Post by: ultima espio on 2010-07-10 15:58:41

Its rather interesting how much stuff has been changed since they released FFVII the first time.

The long-time rumored Test 0.  Hehe......

**I think you can post it on 'General', since it's related to FF7.

I personally think that a lot of new stuff will pop up if they reverse engineer the
"Square Extra Preview No. 5" and the other Demo.

Read the description.  Some test/debug battles are different between original Japanese version and later versions(look at the awesome battle background).  Also there's once rumored Test 0, which can be encountered at certain place without using cheat codes(I mean, cheat devices) in original version.

I've done that with the sampler disc and there's just the necessary data for the demo to work. Moreover, the demo uses KERNEL.BIN to store all the enemy data (IIRC, there's no SCENE.BIN) and item strings are fixed length instead of pointer-based.

This is the same version that had the hidden rooms for the Honey bee inn. In theory, you could actually restore those levels....

I believe that Tsetra is (or was) working on doing just that. I for one think it would be great to see all of those unused scenes (not just the Honeybee Inn ones); a lot of character development seems to be skipped for the minor characters like Jessie and I'd like to see it back.

Post by: ultima espio on 2010-07-14 14:47:42
I'll have a look for that. I'm interested in those missing scenes, i'll have to see if i can get a hold of that version.

How simple would it be to insert that battle background to replace the blank background on the pyramid battles?

Maybe when Team Avalanche finishes everything else they could whip up a new snazzy high-res version of that.</wishful thinking>

This reminds me that I need to post a vid on Youtube detailing the one FFVII glitch people still haven't found. Any guesses on what it is?

Well, you need to access the Debug Room to pull it off. And it's fighting about one of the WEAPONs.

No, it's when you are actually fighting one of the Weapons.

I'm guessing you mean the Cid event that triggers a battle with Diamond.

I'm imagining it has something to do with Ultimate Weapon... a glitch in which he dies in the wrong place, maybe?

"Bosala" looks like a typo of "Bosola" to me, although Bosola hasn't even posted in this thread yet.

Stop complaining Assola ;D

I can sympathise to a certain extent with people who misspell: I've got Covarr wrong before and I've misspelt NFITC1 god know how many times. However, I can't see why Bosola would be so hard ???

I was going completely to fast late at nite when I posted that lol.
All I saw was Bo and assumed it was Bosola(and in my haste mis-typed his name)

No, that's everybody. You don't know how many times I've seen my name misspelled.
Interestingly, the problem usually seems to be related to doubling of letters.
Title: Re: The original release of FFVII on PSX has some interesting things
Post by: Kudistos Megistos on 2010-07-15 23:26:20
Mine was completely unrelated to the doubling of letters. ;D

For some reason, I can't remember anyone ever misspelling my name. Perhaps mine is so unusual that people copy and past it? :|

I never could guess where 'NFITC1' came from. It's not a set of initials / birth year (sl1982), nor an obvious acronym.

So, getting back to the previous conversation, what is this WEAPON battle Bosque was talking about?

Aha. Am I to pronounce it so, or as 'Ennfittick-ONE'?

Nope. I'll do the video ASAP once I finish my exams, which means next Monday.

NFITC = Nameless Face In The Crowd.

I remember because when we all changed our names to things Cloud-related, he announced that he was changing his name to Nameless Face In The Cloud... and therefore just didn't change his name :P

Don't know where the "1" comes from.

Well, duh.  But he's normally too modest to talk about it, let alone put it in his name :D
