Would never know cause I never use her, even during her lead charecter part I work fast to get rid of her.

You can do this in Remake too - he is talking to the Shinra troops

In the current FF7 speedrun any% no slots category they manipulate the Materia Keeper boss in Nibelheim into gaining lucky 7s to kill it instantly from one tick of poison. I'ts pretty cool and worth checking out!

Exactly my thought. I didn't know enemies could get it, nor did I know Barret's score could be increased infinitely with that exploit. All the rest, though, I knew.

Are you quoting your own statement?

This happened to me too

@@hyruleguy9569 Holy crap, it's been 6 years since I posted that? It doesn't feel that long at all.

lol was thinking the same thing

Yeah, this top 7 should be more like : 1. Game story is based on proto-Xenogears script made by T2 (that was used also in Chrono Trigger), Parasite Eve novel and Sakaguchi own script. 2. There is only ONE source of HOLY elemental dmg in the game that player can do - Alexander, you can use it with elemental materia to add that element to weapon. Other VERY rare element is WIND from choco/Mog. 3. All luckies 7's works on all dmg player do durring status. It meant if you use Revive +all or even W-item Phoenix down, revived party members will come back with 7777HP and the status, although that sepcial 64-hit x 7777 dmg attack can be proc only ONCE PER BATTLE. 4. Safer-Sephiroth was designed that way to be more a challange. Fun fact is that his ultimate spell - Super Nova can't kill team and is HP based, also in Japan original ver of FF7 animation was WAAAAAYYYY shorter. 5. One each floor of Witai Pagoda you can see a kanji fighting floor, that represent different virtues of a warror also despite all fight seems to be take place in same place, that kanji carries over from field to battle screen. That meens Square did 5 different battle screens just for that. 6. WAAAYYY less known fact is..... if you will get enough points for Tifa, the dialogue durring her and Cloud sceene at the end of disc 2 changes. While they are alone under Highwind, she will say smth way different to Cloud that imply ....they will have sex. No joke. Tifa

The only new thing for me was the Sakaguchi portrait. If you want to discover really deep hidden stuff, check out some of GarlandTheGreat videos about FF VII. He does FF VII challenges and it's where all nitty-gritty mechanics of FF VII really comes out. On top of my head a few notable ones: the red submarine, materia keeper lucky 7 poison kill, carry armor LLNMNI challenge... He's basically got all the weird things about FF VII covered.

Yeah I would say Choco/Mog having a second attack is far more rare.

Mitchell Peterson "imma cut a damn boss... What the fuck!?" >99% of ffvii players

I don't think there is a lot to be told other than what is explored in Dirge of Cerberus. Unless you want some big stretch with never before mentioned characters like in Crisis Core. I would like to see how the Turks defeated Jenova 200 years before the story started though.

Great idea!

Jenova came summoned meteor and wiped most of them out. As it says in the game.

Everyone who loves FF VII should look up Frank Verserosa's FF VII fan fiction series on line. As fan fics go, it's easily the best I've ever read, though not exactly professional quality work. But still, it is so good and interesting that I consider it to be the true sequels to the game. The ideas you're talking about don't come up until a few books in, but trust me it's worth it.

that would be about as sad as playing crisis core was cause you'd already know starting out that any efforts against jenova were doomed at the start and that the world, as your charicters knew it, was gonna end...nah id be more intersted in a sequal in the 'revived' world mabe even with one of Naniki [red 13]'s cubs as the main charicter....a fur can dream.

Damn so that leads to death

Poison doesn't care who put it on you. In fact, getting Materia Keeper to 7777 while poisoned was a big part of certain speedruns for a while.

I knew all of them except the picture, but I was aware of all the others MUCH earlier than when I became aware of Lucky 7s affecting enemies. I probably wouldn't've known about it, were it not for a challenge run strategy for Materia Keeper that abuses this fact (specifically in relation to Poison damage).

I played FF2 on SNES and got hooked on the series. Then played FF3 and was like "WOW!" Then came FF7 and I was like "WOWWOWWOWWOWWOW!!!!!" Truth is they are all still great games! I think starting in the series earlier gave me more appreciation for FF7.

Shred Head Same here, except I played FF 1 and was like...meh.

I played FF1 first when I was very very very young. I got NES in 1st grade. I was born in '84, so I might have been like 6 when I played it. I did not understand how to play it, so I don't think I got anywhere in it. Later when I played FF2 on SNES I really got into the series. FF3 just floored me though.

Shred Head I’m 83, so I’m just ahead of you. I think being so young might be one of the reasons I didnt enjoy it. But i played the remake on psp and didn’t see anything special either. Of course, it’s hard to play 1 after 4 and 7. I had the same problem with GTA 3. I didnt play it until after San Andreas and Vice City and I thought 3 was an overrated hunk of shit.

Real properly gay.

You can also do the same thing with Barret in Cosmo Canyon

@@averageplayers5288 yes... That was in the video... 🤔

Sashi I made the comment before watching the video

@Hydra ....

@Hydra Obviously it's Yuffie

Thanks, I never knew that game so certainly never noticed the poster for it. It was Icicle Inn, by the way, unless there are two (I youtubed it).

learn enemy skills big guard and white wind and be level 65, should be easy after that, final attack combined with phoenix summon doesn't hurt, but its not needed to win

He said beat it, not side quests

DJ Contra has it right. Big Guard and White Wind on the E. Skill materia are your friends.

First time I beat it I used w/item and megalixir combo to get 99 megalixirs.

Too bad its so easy I'm not a rpg guy and even I could beat with almost never dying

Wait till you discover the crazy materia combos

Yeah, that's confusing.

Same.

I think we all did when we first played ff7 actually i cried then threw my controller at my tv i was pissed when aeris died and i was sad too

I was so confused, I kept thinking it's a trick she can't really be dead. Truly an amazing moment in the game

My most emotional moments were Red's dad story and at the temple with the cat. I al ready knew Aeris dies so I was prepared.

@@ezarrgames3108 aeris was more emotional no offense

Jon Dowe NPI thought he pronounced it nobrew unatsu

That's racist. 🤣

I wonder if it's possible to throw a few mana potions at the zombie dragons. Would be a good way to guarantee a cast if you can

I never really had a problem getting Pandora's Box. Usually, by the time I encounter the Dragon Zombie I've got all 4 Enemy Skill material on my current party, anyway. And I don't recall ever having a Dragon Zombie try to cast it without enough MP. It's usually the first thing the first one uses against me. my biggest problem is typically surviving to win the battle, but that's what Final Attack-Phoenix is for, right?

or just equipping all your enemy skill ,materia on one party member, they dont have to survive XD

The Materia system is a gem of game mechanics. Enemy Skill was OP as hell Mastered out.

you don't need to manipulate it, you just kill it and it will use the attack. It's similar to what happens to the "Final Attack" materia. But, as the guy from the video said, the dragon has to have enough MP or it will not happen.

Simone Nuzzolese THANK YOU

Meh, I've always said it that way, and probably always will. Pre-voice acting characters spent far too long in the wild, so are always fair game for pronunciations :D. ~Darryl

Its not YAFFY. He said it was YUHffie :DDD but idc

It’s weird how a lot of KZfaqrs say it wrong. They pronounce it like it’s toughfie and replace the t with a y. And that dark kefka guy gets mad when people correct him and yells about how it’s not spelled Yooffie lol. I get how people can get attached to the way they say things though. For me it’s Tiedus and can’t be Teadus because of how sissyfied it sounds, but Teadus is the correct way to say Tidus.

It's cool

yeah i thought it was normal when i got it first try...

yeah, i thought it was pretty obvious.

Plus, I never really thought of "Zantetsuken" to be the name of the attack. I always assumed they were just naming the weapon he used. Like, when you lose Odin in FF8, he's replaced with Gilgamesh, who uses attacks called "Excalibur," "Excalipoor," "Masamune," and "Zantetsuken." Then in FF7 you have Gunge Lance,

purplefreak3 I think the secret is why he has two attacks. I could be wrong though.

Seriuosly. Summons cost so much MP I tended to only use them on boss enemies and other enemies that are immune to instant KO. I'm much more used to seeing the spear than the sword.

Matt Morgan I'm the same way. Unless I've been hit with status effects and I have no choice.

It could be anyone really

The picture of the the guy I one of the houses in rocket town is the music writer for the game.

It was confirmed by the devs.

n1fffan 😔

Knew/didnt knew exactly the same as you. 🤔

Oh good i wasn't the only one who realised how much horror it would be if an enemy got lucky 7s on your party. Imagine that happening before youtube? No one would believe you.

Lucky 7's doesn't quite work the same way for enemies. They only get the "all attacks do 7777 damage" part; not the "unleash 64 attacks non-stop" part. Which, mind you, could still be pretty dangerous.

Me too. That's the thing I'm going to miss most about the remake...T_T #RIPWItemGlitch

That was an awesome and surprisingly stable glitch.

Why? Everyone knows about that by now.

I knew.

Hey me too

I really do hope it happens. And although turn based battle systems would bring a more nostalgic feel to it. You also have to realize they want to bring in younger fans to the game. And we all know kids today probably wouldn't have the patience to set up their materia and wait their turn. At least I know my kids would give up after the first hour or two. I have the game on the ps3 and although my kids love the story. They watched Advent Children. And the Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core cut scene KZfaq movies. They have watched me play the game and almost immediately scoffed at my suggestion to try it.

Final Fantasy... Final

@ATXK Yep, the new Pokemon games, Persona and New Super Mario Bros series are not relevant in the modern age.

Pokemon is still popular and its turn based! honestly i wish they'd make a hard version of pokemon. i don't understand why they think a turn based rpg wouldn't be popular. maybe the reason Final Fantasy hasn't had the as good sales numbers is because they AREN'T turn based. i haven't bought a final fantasy game after the 10 series because they aren't turn based. they're my favorite kind of game, 2nd is turn based strategy games. i'm still going to get the remake soley because it's my favorite game ever. but damn its disappointing that they won't make it turn based. millions of people buy 2d games on their phones, millions of people play pokemon. and who knows, making ff7 remake turn based might reignite the genre.

Your a pussy.

Can you still do the entire side quest?

You've used your luck for your entire life

It depends on the context. For your reference though, since you brought it up, both the Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries list the primarily definition of factoid as "A brief or trivial item of news or information." :) ~Darryl

Oh.

While we're on it, the phrase "all but" doesn't mean what most ppl use it as either. FFXV for example; Ignis constantly says "all but" and always in the wrong way. "That cave is all but full of enemies" means "that cave has no enemies but a lot of other stuff", it does not mean "yes i agree that cave must have lots of enemies". It means literally the opposite of how everybody uses it.

Daniel Escobar what's the second attack and how do you proc it? I was looking for a comment like this, I remember reading about it and never getting it to occur way on back in the 90s

I have not seen or heard of this...

@@enkidude no one knows because that summon sucked, it was triggered by enemy status, it was elemental

Steve Ozone it’s one of my favorites as well. People don’t have the love for that game that it deserves.

Don Powers agreed 8 & 10 were best in my opinion

Butt stank you're 100% correct, the entire plot stops making any sense after the 2nd disc, but boy i still love that damn game

I'm not sure why either. Ha. To each their own. That game does have some excellent music and really fun limit break, though! So there's definitely that!

Ff8 was the most underrated and deepest story ever. Over most peoples heads even if you consider the last 3 disks were a death dream.

Anthony Lankford Be careful what you wish for, rushing is the bane of games development. I'd rather them delay the release so they can iron out flaws, rather than having them rush and have the game possibly have a game-breaking flaw.

Martin Smith WRONG. The Last Guardian was never rushed. Still sucked balls

Martin Smith I agree with you. Like I was a kid we had to wait five years for Mario bros 3 but that games is still one of the best games ever.

Martin Smith my problem is that the announcement was originally for a "remaster" which shouldn't have taken as long as it did for square to change lanes and decide to remake the game from the ground up 3 years after announcing the remaster square announced it was a full remake and they had to restart the project.....this is duke nukem all over again.

MrPandarilla no. They announced remake from the start. It was never ment to be remaster. Watch the anouncement if You don't remember it.

Not true.

Ostang Vulkahn and it should’ve been

True, Takahashi submitted a script for what would become Xenogears as a possible FF7 project. It was rejected for being "too dark". Xenogears ended up being developed at the same time as Final Fantasy 8. The development of FF8 went over budget, and the Xenogears project was told to cut corners in order to compensate. This led to the severely "abridged" Disc 2 of Xenogears. Blame Squall and company for what happened to Xenogears, a game that could have been their greatest masterpiece of all time. EDIT: Interesting aside, Cloud DOES foreshadow Xenogears in FFVII. When he's incapacitated and wheelchair-bound in Mideel, Cloud will mumble seemingly random crap when you attempt to talk to him. He mentions something about "A billion mirror fragments.....small.....light.....taken.....angel's.....singing voices.....zeno.....gias....."

No one cares about FFVIII

Hey Matt. No offence taken! Often I find that people might be aware of things, but perhaps not the background behind them. So, the purpose of my videos is often to get quite granular, as opposed to being very top-level, to provide additional insights and information around familiar topics. Hope that makes sense! ~Darryl

The channel gets more money for longer videos. 10 minutes seems to be a big benchmark - if you get people to spend 10 minutes watching your video youtube's algorithm helps out a lot. It's why there's a lot of watered down content out there these days.

i knew about the 7777 status, never did it, but i didn't know that you could get it if you land on 7777 hp, thought you had to have a max hp of 7777, and full health. I also didn't know enemies could get it, nor did i know that it only attacks 64 times. I prefer that it's not drawn out for the sake of drawing it out, but actually going deeper into the information presented.

Bjorick, for the lucky 7's, I read that people would use gameshark to manually set everyone's max HP to 7777 so whenever they entered into a fight at full health, they'll start at lucky 7 status.

Matt Trent nice critic without offending

None!

She originally wasn't planned to be optional, and wutai was going to have a bit more impact on the story, but was scrapped (I believe due to time constraints) makes sense that they'd already have the assets for the scene in the game and simply not remove it

Yuffie is also underaged :^)

It's fun to make up stories

Icecl Keyheart lol got it on my phone

Icecl Keyheart play it in the 3x mode it helps a whole lot. I forgot how many dialog balloons there was in this game.

Anthony Lankford i beat a week after i bought it. I didnt use x3 to speed up dialog boxes though i dont mind them. I used it a bit to grind tho or to backtrack

I got it on PC and phone, and now reading this comment I just made me wanna purchase it on PS4 xD

I still have my ps1 version, the saves on my memory card, and for some reason both model of ps1's (one, the original grey one I got boxed whilst installing a tv/satellite system in a block of flats, in a communal tank room that a crazy person had been hoarding stuff in for years, and it was all gonna be binned)

If you get Safer Sephiroth over 130,000 HP then it is impossible for Knights of the Round to OHKO. This counts for as well Bizarro-Sephiroth (Max of 140,000). Still is an easy fight, but the little factor nuances can definitely be noticed based on a player's styles.

Which is why I never get or at least use KOTR in the final boss battles. It takes away all the fun and the challenge of using the skills you've built up throughout the game to survive and take down such a strong opponent. Nerfing the final boss is not my idea of a good time.

just getting knights of the round is an accomplishment on its own,to actually use it other than to see it once,is just useless and pointless,and pretty boring,mostly used by people who just dont care too much about thinking or having any challenge in the game

It's good for some of the post-end-game bosses. But yeah, not really supposed to need it for Sephiroth. FF and other RPGs tend to have end-game curves like this, such as in X where you can get the ultimate weapons which are hilariously overpowered and will kill anything except the toughest stuff by merely breathing on it. But they're fairly out of the way so you're unlikely to get them in the main story. And don't even get me started about Snapdragon on Tactics Ogre. Such a shame because it was a cool mechanic. But I digress.

The Lemming well according to this vid you should use it on Jenova Synthesis to make the battles afterward more challenging even if you wont use it on Sephy himself.

Darlemonte Who gives a shit, Yoofie sounds dumb and terrible. Yuffie is a way better pronunciation

Tis a subjective matter. But, doesn't matter. The actual pronounciation is yoo-fee. yuh-fee sounds terrible and hits the ears like nails on a chalk board.

Darlemonte "It's subjective but your opinion doesn't matter because my opinion matters." Ok, little guy. Whatever makes you feel better.

Tis subjective because how something sounds to an individual is in fact, subjective. Person1: Ounce sounds better than liter. Person2: Nah, liter sounds better than ounce. Your personal taste, is completely subjective no matter what the context is. Another simple example. Person1: White chocolate tastes awesome. Person2: Eh, I prefer milk chocolate. My opinion is mine, and yours is yours. You took the statement the way you perceived it. Possibly too much internet bud.

I get triggered by most Brits' pronunciations (butchering) of things. He said "chocko" quite a few times, too. Chocobo should not be mispronounced at this point considering how many games have spoken it aloud. But who the eff cares when there are other famous video game characters like Super MERRY-OH? XD
