Is there a way to get rid of items? I have 99 omnislashes and cant get rid of them, which seems to result in me not being able to enter the special battle in the battle arena to get the Final Attack materia.

Final attack + phoenix?
Final attack + life 2?

so mastering both final attack and pheonix is a must? i doubt he will only cast it once..

How are you supposed to beat KOTR? I kill him so many times until he uses Vagrant on everyone for 30000 damage, instantly killing everyone.

Cloud starts with more kills to make his buster sword do normal damage. I changed the damage formula on it. Meaning if you convert back to normal mode he'll get  blade beam and metoerain right away.

I don't know why your Cloud does not learn it in hard mod though. It should work like normal. Do you combine this mod with other which alter the kernel?

I have heard it many times before but i still don't have a clue what a kernel is, so couldn't tell you lol.
I had a few mods selected on the bootleg install so maybe one of the messed with my game. It seemed that the limit breaks were literally stuck, because i tried loading the game on Normal (without getting into a fight) save and then reload on Hardcore, and i got both limit breaks after killing one enemy. I know I wasn't literally 1 enemy away from getting any limit break because i had more fights a while ago without saving.

Anyway, its not a problem anymore so not too worried, seemed like it was quite a unique fault.

I was so annoyed when I realized you had majorly debuffed Mighty Guard, but after a while I realized how stupidly overpowered that enemy skill was to begin with. I'm glad i didn't know how to get it the first time i played FF7.

Thanks! If you remember how difficult it was originally, it should be pretty self evident that it's harder. You may encounter a new enemy I made in a random battle before the guard scorpion. It's name is robot.

Thank you, it was indeed on normal difficulty, I would have noticed straight away had it been on Hardcore It is not an issue anymore however as everything that i had problems with before now works using the bootloader, so I am playing on hardcore.

I am currently up to the Gold Saucer and enjoying the new difficulty immensely. I only have 1 minor gripe so far, and that is the erratic difficulty spikes (the first Jenova fight for example), but i was so happy when i managed to beat it (using all my ethers and bolt plumes etc in the process though). Nothing I can complain about, it's a mod made by 1 guy giving it out for free (and doing a fantastic job at that), so i am very grateful!

I am wondering, did you change the kill counts for learning new limit levels? It seems no matter how many enemies Cloud finishes off, he just won't learn Blade Beam, while my Tifa and Red XIII have already learnt their 4th limit breaks quite a while back. I think originally it is 80 or 120 kills with Cloud before he learns Blade Beam, I am pretty sure I have killed way more than that (i was level 24 when i started trying and am now level 33).
Did you change anything related to that?
I am using Ifrit on Cloud to finish off the monsters outside the Gold Saucer in one go. I checked on websites and everyone says that Summons DO count towards the kill count but i am starting to have doubts.

UPDATE!!!!!! Just to check if something was wrong, I switched back to normal mode for 1 fight to see if it was bugged. And guess what, i got both Blade Beam and Meteorain by just killing one enemy, without even first getting Climhazzard, so there must of been some kind of bug in the game.

Hey gjoerulv, first of all, amazing work on this mod! FF7 is probably my favorite FF game but always wished it was a little harder.
I've just started using the bootleg and finally got everything to work. But because i have to run FF7 through the FF7Music application (otherwise the music mods from finalfantim don't seem to work) i am unsure if my game is actually currently in hardcore mode.
Is there any definite way to tell in the early stages of the game if it is indeed the hardcore mode? any specific enemies that do something completely different? I know you said you didn't up the difficulty very much at the beginning, but would love for a way to tell if it's actually working.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks zentost that seems to have fixed my problem!
Do the other mods work with this method though? I mean will i still be able to play on hardcore mode and all that even if i run the game through the FF7Music application?

Did you configure the sound device?

Q:Why is there no sound in the game?  Why is the music playing from a different sound device than the game sounds?
A:You need to configure the sound and/or MIDI device.
  Run .\FF7Config.exe as Administrator
  In the SOUND tab, select the 'Sound Driver'
  In the MIDI tab, select the 'MIDI Driver' and the 'MIDI Data'
  Click OK to save the settings
  Open the Volume Mixer
  Adjust the volume for the playback device, applications and FF7 executable

Yep done all that. :/

Solved Problems / FF7 bootleg no music (OSTre).

« on: 2012-09-23 17:58:50 »

Hi all I am new to this forum.

My FF7 using bootleg seems to run fine except there is no music once it gets passed the opening FMV. The sound effects are all still there, just no music.
I am trying to use the OSTRemastered soundtrack.
I have tried all the mentioned fixes (that i have found) for this, including changing the path file name in the .ini file within the ficedula folder, but no luck.

I have all the necessary mods as i downloaded the full 20gb torrent and everything in the mod list was green and yellow.

Something I should mention, my bootleg install of FF7 went a little different to the guide. The FF7 music install menu for either PSF or OSTRemastered didnt show up automatically, but it DID seem to install it as all the music files are in the OSTRe folder. Just to make sure, I ran the installer manually (the game doesn't play the music either way). I did everything else as stated in the guide.

I didn't select too much in BFE. I selected finalfantim (which confused me but seems to be the same thing as OSTRe), a texture update (Bootlegged, and Mike's Flame V2 for limit texture), Mode Switching - All Mods (before I reinstalled from scratch i had Gjoerulv's hardcore mode selected, none of these two options had any effect on my situation), Rumbah 1280 Smooth cutscenes, and some menu overhauls.

I just can't for the life of me get any music to play at all. Music loads fine in FMVs and preludes but not during actual gameplay (including battles).

I am running:
Windows 7 64bit
ATI Radeon 4800 series

I was really excited to play this game with a remastered soundtrack and harder difficulty mode so any help is greatly appreciated!!
