I am playing it right now, and I love it. It has a great story, and a fun new battle system.

[clief101_]

i have played and completed it, and let me tell you, it was incrediibly satisfying.

the story explains zacks whole part in the story, how he meets cloud, and if u havnt watched FFVII: Last order, then it explains the events of nibelhiem. the battle system was very good also, and was equally good when fighting sephiroth.

would i recommend it? definetly!!!!!

[TherathxRikku]

It's a fantastic game that (in my opinion) is superior to VII. The battle system is a bit iffy, but it has many hours of story and missions to do, I recommend it completely. Just be prepared for the ending.

[clief101_]

that ending got me going...even though i knew what was going to happen (kinda)....it jus hit me hard lol

[TherathxRikku]

Me too, my friend Zane and I actually both were bawling over the ending. My ex was sitting there laughing at us. xD

[clief101_]

now thats just cruel, she jus dusnt understand our feelings!! i mean, i almost cried wen aerith died!! that was sad, but in my opinion, zacks death was ALOT sadder, i mean, the build up to it, and then the actual dieing....SAD!!!

[TherathxRikku]

Exactly. lol

[clief101_]

but man is zack strong, he took on the entire shinra army and left only 3 guys standing!!!

[TherathxRikku]

That's the power of SOLDIER, I sometimes wish life were like a Final Fantasy. ^-^

[clief101_]

it is!! man he is strong, and jus think, cloud is actualy stronger than sephiroth, just his insecurities get in his way...ive dreamt of living in final fantasy world....my name clief, i made up along with an entire story. i want to see if i can give it to square and c wat they think? that would be awsum!!

[TherathxRikku]

Same here with Therath. I have a character with the same name laid out for each FF. I have a lot of time on my hands.

[clief101_]

lol, i tried to right a book, but that didnt work. my plan now is to draw a manga of it....but it is kinda hard to lol

[TherathxRikku]

I've written a couple of stories, fanfics, rather. They aren't terrible...

[clief101_]

lol, like i said, ive tried....its not bad or anything, its just that i get to to certain point, and cant explain the things in my head on paper, i cant find the right words, y'no?

[TherathxRikku]

Writer's Block is the worst thing to happen to anybody. -_- I can't come up with a chapter 2 for my fanfics...

[Heartless Angel]

This was my first FF on the PSP, and I loved it. Probably my favorite part of FFVII, other than the original game. Zack is the ideal member of Soldier, and the gameplay was amazing, like real life combat.

The music of this game is really good too, I bought the soundtrack and still listen to it to this day, mostly the Price of Freedom. (The music that plays ehen Zack is fighting the Shinra Army, where he dies.)

Saddest ending to a game I've ever seen too...

[TherathxRikku]

That's the name of that saddeningly beautiful song? YouTube, here I come!!!

I think the part that really got me was when the DMW glitched and you hear the voices of friends, and when Cloud says "hold on," not a very saddening quote by itself, but with the music, it made me cry for some reason. :'(

Yep, that was the part that threw me into that space, I didn't cry, but I was damn near it. Plus what Cloud said before that, "If only I were Soldier..." Aww!

They outdid themselves with that ending... beautiful and sad at the same time... plus the foreshadowing with the wings... "Thos wings, I want them too" was brillant. As he got his wings at the end... :)

Damn this is sad remembering this. :o

[TherathxRikku]

I know what you mean, I New Game +'d the game near 20 times, course I like to play games till the disk is pretty much garbage. lol

I'm the same way, took me forever to get the Genji Sheild. Damn Magic Pots...

[TherathxRikku]

I barely managed to have the Materia for the Magic Pot. lol Problem was surviving the other monsters till I found it. >_>

[Heartless Angel]

Thats when Dash comes in handy, I hated those damn birds with a passion...

[TherathxRikku]

Costly Punch, ftw. :D Though getting enough HP for it is tough.

My favorite part of the game has to be the Church soundtrack, I could literally fall asleep to it. :3

[clief101_]

yes, this game is awsum, there isnt much bad stuff about it really

[TherathxRikku]

Although getting Goblin Punch was a pain in the ass, just the mini game to get it.....urgh...

[clief101_]

i havnt overly dun those things, was more interested in the plot, then wen i went to do it again, i got another game and havnt played it since

[TherathxRikku]

It's a great game, though. What game did you trade out for it?

[clief101_]

i didnt trade it, jus bought another game? i cant member wat game it was now??

[TherathxRikku]

Oh. That happens.

[clief101_]

yes it dus...ive never traded a game in...never will, i love all my games

[TherathxRikku]

I only trade them in if they're defective...OR if they are X-MEN Origins: Wolverine. That game was painful...

[clief101_]

you shouldnt play this game if all u want to do is do the challenges...they r just an added bonus, you need to play it for the storyline, otherwise u wont enjoy it as much

[TherathxRikku]

That's why I tried to beat XII, the challenges is why I stopped playing. >_>

[clief101_]

lol, so uve given up now??

[TherathxRikku]

Officially, yes...

So, has anybody here acquired all the Genji Gear? I, personally believe it made the game exceptionally easier, Endure Regen status B*TCHINNN!!!!!!!

[clief101_]

nope, i dont have any of it actually...i realy only played it for the story, not the extras

[TherathxRikku]

I thought I would quit after beating it, too, but then I started swimming through the missions and the Genji Gear made me wanna beat every mission, and eventually I did, but I still play it.

[clief101_]

it dus get like that. i do that with most games months after i finish the story, wen im not so sick of trying to lvl up

[TherathxRikku]

Just randomly get the urge to play a game? lol

[ShadowHeart]

Sounds like the two of you should've made a new thread for this discussion :p

Anyway, this game is worth getting just for the story and the powerful ending! It moved me to tears, despite the fact that I knew what was coming. There are some gameplay flaws, so the game isn't exactly perfect. Everything else though, most of all the story, more than makes up for it.

[clief101_]

that it dus!! and i agree with you, even though i knew wat was going to happen at the end, it still got me

[TherathxRikku]

I was clutching the game while rocking back and forth crying, "He's not gonna die!"

[clief101_]

i think it was the fact that he took on the whole shinra army and had 3 left but couldnt quite make it....

[TherathxRikku]

I have 99,999 HP and I STILL lost! T-T

[clief101_]

haha, ive tried to kill those 3....u move slower but if u dodge roll its the same speed as always, so i tried that and attacked them, but they wuldnt die!!!

[TherathxRikku]

I had Mortal Shock equipped and they still lived, I also tried using Costly Punch ten times over, they have more health than Minerva! >.<

[clief101_]

i think its safe to say its impossible XD

[TherathxRikku]

It actually is, but I like joking. :P

In other news, I realized that the graphics in this game are much better than in Dissidia, mainly cause people have EMOTION in CC. >_> But also, the limits are a bit more impressive, Dissidia has the same backgrounds for all the EX Bursts, it's a cool background, but it gets kinda old to look at. :p

[clief101_]

umm....id say the graphics themselves are better in dissidia with gameplay, but better in CC with CGI....but Dissidia does get repetative, but only coz its a fiighter game

[TherathxRikku]

I could never multitask to pay attention to the graphics while trying to survive in a fight. xD

[clief101_]

haha, u can see in the realy easy battles. like wen u go through and do the destiny stuff again

[TherathxRikku]

I haven't started a new game in forever, I want to beat the original VII before going back through it so I understand the references. xD

[clief101_]

perhaps u should play that then XD

[TherathxRikku]

Working on it.

[clief101_]

haha, get to it

[TherathxRikku]

I just cleared Cosmo Canyon, the boss there was way too strong since I was underleveled, but I got through at level 23. :D

[clief101_]

haha, use a pheonix down on it and it dies :P

thats a low lvl for me

[TherathxRikku]

.________________________________.

Of all bosses, THAT one can be beaten cheaply? I wish the boss at the Shinra Mansion (the on in the safe) died that easily. >_>

[clief101_]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! that is a hard 1. u gota use magic or physical, depending on the colour it changes....did ya get vincent??

[TherathxRikku]

Yup, I got Vinnie, I also got Yuffie out of chance, met her right in front of the Temple of the Ancients, which is where I'm currently stuck. Although I think I'm nearing the end of disc 1.

[clief101_]

where are u stuck in there?

u still have a lil bit to go yet

[TherathxRikku]

Red Dragon fight, they forced Aerith into my party, which threw me off completely, I was trying not to use her since she dies and is removed from my party.

[clief101_]

but if u didnt know that, then u would use her wouldnt u??

[TherathxRikku]

My hard work would go out the window, so no. If she didn't die, then I would use her, aside from Vinnie, she's my favorite character from VII.

[clief101_]

i think u'll need to lvl her up a bit to beat both the bosses. if u can save after the red dragon (dont know if u can?) DONT!! coz there is NO WAY to lvl after that and b4 demon wall. if u cant beat demon wall and uve saved it, then ur guna have to start again

[TherathxRikku]

Noted, I usually make two save files to be safe. :p but I probably won't attempt Red Dragon till I get more of Aerith's Limit Breaks.

btw, we are WAY off topic.

[clief101_]

well...we still talking bout VII....kinda on topic lol

[TherathxRikku]

Oh well.

I just cleared Hard Mode again last night, beat Minerva and every other mission. I was remembering how much I loved this game while playing it. :p

[clief101_]

im stuck at sephy on hard mode...lol, its hard!! then again i havnt played it in ages so my skills r a bit off

[TherathxRikku]

Costly Punch, ftw. :D I have the formula for it if you want it.

[clief101_]

haha, na its okay. i prefer to do thing myself :) i never let any1 play my save files, and if i do i dont let them save it

[TherathxRikku]

Understandable.

[clief101_]

i jus dont have that same satisfaction of finishing a game if i have help...if its hard enough to need help, then i feel even better wen i dont accept the help

[TherathxRikku]

I got this guy at my school begging to have my Dissidia data, I have little left to do before completing it and he's having a hard time leveling up. It's annoying to have to repeat myself over and over...

[clief101_]

u dont want to give it away really...i would only do that if the person had completed the game and stuff...then he can have my super file....but not for something like dissidia....its a dif type of game

[TherathxRikku]

I'm reluctant to do it with any game, really. Even CC.

[clief101_]

ill do it with my close friends, who ino could do it all if they wanted....and those that realy love the game that im giving the file for

[TherathxRikku]

I did it once for my friend, he was stuck on a boss on FFX, so I gave him my beaten file since he only wanted to see the ending and he was stuck on Seymour, don't know why, the last Seymour is a pansy. >_>

[clief101_]

i agree....not worth my time lol

[TherathxRikku]

Spam elemental magicks!!!!!!!

[clief101_]

yep....it was jus a waste of time putting that fight in

sorry wait, my mistake, yu-yevon was a waste of time

[TherathxRikku]

As were the Shin-ra troops at the end of CC, you can't die in that fight either. And if you take away the Auto-Phoenix, Yu Yevon is hard if you aren't prepared for it. If you have Zombie Attack, he's pathetic.

[clief101_]

i didnt think so..i never die

[TherathxRikku]

I found out through the hella-damage done by Missile. I was like, "lolwut?", however, my Regen filled me back up pretty quick.

[Gumdrop]

Thought it was well worth one playthrough, but didn't feel like doing a replay for some reason..maybe one day. I would reccomend it as it really is worth one playthrough imo.

[TherathxRikku]

I play games only for replay and the "keep your levels" idea was a good idea, especially if you all of a sudden decide to switch difficulties.

[Gumdrop]

It is a good idea. I really wish more Square games had a new game +

[TherathxRikku]

Like FFX. I'd know that game in & out (more so) if that happened. lol

[Gumdrop]

I heard they might add a new game plus to FF13 as DLC, seriously hope that isn't people having a tease. They definayl should have done that for X since I never wanna have to dodge lightning for that weapon ever again :p

[TherathxRikku]

I spent 20 minutes in the Thunder Plains, my friend kept count, we went to 205 just to be sure..

I actually wish IV had a New Game +, Dark Elf is a pain in the arse.

[clief101_]

i agree gree..i havnt played it in a bit actualy. thats where im up to

[TherathxRikku]

I'm leveling up over and over, I'm trying to hit level 30 so I can maybe survive in there.

[clief101_]

like i said, i havent played it in a long while now

[TherathxRikku]

So ANY-wayZ.

Anybody try out the Ultima materia. :D It's most beastly.

[clief101_]

does this game have ultima??
