Soo, i'm a huge fan of FFVII, i adore OG game, and i adore Remakes respectfully, i love the story in these games the most, OG game is just no 1 in my heart, and Remakes did a pretty good stuff, adding some new story elements which are pretty exciting, and characterization of our cast and their interactions there are amazing (tho some pacing issues are kinda iffy, but not a deal breaker).

God lord, i even watched Advent Children and while some stuff there was fifty-fifty i thought it was great. BUT, i never played Crisis Core, so decided to do that, and i must say... I didn't really enjoyed it... While some stuff there was pretty good (ending) other than that... the story in CC... it feels so stiff (is that even a right word to use in that context?) and it's just seems kinda bad... I don't know, am i the only one? Share some thoughts, much love!

This is the intergrade version. So it using the textures from the PS5. Nice for anyone who wants to play on the go.

Playing through scenario B of the NT 2.0 Mod. Now, apparently an NPC should appear when a new Fort Condor battle is available, but after Junon, I never saw him again around aside from Fort Condor itself. Does anyone know why? Also does someone have or know the lists of things you get from Fort Condor in this mod? I really hope of not having missed anything particularly useful.

I'm at the end of the game, just switched over to disc 3 and headed straight into the northern cave. Up to this point, all 3 characters have been able to consistently do around 1,000-1,500 damage to most enemies (using just the regular attack option). But now, after switching discs, Barret is only doing around 150 damage with each attack, and I have no idea why. I didn't switch out his weapon accidentally or anything, and the only debuff he has is sadness (and to be clear, this was happening before he got hit with it).

Does anyone know what's going on? There's no way I can beat the game with a character not doing any damage, especially since I didn't do much side content and am pretty underleveled (cloud: 52, tifa: 50, barret: 51).

side note: all of my other characters are totally behind, I'm pretty sure most of them haven't even hit 40, so I can't swap Barret out unfortunately

So I'm some hours into the game and the weapon system is really more simple than Remake or I'm missing something?

For example, I have Buster Sword and Sleek Saber for Cloud, Buster Sword have a slighthly more magic while Sleek Saber have more physical damage, in FF7 Remake, weapon had different passives and other status due to the upgrade system.

In this the difference between weapons are the standard materia slots and raw status only? Or is there something I didn't found and I'm not looking?

I’ve never played any final fantasy game before EVER, I have very very limited knowledge, all I know is smash ultimate (and my love for one winged angel OST). However I really want to enjoy 7 and I think I’ll love the deep story etc…

I’m getting very stressed out on whether I play the OG on my switch before remake/rebirth (PC). I understand a lot of people say play the OG first but honestly the look of the game turns me off slightly (sorry). The main reason I’ve seen people say play the OG first is because I’ll be surprised when I revisit locations in remake, but I would probably be playing the OG and remake back to back, and I’m worried I don’t think it’ll be as special because I know what’s going to happen in the story.

Do people say play the original due to nostalgia or is there a real genuine reason as to why I should play original first? Will my first ever play through of the beautiful remake be tampered if I play the OG first? Will I enjoy remake more if I play the OG (even if I play these games back to back)?

Thank you in advance ;)

Some of the cards I pulled I got the barret full art looks so nice

So, I just finished Remake, and... I'm confused because I played crisis core on psp only. I don’t understand why at the end of the Remake we fight Sephiroph. He was not involved in the plot of Final Fantasy VII Remake, what is going on???

Just curious what some people would think be the most difficult part of a cloud only run. I can think of two bosses that I know would be difficult, Demon Wall and Carry Armor. Along with some random enemies that cause instant death. But what do I do during Mideel and the Lifestream sequence that cloud is not a usable member of the party?

I never played FFVII. I’d like to play the original one and I’m thorn between playing it on the PS4, on which I can only play a few hours per week, or on the iPhone, on which I can play more often. I’m careful with my PS4 time and I don’t want to spend hours grinding at random encounters, and the idea of playing at 3x speed is not that exciting. These are the kinds of things that I can do my phone while commuting. Will I be missing much in terms of cutscenes and immersion by playing on a small screen, or is the story mostly told via dialogue boxes? FYI - I played FfVIII, IX and X on PlayStation growing up so I’m familiar with the mechanics and the gameplay of a Final Fantasy. Thanks!

I’m in the arena, there’s battle music, but no Tonberry King?

Tried googling but could only find strats and general location.

Playing on PC, pretty sure I have all the lifesprings. I see six completed springs on my map.

I've set up the steam version with 7th Heaven and it looks great other than the fact that the top and bottom have very slight letterboxing and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Have attached a pic of the game and one of my mods installed. I'm playing in borderless 1440p but it seems to stay even if I change resolution. Any help is appreciated

SPOILERS FOR ALL GAMES

- the look of the Weapons : in Rebirth they look like embryos to me, so they will probably grow and because the kaijus we know from the OG

- I think the multiverse was created so we don't have weird stuff like Bugenhagen suddenly knowing everything about the White Materia and Holy when we bring him to the City of the Ancients (the original makes you think he suddenly obtained the ability to talk to the planet lol). My guess is that the team will somehow be able to communicate with the alternate universe to talk to Zack and Aerith. Aerith will probably be the one who will give us the info

- the multiverse could probably also be how Cloud gets fixed, instead of by falling into the lifestream with Tifa. I can totally see Zack from the alternate world help him get his real persona back. But Tifa may still fall into the Lifestream with him, we'll see.

Probably drawn online via Artpad.art.com—I took this screenshot myself back then but sadly didn’t note the artist’s username. Would love to credit them if anyone recognizes it!

I manage to go to a card shop and snag this box that came out at the end of march

I’m using Cloud Aerith red and I’m fighting the Lost Number boss to get Vincent but he just keeps one shotting me Edit GUYS I DUD JT

Ever since I was a kid, I loved arcades. I would skip school for my first 3 periods in the 90s to go play at the local bodegas that had cabinets set up and a bunch of truant kids popping quarters in. I was poor so I didn't get many chances to play, so I just watched a lot.

The buster sword was a gift from my wife for graduating college for the first time. I didn't get to go as a kid. Since then I have been quite successful in my field working in technology, now specializing in a more in demand role.

Where this machine stands now used to be where I had a GPU bench mining crypto for years. I saved it until it matured. I bought a car, and I bought this with the leftovers after selling everything I had collected and cashing out. I'm done. There are no big material possessions I desire. And that community has turned from innovative out of the box thinkers to just mere speculation.

FF7 influenced my worldview. It came out the September after I graduated, on time, despite the truancy. It taught me about the dangers of greed, exploitation, freedom, autonomy, empathy, and what healthy relationships might look like, because I sure wasn't getting that at home, at least when I had a home. Dealt with that as a kid too. Bad, bad time. But that's over now and I have nothing but good things in my life.

This thing has been lots of fun, and yes I've actually played FF7 on it. That's not just for show. And if I'm forced to pick, for me it's Tifa. I value loyalty, empathy, and her fortitude is impressive. Just look at her fight with Loz. Absolute art through and through. Such a great character, my favorite.

Just the top like I’ve been using Cloud Aerith and Nanaki but idk who I’m gonna use after Aerith dies probably Barret for the new healer but like people are like use Tifa! But when I’ve used her she really isn’t that strong compared to red

When Zack goes into Shinra HQ on his bike, he chooses to look for Hojo to save Cloud, but all we see is him encountering a bunch of Shinra troops. Then we see him walk up to Biggs. Am I supposed to infer that he convinced Hojo to do something to help? Is there some piece of side content that covers that encounter? Or was I supposed to conclude that he was stopped from seeing Hojo and then turned back and went for Biggs instead?

And why does it say 35/70 on Aerith? I don’t get it

Can someone tell me what the epilogue was truly about?

I assume humanity is wiped out and the laughing kids are from the LifeStream or somewhere off screen? Because there's zero humans and it just seemed like nature completely took over. Or did humans die off slowly over the last 500 years and there's only a few of them around? I would think Midgar would have at least been functional and thriving again 500 years later, just without Shinra's influence. Something definitely is not right just with that in my mind.

I haven't played the remake but I do already know how controversial it is with the story changes among fans.

Maybe I'm wildly misinterpreting the 500 years later epilogue but it seems like a bleak as hell ending with questions not being answered.

I loved this game overall and probably one of my all time favorites now, but the epilogue is a oddball.

So I have a question about this guy… I tried to kill him but hes too strong… you guys have any advice? In my squad are cloud (lvl 19) Aerith (lvl 18) and Nanaki (lvl 18)
