My video for Lucky 7's to beat Ruby Weapon • Final Fantasy VII Perf...
Final Fantasy VII[b] is a 1997 role-playing video game developed by Square for the PlayStation console. It is the seventh main installment in the Final Fantasy series. Published in Japan by Square, it was released in other regions by Sony Computer Entertainment and is the first in the main series with a PAL release. The game's story follows Cloud Strife, a mercenary who joins an eco-terrorist organization to stop a world-controlling megacorporation from using the planet's life essence as an energy source. Events send Cloud and his allies in pursuit of Sephiroth, a former member of the corporation who seeks to destroy the planet. During the journey, Cloud builds close friendships with his party members, including Aerith Gainsborough, who holds the secret to saving their world.
Development began in 1994, originally for the Super Famicom. After delays and technical difficulties from experimenting on several real-time rendering platforms, Square moved production to pre-rendered video, necessitating the huge capacity of the CD-ROM format and therefore departing Nintendo for the PlayStation. Veteran Final Fantasy staff returned, including series creator and producer Hironobu Sakaguchi, director Yoshinori Kitase, and composer Nobuo Uematsu. The game is the first in the series to use full motion video and 3D computer graphics, superimposing real-time 3D character models over pre-rendered CGI backgrounds. Final Fantasy VII introduced more widespread science fiction elements and a more realistic presentation, while the gameplay systems remained largely similar to previous entries, with the addition of new elements such as Materia, Limit Breaks, and new minigames. The staff of more than 100 had a combined development and marketing budget of around $80 million.
Assisted by a large promotional campaign, Final Fantasy VII was a commercial success and received universal acclaim, selling more than 13.3 million copies worldwide. It is regarded as a landmark game and as one of the greatest and most influential video games ever made. It won numerous Game of the Year awards, and was acknowledged for boosting sales of the PlayStation and popularizing console role-playing games worldwide. Critics praised its graphics, gameplay, music, and story, although its original English localization received criticism. Its success has led to enhanced ports on various platforms, a multimedia sub-series called the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, and the ongoing multipart high-definition Final Fantasy VII Remake, the first installment of which was released in 2020. - Wikipedia

Okay tried finding it in the comments to see if anyone has mentioned it, but I couldn't find it. So I'll say it. A small correction about Vincent's Death Penalty. It doesn't work based on how many enemies are killed with it, but actually how many enemies Vincent has killed during that playthrough. Doesn't matter how he kills them or even if you have the Death Penalty equipped(or you know... even have it)

That's badass thank you. I've still yet to use vincent and i'm finishing up my 1st playthrough lol. For next time though

Nice video, really enjoyed it. I think Doom to the Living deserves an honorable mention too. Vincent can also exploit a speed/agility overflow glitch in the battle arena by having his speed maxed out with sources or by also using speed plus materia or by equipping the sprint shoes. After using his Chaos limit break the glitch will allow you to actually control Vincent in his Chaos form and cast spells, use 4× Cut, etc. He'll also still use his Chaos attacks automatically. Most all of the animations are missing while transformed, but it's pretty fun to do.

It's glorious. Especially since Limit Breaks always go first.

[@Peter_1986]

There is also an awesome bug that allows you to combine the Double Cut materia (and probably other Command materias as well) with HP Absorb. What you do is that you combine HP Absorb with Master Command, and then you equip Double Cut; this will confuse the game into thinking that Double Cut is actually a part of Master Command, and thus allow you to absorb HP from enemies every time you do a 2x-Cut or a 4x-Cut attack, and you can have a lot of fun with that.

[@paulnewhouse5126]

Hey great to see you again buddy! Hope you continue to omnislash us with your awesome content!

[@WandererFromYs]

Regarding Barrets Overflow, you don't need 8 KOTR. I was able to achieve this with just 2 along with 3 Bahamut zero's, 2 W-items, and a Quadra Magic. I know AP wise that's closer to 5, but no one ever mentions it that way. Probably because they are using cheats to test rather than doing the grinding. It's much easier to max those other materia. However to Overflow the final boss it takes a little bit more. Somewhere between 2.5 million, and 2.8 Million, or over 5 and half KOTRs. Exactly 5 and half didn't work, so I had to equip one magic counter for the extra 500k. The lowest I heard of was using 4. But I was actually able to overflow Emerald Weapon with just 2, plus 4 Hero Drinks Regarding 7777 max HP. Equipping magic and summon materias will lower your HP by a percentage. So you can land on certain max hp numbers, you can use this to lower yourself down to 7777 max hp. Ive tried to make a list of max HPs that would work, but this game seems to be doing something weird with the rounding, so the in game numbers never match the calculator. The 1 total i can confirm is 9258 - 16% will land on 7777hp

[@omikronweapon]

I always read it as using underwater materia, as it doesnt have an ap cap. But it feels such as waste to level

[@Chud_Bud_Supreme]

My favorite part was when Barret said "it's lucky 7s time!" and the sevened over everything

[@thorhit]

That was my favorite part. 10/10 game because of that only.

[@veghesther3204]

However the damage from Lucky 7's still leaves Emerald weapon with around 440,000 HP left and if Emerald weapon EVER hits you after the Lucky 7 hits are over my Barret went from doing 7777 per hit to Emerald weapon to LESS the 1000 per Anger max hit so I was still forced to KoTR its HP. Same with Ruby weapon it would still have around half of its HP left the lucky 7 barrage of hits does less then 500,000 in total.

This is very interesting, also it’s great to see that you are back on KZbin.

[@mikeshaver-miller745]

The easiest materia combination for big damage in FF7 is W-Summon and a Knights of the Round materia, which has to be at least level 2. One of the more USEFUL big damage materia combinations is Quadra Magic, W-Magic and whatever magic materia suits the enemies you’re fighting at the time, or just master magics for simplicity’s sake. With maxed out magic stats, you can get Comet2 to deal upwards of 160,000 damage in a single action, although sometimes enemies can interrupt it halfway with a counter action. You can pair an MP absorb materia into this to get MP back, and it USUALLY goes positive as long as the enemies can survive enough hits. As an added bonus, you can switch your tactics, throwing in a cure, regen or Shield before you actually cast your offensive spell. I like W-Quadra-Demi, when it works out, because it can help for morphing strats or with certain big boss enemies, like Emerald Weapon. The number three is a-Quadra-Contain, for casting Freeze specifically. It’s actually better than casting Stop at applying the status effect, and it even does damage as well. Mime has some secondary properties that a lot of people might not know about. Mime copies EVERYTHING about the action that preceded it, including secondary effects from support materia like MP absorb. So, if you gave a party member Master Command, MP absorb and 4x Cut, then mimed that action with all of your party members, you could have every character do 4 attacks that absorb MP (or HP with HP Absorb…) and obviously, this also applies to magic attacks, too. So instead, get a KOTR with MP absorb, W-Summon, then a few copies of Mime. Now, you can do Knights over and over again, earning back ALL of your MP in the process, and do so infinite times, since mime copies the action for free.

[@3Rayfire]

Also, Mime doesn't care about the character. So if you do Omni Slash, you can have every character in the party mime omnislash, they won't actually do it, but when it rolls back around to Cloud he'll be able to mime their mimes of Omnislash and do it again.

[@blakecurry3880]

lol my first time playing the game when I got to Seph I did W summon KOTR KOTR mime mime and that was the end of the fight. Wasn’t until the second play that I found out he even had the Supernova attack I was shocked and impressed

[@MIchaelArlowe]

Honestly the best part of FF7 is finding your own broken strategy to trivialize the game. My favorite was HP Absorb + Comet and mime on three characters. Just use Comet and keep miming and there’s not much that can stand up to you, and the best part is that it’s grinding and materia light. Maybe add an Enemy Skill if you really need the utility.

[@xIcyStarzz-yz7my]

Dude. Useful for what? There's basically 0 end game by the time you get that.

[@acerimmer8338]

I love the materia ATB combat system in FF7. 25+ years later and I'm still learning new things. The FF7 Remake is completely watered-down and does zero justice to the original's combat. It's just button-mashing, no creativity. Bring back turn-based FF, Squenix!!!

[@GhastlyGhostrider]

my fav move was the 7777 thing. I used mini + manipulate materia on some random critter, attacked my own until last digits was 77 then just add potions when out of combat = Boom, next fight (ex. Any Weapons) all three spams "All Lucky 7s". With Ruby and Emerald it took a few Knights after but it did the trick and no deaths. Ruby never got a chance to suck us down!

[@kirkclarke7396]

I did a similar thing but after manipulating I poisoned myself, cured and attacked self with all materia until I got lucky and the last digits on someone was 77. I then used potions until the health came to 7677, then used enemy skill ???? With that character to the others so when given one potion they could all have 7777 hp. Unfortunately I found out when fighting Emmy that lucky 7s does exactly the same amount of damage even when each party member takes turns dealing 7777 damage.

[@user-bw4jm1bv1i]

The FFVIII equivalent of Cait Sith's Limit Break was Selphie's The End and it was so easy to do, just hit the eject button on on the PlayStation and keep re-rolling. That's probably the most powerful move I ever pulled off in a Final Fantasy.

Yeah. 999,999,999 EXP on everyone. 999,999,999 gil. 16,777,215 AP on Underwater materia to master it. 99 of ALL items 99-able (yes, 99 Great Gospels took 40 hours by itself, over 2,000 battles) Max 255 stats on all 8 characters (not utilizing the source duping glitch, I manually morphed with Vincent for 80+ hours, spanning 7,430 battles) At the present time, I have EVERYTHING maxed, aside from EXP and the items acquired at Gold Saucer.

[@SomeGuy712x]

I remember the first time I was able to get a character's HP to 7777 exactly. It was Vincent, who naturally had 4575 max HP at one point, without any materia modifiers. Then, I equipped some HP Plus materia to add +70% to his max HP, which put him at exactly 7777 from there. (Mathematically, it's 7777.5, but then the game rounds down to the magic number.) Of course, the next time he leveled up, his base max HP changed of course, and not to a value that I could use to land exactly on 7777 easily. But, it was often possible to get a character's max HP to at least end in 77, so then I could set it to that, then increase their max HP with more HP Plus materia, and then use some Potions/Hi-Potions to get their current HP to 7777 that way.

Think there was a materia that restored a portion of damage dealt as HP. In any case, the game played itself against the two super bosses and essentially broke the game.

[@lordgiblets7585]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think HP Absorb does what you're saying. I think you can get it as a reward in the chocobo races.

[@HartleySan]

Not the strongest attack, but always been a fan of 4x-Cut. It's quick, easy, and gets the job done.

[@Ubernewb111]

I beat em and ru once in a playthrough before. It's been a long time, but i do remember putting down the controller and doing something else while 4x KotR resolved

[@TheReddinotimeforce]

Quadra magic didnt work on KOTR i used it witg bahamut zero and w dummob with KOTR

[@Ubernewb111]

@@TheReddinotimeforce yeah I had w summon, but I'm pretty sure I had a way of doubling it again to 4. idk it was years ago now

[@justanotherrandomdude8472]

Knights with Mime or mimic that copies the material attached to it. So you’d do 2 knights each go

[@WMartinNI]

I discovered lucky 7s for myself against Ruby totally accidentally. This was way back before I'd ever considered looking up tips on the Internet (I was a teenager in the 90s, I used the Internet for other things) but I still lost.

[@aaronpender6283]

My best combo was full knights of the round paired with counter magic, first time using it on Emerald weapon , i encountered him , set my controller down , he attacked and my multiple knights of the round wiped him out, without even having to take an action or even touch the controller.

[@markblackburn2343]

The overflow glitch will not work on Ruby Weapon due to its defence stat being so high.

[@FuzzMustard]

Emerald Weapons shoulder in the thumbnail looks like baby yoda

[@alexandrebelinge8996]

Cool, and here I thought I was clever back in the 1998 with Knight of the Round and Quad Materia ... Not even close !

[@vargsvansify]

Huh, I thought Knights of the Round didn’t work with Quadra Magic? Still says it doesn’t when I search for it. Are you sure?

[@sir.raphimrevelator8644]

@@vargsvansify yep. It doesnt work on KOTR .except with master Summon. 😁

[@vargsvansify]

@@sir.raphimrevelator8644 Nice loophole! 😃

[@veghesther3204]

Actually it still won't work for 4x KoTR's even WITH Master summon but to NOT die against Emerald/Ruby weapon PS1 version have it trigger HP absorb on the PS4 remaster have 9999 HP turn on the Infinite HP/MP/Limit cheat and as long as you lose LESS then 9999 HP you'll never die.

[@frostreaper6077]

7777 is east to get when fighting the underwater wepons because he performs and attack that does 9999damage which is 1111 damage per materia you have equipped. So if you have only 2 with 9999 health it will bring you to 7777

[@jeffyap6860]

My favorite combo and its takes time to finish lol W summon + kotr then every one using mime counter in every slot they can have

[@Toomnyusernae]

Chocobuckle run away 2222 times over the course of your journey. It'll be worth it for the lucky 7's. And if you use it on all three of your party, every one strikes until some 60 (?) hits are done. I forget what it was but it won't be 7777 x 3 characters individually.

[@mattmarvel9740]

My 1st play through had Cloud hit lucky 7777 it and blew my 13 year old mind

[@TheAzulmagia]

If I knew about that Counter/Mime combo, I probably would've had an easier time killing the two Weapons...

[@Shokisan1]

Fun video ! Thanks

[@MegumiZero]

I used to do the KOR+Hades W-summon with MP/HP, ribbon and fire absorbing armor, but that's beneath me now. Now it's all about that mime. As for Emerald and lucky sevens, his 'Airetam' (materia) attack does 1111 damage per materia equipped. with max health and only 2 materia this attack is suddenly very favorable to the player.

[@robbykurogane7657]

yeah i remember getting Knights as early as possible.. , i think it was during Cloud's coma arc in the middle of Disc 2? (correct me if im wrong) .. , and i have highwind at that time .

[@-0rbital-]

I remember racing those fucking chocobos like all damn day one day to finally get the gold chocobo to get to the island that has the Knights materia. 🤣

Just subbed today!

[@princevaliant]

Dam, I took many tries to beat down Ruby Weapon and Emerald Weapon and I had to went the Knights Of The Round routes and that was a drag for not able to skip the long animation, It gave me phobia if I had to do it agian!!! That was 1998!!!

[@acerimmer8338]

This just makes me miss turn-based in Final Fantasy. The new games (FF15/16/7R) completely lack the strategy, combinations and whacky exploits of REAL FF. Which means they lose half their charm and have just become generic action games w/ lite RPG elements.

[@tgmamka9014]

"Any time you don't want to deal with any boss - master KoTR and stats." By the time you do that or even by the time you get KoTR without some abuses/glitched - there are no bossess left for it to be usefull. Only final bosses and optionl super bosses. Just for info.

[@adamb89]

That thumbnail image looks a lot like baby Yoda.

[@jefferybaird4845]

Mime and Knights of the round. This will finish everything.

[@hansmeiser8133]

I played ff7 in 97 but didnt know this

[@megablack1]

My cheeses were never this phenomenal. I'm a simple guy. I would equip cloud with cover, about 5 maxed out counter attacks, hp plus, e.skill, counter plus phoenix and let cloud go nuts

[@sethwells1602]

I like you counter mime strategy in used demi quadra magic plus mime to beat emerald

[@gaming-oyvinator]
