ETA?
Whenever the site chooses to work again.
And it's amusing that the last disc is mainly for the final movie, because it totally messed up on me. So I have to link a youtube. Whatever though. I already had like 70 shots without it.
I was gonna kill Ultimate before going back to Midgar in the last update, but while flying around and chasing him, he literally pushed me into Midgar starting the dialogue script which parachutes you in without giving you a chance to say "wait, hold on!"

I feel like the battle victory music should start playing right now. Actually it is playing. In my head. Forever. I hope you're all happy.
Part 31: Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse
Hope you didn’t forget about him. I started chasing him around before the Midgar portion, but he actually knocked me into Midgar, starting the section without my consent. Quite annoying. Anyway, Ultimate Weapon is really quite a joke. Not only does he fly away after every 10,000ish damage allowing you to full heal before the next time, but he does pretty shit damage too apart from maybe Shadow Flare which actually did kill Banana once.
But he died pretty easily, and from killing Ultimate Weapon you get Squall’s ultimate weapon Ultima Weapon… uh, yeah…
But we shall waste no more of. Time to descend down into the Northern Crater.
‘Jailbait and I will go left. All you fuckers can go perish horribly on the right.’
‘Hmm, perhaps I shouldn’t have ignored that agonizing scream a few paces back…’
‘Where are the dinosaurs? Damn you for misleading me, Jules Verne!’
‘Hey are you guys even listening to me? I said let’s mosey!’
‘If we pretend we can’t hear him, maybe he’ll eventually say something less gay.’
‘Have I told you guys lately that I hate you all with the fury of a thousand suns?’
‘Why? Oh right, I forgot you and your hatred of sticking together. I’d tell you to piss off, but there are only two other useful people here anyhow.’
‘Haha, yeah you’re probably right. Hey, guess what? You’re coming with me again. Suck it.’
We continue downward into the most improbable planetary center ever where we fight crazy monster after crazy monster.
‘Goddamn, I got sober for this?’
‘Oh man, crazy tentacle monster and we have a young, Japanese…ish girl here ripe for the picking? …Oh well, it’s for the good of the planet.’
‘But at least put a shirt on… please.’
Jenova Synthesis. At the end of this countdown she casts Ultima, I think. She never got lower than 5… which is what it starts at. An interesting thing to note is if you have Knights of the Round and you use it here, it adds 60,000 hit points to the next Sephiroth battle, and 80k to the final one. Not like you need to. She’s weak as hell. This is the alien that started all this shit?
‘Oh man, this is what Jenga must be like in Hell.’
My assumption is that is Holy, and the red shit is something Sephiroth is doing to stop it from being released. If he can hold back the ultimate white magic, what fucking good are we going to be?
‘Agh! Real men… do not… lose control of their bodies!’
Doooon’t care how. I want it noooooow!
What? That doesn’t make any sense! I give up. Let’s just get it over with.
‘This is it! No going back for a change of trousers now! And believe me, I’d really like to!’
Bizarro Sephiroth is a pretty pathetic fight. You kill the limbs and head before the body and core, but seeing how I had no level 99 characters and didn’t use Knights on Jenova, he barely had any hit points. Jailbait pretty much double-cuts for 8kish, plus has counter. Squall can Slash-All for about 6-7k.
‘Oh yeah, those guys…
No.’
You actually get to make a second party. But they’re all pretty weak, nor did I have a lot of extra materia, so we don’t care about them. Fuck you, other members.
He went down quickly.
Are you ready… to disco?
Safer Sephiroth. A mistranslation of Seraph Sephiroth, I believe. One Winged Angel begins to play in the background, which is probably one of the most recognizable pieces of Final Fantasy music. Again, since I had no characters at 99, nor used Knights on Jenova, he has a pathetic amount of hit points. That being said, the fight still gave me a couple scares since he can cast Shadow Flare like Ultimate Weapon
Oh yeah, and this:
Longest spell sequence in the game save Knights of the Round… Quite irritating if you end up having to watch it more than once. Not to mention totally immersion shattering due to the nature of the attack, as if there was any to begin with.
Quick, someone do that math for me.
An attack which flies through planets…
Lands into the sun…
Destroys more planets as it expands… (Also names them all as they perish. Guess this answers our question that we are indeed on Earth, since we’re in the same solar system. Despite this, a lot of FF7 material claims the planet is called Gaia or Gaea or something. Who gives a shit, really?)
Then slowly expands towards us. I get this attack is sort of a "rule of cool" thing where it exists solely to be awesome looking, but come on now. If he can do this, why the fuck did he even need Meteor?
‘Oh god, hot hot hot!’
Without even realizing it, I win.. A few attacks later he begins to dissolve. This is the easiest game ever.
‘How many times do I have to say it? I DO NOT CARE.’
This line serves a double purpose applying to this entire plot as well as to prepare you for the plot of Final Fantasy VIII.
Of course he is. If we can get assaulted by our sun exploding in our faces, why would a few sharp objects stall him?
What I can gather here is Squall’s mind still needs to fight off what remains of Sephiroth’s hold over him.
Whoops, the timer hit zero. Time to Slide again.
‘Haven’t had enough? Well then. Let us end it here for good.’
‘Normally we can’t get you to shut the fuck up and now you’re not talking at all? Fine. I’ll do the talking.’
‘In the name of cliché anime endings and all my pseudo-friends!’
‘I have the poweeerrrr!’
‘For Lockheart! Staying by my side throughout a very harrowing detox!’
‘For FIRE DOG! Heating our noodle cups!’
‘For Loaf! For having the worst backstory ever!’
‘For Not A Spy! Being a total fucking douchebagel until the very end!’
‘For Dr. Acula! For releasing the greatest A capella folk polka black metal album in history!’
‘For Banana! Using the same weapon throughout the whole damn game!’
‘For Jailbait! For always keeping her pants unbuttoned!’
‘For Mary Sue! Keeping the world’s oldest profession alive… until she died!’
‘For Tseng! For doing what we all wanted; Pimp-slapping Mary!’
‘For Marlene! Giving me a hard one anytime I need it!
…Drinks, perverts!’
‘For you… Sadly sings destiny…’
‘Respice post te, Sephiroth…’
‘Mortalem te esse memento…’
‘And go to fucking Hell.’
(My end video messed up, so here’s the youtube. It would have been too many shots and I wouldn’t know what to say anyways.)
‘That’s it?! What the hell!? Is the world safe!? Are we dead like Biggs, Wedge and Jessie who died agonizing dea-
…Ah nuts to this. Come on, JB. Let’s go get a soda pop.’
There we go. The ending is definitely rather ambiguous and left people debating its meaning long after it was released. It’s safe to say, however, that Sephiroth is dead and Mary Sue helped conjure up the Lifestream to support Holy in destroying Meteor. Fatfuck Palmer is never heard from again and FIRE DOG has… children? (How? He was the last one! He must have been a hermaphrodite. Yes, that is clearly the explanation.) Everyone maybe happily ever after because by the laughing children at the very end, humanity must not have been wiped out… Yeah, I don’t get it either, but there you have it.
What is this Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus you speak of?
Hope you all enjoyed. Thanks for sticking with me and being supportive, despite some of my admittedly very immature jokes and lulls in decent commentary (especially during disc two and more specifically this last one). The whole experience was positive for me. I learned a lot about the game and doing LPs, and also that I curse way too much. Sorry about that. So maybe I’ll do another sometime, but I honestly have no idea what it would be.
And also thanks to Leovinus' FFVIII for giving me groundwork to go on, not that he'll read this. Any similarities to any other LPs is completely coincidental.
Thanks again to all the readers, President George watches you from above.
WOOO! You've done what no one has ever accomplished on these boards.
also I know that last fight is supposed to be cinematic and what not and not a real fight but one time when i fought him right before the limit gauge was filled he attacked, i countered and he died... sort of made it feel like a pointless fight to me
You deserve a pat on the back and a stiff drink man. Not only did you actually manage to finish the game but you kept your LP entertaining throughout. Good fucking show.
A Sliders reference in the final update? For the WIN.
Thank you sir, for allowing me to experience this game. What a conflicting mess it is, too! I have to say, having just finished it, I think Final Fantasy VI had a better ending. Better music, too. But that's for another thread. Kudos on a job well done!

I'll have to take your word for it. I never played more than an hour or so of FFVI. Though I do vaguely know the ending. So I'll look forward to Xenogears of Bore's FFVI LP. Keep on the lookout for that one. Though it's not a parody I think he said, just to be clear.
But yeah, as harsh as I could have been at times, and as silly as the story can be, I still love this game. I actually really enjoyed playing it again and without cheats.
Here are some ending statistics if you're curious:
Playtime: 38 hours, 27 minutes. (There was an instance where I accidentally left the game on while going out to dinner, so I don't remember how much that affected it.)
Number of images: 1,961 (Average of 63 per update)
Total size: 89mb (Average 2.87 Mb per update)
That was amazing, good sir. I'm not really saying anything that hasn't already been said, but I thought it was fully entertaining the whole way through.
Just think! People were calling you insane(indirectly) for doing your First LP ever as FFVII! Damn well done.
I'm not sure what's next, if anything. Like I said before, the whole reason I chose FFVII was because I wanted to LP something to get it out of my system, and this was the only game that I held enough affection for that I figured I could tolerate doing all this work on. Not to mention it had plenty of broken English and absurd plots to assist me in being funny. If left completely to my own devices, it's difficult for me to be witty in any consistent fashion.
I had enough fun to where I'd like to do another, but I've barely played any games in 10 years thanks to things like MMOs, school and work sucking my free time away.
Congratulations on finishing. Not even the Something Awful LPer managed to get past launching the rocket before the inane story drove him insane/bored to tears.

THERE'S A FF8 LP!?!?!!?
Would anyone kindly be able to link me if they've got it favourited, or even point me in the right direction? 'Cos I'd love to see someone take the piss out of FF8, even though it's my favourite. :P
Gotta say Adus, VERY nice job. This has been consistently funny throughout which is not an easy task!
One thing though, in that final vid Cid looks incredibly female. :P Especially as his cigar slowly drops out of his mouth.
So, I really didn't miss out on much with my disc 3 being totally screwed. *Shrugs*
Stupid capped internet, I'll have to comment on the rest of the final video another time.

Now to see if it's still your favorite after you read this.
Incidentally, make a note of the rest of that LP archive. In addition to the FF8 one, Scorchy's KotOR II and (especially) Chewbot's Animal Crossing LPs are some of the greatest things to ever grace the internet. Pace yourself, though. If you read all of those after Adus's work here, everything else you read may seem tortuously dull and pointless by comparison. Indeed, so may all life.

Indeed. The Animal Crossing one is probably the most brilliant LP I've ever seen. I also tend to like games that are bad and/or enrage the player. Sonic 2006 is quite an epic in that context. I also found Desert Bus quite amusing once they get into reading bad fanfiction (which is in Desert Bus 2 and 3 I believe) though the other parts are a bit annoying or boring.
Also there are some finished video LPs of FFVII on youtube, so it's not like I was the first. They didn't sound like they had voices that were good for LPing though. One guy actually read every line, which would drive me mad.

By fun, I mean pretty annoying.
I bet the eventual remake will put in fights with the exploded weapons, and maybe a voltron style combined weapon fight.

I was actually considering doing the same. It says it's SA only, but I guess it can't hurt to ask. Plus it'd be nice, because there's no FF7 LP there.
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
