That's not the issue here, idiot, think a little more rationally. ... The real issue is that he can use it more than once .-. if he already blew up the solar system, WHY AM I WATCHING THE SAME CUTSCENE OVER AND OVER AGAIN I'm not really calling you an idiot lol. That final battle was annoying.
XxsuperstudlyxX Also, the "thing" is shown approaching the very wrong part of the milky way, furthermore, if it were an intergalactic object, approaching it to the point where the galaxy zoomed that fast would mean that object was moving at about 3 or 400 million times the speed of light. Lol Also, the equations present in the animation didn't have much to do with what was going on.
It looked awesome the first time, and was scary as hell because you KNEW it was going to kill everyone in your party, until it didn't, and then you're like, okay that was a little cool. And then he does it again and you're like oh my god stop
That's because they had materia, =P ORJupiter, Venus and the like were not protected by Aries/Aerith and the ancients LOL video game sense. Doesn't Tifa run round the entire planet and then punch someone, only to barely scratch them...
I'm sure there are several chat log secrets, but the one with Cloud and Aerith meeting in the cathedral was funny to me. Once you can control Cloud head towards the doorway (before Reno walks in). You can talk to Reno on the right side behind the door and he'll say something to the effect of "I'll give you two a little more time." Priceless
right in the feels man... Seriously though I never played the game but I did watch the "movie" on RUclips of it and my God it's a shame most FFVII will never know that story. It gives a completely different perspective on Cloud. I remember being piiiissseed that Cloud wasn't really the hero I thought he was. Crisis Core redeemed that.
@@S-Groove I mean, she's a kid, I don't really know her backstory that much since I'm going through the game for the first time now but yeah, she might not react that well to death even if it's someone she barely even interacted with
@@S-Groove I see it as Yuffie's immaturity trying to make everyone think she's not invested for a lot of the first disc but she really does. I hope they use this in Rebirth to build Yuffie and Aerith's relationship as some of the other party members might not warm up to her (Barrett for sure). Aerith being the one true friend Yuffie has in the group up to that point would be absolutely crushing if she dies again.
It's a good thing Cloud intuitively knows his own body temperature. I can't even count the many times knowing my own precise body temperature would've been useful.
@@Waterbottlez_ I meant that since this comment was made, when knowing your body temperature was important but not as much as now, things have worsened, at least on this matter. Apart from this, I agree it'd be useful.
I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I have a little bit of Fort Condor trivia you didn't cover. If you deploy only one unit as low as you can, and move him forward until you see the enemy, you can deploy more troops practically right on top of the enemy as they pop on-screen. This has another side-effect you might not expect. If you kill all of the enemies on the battlefield, you win the match. This is true, even if the commander hasn't appeared on the battlefield yet.
Played this game 30+ times, my childhood was this game. Was obsessed with it. Beat the emerald without underwater meteria first time because I didn't knew it excisted.
You have to say, "with updated graphics" or else they would just sell you the same game you could go download for free. But yes I would also absolutely pay $2000 just to play a remake of this game. It needs updated graphics and voice acting (cool actors please) and the gameplay and storyline need to stay 100% the same. I don't want an alternate path or extra easter eggs. I want the same game from when I was 12, just better. I have a lot of money to put towards it because I love it so much.
eight year old comment but maybe the mako-infused planet in ffvii is stronger or something? i dunno i think the devs would have to be really stupid for that to fly over their heads
I got one: During the cutscene when you see what REALLY happened at Nibelheim (the one you have with Tifa), the overland music starts playing. During this time you can't press X to skip the dialogue boxes because they appear for fixed amounts of time. This is because the visuals on screen are meant to sync up with the music. Both the scene and music come to a climax with [someone] getting thrown down shaft. Now this isn't particularly fascinating unless your a PAL console gamer... because in the PAL release the music and visuals go completely out of sync (by about 15 seconds). I only picked up on this because i've played both an NTSC and PAL copy of the game.
I didnt care about Aeris' death at first...!.....however....what I loved was right after she died you have to fight Jenova. And....it is the first fight without the boss or battle music. You fight Jenova with Aeris' theme. It just brings a whole new feeling to the fight. Then I felt sad she died. One of my favourite boss battles!!!!!
@@JuddMan03 I disagree completelly, I think that there are few moments in the game when you have so much hatred for the villains like in this one, so if they made this battle harder it would be even more memorable.
its an obscure little thing where if you go to the top of one of the buildings in Kalm and press the action button while facing one of the windows, you can look out of it and get a slightly different look at the town. It's really nothing special but it's cool nonetheless because it's really obscure and was only discovered (fairly) recently. Like within the past 5 or 6 years
#101 chocobos max speed is 176 km- for ps1 version. Thanks for posting. Not sure why people feel the necessity to leave negative comments. Nobody asked them to watch it. I love all the Final Fantasy games personally.
I love how each party member has their own unique dialogue during your travels between main story beats. In Yuffie's case I think it added so much to ger personality, She really is an energetic airhead who also kicks ass when things get serious I always have her in my party. Her reaction to Aerith's death was heartbreaking, I only got her midway through disc 2 on my first play through but took a liking to her. On my second play through I got her early and that scene sealed the deal, It felt like a character break moment where she shows how much she really cares I think a lot of people misjudge her.
She was run thought with a 6 foot long sword and then left unattended in a battle arena for at least 15 minutes with an open wound through the abdomen...yeah, she was fucking dead.
Getting stabbed through the abdomen with a sword which is then removed from the wound would be a very quick death, The shock would be almost immediate and the blood loss devastating within minutes. As someone pointed out above the battle which ensues takes around 15 minutes too! Let's just say it's heavily implied she was dead, I'm willing to trust that implication.
Steam version is PSF files, ripped from the PS1 version. The original PC version, which for those young ones did come with midi. However, back in the day, if you wanted superior audio quality with lifelike samples, you bought a midi sampler, usually Yamaha, or Roland. Some stuff played through those samplers, are way better than the PS1 music. Everything now adays reverts to MS wavetable, which is horrific.
In the scene when Sephiroth kills Aeris, the reason he "obtains" gloves is because when they first made that scene, it was set in the Northern cave (Aeris was meant to die in part of the northern cave instead of at the end of disk 1) and when they changed it, the sephiroth they was following had gloves. Also, the floor changes the pattern in that scene... The checkered floor is the Jenova pedestal and the solid colour is the floor of the cave.
Number 81 - the gondola FMV sequences - blew my mind. I NEVER thought to go back there again, and even after completing FF7 countless times this is the first time I've ever seen all the FMVs not shown in the date sequence. Holy shit
"Spells" like Supernova are so ridiculous it's why I love Final Fantasy. You really have to suspend disbelief. So Sephiroth is trying to summon a Meteor with Black Materia to destroy Gaia, yet he can cast a "spell" which nukes the entire solar system lmao.. Also it's implying that this entire game is taking place on Earth and not a fictional planetoid.
FFIV is confirmed to take place on Earth (as in the 3rd rock from the sun, Earth). The planet in FFVIII is called Earth and in other games, Gaia. If you research the concept of "Sephiroth", which is referenced in Supernova, it is based in our solar system.
cloudparter I believe that, despite the planet being called 'Gaia' it is supposed to be Earth. As far as I know, in Mythology there is a goddess named Gaia and she is the Goddess of... The Earth. lol en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_(mythology)
Great video, but some of the text is un-readable, due to very poor contrast. It's okay though, the amount of work you put in, makes this an awesome video regardless. Thanks so much for posting this, I learned stuff I'm glad to know now.
Playing this game for the first time completely changed my view on video games. Never before or after had I been so deeply invested in pixelated characters and their made up world. Even after so many years cosmo canyon song sends chills lol
"KotR does not work with quadra magic." Thank god... Sitting through that four times? No thanks. After beating the weapons I will never summon KotR again!
This was pretty cool. I knew a lot of these already, but it was cool to see some that I didn't know about, too. Though there were a few issues... #20 is incorrect. You can still buy the Ultima materia for 50,000 gil if you fail. You get it for free if you succeed. #34. I'm not quite sure what you meant on this one. If by "respawn" you meant where he flies after taking some damage, then this is incorrect. There are plenty of places for him to fly to before Cosmo Canyon that aren't the Junon crater. I don't know if I'd count #43. I thought you were showing off a glitch, but this seems more like something stupid that someone could have to really go out of their way to accomplish. If someone stumbled on this, SOMEHOW, by accident, I'd recommend they reload a save and stop being dumb with their Highwind and chocobo choices.
+Koru-chan if you fail the train huge material quest you can only get it if you haven't beat the person controlling the train if you beat him and fail at that part you cant get it because it seems like you crashed it.
+Koru-chan #34 uh no. he means that that's where he STARTS flying from after every battle. where he ends up stopping at is different. seemed pretty clear to me.
46:50 : .... Ooow.... I never cared that much about Aerith's death (when I was 9 just as much as today at 32, lol. Sorry), but damn, Yuffie's reaction makes me feel sadder than Aerith's death itself :'( ...
As for the final Fort Condor battle, you *want* to throw the "minigame" battle, because the Cmdr. Grand Horn you fight holds an Imperial Guard you can steal. One of the only sources of that armor in the game. Obviously you don't want to get killed by him, but he's super weak so it's not likely.
I used to be one of those people who clamored for a FF7 remake. I'm currently in replaying the game (for about the 8th or 9th time since it's '97 release) and I now feel Square shouldn't do it. A remake would mean building the game from the ground up and given the way Square handles its games now, I feel it would ultimately leave us all disappointed. There are some who would love a more accurate scale of the world map and others who love the map the way it is. Many want to be able to seamlessly walk into towns and places in the world map but I feel that would be a mistake, it'd take away from what made the game great and memorable which the graphics, for better or worse, were a part of. I'd rather them focus on making a new FF that can surpass FF7 instead.
agreed, that's why Square announced that "[we] will only consider this remake once a brand new game in the franchise exceeds the quality of that found in FF7."
Bobby Hill agree with your point though, the 97 square team is dead and we might never find what we loved in it. Especially, i feel like their priorities have changed (in terms of the render of the game). Looks like they are talking to a public of J-pop or K-pop in their way of designing the games. (no need to say i hate it)
Daniel M I kind of disagree. Look at the magic that was created with the Final Fantasy IV remakes. The DS remake was pretty much a different game, and there were many corrections made to the GBA version in Complete Collection. I for one would love to see a Final Fantasy VII remake that is not unlike the Final Fantasy IV one for DS and now PC, with voice acting, secret dungeons etc. Although I could probably say that for 5-9 as well. Save for 8. That game needs to be left alone.
20 I believe is incorrect. I once did not catch up to the train and it crashed into Corel. The ultima materia is then sold to you at a very high price, which I was able to obtain later on.
What fascinates me with this game is that we clearly showed a world where corporatocracy dominates the world and destroys it with pollution ... the same thing is now happening on earth ..
OK, I finally have an explanation to your 63 about Blade Beam and why it's wrong. Blade Beam is completely Physical, but there are some peculiarities about it that set it apart from any other action. To understand this you need to know how the game prioritizes actions. There are five levels of action priorities that are given. When the game determines what action to perform next it looks through the queued actions (there can be up to 100 queued actions) and will assign the first level 0 action to be the next action. If there isn't one it assigns the first level 1 action, etc. Only one action can be going on at one time. Now there are three conflicts at work here. First, counters have a higher priority than Limit Breaks. This is so if you have multiple limits queued that counters can still be performed between them. Second, Blade Beam is actually two separate attacks. The wave that Cloud does and the after-shockwave that hits nearby targets. They are both queued as limit actions so in order for the entire limit break to not be interrupted, the first Blade Beam action actually prevents counters from being queued at all until it performs the after-shockwave check which re-enables them. Thirdly, the after-shockwave will not be queued if there is only one enemy. If it is triggered it will actually be considered as having connected with the original target even though it will do no damage or give any indication that it connected. That's the action that triggers the physical counters and will affect the original target. If it doesn't happen, the original target won't initiate a physical counter attack. It's different from other chained actions like Satan Slam because Satan Slam doesn't actually queue an additional action, but is chained to a second one and the action is not considered complete until the chain is finished. Actions like Comet2/KoR/Omnislash are singular actions with multiple damage calculations. Since I've debunked (or at least explained) your 63rd item I'll propose a new one: Damage is actually done before any actor performs an attack animation. As a correlation, targets are actually considered "dead" before the damage indicator shows up. They only perform their death animation as a result of their "damage reaction" animation. Some enemies don't actually die at the end of battle either. Battles end under four conditions: 1) all enemies have 0 HP and flagged as dead 2) all allies are either removed from battle or have 0 HP 3) all enemies' main scripts have been disabled (happens a lot with boss minions and "set pieces" like Ghirofelgo's chain) 4) no "final attack" actions are queued
-101- They're not "Limit Breaks," they're actually just "Limits." If you don't believe me just pay attention to the tutorial. The move is called a Limit, and the Break level refers to filling up the gauge and activating a Limit. When this happens during battle, a message pops up saying "LIMIT BREAK" which simply means "Limit activated" or "Limit available." For almost 20 years we've all been incorrectly calling them Limit Breaks.
Although true, simply calling it a "limit" makes no sense. Calling it a "limit break" however does make sense as it insinuates that they break their normal physical limits to execute an insanely powerful attack.
There's nothing remotely nonsensical about calling the moves "Limits." Yes, the terms were obviously chosen to allude to being pushed to the breaking point and reaching the limit of what you can take. That's why the mode of activation is called a "break level."
i would say that the most time consuming portion of a perfect save file is the hundreds of hours in the sunken gelinka morphing for all the sources for all the characters to get capped..
I initially misread the title as "10" and was deeply impressed that you managed to stretch that to an hour-length presentation. I am still impressed, lest you worry.
lol is that your idea of constructive criticism or do you like to just state the obvious? Ya know what would have really made the video shorter? Forget having any game play at all and just make a huge wall of txt scrolling down telling us the things we didn't know about FF7. Or just skip it entirely and just have a 5 second message telling us how stupid we are and just to go play the god damn game
Michael Haynes Constructive criticism. I thought this vid would be great to watch, but after the first couple minutes I noticed how much filler could have been snipped out. There's no way I'm watching this thing. And it definitely doesn't help that the gameplay is slowed down too. Watching knights of the round in slow motion isn't how I want to spend my time.
machinimamarlon the most of these tips are not true or are useless as hell, so.. please... I was here to find out something new, but all these lies made me just bored... he just want the damn klicks and likes, because almost noone knows much about Final Fantasy 7! But hey... it works... :D
This video doesn't even touch on the fact that you can resurrect Aeris with four tissues and a Mastered revive materia. It's also the reason that you can't sell Cloud's basic buster sword - Because it's essential for this.
Betty also makes you explore more of Wall Market in search of music. So you're right, she is a child and her quests represent the more playful explorative nature of the game. If you don't do her quests, chances are you are the kind to have skipped all the side quests and wouldn't notice little things anyway. James, I watched your stream of the OG FF7, and while you really like the game, some of us are obsessed with it, because we spent time as children checking out every corner and fully explored the game (similar to what a figurative Betty would do) in order to have a deep connection to it. If you have time, check out the "100 Things you didn't know about FF7" video to get a glimpse of how much thought went behind this game.
I wonder if he replayed the game every single time, naming himself AP: and 60,000 just to record that one portion of the game and every other time in the game.
I never knew that about Yuffie's animation and Aeris' death. (I usually have Tiffa and RedXIII in my group) but it makes sense since she is suppose to be the youngest member of the group.
Another glitch I encountered was if you have at least 8 Enount-Ups on your party there's a chance for a double encounter but the game will crash after you beat the battle because the battle start up animation will begin after the previous battle. And sometimes the soundtrack will overlap. I did this when I was leveling up my Materia in the Northern Crater on Disc 3.
You missed one of the most interesting thing ! : Yuffie calling Tifa "Boobs", if you happen to encounter Yuffie during the short time where Tifa is the party leader.
Heres something you might not know.. My FF7 game crashed when i fought yuffie in the forest and was at the part of the game where i had just got the highwind so cloud wasnt with me. Guess the game didnt know what to do
Doesn't W-summon use a summon magic twice? And then you can use mime, on the other 2 characters, which means you can chain 6 knights of the round together in 3 moves. Would take forever though. Imagine if quadra magic did work on it, in conjunction with mime...that'd be knights of the round 12 times in a row!
The helicopter spinning out of control reminded me of a scene from The Simpsons (I think) where the pilot got sick and had lost control of his helicopter, causing him to fly into everything in his path. In my opinion, that was the best scene ever.
The music sounds like Cloud bought a copy of the OST for 10 gil from Wall Market.
Lmao

Getting stabbed through the abdomen with a sword which is then removed from the wound would be a very quick death, The shock would be almost immediate and the blood loss devastating within minutes. As someone pointed out above the battle which ensues takes around 15 minutes too!
Let's just say it's heavily implied she was dead, I'm willing to trust that implication.
Watch the game theorists take on the stab. It probably would not have killed her just paralyzed her.
Game Theorists, eh?
Whoever this 'one' guy is, has a lot to do in this game
Damn the PC version really kills the music
the Steam version is fine, but yeah the ancient PC disc version sucks
really? cus FF8 had crap midi quality on Steam :(
Amanda S I disagree. I reckon the steam versions music is too bright.
Steam version is PSF files, ripped from the PS1 version.
The original PC version, which for those young ones did come with midi. However, back in the day, if you wanted superior audio quality with lifelike samples, you bought a midi sampler, usually Yamaha, or Roland. Some stuff played through those samplers, are way better than the PS1 music. Everything now adays reverts to MS wavetable, which is horrific.
Mods ^^
I like how during the entire Supernova, it never once hits Mars
Honorable mention: The enemy Mover in north crater also yields the highest amount of AP among all normal enemies. (3 non boss enemies get you 2400 AP)
I can't believe I watched it all.
veeone a pity
100 things that I DON'T know about FF7?! Challenge accepted!
You win.
In the scene when Sephiroth kills Aeris, the reason he "obtains" gloves is because when they first made that scene, it was set in the Northern cave (Aeris was meant to die in part of the northern cave instead of at the end of disk 1) and when they changed it, the sephiroth they was following had gloves. Also, the floor changes the pattern in that scene... The checkered floor is the Jenova pedestal and the solid colour is the floor of the cave.
I remember reading about that theory at the ff7 Citadel years ago. Back in the site's hey day. Good times
Number 81 - the gondola FMV sequences - blew my mind. I NEVER thought to go back there again, and even after completing FF7 countless times this is the first time I've ever seen all the FMVs not shown in the date sequence. Holy shit
text is sometimes hard to read :'(
37:14 Cait Sith was killed by ISIS
Oh shit, BRB... Hold muh WMDs...
I like how he includes everything, from the buggy things, to the glitched/hacked things. It's cool.
"Spells" like Supernova are so ridiculous it's why I love Final Fantasy. You really have to suspend disbelief. So Sephiroth is trying to summon a Meteor with Black Materia to destroy Gaia, yet he can cast a "spell" which nukes the entire solar system lmao.. Also it's implying that this entire game is taking place on Earth and not a fictional planetoid.
FFIV is confirmed to take place on Earth (as in the 3rd rock from the sun, Earth). The planet in FFVIII is called Earth and in other games, Gaia. If you research the concept of "Sephiroth", which is referenced in Supernova, it is based in our solar system.
cloudparter I believe that, despite the planet being called 'Gaia' it is supposed to be Earth. As far as I know, in Mythology there is a goddess named Gaia and she is the Goddess of... The Earth. lol

Awww poor yuffie, clinging to cloud, SO CUTE!
I like how Cid slep during all Gondola ride)))
Great video, but some of the text is un-readable, due to very poor contrast. It's okay though, the amount of work you put in, makes this an awesome video regardless. Thanks so much for posting this, I learned stuff I'm glad to know now.
I knew about 9 of these. This is such a cool video with some very funny facts. Very informative, learned a lot, thank you for sharing.
The "Changed into Highwind" message when you morphed the Tiny Bronco was clever, I lol'd.
This is really making me feel like playing this old gem again...
Just got the re-release on Steam... I have no regrets.
Playing this game for the first time completely changed my view on video games. Never before or after had I been so deeply invested in pixelated characters and their made up world. Even after so many years cosmo canyon song sends chills lol
"KotR does not work with quadra magic."
Thank god... Sitting through that four times? No thanks. After beating the weapons I will never summon KotR again!
#101: Dazers can paralyze even the freaking Ruby Weapon, albeit for a short period of time.
Im surprised you didn't have Cid or Tifa getting Yuffie on the world map . Or dating Yuffie or Barret.
I never knew the music from the PC port sounded so bad.
This was pretty cool. I knew a lot of these already, but it was cool to see some that I didn't know about, too. Though there were a few issues...
#20 is incorrect. You can still buy the Ultima materia for 50,000 gil if you fail. You get it for free if you succeed.
#34. I'm not quite sure what you meant on this one. If by "respawn" you meant where he flies after taking some damage, then this is incorrect. There are plenty of places for him to fly to before Cosmo Canyon that aren't the Junon crater.
I don't know if I'd count #43. I thought you were showing off a glitch, but this seems more like something stupid that someone could have to really go out of their way to accomplish. If someone stumbled on this, SOMEHOW, by accident, I'd recommend they reload a save and stop being dumb with their Highwind and chocobo choices.
+Koru-chan if you fail the train huge material quest you can only get it if you haven't beat the person controlling the train if you beat him and fail at that part you cant get it because it seems like you crashed it.
+Koru-chan #34 uh no. he means that that's where he STARTS flying from after every battle. where he ends up stopping at is different. seemed pretty clear to me.

+Benjamin F. I mean 20

FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN, CJ!
Bro did you seriously name Nanaki "doggie"??
LOL
I've never tried this, but I heard that if the train hits Corel, you can buy Ultima for 50K
I believe that's correct.
It is, I failed the first time around and got it.
Fail to catch up to train: No reward
Get on the train but fail to stop: 50k price tag
Stop the train: Free
46:50 : .... Ooow.... I never cared that much about Aerith's death (when I was 9 just as much as today at 32, lol. Sorry), but damn, Yuffie's reaction makes me feel sadder than Aerith's death itself :'( ...
As for the final Fort Condor battle, you *want* to throw the "minigame" battle, because the Cmdr. Grand Horn you fight holds an Imperial Guard you can steal. One of the only sources of that armor in the game. Obviously you don't want to get killed by him, but he's super weak so it's not likely.

"At least remember my name!

I used to be one of those people who clamored for a FF7 remake. I'm currently in replaying the game (for about the 8th or 9th time since it's '97 release) and I now feel Square shouldn't do it. A remake would mean building the game from the ground up and given the way Square handles its games now, I feel it would ultimately leave us all disappointed. There are some who would love a more accurate scale of the world map and others who love the map the way it is. Many want to be able to seamlessly walk into towns and places in the world map but I feel that would be a mistake, it'd take away from what made the game great and memorable which the graphics, for better or worse, were a part of. I'd rather them focus on making a new FF that can surpass FF7 instead.
agreed, that's why Square announced that "[we] will only consider this remake once a brand new game in the franchise exceeds the quality of that found in FF7."
Bobby Hill waw... it sounds like we can wait... looking at the current quality of the FF
Bobby Hill agree with your point though, the 97 square team is dead and we might never find what we loved in it. Especially, i feel like their priorities have changed (in terms of the render of the game). Looks like they are talking to a public of J-pop or K-pop in their way of designing the games. (no need to say i hate it)
Daniel M I kind of disagree. Look at the magic that was created with the Final Fantasy IV remakes. The DS remake was pretty much a different game, and there were many corrections made to the GBA version in Complete Collection. I for one would love to see a Final Fantasy VII remake that is not unlike the Final Fantasy IV one for DS and now PC, with voice acting, secret dungeons etc. Although I could probably say that for 5-9 as well. Save for 8. That game needs to be left alone.
Daniel M They already made a game that can surpass FFVII. They named it FFX.
20 I believe is incorrect. I once did not catch up to the train and it crashed into Corel. The ultima materia is then sold to you at a very high price, which I was able to obtain later on.
Thats only if you catch up to the train, but don't manage to stop it.
What fascinates me with this game is that we clearly showed a world where corporatocracy dominates the world and destroys it with pollution ... the same thing is now happening on earth ..
I was a bit sceptical about this video at first, but I'm actually glad to say that I'm impressed. You have created a very entertaining video! Thanks.
OK, I finally have an explanation to your 63 about Blade Beam and why it's wrong. Blade Beam is completely Physical, but there are some peculiarities about it that set it apart from any other action.
To understand this you need to know how the game prioritizes actions. There are five levels of action priorities that are given. When the game determines what action to perform next it looks through the queued actions (there can be up to 100 queued actions) and will assign the first level 0 action to be the next action. If there isn't one it assigns the first level 1 action, etc. Only one action can be going on at one time.
Now there are three conflicts at work here. First, counters have a higher priority than Limit Breaks. This is so if you have multiple limits queued that counters can still be performed between them. Second, Blade Beam is actually two separate attacks. The wave that Cloud does and the after-shockwave that hits nearby targets. They are both queued as limit actions so in order for the entire limit break to not be interrupted, the first Blade Beam action actually prevents counters from being queued at all until it performs the after-shockwave check which re-enables them. Thirdly, the after-shockwave will not be queued if there is only one enemy. If it is triggered it will actually be considered as having connected with the original target even though it will do no damage or give any indication that it connected. That's the action that triggers the physical counters and will affect the original target. If it doesn't happen, the original target won't initiate a physical counter attack.
It's different from other chained actions like Satan Slam because Satan Slam doesn't actually queue an additional action, but is chained to a second one and the action is not considered complete until the chain is finished. Actions like Comet2/KoR/Omnislash are singular actions with multiple damage calculations.
Since I've debunked (or at least explained) your 63rd item I'll propose a new one:
Damage is actually done before any actor performs an attack animation. As a correlation, targets are actually considered "dead" before the damage indicator shows up. They only perform their death animation as a result of their "damage reaction" animation. Some enemies don't actually die at the end of battle either. Battles end under four conditions:
1) all enemies have 0 HP and flagged as dead
2) all allies are either removed from battle or have 0 HP
3) all enemies' main scripts have been disabled (happens a lot with boss minions and "set pieces" like Ghirofelgo's chain)
4) no "final attack" actions are queued
That's interesting. Blade Beam certainly is a unique attack at least after all then.
Also did you know that when you access the extra space behind reactor 5 you ONLY fight screamers. Makes power source farming much simpler.
wow I am a ff7 veteran and I learnt some things from this video, great stuff.
101 - It is possible to pernatently lose the materia Underwater if you reach the maximum amount of materias in your inventory.
37:54 true. Yuffie didn't steal all my materia.
-101- They're not "Limit Breaks," they're actually just "Limits." If you don't believe me just pay attention to the tutorial. The move is called a Limit, and the Break level refers to filling up the gauge and activating a Limit. When this happens during battle, a message pops up saying "LIMIT BREAK" which simply means "Limit activated" or "Limit available." For almost 20 years we've all been incorrectly calling them Limit Breaks.
and we will continue lol
+Eckoz Slovakia No doubt homie
Although true, simply calling it a "limit" makes no sense. Calling it a "limit break" however does make sense as it insinuates that they break their normal physical limits to execute an insanely powerful attack.
There's nothing remotely nonsensical about calling the moves "Limits." Yes, the terms were obviously chosen to allude to being pushed to the breaking point and reaching the limit of what you can take. That's why the mode of activation is called a "break level."
+Druffmaul It makes more sense to call it a limit break though. Because the attack exceeds their limit.
"at least remember my name! its google!" I loled
I just come back to this video for the names...
Yeah the names were hillarious
Did he really play many new games just to name the characters differently or did he merely hack the names to change them?
i would say that the most time consuming portion of a perfect save file is the hundreds of hours in the sunken gelinka morphing for all the sources for all the characters to get capped..
the lack of music throughout alot of this video is unsettling
Indeed
Weird, always figured Kjata was Earth elemental too and Typhoon Wind elemental. Mind = Blown.
It's bad that I knew pretty much all of these things. I am addicted.
0:15:00 i suffered that glitch, after like hours of fight, i wanted to die...
That's horrifying!
I initially misread the title as "10" and was deeply impressed that you managed to stretch that to an hour-length presentation.
I am still impressed, lest you worry.
Another thing you might not know is Contain materia cannot target more than one enemy even linked with all or mega all materia.
Video game logic: a BOAT, INSIDE a man made tunnel can throw a character out of battle
And now i have to play FF7 again...... FUCK....
Lmao omnislash with a baseball bat XD
Negan would approve
Omnibash
Omnibat
Thanks a lot for this video! I was expecting something entirely different, and i expected to know a lot more of the 100 things than i did!
Great job!
I just noticed now that you named your party to the SotN intro lines, amazing
Nice video! Pretty long, but very, very interesting!!
You could have made this video a lot shorter with editing.
lol is that your idea of constructive criticism or do you like to just state the obvious? Ya know what would have really made the video shorter? Forget having any game play at all and just make a huge wall of txt scrolling down telling us the things we didn't know about FF7. Or just skip it entirely and just have a 5 second message telling us how stupid we are and just to go play the god damn game
Michael Haynes Constructive criticism. I thought this vid would be great to watch, but after the first couple minutes I noticed how much filler could have been snipped out. There's no way I'm watching this thing. And it definitely doesn't help that the gameplay is slowed down too. Watching knights of the round in slow motion isn't how I want to spend my time.
Michael Haynes HOLY SHIT, MATE, SHUT UP. He's just giving some goddamn tips!
machinimamarlon
the most of these tips are not true or are useless as hell, so.. please... I was here to find out something new, but all these lies made me just bored... he just want the damn klicks and likes, because almost noone knows much about Final Fantasy 7!
But hey... it works... :D
But was he rude or hating with his comment.......no. It's called a "Suggestion"
This video doesn't even touch on the fact that you can resurrect Aeris with four tissues and a Mastered revive materia. It's also the reason that you can't sell Cloud's basic buster sword - Because it's essential for this.
0/10
She cant.
Period.
mistervanderveer she was pregnant!?
...oh wait.
Beyond epic, this game defined the word "milestone".
Betty also makes you explore more of Wall Market in search of music. So you're right, she is a child and her quests represent the more playful explorative nature of the game. If you don't do her quests, chances are you are the kind to have skipped all the side quests and wouldn't notice little things anyway.
James, I watched your stream of the OG FF7, and while you really like the game, some of us are obsessed with it, because we spent time as children checking out every corner and fully explored the game (similar to what a figurative Betty would do) in order to have a deep connection to it.
If you have time, check out the "100 Things you didn't know about FF7" video to get a glimpse of how much thought went behind this game.
I wonder if he replayed the game every single time, naming himself AP: and 60,000 just to record that one portion of the game and every other time in the game.
I think you can chance names (I can chance on android)
some of your texts are cannot be read
Says the guy who can't string together a 8 word sentence properly...
Not everyone speaks English as a first language.

I never knew that about Yuffie's animation and Aeris' death. (I usually have Tiffa and RedXIII in my group) but it makes sense since she is suppose to be the youngest member of the group.
Chu chu . . . Yeah #100 made my jaw drop, I have no idea how you did that, but that's one of the coolest things I've seen. And the guide book, wow!
Another glitch I encountered was if you have at least 8 Enount-Ups on your party there's a chance for a double encounter but the game will crash after you beat the battle because the battle start up animation will begin after the previous battle. And sometimes the soundtrack will overlap. I did this when I was leveling up my Materia in the Northern Crater on Disc 3.
I will admit that after a while I watched it for the names...
"At least remember my name! It's Google!"
I actually appreciated the video without voice over. Great job. Liked.
You missed one of the most interesting thing ! : Yuffie calling Tifa "Boobs", if you happen to encounter Yuffie during the short time where Tifa is the party leader.
Omg I remember that-
I'm at number 1 and I didn't even know you could lose the final cort fondor battle and not get a game over
Heres something you might not know.. My FF7 game crashed when i fought yuffie in the forest and was at the part of the game where i had just got the highwind so cloud wasnt with me. Guess the game didnt know what to do
Falcorr i would try it
Doesn't W-summon use a summon magic twice? And then you can use mime, on the other 2 characters, which means you can chain 6 knights of the round together in 3 moves.
Would take forever though.
Imagine if quadra magic did work on it, in conjunction with mime...that'd be knights of the round 12 times in a row!
did this really need to be an hour long
I enjoyed every minute of it!
The helicopter spinning out of control reminded me of a scene from The Simpsons (I think) where the pilot got sick and had lost control of his helicopter, causing him to fly into everything in his path. In my opinion, that was the best scene ever.
Wow just WOW! Liked and subscribed, that was very enjoyable.
