played it. I also remember spending days on end in my basement playing FF8. Keeping in mind that particular summer was crazy humid.

[jbennet]

Final fantasy X for the PS2 was crappy IMHO. Same goes for kingdom hearts.

Haha.. yeah. My boyfriend is crazy about Final Fantasy. =/ He's about to lose me over it! ;)

I don't know what IMHO is, but I guess it means graphics. The thing is, the game was originally japanese and when they translated it they didn't change any mouth movements or when they did it was very little (I remember watching this somewhere). That and sometimes two objects should be in contact but they're far from it and it's kind of funny to see.

[joshSCH]

IMHO= In My Humble Opinion

Jbennet doesn't like offending people, so he uses this phrase instead. I don't think he should really care what other people think.. but w/e

[John A]

>but w/e
What does that mean? :P

[joshSCH]

"but whatever". I think people are too sensitive to other people. We are way too 'politically correct' these days..

[John A]

> "but whatever"
I know what it means. I was trying to make the point of how useless abbreviations usually are. I guess I'm not completely innocent of that myself, but using them just so that it saves you a few keystrokes? I don't really know...

>I think people are too sensitive to other people. We are way too 'politically correct' these days..
Perhaps. But think of this the other way, is racism, sexism, and all the other sorts of ridicule good to have? Maybe we're too restrictive now, but it would definitely be far worse on the flip side.

[sk8ndestroy14]

It really doesn't offend me if someone disagrees with me, especially if it's only about a video game. I think it would be worse if people were racist/sexist/prejudiced, etc. but I think most people aren't, so being too restrictive isn't always necessary, although it is better than racist/sexist/prejudiced comments. But like I said, I don't really think it's very offending to anyone if it's just about a video game or the like.

[sk8ndestroy14]

But anyway, has anyone actually killed Ruby Weapon in Final Fantasy VII? Any tips or hints or strategies for it?
