I know of at least one other way to keep Aeris in your party post-death that doesn't involve a Gameshark at all; but it's a little weird. Here's a brief summary of what you do. Requirements A copy of FF VII with a save pre-Gold Saucer date. A copy of Saga Frontier by Squaresoft, released...

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who was disappointed with Advent Children. -_- It would be nice if Squeenix could redeem themselves. Back during the PS1 years, it seemed that they could do no wrong. Even their weaker titles were still some of the best games you could buy. That says a...

Agreed. It would be cool if the models had battle damage, dirty faces, and other stuff that just looks really gritty. Then, have the materia in their weapons and armor be clearly visible. That might be tricky to code, but it should be possible to create a system that marks the "slots" in weapons...

Thank you El Diablo Gato. You flatter me. :joy: I really do love FF VII. I still to this day believe it to be the greatest game ever made; and I've played a ton of them (especially with the advent of Emulators allowing us to play tons of retro games you can't find the cartridges for, or some...

Having played and loved the original Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together; I must now get the PSP version for sake of my life if it is truly that wonderful. :D

I just finished replaying through Cosmo Canyon, and after hearing it from the word of grandpa floats, the body doesn't. Quite literally, according to the actual FF VII game, your body does not dissolve into the Lifestream. Your soul does. Your soul enters the Lifestream; while your body returns...

I just meant that his villainy isn't what I call "comically evil". Y'know, evil for evil's sake. Kefka springs to mind from FF VI. He was a douche, and obviously evil, and seemingly evil just because he liked being evil. He knew he was evil, and that seemed to amuse him. Just doesn't really feel...

I really should check out these books everyone is talking about, like Maiden Who Traveled The Planet. Sounds like good stuff. Aeris is probably tied for 3rd in my lineup with Sephiroth, closely followed by Barret (I just really like Barret). I actually had literal nightmares as a result of...

Heheh, nice. The only concern I'd have is what you'd do when you had to face a boss? I mean, the bosses aren't affected by Enemy-Away, because they're not random encounters. Would you really want to end up fighting the giant robo-guards on the elevator using nothing but physical attacks from...

I hope you enjoyed it. I was trying to be helpful. ;) The map that Prince Lex is referring to is this one: Inside here you can find groups of enemies like the ones I mentioned before. This is the Junon side of the mithral mines, but has similar encounters to the eastern side of the cave. I...

Lookout! This isn't just a post!: This post is pretty long. I'm going to break it into sub-sections so that people don't get burnt out reading it. When you're ready to continue, just scroll down. TL;DR is an automatic failure. You'll never see the ending that way! I'm confused by this...

Well traditionally Aeris is wearing her hair in a braid. In the scene where she is at Don's, and later during her watery end, her hair is not in a braid. Seems simple enough to me. Anyone who has ever braided hair, had their hair braided, or knew someone who had their hair braided, knows it...

I think a lot of us (at least I know I do) fear what Square Enix would do to FF-VII. Unlike the 2d NES/SNES and their latter remakes, Final Fantasy VII kind of broke some molds as far as gaming was concerned. Around the time it was released, and some time thereafter, Squaresoft (notice I didn't...

I've just recently began a new playthrough, and I'm in Cosmo Canyon. I do meticulously talk to everyone; especially since I haven't played in a while. I freshly recall that there is a lot of division between opinions on the Shinra/Avalanche situation; both before and after Sector 7's destruction...

Before I reached Junon in my recent playthrough, I had all possible limits on Cloud, Tifa, Barret, and Yuffie (wasn't bothering with Aeris since her limits don't matter, and Nanaki isn't really a concern of mine at the moment). Here are some locations that I found were exceptionally good for...
