You can also get 5 for Wii shop if that is something you got. and 7 will soon come to steam on PC! I'v played them all in the last couple of years, was great! | ||

Recently purchased and watched Advent Children Complete on BluRay. This version is sooo much better than the original (approx 30 min more footage and some edits to certain scenes), and the extras that basically took you down memory lane for the FFVII universe did a great job of reminding me how great FFVII was and making me curious about trying those games I missed (Crisis Core and Dirge, although I heard they weren't great). | ||

Its been a while, but I always loathed configuring those emulators downloading graphics plugins and BIOS files and whatnot, and then there was still a long list of games that wouldn't work after all that. Maybe it's better now, I don't know, but 7 and 8 at least are much easier to just use the PC version for. | ||

It's great because characters are just dying and sacrificing themselves all over the place. You thought Aeris dying was a huge shocker? + Show Spoiler + Fuck that, yang turns a giant cannon around and shoots himself. Palom and Porom turn themselves to stone to save you, Cid jumps off an airship with a fucking bomb to blow up another airship! FRIENDS MIND CONTROLLED BETRAYING ONE ANOTHER. GIANT ARMAGEDDON ROBOTS. GIRLFRIENDS KIDNAPPED. SPOONY BARDS. LONG LOST BROTHERS TURN TO BITTER ENEMIES. PARENTS ARE MURDERED AND COME BACK TO LIFE AND THEIR SON HAS TO KILL THEM AGAIN. OLD PEOPLE WITH CRAZY VENGEANCE FOR DAUGHTERS SLAIN KILL THEMSELVES TO GET REVENGE. LITTLE GIRLS WITH DEAD PARENTS WHO YOU KILLED ARE SWALLOWED BY HUGE FUCKING MONSTERS AND THEN COME BACK SUPER AWESOME. YOU FLY TO THE FUCKING MOON fuck those other poser games. | ||

I don't know how anyone can play with rules like plus in existence. Random doesn't hurt me too bad since I just modify all my shitty or non rare cards to items, then all my cards are still good even on random. "Plus" is a different story, That rule rapes me hard. I actually kind of like elemental rule, makes things a little more interesting. At disc one I was trying to abolish all the shitty rules and spread the good ones like open, but I seriously spent 5 hours trying to abolish random in some places and I decided that it would take me less time to play with shitty rules and win than it would to abolish all the shitty rules. | ||

When you have OCD and trying to collect every single card, random sucks so bad. I ended up spreading it everywhere; I remember dueling someone for several hours to get one of the last cards =/ | ||

Just use the latest bios file and you can run pretty much any game. PS2/gamecube/xbox on the other hand are extremely difficult to get to work correctly. | ||

In my first play through, Open spread like wildfire, which is fine if you get good enough cards in Disc 1 (Ifrit and Seifer ftw!) | ||

Crisis core is great, but it's an action RPG, so it's not like other FF games. Anyway it's an amazing game, I'd recommend trying it. | ||

but people mentioning Aeris in FFVII isn't exactly fair there are far more moments in the game that speak to the greatness of FFVII. There were tons of moments which could/should have created a deep emotional impact for you including: + Show Spoiler + Cait Sith's self sacrifice at the temple of the ancients Aeris's Death at the hands of sephiroth Red XIII learning the truth about his father Deans Death The story of Correl Vincent's storyline Burning of Nibelheim Cid's Storyline Biggs wedge and jessie's death Aeris' mother's past Hell some of this just the music will bring back the emotions. Go on grooveshark and listen to aeris' theme, The Great Warrior, Cid's Theme and tell me you don't feel something. That's good storytelling and an amazing soundtrack at work | ||

Good times. Won't touch that game with a 10 foot pole now so I don't ruin good memories. I still have the hard drive with my original materials for the site. I hosted it again with DDNS on a server I have in my house a few years back. I'll put it up again every once in a while to feel nostalgic and link all my friends to it for the lulz. I was such a noob about it too, the HTML was decent, but I made images of every character/locale/GF in BMP and overlaid the text description on it as well. My site was freaking FAT. GG dial-up. | ||

I didn't really like any of the compilation of FFVII games personally. My main issue is all the incredibly tacked-on stories. Are we really supposed to believe that Genesis and Angeal were a real part of the story? They were so obviously made up just for Crisis Core. I never felt like I gained any deeper insight into the events of FFVII and so it made the entire thing seem like a big money-grab. A proper prequel would be more along the lines of Metal Gear Solid 3 which fed perfectly into everything that happened in 1 and 2. And the gameplay in Crisis Core was awful. X X X MAX HP MAX HP X MAX HP X X INFINITE AP X X X X X X LIMIT BREAK X X X X X X X X random overpowered skill. There was literally no decision-making to be made in battle since everything was randomized, and there was little fun to be had exploring that copy-pasted wasteland of a world.

I mean, I could play with the plus rule, but then I'd have to work my way through like 50 different scenarios on paper to figure out what move to make and by that point I'm having even less fun than I had abolishing that piece of shit.

That's good storytelling and an amazing soundtrack at work FFVIII certainly was a disappointment compared to FFVII, but it was a decent game. I enjoyed the fact that the majority of it was less of a big save the world theme but a more intimate interpersonal story, though it did jump the shark once you got to Esther. Personally I loved all the Laguna sequences and would totally play and love the shit out of a game that was purely about him. I also enjoyed the school setting in the gardens and enjoyed the characters interactions and quirks. I think it was a very easy to relate to scenario that hit home with a lot of people. | ||
