but final fantasy 7 is fucking awesome. ive beat it 3 time (a 90+% completion on one)
ive been playing it again, and i just got to the jenova reunion . this game is so fucking good. the fact that clouds whole life is a lie and sephiroth is controlling cloud in the first 2 discs always blows my mind every time
i'm going for a 99% completion this time around(with a guide), which is opening every chest, having one of every item/materia, every side quest, etc.. but i'm not going to obtain 99 of every item(you need to abuse a glitch to do it) and i'm probably not going to master every materia either.
i do look forward to abusing the hades-ultima trick on ruby weapon though. not sure how i'm gonna tackle emerald weapon yet

ffx is another favorite of mine. i never played the intl. version, with dark aeons, but i did beat the shit out of the NE version. i made nemesis my bitch.
i dunno which FF is my favorite (aside from 11, the online one which i spent years playing) but 10 is easily a contender. although the butterfly minigame for khimaris best weapon is infuriating. and the minigame for lulus ultimate weapon (dodging thunder) is simply impossible

all other ff games<ff4<ff7<ff6
but yeah ff7 fuckin rocks. have you played ogre battle:march of the black queen? i had it on snes but they remade it for playstation. almost impossible to get 100% completion. to do it without a guide would require stepping on every tile on every map, with other modifying variable prerequisites fulfilled. so much replay value though

I actually have like a really old strategy guide for ff7 too that I'm pretty sure was English dubbed from japan. Bc it had aerith instead of aeris. Or is it the other way? Man I gotta play it again. Time to bring out the ol ps2.
I actually really enjoyed ff8 and 9. More so 8 for some reason tho. I really enjoyed 10 but stopped playing the later games. We bought the realm reborn but my fiance played it not me. Oh and crystal chronicles was freaking cute.

get yourself a ROM. its one of my all-time favs for sure. ff tactics is great but its too easy to exploit. get auto-potion early and the rest is easy. you can beat the game with a party of only knights with two-swords and auto-potion

my paper guide has Aerith as well, i think they all did. i still have my FF 7,8,9(worst guide ever), and 12 guides. i also have a second edition guide for FF11. 8 is in bad shape though, cause i spilled water on it
the official strategy guide for FF7 was missing alot of info though. it missed alot of treasure. there are way better online guides
ive been using this one. its 100% completetion in html http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps/197341-final-fantasy-vii/faqs/71240

anyone play star ocean 2? that game was so far ahead of its time, it isn't even funny. Great battle system. Really high level cap. hell, it even had a decent storyline and some funny dialogue. worst rpg to play for nostalgia? lufia. gotta be. you will spend every 2 steps getting into a "random" battle on the world map

I have tactics on IOS and that game is pretty hard actually. I beat it before but without some extra leveling (in tactics takes much longer per battle of course) youd just not have the skills you need. I really loved Vandal Hearts. Its alot like tactics but came out in 96 for PSX. And has gore for an RPG, lol. I like it even more than FFT

thats the thing, you can power level for an hour or so right at the beginning, and breeze through the rest of the game. It becomes even easier once you actually get autopotion because you can beat down the enemies until there is only one left and wound him so he runs off to a corner of the map. then just set your party up in a line and have them take turns whacking each other. so much free jp.

^i guess it can be really easy or really hard. But if you think about it, same is true with FF7. I remember my friend would just level up for hours. I guess the difference is FF7 actually has Emerald and Ruby weapon which you cannot beat if you dont do that, but at lvl 90+ the last boss is a joke.
Its not like you have to fight emerald and ruby...chances are you would already have knights of the round and the gold chocobo by the time you beat them... Lol. Its like aeris' limit break....why?

i stopped playing the storyline at one point, and spent a month obsessively playing the snowboarding sim mini game on my first run-through of FF7. By the time i got tired of it, i was like "what was i supposed to be doing again?"

actually the final boss in ff7 gets alot harder if everyones 99. his hp does from 80k to 400k and he hits waaay harder

wow. i didnt remember that EVERY FUCKING CHARACTERS ULTIMATE WEAPON IS SHIT.
serious. no matera growth on ANY of them. theres no reason to ever use them in any fight except genova rebirth, and sephiroth/s in the last dungeon i'd be an idiot to use them on the optional bosses
Yuffies seems the only ultimate weapon thats usefull at all really, cause it does full damage with morph. glad i picked her to be in my main team. but still 
ive been playing on an emulator, so i can play at high speed and i just got to disc 3. all i have left to do is get the items from the battle/speed arena, the 2 difficult weapons, get the enemy skills from crater, and steal some odds and ends so i have every item. i'm at 37 hours, but ive only played for about 20 in real life time

FF X is really that good? I think I bought the remake but can't remember but I loved FF 7, to death.. I played many of the others prior to that but like you said the story just fucking blew my mind. I want to play it again but not the PC version or on an emulator so I will wait for the remake. It'll be worth the wait to I bet. As for FF X, they did remake that didn't they? or am I thinking of something else.?

they released an international version in english, with more content and optional superbosses that weren't in ther original NA version
FFX is fucking awesome though. its one of the best, in gameplay and story. its alot more rewarding to fill up the sphere grid than it is to just get to level.99 like most FFs. Yuna hitting with a physical attack for 99,999 on the most difficult bosses? yes please
just my opinion though
