I'm actually in the middle of doing a lot of things, but I had to post this here!
QUAKE IS THE BEST MAGIC EVER. Er, Materia. I don't know about other games, other FF - I didn't use it much. However, in Zack's playthrough in Crisis Core? Real-time battles where you don't want to get too close to the enemy?
QUAKE.
QUAKE.
QUAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE.
Of course, I didn't even get this materia until my second playthrough. I'm inching through the game slowly *super slowly - I re-started it months ago* and am trying to get every single mission completed. I'm at 50% (holy shit, I never make it that far in any side quest ilu Zack) and I'm really trying, realllyyy trying. I doubt I'll get everyone though, because I missed a Wutai spy, dammit. I think that could only be done at a certain time.
thedrowned, it turns out I have a question about this too, if you know - do you recall the Wutai spies? You chase around Sector 7 and such until you get all of them. I found them all except the last one, because the detail for the last spy was so vague. I probably missed it. >___< Actually, I should probably look at a walkthrough for this game...because I want to do the Nibelheim sidequests VERY BADLY this time.
...OMG.
I didn't even think it MIGHT HAVE A GUIDE. Oh, dammit, Jade. You need this one for the sidequests much more than the 3rd Birthday guide. It's helpful and all, but it has a lot of tips for people who are going to play the game on "Deadly" and "Insane" and well, lol, no.
Hmm, I'll have to get that eventually. The CC guide, that is. Do you happen to know the Nibelheim quest stuff, Kadaj? Or I could stop asking you and look at gamefaqs. It's just. Friends > Gamefaqs. xD
Wow, that got off track. MY POINT. Is that Quake is the coolest of the cool. I was doing a mission that owned me in the first playthrough, because the enemies keep coming and coming. I'd just run to a safe distance and QUAKE. You're probably wondering what I do if there's a flying enemy - I just use a Blizzaga/Hell Blizzaga, or Hell Thundaga, if it's a machine. Gotta love Thunder effects. (I completely ignore Fire materia, heh. I don't even know what it looks like being used. xD)
Ahem, ahem. Okay, a question about FFVII, again, I could look at gamefaqs, but yeah. Maybe I heard it, and forgot? I don't know. I was confused as what to do after this point:
We finished up the Huge Materia stuff and got Cloud back, did the Underwater Reactor stuff, etc, did all that - then we went to Cosmo Canyon to pick up Bugenhagen, (I have major beef with his character design and wtf how is he related to an animal and he FLOATS and his ho ho ho's bug me and how would you even say his name!?) anywho - after we pick him up I'm...not sure what to do. I went on the Highwind, and the whole group was talking about Jade Aerith, but nobody said directly what I should do.
...What's next? I'm not really sure where to go if they're talking about her? I thought maybe her house in Midgar, or the place that she died...but I wasn't sure, so I just shut the game off, because I didn't want to fly around the whole damn place all night searching.
Anywho, besides that - I really liked everyone discussing Aerith again. It was nice to hear their thoughts. I especially liked Cid & Tifa's thoughts - she wanted to live more, and Cid would have given her a ride on the Highwind. Aw.
Oh, and uh. This is probably stupid, but WHO is Cait Sith? They sort of showed his spy looking over a meeting with gya ha ha and kya ha ha but uh, the graphics were kind of bad, and I couldn't tell who he was. >__< I'm thinking it's Tseng? ....I hope it's Tseng? Speaking of which, does Tseng live through this game!? I was so concerned when I saw him get hurt at the Temple of the Ancients. I ADORE TSENG. D:
Oh wow, I ramble. Considering I have other stuff to do today, I need to stop blabbing. I have a lot of things to do online. Lots of people to respond to. Loving people. I feel really loved, reading nice stuff when I woke up.
PS: My party since Aerith died (sniffle) has been Cloud/Tifa/Yuffie, and when Cloud was gone, I bumped Cid in there, and then when Tifa was gone, I bumped Vincent in there. They're my back-ups.
PPS: I named Cid 'Rush' simply because I remembered his character was fascinated with space. Lolz, Stargate joke. Too bad you can't name Shera, his little scientist buddy. I'd have named her Chloe, haha. She's really sweet. I like Cid/Shera.
