I want to start Final Fantasy VII again REALLY bad

thindarkduke13 · 09.11.2006, 03:36 PM

but I'm too lazy and If I start to play it obsessively like I used to, my grades are going to hell. By the beard of Zeus, I'm in a pickle.

umjammer atomsk · 09.11.2006, 03:41 PM

FF7 is much more important than these "grades" you speak of. Go fight Shinra and uncover Cloud's dark history, yada, yada...

m^a(t)h · 09.11.2006, 05:57 PM

never played FF but just got a game cube and resident evil zero. ive got a ton of homework but fuck it, games are so much cooler.

DemonBox · 09.11.2006, 05:58 PM

FF7 rules all. Go on now, crank it up.

!@#$%! · 09.11.2006, 06:08 PM

yeah! listen to the advice of these people! and while you're at it, ask them how do they make a living or what are their career prospects.... ha ha ha. i don't mean "career" as in "corporate" by the way-- i mean having any kind of productive life-- making art or what not.

anyway ,i hope some of the advice was in jest!

don't get me wrong, i used to love certain games like civilizations, but i know better (or so i think, anyway, ha ha) & stay away from it these days. this shit can be too addictive (though i have to say i've never played final fantasy).

since your life is at stake, maybe you can wait for thanksgiving break to go on a playing rampage? that's a great way to avoid pestering relatives as well...

another option would be to put yourself on a timer & automatically electrocute your gonads if you exceed your quota.

SUMMARY:
yes, ff7 rules all
yes, grades and homework are important
no, you cannot do both
CONCLUSION: do neither

fishmonkey · 09.12.2006, 04:12 AM

aww fuck me i love that game.

my friends were split down the middle with this game, we all loved Playstation, still do but only one other guy liked this game with me. when 8, 9 came out the whole group literally said goodbye to us for the length of time it took for us two to go away and complete it. t'was like we were going away to work on an oil rig for 2 or 3 months!! i suppose we were in a way..

mental fuckin daze.

..and the music when your going into the fight scene..

I recently started playing ff7 again too. It's only the second time. I've gotten to gold Saucer. I love this game.

tip: in gold saucer that secret prize thats worth 500gp is only a carob nut. Completely not worth the hours playing that damn bike game. But now I have 500 gp to spend on the battle arena.

thindarkduke13 · 09.12.2006, 03:44 PM

Aw, I guess I'll wait for some break

atsonicpark · 04.03.2011, 07:08 AM

I love FF7. There's really never been anything else like it, yet it's inspried every RPG since. weird, eh? It was also the last good FF (besides IX, which was pretty awesome, especially near the end, but was a bit hindered by the most unlikeable characters in any FF, plus it was WAY too easy).

XENOGEARS is probably the only other RPG I'd reccomend this highly. I mean, these are games even RPG haters can appreciate (Xenogears is all about killing God, and it involves a giant rat on a crucifix and the rest of the game is a ripoff of NEON GENESIS EVANGELION -- THIS GAME RULES!).

But yeah FF7. When Aeris bit the big one.. what a fucking moment.

Sephiroth... the motorcycle race.. the snowboarding.. sneaking into the Shinra building.. the apocalyptic ending.. fuck yes!

I also loved how YUFFIE and VINCENT (who is overrated as fuck) are secret characters.

My party was always RED XIII, Tifa, and Cloud.

Great fucking game.

noisereductions · 04.03.2011, 09:26 AM

Been playing thru it again for the first time in at least 8 years for an article I'm working on.

deflinus · 04.03.2011, 10:01 AM

i remember a friend of mine had the pc version. which intrigued me

play parappa the rappa instead!!

EVOLghost · 04.03.2011, 01:55 PM

yeah best game ever. I was just telling my cousin how it's due for another play through. But.....instead I'm goin' (err more)retro..

Silent Dan Speaks · 04.03.2011, 10:53 PM

When I was younger I'd play through it every summer. Man, those were good times.

floatingslowly · 04.04.2011, 09:58 AM

we never found out of thindarkduke went on to PLAY teh GAME.

suspense. has. killed.

Derek · 04.04.2011, 10:31 AM

I assume thindarkduke started to play the game, dropped out of school and is now working at Arby's to pay for his slum apartment in the middle of nowhere.

deflinus · 04.04.2011, 10:50 AM

aaah that sounds like the perfect life

floatingslowly · 04.04.2011, 11:44 AM

you negative nancys assume that he wasnt SO FUCKING GOOD that Cloud himself didnt descend from the sky in a giant 1058483-prop airship and explain than FFVII was just an intergalactic test designed to find the best and then recruited thindarkdude13 to save the universe by becoming The Last Chocobo Breeder.
