[edit] Thirdhand copy

I recently got my hands on a third-hand copy of Final Fantasy VII for Windows. If the controls in it are typical, then it's a minor miracle that FF7 didn't send the company into bankruptcy. After two hours of playing, I still can't get the characters to go where I want more than about a third of the time. --67.185.129.168 05:39, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I'd recommend getting the PSX version. It's either probably a lot cheaper or readily available. It's a lot faster and easier to use. Probably the fastest of the newer FFs (but definitely not as fast as the SNES games). Crazyswordsman 05:47, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Loading

The loading for Final Fantasy VII is way faster than V and VI.

Hell no it's not. Crazyswordsman 22:00, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

after the release of AC, BC, DoC, LO & CC i feel as if some of this info so be up dated. I also think its injust to [state something thats really open to speculation. just like the intro to FFVIII; i'm sure everyone has their own prospective. i don't think it's proper to add ones own opinio n into wiki. psp

It may be late, but whoever posted that may have been playing the PSX versions. --Auron Kaizer 14:42, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Confusion

---

"When in the game it says you can take barret, yuffie, tifa, or areith to the "date" at the gold saucer; doesnt this imply that there is homosexuality in the game; Not that homosexuals are bad but it seems to "twist" the Final Fantasy line of the main character falling in love with the main girl at the end. [GuyWhyRantsAboutStuff]"

Hey, the guy wears dresses. What r' ya gonna do? --Auron Kaizer 18:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

first, Cross-dressing doesn't directly relate to being gay. Secondly, while going on a date with Barret may impply bisexuality, not homosexuality, they aren't technically going on a date, just hanging out.--Puck Udroc 22:59, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Game Thinger

hey, I was trying to find a fan-made FFVII battle thing, and this is another thing I got, that is so much cooler. FFVII battler--Puck Udroc 22:59, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Enix or Soft

In the paragraph below, shouldn't it be Square Soft, not Square Enix, wasn't this befor the change? -- Parad0x

The game was a critical and commercial success: it received glowing reviews from most video game magazines and by 1999 the game had sold more than eight million copies worldwide, with about 3 million in the first 48 hours of its release. It was one of the first console role-playing games to achieve widespread popularity outside of Asia, and the ongoing popularity of the title led Square Enix to produce a series of sequels and prequels under the collective title Compilation of Final Fantasy VII in the mid-2000s.

The project was announced when they had become Square Enix, so that is correct. --Auron Kaizer 17:59, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Yea, FFVII was a Soft project, whereas the awful sequels and prequels were Enix's doing.--Goldberry2000 21:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cloti? Clerith?

Please tell me that I'm not the only person who thinks these sound absolutely ridiculous. What's wrong with just putting down "Cloud & Aerith"? Are ampersands that loathed on the internet? Cloti sounds like a dirty phrase in my mind. It just drives me nuts when people combine two people's names to signify a relationship, and it can be confusing if people have no idea what it's about. Also, at the rate that sections edited at, it could get it's own bloody article. Diablocon 16:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Fan-based names are common for popular games/anime, e.g. Prince of Tennis being called Teni-puri or something ike that. As for these names, they are explaine in the "preface" of the "Love Triangle" section. I've emphasized the names, just in case. --Hecko X 17:00, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Final Fantasy VII rom

ok im not sure if i should ask this here as i dont want to get anyone mad and if im in the wrong please tell me. I have looked everywhere for a copy of Final Fantasy VII. I live in a fairly rural area so my local gamestops didnt have it and every place i tried has not had it. So i was wondering if anyone knew how i could get a rom of it online. I have the PS1 emulator i just need the rom. It sounds amazing and ive never played it so any help would be greatly appreciated. Anyone here think they can help me out?

You should consider buying online. Click any of the links here to be redirected to an online shop that sells the game. --Hecko X 00:51, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleris/ith Cloti section

Should we move it into a separate article? It's getting rather big, and the only thing people seem to edit. --Auron Kaizer 20:21, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

StijnX - Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious - Oscar Wilde: TALK - 21:04, 22 April 2007 (UTC) How about just slashing it off to Final Fantasy VII/Romantic Arguments?

Crazyswordsman - Final Fantasy VI, because Drake says he wants to link to FF7 every day, which is bad because that game is so far inferior to FF6.: TALK - 21:16, 22 April 2007 (UTC) Yeah, but without the slashies. Like move it to a theory article or something.

StijnX - Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious - Oscar Wilde: TALK - 06:23, 23 April 2007 (UTC) Don't diss the slashes. What've they ever done to you?

AuronKaizer - Forever better than the rest.: TALK - Time time knocked me out of my mind. The other theory we got has slashies: Rinoa/Ultimecia Theory.

Why do we just call it "Final Fantasy VII/Love Triangle"? Romantic arguments is kinda corny. No offense Stijn X. -Eileen-

Crazyswordsman - Final Fantasy VI, because Drake says he wants to link to FF7 every day, which is bad because that game is so far inferior to FF6.: TALK - 20:25, 23 April 2007 (UTC) Slashies edit on open proxies and vandalize the Wiki.

Diablocon - No, the question is; who art thou, ham planks? Shanks! I meant shanks: TALK - 15:39, 28 April 2007 (UTC) I'm still for killing the section all together. As I write this, an annon is editing the hell out of it, which just seems to really annoy me.

StijnX - Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious - Oscar Wilde: TALK - Time to die!!! @Eileen Romantic Arguments IMO sounds more professional than Love Triangle. Also, in conversations I prefer to be called Stijn rather than StijnX, think of the X as being my appended surname lol @Diablo, It is an important part to mention, but the anon editing is annoying. A vandal just removed most of the Clerith reasons for no reason apart from that s/he was a Cloti fanboy. @CSM ... BTW, I'm gonna move it all to that slashied page I suggested, could it then be protected, since it is an important part to keep and anon editing to it is really annoying

Actually I edited the Love Triangle Section. I have a screwed up home PC that doesn't allow cookies from here and knocks me off my account. I can use my account on my laptop but if I write anon it's because of my PC. Anyway, I agree moving the Romantic Arguments it was a great idea. Who here think Cloud and Yuffie should get together? -Eileen-

[edit] Aeris reviving section

Crazyswordsman - Final Fantasy VI, because Drake says he wants to link to FF7 every day, which is bad because that game is so far inferior to FF6.: TALK - 06:07, 2 May 2007 (UTC) Similar to the love triangle thing, this should be moved to its own page: Final Fantasy VII rumors.

StijnX - Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious - Oscar Wilde: TALK - Time to chill out I agree, if these things are on the main game page it makes them seem canon and we don't want that

Crazyswordsman - Final Fantasy VI, because Drake says he wants to link to FF7 every day, which is bad because that game is so far inferior to FF6.: TALK - 15:14, 2 May 2007 (UTC) Yeah, I know. I'm planning on making one for VI very soon.

Goldberry2000 - Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce... Guy not caring. *Points at self*: TALK - 16:10, 11 September 2007 (UTC) I was thinking moving it to Final Fantasy VII: Bullshit would probably be more apt, but you're the boss :P

Crazyswordsman - Final Fantasy VI, because Drake says he wants to link to FF7 every day, which is bad because that game is so far inferior to FF6.: TALK - 16:47, 11 September 2007 (UTC) Haha yeah.

[edit] Death of Aeris

I realise that there is a spoiler tag for the "story" section, but is mentioning the death of Aeris really necessary? It's not as if all the other big events of the game are mentioned - maybe it would make more sense to mention it if the story description didn't end at the first disk?

[edit] Discussion

• Hey,I added this discussion section to make it easier to post comments.:)If you don't like it,you can delete it.:)~The Prophet~^{(Talk to me)} 20:13, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

• I think FF7 is the best FF,'cause of the characters,the plot,the music,the whole lot of lessons it teaches you and because I can really identify myself with Cloud's story in my own kinda way.:)And because I think he's the coolest character in a video game ever.Then there's also the perfect mix of personalities in the game's characters

Cloud:Serious,cool,unveliebably strong. Barret:Funny and loud Tifa:Lively one Aeris(th):The cute,tender one. Vincent:The dark,mysterious one Caith Sith:The goofy one(Altough Reeve's really cool) Cid:The dirty mouth,funny one Red 13:The silent,but curious one(It's curious to have a talking creature like him along for the quest) Yuffie:The trouble making thief.

And to top that,they've all got some cool backgrounds. There's also Sephiroth,renowned as the coolest villain in a videogame ever.And well,the music rocked hard and accompanied the situations perfectly.:)I love all FFs,but 7 is my all time favorite!:)!~The Prophet~^{(Talk to me)} 20:13, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Diablocon - No, the question is; who art thou, ham planks? Shanks! I meant shanks: TALK - 20:18, 31 May 2007 (UTC) How is this a discussion? It just sounds like you saying how much you love FFVII, and showing you unfimiliarity with coding. Now, there's nothing wrong with loving a specific FF, but please refrain from putting it on talk pages and the like. Keep it limited to your User Page. Plus, you don't need to state that this is here to make discussion easier, that's the point of a Talk Page! For the record, I think FFVII is overhyped and crap.

StijnX - Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious - Oscar Wilde: TALK - Siguelo Ease off Diablo, these things are allowed to be said on a userpage, just not on the article @ Prophet: I dunno about FFVII being the best, if I had played it when it was first released than maybe, but now it just seems a bit aged. My main problem with it is the fact that it's too modern for its own good, it was the start of modern FF, but it is a bit lacklustre in comparison to FFX and XII. I personally think that for plot FFIX has it nailed down, with a villain acting behind the scenes for a large part of the game. With characters, most games have those mix, and there is no one game where I think "Yeah <blah blah blah> has the best characters, all of them have their own quirks, In the wider world, Sephiroth may be thought of as the best villain, but I ran a poll on this, and Kefka came out ahead. I'm not here to dampen your spirits, but to have a discussion lol. Have fun editing

• It is a discussion because we're supposed to be dis-cu-ssing,Final Fantasy 7.Like I dis-cu-ssed the peculiar character traits.And besides,it's fun for people to discuss on a game they like is it not?Fuuuuuuuun?Ring any bells?Well,anyways,thanks for not eating my head off Redas/Auron picture guy,if you want,I'll take the section off... (geez...)~The Prophet~^{(Talk to me)} 22:29, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

AuronKaizer - Forever better than the rest.: TALK - Time time knocked me out of my mind. Diablocon (the admin I might add) does have a slight point though. While there is no rule saying that you can't discuss whether a game is good or not, you really should keep those discussions to your userpage. Talk pages are really for discussion of the article, not the game in question (nobody gives a damn though, including me) So while it doesn't really matter, I think everyone would be happy if you put a discussion like this on your user talk page instead of here. And for the matter, FFVII kicks ass. It's not the best, but it's certainly good. Only thing bad about it is the fanboys.
