General Discussion / FF7r - Reviving the old rumors

« on: 2015-07-07 23:15:41 »

Back in 1997, being suckered by the FF7 rumors were a lot of fun. 

We've all heard them - from recruiting Boxer the Goblin, breeding the Silver Chocobo to recruiting Sephiroth - we all had a friend who's brother's sister's cousin's older brother knew how to collect all 12 1/35 soldiers which could be displayed at your villa.

It would be great fan service if FF7R treated us with the option of completing the greatest final fantasy myth of all time: the sidequest to revive Aerith. 

This mythical sidequest would only appear after you finished the game - allowing you to earn an alternate ending on your second time around.  Now I know her death is integral to the story and I don't wish to change cannon (canon) - just have some fun and funny fan service. 

This sidequest would have to be complex: somehow include those pesky 1/35 soldiers, perhaps include some help from the sick guy in the sewer, acquire Seto's tears, attack the Turquois Weapon, etc.   

If you're feeling nostalgic and perhaps had enough of critiquing whether or not the Remake will be bad, good, turn based, whatever, please humor this old FF7 player and chime in with a rumor/myth you'd like to see included in FF7R.

PS - bonus points if you discuss tying in something about Genesis (again not if including him would be good for the game or not) - perhaps he is the guardian of holy materia that Aerith would have to fight to unlock it... I don't know.  Just talking and having fun with old rumors.   

Thx everyone for your thoughts,

M

General Discussion / New sub forum for FF7R/R?

« on: 2012-08-17 01:49:39 »

Hi Qhimm Team,

For organizational purposes would it make sense to make a new subforum focusing on ff7rerelease patches / mods / etc.?

General Discussion / Over analyzing everything FF7 - when did Cloud leave behind the Buster Sword?

« on: 2011-03-31 15:37:26 »

Over analyzing everything FF7

While over dosing on coffee to prepare for a major negation (which has been unexpectedly delayed),  I find it best use of my time to open a discussion about FF7. Yes I have closed my office door in fear a co-worker looks to read this…

I think it has been about a decade since my latest post however, I cannot help but come to this forum from time to time to get the latest scoop on a FF7 remake rumor / mod / whatever.   If there are other ancients remaining here (no pun intended), than like me you have played FF7 far too often since ’97 and dipped into the compilation (DofC, Last Order, CC, ACC, ) despite your best efforts to grow up and resist. Lastly, I have read the Letters but only by skimming and may have missed the answer to my question below.

This is a ridiculous question but I am curious to know your thoughts.  Only the obsessed and those who enjoy overanalyzing may answer.   

When do you think Cloud first inserted the Buster Sword into the ground as a monument to Zack?

Most likely answer: After facing Seph in Northern Creator and before running into Denzel.  After the realization at Midel (sp?) with Tifa, Cloud had to save the planet and didn’t have time to focus on closing a few of his issues immediately.  After taking out Seph, I’m sure Cloud returned to Midgar to [insert letter to Denzel here – recall I only skimmed this story and the answer may be here].

As a different scenario - -  How about the first time Cloud left Midgar with the Avalanche gang, right after the flashback…  situational speaking, would this make sense? 

Please hear me out.

After Cloud tells the Avalanche gang about his story regarding him and Seph, I wonder if Cloud realized there were gaps, inconsistencies and overlap in what he was saying.  If a part of his physc knew that he was lying about the past, would he instinctively leave behind the Buster out of remorse?  Perhaps he wouldn’t know why it would make sense to leave it behind, but that it did.  As a side note, I cannot remember why Tifa did not speak out at that time and say: Cloud, I do not remember seeing you 5 years ago in nimbleheim. I think you are a crazy person…  While I’m sure it was a wild ride for Tifa to jump into the lifestream with Cloud to rebuild him in Midel, it could have been done over a simple discussion right then and there…

Also, recall Cloud buys the hardedge (name?)  in Klam, right next to the site where Zack falls, did Cloud hold onto the Buster the entire time like Angeal or did he toss it to the side when purchasing the new sword? Please discount that the Buster cannot be sold and can be re-equipped at any time in the game...  I do not think this is relevant however if you disagree please state why.   

Okay back to work - If you survived reading my geekish rant, much appreciated.

PS – square.enix, produce a bloody FF7 remake

General Discussion / Tifa's long lost friend - whoops - possible spoilers

« on: 2004-06-02 19:56:43 »

Has anyone ever figured out the story behind the red headed guy that keeps popping up during the first cd at midgar?  

You see him a few times, first is when he decides to leave his home at midgar which is beside tifas bar right at the beginning of game play.

Then again on the train before the train goes to alert and lock down due to jessie wanting to make you some 'special' id

Again at honey bee strip club and arieth gives him a flower and a gil!

ummm, you see him feaking out before you run up the pillar before it collapses. and i think you see him at kalm

oh yea, then again at costa del sol when you want to get a place to spend the night.

everytime you try to talk to him, he keeps mentioning how you're childhood friends, and dislikes you very much

Does anybody have any idea who im talking about, and if so, do you know anything more about him?

General Discussion / FF7 - Saved Games

« on: 2003-08-27 00:00:52 »

I was wondering I anyone could send me or point me in the direction of a saved game at the 3rd CD with all of the sub quests finished, Huge Materia Quests sucessfuly completed ie - getting the grey sub and not letting Coral get demolished, have the north creater already checked out - have all the paradise flyers found and finally have a golden chocobo bred

it might sound pathetic, but  I have yet found a saved game that meets these standards.  what is probably more pathetic is that im just to lazy to just finish the game myself.

but any help would be appreciated
