Hey with squall, Irvine and a bunch of viii gear now I can probably beat Biggs n wedge... If I can find time to not be working on events. I need more than 60 stamina
Jenova Absolute is an underrated boss track, I think.
Also I really love Sephiroth's main theme (Those Chosen By The Planet), probably more than One Winged Angel. That bell sound and those heartbeat drums build up this perfect sense of dread... and then the main chords kick in and you know shit's going down.
edit: Listening to Birth of a God, it really sounds the most "classic FF" to me out of most of FFVII's soundtrack. Like I could easily hear this track showing up in VI or earlier.
Hope you enjoy Sundays! I call them Bard and Ranger days (man what a horrible pun...sorry).
I got fed up with carrying them around and egged them up to 50. I have plenty of other decent characters that can contribute to not making the Sunday experience dungeon a nightmare to clear.

If this doesn't put a smile on your face you are dead inside.
Glad I'm not the only one.
If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go find a bunch of humorously misspelled cat memes to try and fill this void inside of me.
Then, maybe some cake.
Nearing the end of my Fiesta! Just pushed past Twintania before the end zone, and that was a bear of a fight. Not enough ability to give out damage before the whole party got hit for 3000+ with Gigaflare, no ability to survive that kind of hit without significant grinding.
Buuuut, when the boss starts charging for that attack, they're vulnerable to instant death attacks. Of which I have only the Samurai's Ianuki, which takes longer to go off than the Gigaflare does.
Very fortunate timing on that one. Apparently the vulnerability opens up just before the message that the boss is charging for a big attack.
FFV is far from my favorite, and I think the plot, characters, and translation are forgettable at best, but the mechanics of its boss fights are just such great puzzles when you can't brute force them.

I'm certain there are a good number of people who post reaction videos purely for the hits. And I'll admit, seeing that counter shoot past the thousands over night is pretty satisfying in its own way.
But for me, the reaction video was a digitally uploaded memory, one that I'm incredibly happy for preserving. I look at it now and I'm still laughing at myself, and also wondering if I could ever recreate that level of hype with anything ever again ("I won the lottery and am now a multimillionaire? Neat.")
That's why I can appreciate the vids recorded by people who I can tell shared the same rush of joy I did, and even at the same key points (which is why I love that mashup so much).
After spamming it page after page after page though, I'm sorry if this sounds heartless and assholish, but I don't give a shit about your memory anymore.
It's like the forum version of those parents who won't stop showing you pictures of their kids. Like, I'm happy you love them and all. But I don't care about your kids!

I watched AC last week in light of the remake developments. Still fast forwarded from fight to fight. Still all about dat Rude/Reno.
I understand getting excited about things. I freak out when I find a new short story collection I didn't know I needed at the book exchange. What I have a problem with is people knowing they are on camera. They know they are being recorded. Which changes behavior. Which makes me think it's not genuine.
I know this isn't 100% truth.
I'm still a pessimistic grumpy old man so get off my lawn.
Mostly came down to throwing money and using Dualcast to keep bringing people back to life, but it took me a few runs to get it right. I actually ran out of money to throw early into the second form, but managed to whittle him down between my Samurai and the powered up Chicken Knife on the Red Mage.
Anyway. The Fiesta is always a great time, glad I actually finished this year. It left me eying the Dragon Quest iOS ports for more job system shenanigans. Any recommendations on which is best in that regard?
More than anything with the FF7R announcement, I've learned that a bafflingly-large number of people record themselves watching press conferences for some reason.
Reaction videos are not some new thing. There's a youtube channel aptly named REACT that's pretty much all just reaction videos of kids watching X thing, elders watching Y thing, teens who don't play games playing the first 20 minutes of Dark Souls or whatever, etc. with the focus of the video being on how the people react to the thing.
That channel has like 4.5 million subscribers.
If you don't like reaction videos that's cool and all, but some people like them, or like making them, and it's not new.
It reminds me of the people who have to go out of their way to explain to you why they don't understand why anybody would watch a let's play of a game or watch a streamer play league or whatever. We get it, you don't get it, but you're taking up just as much forum real estate telling everybody about how you don't like the thing they like.
Much like the person above can feel free to say he doesn't care about your memory or the reaction videos, we can also not care about his opinion on reaction videos.

His level cap is now broken and he's got his first Record Materia. Life is good.
I did get Cloud's record materia so I think I'm gonna focus on picking those up.
Wait, does it randomly drop or something?
I still managed to squeak out a Master, even though I only Experted the boss.
Not that it matters either way, as the Memory Crystal was the First-Time reward.
Vivi's Record Materia does sound nice, but Black Mage's just sounds better for long dungeons.
I like how it tells me what I need to do to get the next one.
I want his second RM, just so I can use Quake to delete one group of trash per battle.
White Mage's is less vital, but getting extra Curagas is never bad.

So Optional boss attempts this run I guess?

Just hit the Crescent Island.

Got such a Danny Elfman vibe to it.

On the flipside I also rarely get as angry from disappointment as some people do. So its a fair tradeoff.
nah i don't wanna know
The best one is at 1:04:16 anyway, so just skip ahead. 8-)

Screw the haters, this is magical. I love seeing people get hyped for a series they love.

Could be the tagline for FFVII.
I will never be a memory.

Six is up on ios I believe, it is a port of the DS version.
I think 1 through 6 and 8 are all on iOS.
Edit: Dragon Quest, y'all, not FF.
