Compilation of FF VII General Chat

Ok. The old discussion is now in the general FF board. This one will be for Final Fantasy VII, and the other games in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII.

So, did anyone ever play DoC: Lost Episode? I don't know if we got it in the UK

Lost episode? what is it on?

Probably the PS2 or the PS3. Although I've only heard a few mentions of the game in the past. I haven't tried out the first Dirge of Cerberus yet.

It was for the mobile

Nope, definately haven't played it then. By the way, has anyone ever played the Final Fantasy VII Snowboarding game for the mobile?

Nope. I haven't. I don't play many mobile games to be honest.

...Wow, this topic is really taking off >_>

Never played any new ones... I probably get Crisis Core.

Hmm. Looks like my attempt at a discussion flew out the window then .

Well it's hard to discuss a game that been out for 11 years. lol

So how did you guys get into the series then? How did you hear about it?

Well, I was bored with VIII back then in 2006, so I decided to try VII out.

I got a demo for it... then I got it around '99, but I sucked at it. I got beter.

But I'm so mad that I can't get past the rope car because once the screen goes black, it doesn't go back to anything.

I'll just play tactics until I get a new 7.

Yay, I just got the hub spot today.

To see if I can get more people to post here...

My dad's friend had the game back in 1998/99 (can't remember). Anyway, he lent the game to me because he couldn't figure out how to get into the No.1 Mako Reactor. I managed to figure it out (you had to talk to Biggs and Jessie so they could enter to pass codes) after about a week (as I was playing the game on a relatively small TV at the time and I didn't realise that pressing O would enable you to talk to people, as I had never played an RPG or anything of the sort before and I was used to conversations being automatically initiated once whoever you have to talk to is approached).

We didn't see my dad's friend for a couple of months after that, and by the time we did I was well over halfway through the game (looking for the Key to the Ancients) and I forgot to take the game with me when we visited. My dad's friend then said I could keep the game.

Lol. Nice. Just like that.

In 1997, me and my friend went to a game shop, and he was going to buy two random games to try. He got this and Johnny Bazookatone. So the first time I saw it was watching him. Of course, my friend had his strange sense of humour, so we named the characters silly names (Barret = Hairy Ballsack etc.)

He got stuck on the first boss (thanks to the engrish dialogue). So much for that.

hmm was very very tempted too to change the names to daft things..but i was thinking MR T. for Barrat not hairy ballsack..lol

ive just started playing this game for the first time now, i dont care about the graphics, this game is fab!!

Actually, in Advent Children, Barret was actually portrayed as a similar character to Mr. T.

That's true. The Japanese tend to idolise a lot of western characters (eg Solid Snake of Metal Gear was modeled off of Snake Plisskin of Escape From New York/LA)

You can basically guarantee that any Japanese-created characters without ridiculous hairstyles are based after Western characters.

Does Solid Snake have an eye-patch too? I can't remember.

So, have you seen Final Fantasy: Advent Children?

im going to watch Advent Children for the 1st time soon. Its not sold where i live!

Looking forward to that..although it will spoil the game for me.

It does make some referances to the game but it's set 2 years after the game so there aren't many spoilers.

Nah, but his father Naked Snake (Big Boss, who looks identical) does. In MGS2, he fakes his name, and calls himself Iroquis Pliskin. Hideo Kojima admitted the influence.

Yeah, I saw the movie. It's pretty good. Much better than that horrendous The Spirits Within
