The Final Fantasy VII Playing It Again Thread

**CKemu** · September 17th, 2005

A curse on that film, a curse on it!! It's got me all inspired!

This thread had a few comments that got me thinking, 'ahar one last dip at this legendary game until I retire it' (until I get the urge again).

I tried replaying it early this year / end of last year, but alas Real Life (tm) consumed me!

Come join me on this 3 disc adventure that remains an eternal classic:

Here we go again.....

I'm not replaying it for the 4th time until Square remakes it.

galson · September 17th, 2005

I am currently replaying it (for the 5th time :>), heheh

I am on 3rd disc now, just got there

PS2 has so few good rpgs...

Lobo: I wish you patience

stilz · September 17th, 2005

Square would be stupid not to remake it; it is a guranteed hit. And all they have to do is redo the graphics. In fact, I hope all they do is redo the graphics.

**CKemu** · September 17th, 2005

Well I have started

**Chrono Archangel** · September 18th, 2005

I guess someone took my idea from the other thread. Oh well, might as well as join in.

hey, what a coincidence! on my GT4 breaks when i want some "easy" playing, i've been playing FF7. let's see where am i...a couple days ago i passed the don corneo/sewer scene. here are some screenshots from the last few hours i've played.

i've beaten this game so many times that i just take it easy, it's kind of relaxing. one thing i love about FF7 is that you never have to stop to level up!

this game is immensely more interesting because this is my first time playing it in a long time...and now that i can understand a lot of signs, the game is pretty damn funny. for example, check out the doors on the honey bee inn....it basically says "girls girls" on the door. but on the workout place it says "men men men" on teh sign

Aided Onslaught · September 18th, 2005

I"ve played it at least 12 times...I thought about playing it again when I got down watching hte movie too...

Guyver2K6 · September 18th, 2005

i may play again, after im done goin over legend of dragoon again, great game

galson · September 18th, 2005

Oh, and which reminds me of something. I play FF7 on my PS2 this time and there is one problem. Each time I've been through the game (on PSX and ePSXe) after beating Diamond Weapon, Ruby appeared at the badlands of Gold Saucer. This time it didn't and what's more there's no sign of it even on disc three... And yes, the Ultima has also been defeated. What's going on? Or maybe I scared it away?

Hanamichi · September 18th, 2005

I may want to replay it aswell for the 6th time sometime soon.

But thats nothing, Im sure my hardcore FF7 friend is going to play his 15th time after watching Advent Children as well. Or atleast, Last I heard 3 years ago he stopped at 14 times.
