Aside from FF7, FF9 was great too! But yea, FF7 is a great game. I doubt I have the time to replay it. I have the OST music for it though :) Great music! + Piano Collection!

Yeah, I liked FF9 too. Wasn't as good as 7 but it sure as hell beat FF8 if you ask me. I never played FF1-3, but I played FF4-10.

Never played 10-2, never will. Dress-spheres? No thanks.

Best game ever i played FF7 3times+

The materia system kicked ass as it lets you do custom combos and such.
The chocobo racing gave great prizes. I am waiting for FF7-2...

I wonder why they made a FFX-2 but not FF7-2.

It really had me going when she dropped the white materia into the lake..:(

i was waiting for cloud and tifa to hit it off tooo...

One of my BIGGEST regrets in my 20yrs of living has been to DELETE the FF7 saves! WTF was I thinking?! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO stupid...

BUT I have some what redeemed myself on that account. My bro who's 9 started to play it about 6 months ago. He has everything and more that I ever had on it when I first played it the Oct/November I got it :D. Got my memory card saved with a bunch of stuff. Have pratically everything on it :D VERY COOL.

So yeah I got to play it again basically and do everything without the the mundane stuff. Well it was alright the 1st time but I really would not like to do it a 2nd time around. Got my bro to level up ages ago in the sunken ship lol. Also got to get th e armour and weapons that gave double and triple materia points or when fighting the boss = level up everything FAST.

Another tip for money is to Master an All command materia and sell it. Easy 1.4mill GP.

Love the game. Definately one of my favorites.

I'll get Advent Children :D

Lol I farmed All materia in the final dungeon with 3x AP weapons vs magic pots, good times good times... when I first played through, I got everything except the dang add effect materia (which is really cool) and a few of the weird weapons
Pretty much got everything... But if you have a DexDrive, you don't need to waste any time doing that stuff.

Yeah I got a dexdrive, its really handy. Shame that dexchange is gone though

Is that the thing that lets you download saves from the net and put them on your memory card? Comeon people that ruins the game, FF7 is fun to play through and earn the stuff yourself, otherwise it wouldnt be fun, the side quest are the best things.

Josh

Heh yeah you can download saves. I mainly used it to backup saves, that way I could maintain saves from like 20 games on just one memory card. Its also useful if you're renting a game and you wanna try out all the features, for instance you could download the street fighter alpha save with all characters unlocked. Also good for impossibly hard games like einhander =P

A bit long, and you can tell the writing is amateur, but not bad for a fanfic.

HAs anyone gotten FF& to work in XP? I read somewhere that there are some compatibility issues.... when I tried to run it it would just freeze during random parts of the game

i think it's time to install an emulater again. i never got the pc version to work the way i liked.

i also have both versions of FF8 for some reason but i've never played even 5min of either one. odd seeing how much of a square fanboy i am, i just never had the desire to play it.
