Shall we move it then? Just why is Cait Sith a thing when we have best cat Red?

Because of that cute little dance he does when giving fortunes, of course!

Spoiler

because we needed a Shinra spy and a fat robot cat was the best option.

here's a wiki page with some version differences listed out:

Final Fantasy VII version differences

The following is a list of version differences between releases of the original Final Fantasy VII. The versions primarily covered are of the original PlayStation release, and the PC port which it is based on, as they are the two significant releases for the game. Re-releases are based on either...

and this is the best map that i could find for ff7.

 

[solnK!]

My favourite games are VII and IX.
I managed to make my cousin play the first one on gba this week.

i was playing the ff7 demake and there was a very cute flower merchant selling some reasonably priced flowers. she was very charming so i bought one. i then decided to make a drawing based off of this character.
here are some screenshots:

and here is my artistic interpretation of this 8-bit cutie. [i took some artistic liberties in a couple of spots.]

Spoiler: A flower merchant too cute for the internet

I must be stupid or something.
I wandered around Fort Condor and the surrounding area multiple times before I finally found Junon. I played the game a long time ago, but on the PS1, not this PC port port, and I swear I remember the location being a lot closer and in a different direction. I wonder if they changed the map for the PC port.

Also I can't seem to find and recruit Yuffie, but I might hold off anyway so I can use her to wrong warp. The goal is to wrong warp into the debug room so I can change some values, and eventually take Yuffie on the date, but I don't know if I'll be able to do both honestly. I may have to skip getting her for awhile, and I still don't know if I'll be able to do both the Yuffie date and the Wutai sidequest. So many questions.

What the hell is fort condor? That city with the big dingus at the cost? What are you even planning on doing? Wrong warp debug???

they might have made some changes; i doubt it, but it's possible. i'll do some checking and see.
i think yuffie shows up in forest areas. that where i encountered her. and where my dislike of her started to grow.

She fooled me twice yes i was pissed that i got made fun of by an underage tomboy ninja but come on man she ain't bad she is really funny and her stealing my materia although very annoying didn't hurt that much cuz i spent 3 days running around looking for the Blackstone before finally recruiting her prior to finding it i grinded these storm eagles to death , yuffie is goated man.

Cuz , i never liked cait sith found him bothersome in fact when he gave the Blackstone to shina ra i stripped him of all materia and never had him in the party again , fuck cait sith he did redeem himself but still....

Isn't Yuffie like 16

Cloud doing some haram stuff? Won't be first time

Yes
Yuffie warping to the debug room and get what I can from there.

Care to explain what the debug room is

i messed up so much trying to recruit her that she took most of my materia. that was very annoying and frustrating during my first and only playthrough of the game.

Same i only played FF7 once really all FF games i played only once , what i did was use emulator save to choose different responses after i had her name screen pop up (still got fooled) but yeah after that it was smooth sailing (aside from stolen materia)

Some sort of challenge?

Some sort of challenge?

nope. first time playing the game. a friend of mine has all of the psx final fantasy games and he let me borrow ff7, 8 and 9. i got to the end of disc 1 for 8, the safer sephiroth battle in 7 and i ended up beat 9 sometime later. and then again on the psp. and now i'm slowly working on beating the pc and switch editions.

Any news about the Final Fantasy 9 remake we heard of?

i forgot that was a thing.

Post automatically merged: Aug 6, 2025

i did some checking. there are rumors that it might have been cancelled, but it seems unlikely.
i would guess that they aren't very far along enough yet to show anything off to the public yet.

I've been meaning to start FFVIII for a bit now but I honestly have no idea which version I should pick. I like some of the improvements brought by the remastered edition (though to be fair, I feel like most of those could be replicated in duckstation??) but I LOATHE the forced bilinear filtering in the pre rendered backgrounds (though at least it doesn't affect the fonts like in the FFVII port.) What's the generally agreed upon "best way to play" this game as of 2025?

i'd say just go with the psx release. maybe one of the hacks that adds in cut content. that would be the best choice.

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking. The modern ports for the PSX era games all have these mildly annoying to extremely irritating little issues and are sometimes just plain missing features like analog controls and such, not to mention the censorship with some of the character models in VIII specifically (how come Ifrit is allowed to show bush but Siren isn't?? Double standards, Squenix! )

All jokes aside though, it's a shame that such an iconic and influential franchise is in this level of disregard with its re releases in modern platforms...

yeah, square enix doesn't seem to like the earlier stuff from square soft. they only give 7 any attention because it sells well. most of the other installments in the series are far more deserving of attention.

Anybody else re-colour Cloud's costume in Lightning Returns to look like farmer's overalls?

The modern port of VII didn't get as much attention as VIII or IX. Also, the only pre-localisation department FF to not have been officially retranslated. They may like VII as an IP. As a game, not so much.

i think that was because the remake game was in development at the time. since the remake came out a year after the switch and xbox one release of ff7 classic, why pour extra effort into that when it could go to the new version?
still not an excuse to skip out on making improvements, especially since there is a pc port, which is basically the complete set of raw data used to make the game, which came out in 2000. they had plenty of time to stick a couple of employees on it and slowly and steadily work on improving and even incorporating new content into the game as well.
