IT IS FINISHED!!!

[mimi_sardinia]

Yes folks, I have finished Final Fantasy VII!!!

May I just say, after fighting Ruby and Emerald, Proud Clod, Hojo in all his forms, Jenova SYTHISIS, Bizarro Sephiroth and Safer Sephiroth all seemed easy? By Eru, what was the idea behind that Squeenix??!!!

The FMVs were interesting to see though, I have this facination with the way that those that turned up in Advent Children are so exact to the original. I also noticed something, the vision/whatever Cloud has of taking Aeris' hand when fighting Bahamut SHIN is exactly like the one he had after the final mental fight with Sephiroth (and DAMMIT! WHY DIDN'T THEY HAVE HIM SHIRTLESS IN AC????!!!!!!) that when he woke up whatever saw Tifa holding out her hand the same way.

Oh and why oh why didn't they show a nice clear shot in the final FMV of Vincent???? ;_;

Anyway, now I'm not sure what I'm going to do now I've finished the game, I'm not sure I want to go start it all over again... yet. Maybe I'll go play that second Blaise Draconis game I had sitting in BG2...

You know what? I want FF8 now, I've heard it was released for PC as well.

And I am just a tad miffed that I have already read all of Lady Yashodoa's FF7 fics, the idea of girl!Cloud has currently got a very hard grip on my mind. I supose I'll have to wait for her to update Road to Damascus but considering that I went and read the latter two thirds of Cloud's Secret most of RtD won't exactly be new ground for me (RtD is a rewrite of CS).

I also need to work on my dolls. Bleh.

Because Emerald and Ruby are optional. :) They're rather hard to beat and some people don't WANT to beat them (a lot harder without cheats ect. )

Eh. >.> I've never seen a version of Girl!Cloud I've really, really liked though Lady Yashodoa did a good job at points.

Yeah, to get the same materia setup I had by legitimate means it'd take a shitload of levelling up and even then I'm not sure - some of my materia was giving me hell trying to get it to spawn which makes me wonder if the designers handicapped the reproduction function in the latter summons because they didn't expect any players to go to the effort of mastering such materia as Pheonix and KotR just they would spawn.

Completely possible. ^_^

The reason you don't see Vincent (or Yuffie, for that matter) in the game's ending FMV is because they are optional characters, and people who didn't get them would be like "WTF is that?"

Ahh, yeah, I forgot the optional factor. Still, it's a pity though, I'd have loved to see how Vincent would have been rendered in the game FMVs, I guess though now there's even better, not only with AC but with DoC as well (which has a flashback to his Turk days!!!!), both of which are far better CGI than the original FF7 was.
