Before you decide to say I forgot something...do your research. For example, the Ribbon hidden in the Gaia Cliffs is NOT missable. Ribbons can be morphed by Tonberries for an unlimited amount.

I just beat both weapons for the first time as an adult and i feel empty knowing i finally truly beat this game

Man, I've played FF7 countless times from start to completion way back in the day and haven't played it again in a very long time -- and just by watching your video I'm reminded of the magic -- not just of the story, and everything else -- but just THAT age of videogames where since they relied on pre-rendered backgrounds, they could really go crazy and diverse when it comes to the setting. I think that's what I miss most from that time of games.

A couple things: 1. It is possible to have a unique weapon or armor equipped to Aerith and preserve it after the Demons Gate fight. Due to a map script oddity, it is possible to open the menu after the fight to unequip these during the post-temple cutscene after Sephiroth takes the black materia. If you are pressing and holding the Menu button (Triangle) when Cloud tackles Aerith, there is one frame where the menu is enabled and will be opened, allowing for Aerith's equipment to be changed and even for Great Gospel to be taught. 2. The Behemoth Horn should appear when going up the stairs in the Shinra Tower. The reason it did not was because you actually activated a glitch I call Stairs Storage in this particular playthrough. The stairs sequence is supposed to consist of nine total screens with stairs, but the game only actually has three stairs map files: one for the bottom, one for the top, and one for all of the middle screens. It just repeats the middle map seven total times, and so the game keeps a counter for how many times the middle screen has been visited, which starts at 0 when going from the bottom screen to the middle screen, and goes up by 1 each screen transition until, when it is 6, the next transition goes to the top screen instead. For some reason, this variable is saved to file, and it is not initialized when entering the bottom of the stairs. This means that, if you climb the stairs once, the middle screen counter stays at 6, and so if you were to end up at the bottom of the stairs again without going down the stairs, it's still 6, so going from the bottom to the middle screen puts you on the middle screen with the counter at 6, immediately taking you to the top screen afterwards. This probably happened because you took the stairs on your first trip up Shinra Tower back on Disc 1. As you see in that part of the video, you went up the bottom screen, went up the middle screen once, then were immediately at the top screen in much less than the normal amount of time to climb the stairs. The Behemoth Horn only spawns on the middle screen when the counter is 4, so if you have stairs storage, you effectively warp right past the screen it is on. 3. You dont need to talk to vendors before the destruction of Mideel to have access to all of the shops post-destruction, talking to them post-destruction also works. 4. The Mythril Clip is not missable in general, as it is Red's initially equipped weapon.

NICE thank you Laneface. You and 4-8 productions keep my favorite game alive

Really appreciate this video. I used to have a VHS video that was an in depth guide to everything FF7, but lost it when I was a teenager. 42 now, and everything is digital. I'm replaying on my switch. Thanks again.

25 year old game and we still can’t get over it. I can’t wait for the 40th anniversary

The mideel section and the key have been known and there is STILL a guide online by absolute steve, a 100 percent guide that I still use to this day, I believe it was written in notepad back in 2004, its the only text guide you will ever need, absolute steve was an absolute legend because back then there were no videos like this, or indeed videos !

I'm in the process of a "perfect save" attempt right now, and this is absolutely the most helpful video. basically all of your videos are. thank you.

Love the series and love your dedication to the classics. You are a gentleman of class and scholarly Levi

You mentioned getting Trine from Godo if missing out with the Materia Keeper and Stilvas. I should point out that if you DID get Trine on one of the Enemy Skill materias, DON'T equip the Enemy Skull materias that have Trine for the fight, only equip the ones that don't have it. If Trine is on even one of the ES materias Yuffie has equipped, you can't get it on the others. The game's programming dictates that the one that has it overrides the ones that don't have it and the move wont be learned.

1:30 I chose to take the ether instead of keeping the battery. This is because the battery is an item that is obtained regardless, it is not a missable item, everyone gets 3 batteries in the game whether they want to or not. On the other hand, not using the third battery to get the ether means that you left something undone in the game. Having that battery in your inventory at the end of the game only shows that you left a "chest" unopened and your game is not complete.

8:15 it should be noted the Earth Mallet cannot drop if the Gigas Armlet is stolen.

Love your videos, always learn something new about a game I still love

Outstanding job on the video! One thing to mention about the Enemy Skill Materia in general: if you have learned an Enemy Skill on one Materia and still need to learn said Enemy Skill on other Materia, it is important to NOT have that Enemy Skill Materia equipped when learning that skill on the other Materia. Other characters can have that Enemy Skill Materia equipped; just not the character that has those Materia equipped that are attempting to learn the enemy skill. Otherwise, the skill will never be learned on the other Materia. Keep up the great work! Cheers!

Love this game, hate just how many significant items can be easily and permanently missed, makes it hard not to use a guide at times

Man it’s great to see videos on my favourite final fantasy game in the series, I wonder if there’s gonna be more videos on other final fantasy games.

8:01 theres a Ribbon hidden in the same cave as the Javelin! very important and very very well hidden item, it is on the right side, after that first "bridge" just press right and you go right through the wall to get that well hidden Ribbon !

1:23 the new threat mod has a pretty elegant solution for this. Using the battery on the third box actually gives you another battery. (to Cloud's annoyance) This allows you to place every battery while still leaving you with one to keep.

thanks for that last info about yuffie's father having the trine enemy skill, i always got one of my e-skill materia less 1 star cause i never thought that fight got a chance to get that enemy skill

I have to thank you, there is one thing I didnt know that actually doesn't appear to be in ANY walkthroughs either... stealing that weapon from the basalisks. Thanks dude!

Thanks for making this I got the urge to play it again bc I never 100 percent jt and this helps a lot thank you

You can also get a four slots from the maze in shinra hq where you have to unlock doors and get coupons.

To lose the Fort Condor mini-game, you don't need to pay any unit: you can just cancel and start. CMD Grand Horn has a Vagyrisk Claw depending on the team's level, not especially the 3 first times. You can miss Pandora's Box even with ESkill equipped against Dragon Zombie. He'll TRY only once to cast it. If he failed to cast it because he ran out of MP for example, you'll never see that skill.

This is awesome! I never knew about Behemoth's Horn. I'm going to try for that next time I play through.

The lack of acknowledgement for Trine was making me really itchy the whole video until you went back to address it at the end. Accidentally missed it on quite a few playthroughs as a kid.

That is the most...unique...pronunciation of Ramuh I've ever heard. What a great video, though! I still think that Pandora's Box once per save file thing is nuts (in a cool way).

Amazing vid! Love this game so much. Bloody perfection!

Great video. I've managed to get atleast 1 of all of these items but I can't believe there are actually people who will try to get 99 of each, gotta have the patience of a saint!

Always great to watch your videos

EXCELLENT video my friend, super helpful.

I just made it to the final crater with no misables. 99 iron bangles but w-iteming the earth mallets, v claws etc. I’m so happy. Also got trine and pandora’s box on all 4 enemy skills.

What a beautiful game. So elegant, so timeless. Even with the decor in buildings and style somehow!!!

There is that weapon that I missed so hard, I never knew it existed before I played the Remake: Aerith's Bladed Staff. I did not even know we could fight against Eligor in the original game. I don't remember encontering it at all through any of my playthrough of FFVII original!

Thank God I had a guide back in the day. So many missible critical things.

The Behemoth Horn thing is a fun oddity I noticed recently as well. When climbing up during disc 2, the game skips most of the stairs due to some sort of routing bug, and you end up exiting on floor 23. The game even acknowledges you're on floor 23 when you check the elevator. When you re-enter, all the stairs reappear and you end up descending the full 60 floors like normal. Since the set of stairs with Behemoth Horn gets skipped by the bug, it doesn't show up, but will during the descent since they load correctly again. Weirdest bug ever, found it myself when playing a few years ago.

Cool stuff, Laneface! Thanks!

Played through this entire game at least 5 times in my youth. I remember about 5% of the mentions in this video. My childhood is gone 😢

I would add Coupon A, B, and C to the list since they are unique key items and the items you exchange them for can be gotten elsewhere later.

I'm saving this video to my favorites and I'll be sure to use it in my next playthrough 😋

Awesome video Laneface. Been loving your final fantasy vii content. I have a video request for your next video. You should make it a video on the date mechanics in the game I've been having a hard time trying to get points for specific characters to go to the gold saucer with me such as Yuffie and Barret, Always end up with Aerith/Aeris or Tifa. I bet you could make a great walkthrough on this.

The Vagirysk Claw is a freaking nightmare. I had a ruined save file when I was a kid because I missed that particular item. I did get everything and found basically every item by myself, but somehow I still missed it and only learned about it when I saw some sort of items list. I restarted the game all over just to get it. First got it from the Fort Condor but later leanred that you can get it from those enemies at the beaches when your level is low.

Amazing,mostly because I feel i'm not the only one that is so psycho and maniacal about this game and getting 99 of everythings and all possible item in the inventory😅thank you

First time watch....awesome video. Should do one with every learned Enemy Skill.

I finally played this game again for the first time on my phone after 20 years. Feels like i'm playing for the first time. Losing memory has it's benefits.

Hey man, just wanted to say I'm a huge FF7 enthusiast and have completed this run. I appreciated your delivery of content, the background music, clip editing. It's a good video dude, thanks and well done.

There's a ribbon at gaeas cliff that is missable, but you can just morph an enemy for a bunch of em.

There's also a miss-able ribbon in the crater mountain in the first room before you fight the two-headed dragon. It is on the second story, to the very right of the first ice ledge you walk over in that room. It's misleading because the wall to the right that represents the cave wall is totally black, but if you continue right, Cloud will pass through a hidden passage and inside is a box with a ribbon, making it the second, box-obtained ribbon that appears very shortly after you've progressed passed the first ribbon box from the Temple of Ancients in Disc 1.

13:08 - You actually have infinite time to get ready for Diamond Weapon, as once he gets close to Midgar he just stops walking.

Younger me would have loved this guide! Alas my disca broke and I was stuck on disc 2 FOREVER.... But kid me was able to snag Ifrit and Ramuh so that was good.

Great video! I have played this game many times, and quite a few of these items were new to me

Most of these I didn't know existed. I've played and finished this game so many times. Most game guides don't even have these

Word of advice for players considering a "perfect save file." Keeping the Battery means you missed a treasure. It's the same for not using Coupons A, B, and C in the Shinra Building. Also, if you really want a full inventory you will have to use glitches to duplicate Ultimate Limit Break items, which may be going too far for some people. Ultimately it depends on whether you want to collect all treasure or have every spot filled in the inventory.

The quest to get into Don Corneo's mansion includes missable key items, as not all of them are required to get in. You only require a dress and wig so if you don't get the underwear, make-up, tiara and cologne then you'll miss them permanently.

Great video, I'm doing a replay on the switch for the first time in years. I already missed both curse rings....oh well can't remember where everything is.

I remember playing this game back in the late 90s for the first time.. I couldn't beat it, no matter how hard I tried and how indepth I was with tutorials to find everything and beat the final two weapons in the game, Ruby and Emerald. I ended up getting so mad.. I broke all three Discs and never played the game for the longest while.. lol. Then, fast forward to like 2015 or 2016 and I bought the greatest hits version and eventually, beat it properly. Getting all the materia/mastered versions, beat the last two weapons, and got all the Emeny Skills maxed out.

They really knew how to put lots of secrets and Easter eggs in this game. And shops in final fantasy games like ff7 are cool for buying nice things.

I love, love, love this video. Recently when ill, I even fell asleep to it lol. Just makes me want to play and replay this game, then jump on RPG Maker VX and make my own game!

I seem to remember there being a weapon for Yuffie from the Fort Condor fights. Completely missable, and I want to say the window to get it was incredibly small.

Good video! I don't think I've ever seen the behemoth horn, that's so cruel of them to make it visible only when descending the stairs

Thanks for this video. I'm just wondering why you said to get the mythril clip from Junon when Red XIII initially comes equipped with that weapon so there is no need to buy it.?

The guide I started using about 1/3 way through has helped me with a lot of these. I always used a Game Shark for the PS1 so I had NO idea about Pandora’s Box until I acquired it last night! What a nasty programming choice. Great video, mate!

I played FFVII way back when it came out. I was surprised on the second playthrough, after having downloaded a txt strategy guide that almost ⅓ of the game's content was missable/skippable.

One thing to note about Gelnika and the Reno/Rude fight. You must fight them and steal their items before you raid Shinra HQ for the second time during disc 2. They will not be in Gelnika later on in disc 3. Something I would find out the hard way once upon a time.

Love this man!

Good vid, and thorough.

Awesome work

Dunno if they count as missable, but there are 2 items in Gold Saucer late game that can be overlooked. The first is the Ink, which can be won in the submarine game (level 1 I think), and the second one is the Flayer, a weapon for Cid, which can be won in the shooting coaster and getting 5,000 points.

FF7 is one of the few games I would go online and look for guides to get every Lost Forever.

I've always loved the ability to customise menu colours, tried loads of variants I've loved but never tried let alone seen the black to white, that goes so hard.

Laneface music always on point 👌 🎻 🎶

for your 2nd or 3rd etc playthrough. On your first playthroughs, miss all you want, they put all this stuff in the game to make it interesting, not to make it a chore.

This is a great video. Thanks

Im sorry this channel didn't kick off laneface deserved it. Thanks for great videos dude :)

you missed a few. 1. there is a monster in the train graveyard area called Eligor you can steal a striking staff from it. strongest weapon for Aries at that point of the game. 2. there is a monster called soldier 3rd in the shinra building you can steal a weapon from it called Hardedge strongest weapon for Cloud at this point of this game. 3. there is a monster called Moth Slasher in the shinra building you can steal a piece of armour called Carbon Bangle. 4. there is a monster called custom sweeper just outside Midgar you can steal a weapon from it called Atomic Scissors strongest weapon for Barret at this point of the game.

Man i can't believe i restarted this game like 37 times and never finished it. First time reaching north crate i couldnt beat Sephiroth. Then after several restarts through the years i finally got a golden chocobo and was able to collect KotR and lost interest. Another time i couldnt beat the Weapons. And you still manage to trigger my interest restarting my steam playthrough and see how far i got. I remember getting thr golden chocobo made me feel so badass last time.

I appreciate your efforts. Honestly I'm more in the camp of 'simplify your inventory as much as possible'; meaning I sell everything that is no longer my current best option. This did come back to bite me in FF9 for synthesis, but I'm usually fine operating this way.

Cool video 😁👍

Great video, thank you

If you're playing on a PS1 emulator, you can cheat the Speed Square game by making a save state right at the end of the minigame (basically a memory dump) and using a hex editor then searching for whatever number your score was at. Change it to any number under 9999 and reload the save state.

Love the black and grey background! Lol

Thank you for your videos

From what I remember, the item in the stairs is an ether when you obtain it at the beginning of the game. If you don't obtain that ether at the beginning when given a chance to take the stairs, it will still be an ether later in the game when raiding Midgar.

awesome video!!1 love this shit man , i subbed!

Recently started playing the new threat mod and its awesome. Given any thought to a playthrough on it?

I found the Behemoth Horn without prior knowledge of it existing. For whatever reason, I decided to go back down the stairs where the Behemoth Horn is supposed to be. I wasn't looking for it, and when I found it, I didn't know it was a weapon and never looked at it until months later.

I missed out on all of Yuffie and Vincent's sidequests because I didn't know about them until Disc 3. The upside was I never used Yuffie or Vincent in battle so it wasn't a huge loss but my OCD was triggered

the music here is great. what track is this?

12:23 I very specifically remember the "Tough" ring being misspelled as "Touph Ring"...the list of Mandela Effects I have with this game grows again.. it's so strange. Unless you're playing some updated version where all the typos were fixed.

I'm playing this game for the first time, in order to gain a better understanding and appreciation for FF7 Remake's changes, and I've been using a guide, so I haven't missed anything important yet. I have missed a few items from Fort Condor, which is unfortunate, but overall it's no real biggie - though, considering I just escaped from Rocket Town and got Cid, I've got plenty of time left to get what I haven't missed from the Fort.

Love the music in the vid

They may have removed it from re-releases of the game but there's a second ribbon you can get at Gaea's Cliff in a hidden room that has no indicator that it's even there, you just run along a wall on the right side of the screen and it's in a chest in a hidden pocket room.

I'm about to get the remaster edition for switch, thanks for the video

Verdammt gut danke!

thought this said miserable items and honestly that still works for the topic

There's a ribbon that's in an off screen cave in the gaia cliffs. I'm surprised you didn't include that since there are a limited number of those you can get

thanks for the video

I remember once doing a playthrough and I got Aeris's Final limit, it was kind of fun to have grand guard, and when i got the princess guard I equipped it. Otherwise I don't like using her it just takes levels from someone you get to keep.

You can get four slots from the coupon exchange in the shinra hq as well

Well, you can miss any or all of the four Huge Materia. Granted, they're not long-term inventory items, Bahamut Zero can be dug up in the Bone Village, and there's another way to get the Master Materia, but... you can only get ONE set of Master Materia without them. With them, you can theoretically get infinite Master Materia.
