My favorite moment from FF7 was jumping off the Mako cannon with Tifa. Poor Tifa has just gone through hell. She lost Cloud, went into a coma, woke up in jail, with Meteor looming in the sky, finds out she's being made a scapegoat, sentenced to die. Then the city comes under attack by Sapphire weapon, she miraculously escapes, only to be chased down, shot at, and beaten up by Scarlet. Just when it seems like everything she's ever cared about has been lost and she's about to be killed, here comes all of her friends on the Highwind! You hear probably the most triumphant theme in the game, and are finally rewarded with an airship. It just goes from one of the lowest moments in the game to one of the highest in the span of a few seconds.

[@peterbach1126]

Thanks for sharing. One of my favorite moments from the game, is the fight against Jenova (after aeris) I was about 7 years old and that cutscene had me devastated, so i did not even try to win the fight, i was absolutely torn as Jenova fought my party. Because of my equipment on Cloud ( "aurora ring" or "armlet" i believe and another resistance/absorb effect) After a while i realized Cloud wasn't dying, he absorbed most of Jenova's spells, and in the end i picked up the controller to finish her off, thus, continuing my journey.

[@plutonium120]

lowest to highest, metaphorically and physically too. you now have an airship! you can fly anywhere!

Another trick that helps in the real early game is this: In the second reactor mission you can fight mutated enemies in the area with the pipes just before planting the bomb. Theyre a little tough for that point in the game but they can drop items that can cast bio2. It sells for a lot but also does massive damage to humanoid enemies. Probably the strongest attack until you start getting enemy skills

At that point you can already efficiently grind AP for a mastered All materia in Junon. And you also have Aqualung by that point so just use Ethers outside of battle since you already have at least 1,400,000 gil from selling an All materia and 99 Ethers only costs 148,500 which isn't that much and if you're on the overworld or near a save spot then use Tents. Beta and Aqualung start to lose usefulness after the North Crater but immediately after you can get Knights of the Round and Ultima.

Personally I think the whole story of FFVII is something you'll never forget once you experience it. it brings a whole maelstrom of emotions to the surface like: Awe at the designs of the summons, sense of accomplishment at winning against the Weapon bosses, Sadness at seeing Aerith getting shish kabobed by Sephiroth, Anger at everything Sephiroth does after losing his marbles and finally Gratification and justification when you Defeat Sephiroth at the end of the game.

[@jedirayden]

@RevanSecura first, great name. Second, I mostly agree with your opinion on the original FF7... BUT I was 18 when I first played 7, 26 years ago, (and I had played 4, 6, Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana on the SNES, so it wasn't my first Squaresoft or FF game) and the one portion of your post that wasn't true for me was sadness at the death of Aerith. I literally felt nothing at all, aside from the shock at an unexpected twist in the narrative. Aerith was literally NEVER in my party except when the game forced me to include her, as I generally don't like using magic/summons in these games. Yes, summons and some spell animations (at least in newer games) can look pretty cool, but I prefer brawlers over mages, and Aerith definitely falls into the latter category. And in FF7 in particular, with the way summon/magic materia has a negative impact on a character's strength/HP stats, to this day I will literally NEVER equip any magic/summon materia on Cloud, EVERYTHING is geared towards making him the best melee character possible, who gets his limit breaks much more often than anyone else. Anyway, point being that narrative importance aside, Aerith is just a dead weight in my party who never gets used, so I still really don't care that she dies. This is going to sound really cold, but (I was an uncaring teenager at the time) on that first playthrough, I'll never forget that I looked straight at the screen and thanked Sephiroth for removing useless baggage from the group. I was genuinely shocked (again, at that time in my life and that age) when I talked to other people and they told me how heartbroken they were and how they tried all these different "tricks" to bring her back. By contrast, in FF6, my entire motivation to finish the game and defeat Kefka was him killing General Leo... Who was an extremely powerful warrior archetype character that I got to use for one or two fights before Kefka killed him. Aerith the healer mage with a heart of gold who was with me for half of a 60 hour game? No impact on me whatsoever. Edit: I don't even dislike Aerith as a character, I just have no use for her with how I play the game, and any time I replay the game, I see even less point in bothering to do anything with her knowing that she's going to die and using her is literally a waste of effort.

You probably already know this, but ... Lost Number will change his form midway through battle depending on what attack sets him over the edge. If it's a physical attack, he turns into his purple and much deadlier form. If it's a magic attack, he turns into his orange-red and much weaker form. If you ever have trouble with him, just spam magic until he changes, then use physical attacks to finish him off.

It's when Tifa lies to me in Junon about her loss of memory in a 5 year span when really it was 7 years. (Because in Kalm Cloud tells the party that it was 5 years ago Nibelheim was burned -- when really it was 7 years ago. All the while Tifa quietly sits aside letting Cloud reaccount his 'memories') Cloud really worked up a lot of inner-psychotic courage to tell himself subconsciously to ask Tifa about Nibelheim while the party slept after rescuing Priscilla. So, suddenly Tifa wakes him up after that internal scene because of the parade practice, and after he asks her about Nibelheim she just changes the subject right away to the "noise" going on outside. Could say more about the depth of that moment but will leave it at that. This game may have one of the last crappiest translations in the FF Universe, but they nailed the idea of what was happening between Tifa and Cloud in this moment. Like most people don't realize this exchange on the first playthrough...and that's why I love this game.

I didn’t learn anything new in this video, but I’m super impressed you put in the effort to pull that off. 80+ hours is usually what I sink into a complete game, but that includes multiple copies of Master Materia. Nice work!

[@Primalliquid92]

i mean its in no way shape or form efficent to do this, more of a "what can you do" sort of thing. just playing the game normally will get you there alot faster than this lol even if you take the time to master a bunch of KOTR materia

I managed to get level 99 on all characters on disc 1 when it first came out , I just grinded the bottom island

[@planescaped]

FF6 is my personal favorite FF game, but my favorite part of FF7 is when you wake up on the Shinra HQ after being captured and that spooky music hits and you know something is terribly wrong... Second favorite part is the Bike Chase. That theme is a chefs kiss. Third favorite part is Tifa... Just Tifa and the unrealistic expectations in women she instilled in kid me, lol.

[@MrAlasador]

My favorite final fantasy 7 moment was meeting Yuffie Kisaragi. I wasn't expecting to meet one of the recruitable characters in a random encounter, which wasn't quite so random, when I originally played the game. The fact that it took me seven to eight tries to figure out what to do made it both annoying and memorable.

[@Primalliquid92]

it was absolutely a fun little minigame where you cant save, enter the menu or rename her. truly funny tbh lol

[@chrishubbard64]

I agree, also learning later on, well after my first playthrough, that I TOTALLY could have gotten her into my party so much sooner as its literally any forest area that you can meet her made me want to play it all over again. Luckily I had this odd love for the mountain battle mini game thing so had a save for file each one as I played with all the ways to win them so I loaded up the first, won it, then went out to go get my happy little materia thief. Did my happy dance, and beat the game again just because. This was probably the final fantasy game I beat the most and with the most variety as I kept trying different things including eventually giving in and earning me a gold chocobo through racing and breeding to get knights of the round (which is just broken)

Great video, I did notice one mistake at 21:25 though, you need to have 44 consecutive baskets to get 300 BP, not 10.

[@Kingdo99a]

16:10 this can easily be finished with a grand total of 20k points. After the section where balloons appear you will go around a left bend. There on the right is a yellow zeppelin. Shoot its propellers for 12k each. Just move cursor to far right of screen and a little above center and you should be able to hit it every time. Only available on later versions of the game.

*sees vid* Just started FF7 for the third time in the past year, so why not... *clicks vid* Oh, and my favorite part of the game happens to be Cosmo Canyon.

[@ericmcmanus5179]

I rind that one of the best places to grind limit breaks at the beginning is in the forest just near Junon. If you put hyper's on your characters, the blue impulse amd grand spsrk enemies really pump up your limit gauges greatly. Plus you can get 3 enemy or 5 enemy rotations. So using matra magic is very good at unlocking subsequent limit break levels. Its also very good experience and gil at that point too.

JTrain564 That was my favorite spots too to grind for ap, especially the magic pots and three orange dots jump up and down, sorry couldn’t remember the enemy name.

All my characters were hitting no less than 9970 damage but for the most part they all hit 9999 damage. And got all their last weapon and all limit breaks

[@Jumpernot]

Oooo I know a tiny way to imrpove your strategy. Go items > arrange > manually and put the Chocobo greens at the top of your inventory so you don't spend the battle looking for them and have them run away. I think you can slo change the ATB settings so nothing happens while you look.

My fondest memory of the game was actually the lucky seven's trick, had no idea it was a thing when i was a kid so I was able to activate it by complete chance and thought my game was broken, lol.

[@StillBillyD92]

It's really hard to pick my favorite moment because there are so many of them. Got this on my 6th or 7th birthday and just had so many questions about life just through reading the dialogue... I am sure many other fans will agree but it is whenever Tifa meets Cloud in the Lifestream. So many dots connect together eventfully, but emotionally and wholly you get to see how Cloud has grown once the dust has settled and the party is back on the airship. Cloud was reluctant, really didn't give a @#$& about the planet or anybody else for that matter, and he was really just looking for Gil through his actions with Avalanche. As the story progresses he begins to care about everyone that is around him, and he becomes attached to the journey that Aeris kick starts for everyone. (That's how I first saw her name, I don't care about anagrams.) When you're in the Lifestream with Cloud and Tifa watching those pieces reconnect, and then seeing Cloud really being "himself" for the first time, you see how caring and confident he is. I can connect with that a lot, and that is what makes this title so genius. For one thing someone doesn't click with, there is totally another thing in this game that will likely hit home for you somewhere, somehow. The question is are you strong enough to play the polygonal hell that FF7 is today? Because back in the late '90's this was a banger.

[@vidoardes]

Nice Video! FYI there is an easy way to get the umbrella from the Speed Square, there is a 25,000 target near the end on the right. This works on the PS4, Steam and Switch, not sure if it works on PS3.

favorite moment in ff7 (because apparently we're talking about this): sephiroth in the fire. absolutely traumatic. sephiroth is on a complete rampage and there is nothing you can do. fire doesnt even touch him. also we just saw him slay dragons with zero effort. fucking boss. absolutely epic. and still gives me chills. just the music.

[@dosenplok140]

You can encounter Harpy (for Aqualung) when you walk the edge of the desert on the world map. No Chocobo Lure or Buggy needed. On Speed Square shoot the propeller of the yellow blimp to get thousands of points. The blimp apears on the right side along little blue ufos.

[@Skyfighter64]

One side note about the Junon tunnel mobs. The Sweeper mob that looks like the one you learned Matra Magic from back around the outskirts of Midgar? That has a double materia growth weapon on it you can steal for Barret.
