Hi I'm one of the quiet ones who read a lot and post a little. Just wanted to say a couple things.

1). I don't know you well or anything but good-bye emerald. It's never really pleasant to lose a real member. Especially due to little things that shouldn't happen or things that aren't intentional (I.E. some of the  "using grammar that isn't even near Engrish.") Not everyone is completely fluent in English. Though there are some who just felt like taking grammar out back and shooting it. But on the internet these days it's rare to see any places with a fair number of members that don't have at least a couple people like that.  I hope you end up reconsidering and sticking around regardless.

2). I'm sorry if my horrible lack of punctuation, improper structure, and (on occasion) bad grammar bother anybody but i admit I have been, and more than likely will be again, part of that problem. I don't think i fall under the other issues addressed but if i do sorry.

3). It's too bad when people don't get along, especially when they can't handle it themselves privately and find a resolution to the current dilemma. I know i heard plenty of times growing up the classic, "If ya can't say nothing nice don't say nothing at all!" Granted i don't know the whole situation and I'm not asking to but i think some people may need to step back and think about some of the flames, insults, fights, etc that they are getting involved in and consider the other persons point of view make sure you fully grasp what they are saying and if that doesn't help how about simply resisting the urge to start or provoke drama. Allow the newbies a little newbishness and if you want to say something about things try being nice and showing some courtesy it might help if not and they bother u that bad ignore them.

Thats pretty much it. I know at least a couple people are going to disagree or feel I've overstepped myself or something (which is their right,) but I'm feeling opinionated today so i thought I'd share on the off chance it might do some good. I'll return to being quiet again now.

I've gotta say that if i were in your shoes i'd pack my stuff and be on the next plane for tokyo. Business is business. You know this could be your only chance to achieve your dream. Your boss might struggle finding a replacement but honestly.. that really isnt your dilemma. Do you think your boss would worry so much about you? He's a business man and i'm sure he understands how the world works. The fault lies on him for not being better prepared for this. Take your chance don't let it pass you up!

I did a search to see if i could find info here i didnt see anything.. i'm not sure if this topic is a no no or not if it is i'm sure a mod will let me know but...

I Owned the PSX cds FF7 and own the CDs for FF8 and FF9 still. Recently my FF7 disks got trashed nothin i can do about it atleast i have the PC version still (yay) but in the event that the same things happened to my FF8 and 9 disks i wanted to back them up... Well i've tried to burn them to CDs but i get errors cuz of the copyright stuffs i'm assuming.. I've even tried programs like cloneCD But they always error or with clone CD it writes to the HD and then starts burning to the CD an stops at 3%. The disks Aren't bad there isnt a scratch on'em yet an i can't figure out how to back'em up right.. Any advice?

General Discussion / Is it a good idea to get Omnislash now?

« on: 2004-09-21 09:17:24 »

i never even used omnislash against the weapons... Just KoTR pretty much jus kept KoTR an they dropped pretty easy. But omnislash isn't needed really for anything in the game. Just that it's one of them things you want to get... i dunno i always get it lol. one of them havta have things. and yea tap square a few times to see what slot options you have and the order they are in. Then get it to the one before the slot selection your aiming to get. Hold square on the one before the one your trying to get. That DOES pause the slots. (also works for Tifa's and Cait Sith's limits) but yea let go of square and hit the button and boom you just controlled the slots... easy huh?

« on: 2004-09-21 08:58:45 »

lvling yourself is part of the game though i spent maybe an hour or 2 lvling at low lvl in junon hehe gotta love the alarm... but yea i owned the game didn't hardly lvl up at all after that until i went to beat the weapons then i got cloud 93 tifa 91 and nanaki 91 and owned them too lol. you don't need trainers i mean i guess in my oppinion they ruin the game.. lvling up is part of the experience. 1st 2nd 3rd.... 24th etc time i've played this game too many times to count never used a trainer once guess i just beleive in doin things the old fashioned way lol. but to each their own....

« on: 2004-09-20 19:52:40 »

kinda odd it took soo long and they finally come out with new FF7 movie AND game even.. hopefully it hasnt been too long for them. If they do take it out of RPG style that would be just wrong Final Fantasy just hasta be RPG i mean come on especially if it's a sequal to (in not just my oppinion but a vast majority of the gaming world) the greatest RPG of all time. I really do hope that it is an RPG that lives up to it's name anything with an FF7 tag on it has big shoes to fill. But i hope that my assumption about the several games basing each character as a lead turns out right lol i don't know about you guys but i think that would be good. And about the spoiler listed earlier anyone hear if anything about that is mentioned in FF7 AC? cuz... well.. it shoulda been i mean considering the time period and such. lol sorry this gots me all worked up i'm excited an can't wait

ok nanaki didnt really have a huge role in the game Ged pretty sure his fate was to be another attempt at a clone had not cloud an the gang happened upon him he was also to mate with aeris... which means cross species mating is a possibility to where his pups came from in the ending. He was the last of his species but if he could mate with aeris why not someone else right? and apparently thats what the kids turned out as. Other than that all there was to nanaki is a way to bring cosmo canyon and buggenhagen (i'm sure thats spelled soo wrong lol) into the picture to further along/add (with the lil deal about his dad, Seto) to the story... thats about all there is to nanaki

General Discussion / Cloud, Zack and Sephiroth (major spoilers)

« on: 2004-09-11 00:10:03 »

Cloud isnt really an empty shell... just lost in himself. He has his memories they are just surpressed. Some things like flashback at #5 reactor are from his memory coming through and at the lifestream where it finaly shows that he is a shinra guard in nibelheim and not zack was his memory.  Gast wasn't part of it he even said Gast wouldnt do something like this in Vincent's story Gast did the research and figured out how to do it Hojo took what Gast had learned and discovered and just took it the final step with Sephiroth. An on a side note... i think Nanaki and Aeris woulda had some messed up lookin kids lol

General Discussion / Cloud, Zack and Sephiroth (major spoilers)

« on: 2004-09-09 20:49:18 »

First off this post's info was put together by me an my bro (HBK188) whom i couldn't have done this without.
Sephiroth Zack and Cloud how things really are...
OK Lets start this off with professor Gast. Being the man who did the original research on the Jenova project... But research was all he really did. He got the information from Ilfana about Jenova. That Jenova exists and will not die and the planet is keeping a close eye on it. Hojo got wind of everything because Gast was reporting what he found out to shinra and Hojo kept some of those reports to himself. Now let's cut to Lucrecia and the birth of  Sephiroth. Sephiroth was the son of Lucrecia and Hojo. Hojo convinced her to give there unborn child to the Jenova project. Before Sephiroth was born he injected him with Jenova cells. And thats how sephiroth came about. Now cut to icicle inn. Hojo came to icicle inn and took Ilfana and Aeris and killed Gast and stole his research from there. Well as we all know Ilfana escaped with Aeris During or just slightly after the war in Wutai. Which happened atleast 17 years previous to the game. As yuffie wasn't born until after the war and she is 16. Well sephiroth became a great war hero during that time We don't know his exact age but i'm gonna guess he was around 14-16. And Aeris would have been about 5. Cloud woulda been 4 then. So Hojo had Ilfana and Aeris for between 4-5 years but they did escape and Ilfana was in bad shape from the escape she left Aeris with her new mom (the name escapes me at the moment) and passed away. Leaving Aeris the sole surviving ancient. Or does it? Sephiroth stated several times through out the game he was an ancient. And if you hunt around you'll find a document that states X day X month Jenova confirmed to be an ancient.... That part of the story get's kinda pushed aside by most people. But it's there. So Aeris and Sephiroth are the sole survivors of the Cetra race. Now before i get to Cloud let me make something clear. The ability to meld memories and create illusions is the power of Jenova ok now that thats said lets goet this going. Lets get to Cloud and some more important parts of the story. Cloud 7 years ago at the well with Tifa. Tifa wearing the green dress and the stars and the promise they made. Remember that? Those are really Cloud's memories. Theres a big mix of memories in clouds head. Between his and Zacks. I'll specify who's are who's throughout this. Cloud leaves then to join soldier at age 13 (7 years prior to the beginning of the game) 2 years pass and Cloud doesnt make it into soldier but he's still in shinra.  Although Cloud does not make it into soldier he is despatched to Nibelheim with Sephiroth and Zack. Now the flashback he has in Kalm shows Him as a member of soldier 1st class. We all know that was Zack not Cloud. The real Cloud was the shinra guard in the truck with mostion sickness. Also the one who was standing guard first we know it was Cloud on guard duty first because Zack offered to come keep him company. Remember "Cloud" said he would come back an talk to the guard? Yea that was Zacks memory Cloud displayed there. And the reason Zack said he would was because him and cloud were friends (the reason there were only 3 beds is because 1 person was gonna be on guard all night they didnt need more than 3 beds) Anyways what follows is really unimportant until we get to the reactor the second time after the fire. (which is real proven by zaghanan, tifas teacher, in the letter he wrote to her) Tifa is severely wounded by Sephiroth and Zack also. Cloud follows and is outraged takes Zacks sword and cuts Sephiroth but does not kill him.  Sephiroth limps inside the reactor a little more until he reaches Jenova and Cloud stops him. Sephiroth cuts him but cloud tosses him over the bridge with Sephiroths sword. The problem with the memory at Kalm is that Cloud could not have known what happened inside the reactor unless he'd taken Zack's place. So that too shows that Clouds flashback was of Zack's memory. Now the peice we saw at the # 5 reactor is true Tifa takes the sword and goes after Sephiroth this was how she was wounded at the reactor. This goes to prove Jenova's mind melding abilities because Cloud would not have Zacks memories of what happened before Cloud arrived and Zack would not have the concious memories of what happened after he was Cut. After everything here Hojo arrives with shinra and collects the bodies. (Tifa is not there Zanhagan saved her it said in her letter) It's at this point Hojo decides to test tube Cloud and Zack They didn't get # tattoos because they weren't full Sephiroth clones.but if they had they would have been 2 and 3 Sephiroth being 1... also Nanaki would have been 15 instead of 13 but anyways. Nanaki got a number but wasnt a full clone neither infact he hadn't had much done to him his main purpose was to extend the life span of the ancient which is why Hojo was gonna breed him and Aeris. But anyways Zack already has a tolerance for mako and the like so it doesnt affect him as much as it did Cloud (hence why he is still concious) But after all that and 5 years of it Cloud is pretty far gone. Zack breaks them out. Now the Jenova cells in cloud are very active due to the high concentration of mako and it's coming up here where Cloud absorbs Zacks memories. They take off twoards midgar and are being given a ride by a man in a truck where Zack decides he would become a mercenary an says Cloud can with him. He gives Cloud some clothes to wear. Well the driver drops them off on the cliffs outside midgar. It's here where the shinra guards catch them and kill Zack. Because Cloud was so messed up already they just left him for dead there. (Although in the report they made later they said he escaped...) But Cloud comes too and see's his friend lying there dead takes his sword and makes his way to midgar. He's sitting at the train station all dulled up on mako when he runs into Tifa. Now i beleive he absorbed some of Tifa's memories here but i really don't have much for proof to support this. But notice when Tifa starts talking to him she says his name and he questions it we get a flash (this is wear i think he absorbed some of her memories) and he knows whats going on and is semi back to normal for the most part. After this he relays "his" memories to Tifa and the game begins. Now Sephiroth is being chased around the entire game. I hate to disapoint ya all but that isn't the real Sephiroth. The real Sephiroth Throughout the game is in north crater. Thats where he came out of the lifestream. He is encased in materia as you here in the scene where you first see weapon an cloud gives the black materia to Sephiroth. Sephiroth has been here through out the entire game. The Sephiroth you chase around are Sephiroth clones. You remember the part on the way to the reunion where sephiroth says this is the end of this bodies usefulness? Yup just a clone. Sephiroth has the ability to manipulate his clones because of the Jenova cells. Since Cloud wasnt a true clone he couldnt completely control him but still had affect from time to time. You see his influance when Cloud gives the black materia to Sephiroth but you see he doesnt have total control when Clouds friends are able to stop him from killing Aeris. So yea that's the deal with Sephiroth Cloud and Zack. I think i covered just about everything here. Everything important anyways. But that's the whole deal i got the proof to back up most everything i've said an if ya all don't beleive something lemme know and i'll tell ya where to find the proof in the game.
