      @N3bu14Gr4y 4 года назад +16

      I liked it better when it was called "Magicite." It may not have been nearly as versatile, but it actually made wondrous items significant. You could buy Materia in the slums of Midgar, where the Mako was supposedly so drained that it would be impossible to form new Materia naturally. Magicite couldn't be bought in stores until after the seal of the Esper world was broken. Magicite evoked a sense of wonder. Materia was one letter off from being mundane.

    • @Changetheling
      @Changetheling 4 года назад +34

      It's the reason why FFVII rocks and it's different from the rest. Forget all that emoCloud/Ti-ti-Tifa thing. Materias were the name of the game.

      @@N3bu14Gr4y I'm confused you dislike a game mechanic because you can buy all but the rarest of versions throughout the game, but like a game mechanic because you're locked out of it until partway through. In the slums its polluted because it's under the disk, not because there's no make, it's under a reactor which is drawing mako to the area in fact. I get wanting to push your favorite games into a conversation but make sure you're right.

    @theglaiveguy 5 лет назад +325

    Not sure how much value there is in putting this comment on a nearly-six-year-old video, but maybe folks are running nostalgia playthroughs because of the remake, so here ya go:
    - Time+Added Effect also inflicts Stop to those vulnerable to it;
    - Barrett's Ungarmax does better than Omnislash with the Counter-Mime combo if you load Missing Score with high-exp mastered Materia (no overflow needed) - that's 18 hits of 9999, and it's more consistent than Cloud doing 9999 damage with each slash. Not to mention, the animation is much faster;
    - I'm sure people already know, but Mega All + Master Command makes a good combo, and they don't even need to be paired. You can pair Master Command with a suitable Support Materia to your taste. I use it for Morph-All on Barrett (or Yuffie) to Morph whole enemy parties in one shot;
    - Odin + Sneak Attack + Preemptive gives you an FF8 Zantetsuken-style summon;
    - When grinding North Cave, I find it convenient to have Hades + Added Effect on a 4x Cut user. It's mostly for the darn Tonberry King - you get the Stop effect, safe from Everybody's Grudge, and the animation of the 4 swings is much faster than if it was active;
    - If you're on a non-grind or low-grind playthrough, using Demi + Quadra Magic + W-Magic on Emerald (and IIRC works for Ruby, too) is more efficient than opening with Knights of Round, especially if you only have 1 or 2 levels on KOR. You can deal eight shots of 9999 damage with Demi (and the animation is a billion times faster so you won't have to waste a Materia slot for Underwater) then you can move to Knights when Demi 3 is dealing under 5 or 6k, depending on your threshold preference;

      Man FF7's combat system was deep and really fun to experiment with, the watered down materia system in FF& remake makes me kinda sad. Especially since they removed "All" materia.

    I've mastered this game forwards and backwards and you've got some interesting ideas. But here's one you didn't mention that I think is completely broken:
    Mastered Command + HP Absorb || Mastered Command + MP Absorb || Double Cut (4x Cut) + Long Range
    This materia combo will allow you to 4x Cut from max range without losing damage as well as heal you for 4k and restore 400 MP to you after every 4x Cut. This is so broken that I am almost certain Square probably didn't mean for Mastered Command to work this way. I love it though. I can literally defeat every boss in the game simply by 4x Cutting. Emerald and Ruby included. Hope someone enjoys this combo. It's a blast......if you don't mind the game being to stupid easy to beat LOL. Happy Fantasies!

    Good video bro, appreciate the dedication required to test this shizzle. FF7 is a MAJESTIC, yet somewhat unpolished, MASTERPIECE.

  • @ErionAireTam
    @ErionAireTam 6 лет назад +58

    Nice tutorial. :D
    Here come _some_ fixes and details, hoping this could help.
    *All*
    _"All next to any other magic Materia"_
    All does nothing with Comet, Contain, FullCure, Shield, Ultima, Exit Materias and Resist from Heal.
    _"All the enemies on the field"_
    It's the same thing with the allies.
    In a side attack battle, All effect only applies to one group / side.
    Although they seem to be on the allies, you actually can kill 1 or 2 Pyramids and damage Reno at the same time with for example All + Ice, and 1 or 2 Waterpolos and Bottomswell with for example Matra Magic.
    _"If it's mastered you can do it up to five times"_
    Notice that you can combine more than 1 All to add more uses, like with Final attack, Quadra Magic, Mega all and summons.
    You can cast the spell deactivating the all effect pressing R1/Page down before selecting a target (and the remaining All uses won't decrease).
    _"Lowers the attack of the combined Materia down to one third of its original damage"_
    The damage dealt but also the probability of inflicting a status are 2/3 of the original values.
    *Elemental*
    On the armor, lvl 1 Elemental will half the damage & accuracy from the combined element, lvl 2 will nullify the damage and lvl 3 and 4 will Absorb it. If an attack is nullified, it also can't inflict any status. If an attack is absorbed, it also heals the statuses it tried to inflict and inflicts the statuses it tried to heal.
    The main elements are Fire, Ice, Lightning, Earth, Poison, Restorative, Gravity, Wind, Water, Holy. You can combine the Hidden element using Elemental + a non elemental non blue Materia, ie:
    Elemental (lvl 3) + Steal on the armor will absorb the Ultima Weapon's ray.
    The element of a Materia isn't necessarily the element of its spells. Ie:
    Choco/Mog's Death Blow and Fat Chocobo are non elemental attacks but Elemental + Choco/Mog = Wind.
    Typoon's Disintegration is a Fire + Ice + Lightning + Earth attack but Elemental + Typoon = ... Wind too.
    Kujata's Tetra disaster is a Fire + Ice + Lightning attack but Elemental + Kujata = Hidden.
    The element is written in yellow in the Materia menu, except for Hidden (lol).
    You can check the combinations in the Status menu pressing Circle/OK.
    *Added Effect*
    _"If you put Poison and Added Effect in your armor then you're protected against poison"_
    Notice that being immune to the Poison status makes you to nullify the Poison element. This makes the Poison Ring to work pretty like a 6000 Gils Star pendant.
    _"With Added Effect and Time Materia you can slow an enemy"_
    Or Stop.
    _"If you put Time into Added Effect Materia in your armor it protects against Slow and Paralysis"_
    It protects against Haste (bug), Slow and Stop but not Paralysis.
    _"If you pair Contain Materia with Added Effect you can cause Petrify, Confusion, Berserk and Paralysis"_
    That's Petrify, Confusion and Stop. Not Berserk, and Paralysis is definitely another status. :p
    _"Choco/Mog you can cause Paralysis"_
    It's Stop here too.
    _"Hades you can cause Poison, Confusion, Sleep, Silence, Mini or Toad"_
    Note that Hades' Cauldron also has Slow and Paralysis, though Hades + Added Effect hasn't.
    If you're immune to Death then you're also immune to Death penalty. Whereas if you're immune to Petrify, you're NOT immune to Slow-numb. And Slow-numb still can inflict Petrify... then you can't remove Petrify cause you're immune.
    You can check the combinations in the Status menu pressing Circle/OK twice.
    Added Effect on the weapon has 19 % chances per hit per target (if you didn't just miss the targets) to inflict the combined statuses (all at the same time). The only exception is that the Flash command has 100 % chances to inflict any status (if you didn't just miss the targets, again). Added Effect on the armor always has 100 % chances to protect against the statuses.
    *MP Turbo*
    The best part with MP Turbo is that no spell can cost more than 255 MP. For example, KotR combined to a mastered MP Turbo costs 250 + 50 % = 375 MP, capped to 255 MP. So you pay 5 extra MP only whereas that attack is still increased by 50 %.
    MP Turbo also increases the probability to inflict statuses, which is funny with Poison, Choco/Mog, Odin,...
    *Combo with several copies of a Magic (or Summon) Materia*
    Effects only apply on LEARNED spells, not necessarily all the spells of the Materia. Ie:
    Fire (mastered) + All ; Fire (lvl 2) + MP Absorb => Fire and Fire2 can be cast on all and absorb MP but Fire3 can just be cast on all.
    *Automatic actions*
    _"It's only good for 8 Counter-Attacks"_
    This is true also for Sneak Attack, Magic Counter, Counter and Final Attack. Actually each character can have 8 automatic actions at the total, not for each type). Ie:
    8 Counter Attacks and Final Attack + Phoenix => when you die, you just DIE. The 9th automatic action is ignored.
    Final Attack + Phoenix and 8 Counter Attacks => it actually does the same cause Counter Attacks have the priority over Sneak Attack, Counter, Magic Counter and Final Attack. They come first then the 9th automatic action is ignored.
    7 Counter Attacks and Final Attack + Phoenix => this time you're doing it right. If you survive you attack 7 times and if you die you cast Phoenix.
    *Counter + Mime*
    _"KotR with 7 copies of Magic Counter, 6 copies of Mime, HPMP"_
    It's of course 1 Magic Counter for KotR and 6 Counter for Mimes.
    But this combo would cast KotR 6 times (779.922 damage), not 7.
    Assuming you didn't cast KotR yet and it's lvl 5, when you're hit, what would happen is:
    - Magic Counter + KotR => casts KotR then the remaining summon power (max uses) = 4
    - Counter + Mime => casts a FREE KotR (uses no MP and no summon power)
    - Counter + Mime => casts KotR then remaining summon power = 3
    - Counter + Mime => casts KotR then remaining summon power = 2
    - Counter + Mime => casts KotR then remaining summon power = 1
    - Counter + Mime => casts KotR then remaining summon power = 0
    - Counter + Mime => fails cause the summon can't be cast anymore (you will be able to cast KotR with the next free mime, manually or with Counter, in another turn if you do nothing else)
    You could fix this by simply adding a Master Summon, which gives unlimited power to the character's summons.
    Or if you don't have a Master Summon yet, by removing KotR from this character. You cast KotR first with another character (manually or not). Then the Mime Materia won't be able to decrease the summon power of the character as he carries no KotR himself. And with the freed slot you can add a 7th Counter + Mime. If the ally casts KotR twice with W-Summon, then the counter would be 14 KotR.
    Each "turn" (basically), the 1st Mime of each character is free. The others (ie the Counter Mimes after the 1st) are nerfed.
    When I say "free": free of MP, summon power, All power, Quadra Magic power, Gils (with Coin), and it also keeps the effects All, Quadra Magic, MP Turbo, HP Absorb, MP Absorb, Added Cut, Steal As Well.
    The non free mimes will cost MP, Gils, and lose HP Absorb, MP Absorb, Added Cut, Steal As Well effects. All, Quadra Magic and MP Turbo can be lost or added: they now depend on if the character who's miming possesses these combinations himself (and not out of power).
    When Mime drops the Quadra effect, it's replaced by the All effect. xD
    Both free and non free mimes will never consume any item (with Item, W-Item, Throw) and always empty the Limit gauge when miming a Limit.
    Here are some advanced combinations.
    *Recovery* (looks like a bug but not a bug)
    Weapon = Ice + Elemental, Odin + Added Effect
    Armor = Ice + Elemental (lvl 3-4) or Aurora rod
    => So you can attack yourself to heal, as Ice is absorbed, with having 19 % chance to inflict Death, which would be replaced by Recovery due to the absorption.
    Ice and Water can be absorbed in the mid/early game but you should replace them as your Elemental reaches lvl 3.
    *Double Sneak* (more like a bug)
    Sneak Attack + Steal lvl 2, Steal lvl 1 => You actually sneak with Mug AND Steal. The same works with Counter instead of Sneak Attack or Throw instead of Steal. Other example:
    Counter + Throw lvl 1, Counter + Steal lvl 2-3, Master Command. => This will counter with Throw, Coin, Mug and Steal. With only 2 Counter.
    *ATB killer* (definitely a bug)
    Added Effect + Hades or Seal, Added Effect + Contain or Choco/Mog or Time => Dealing Stop and Sleep *simultaneously* freezes the target indefinitely. xD If the target is immune to Stop or Sleep, you still can deal with the others statuses from Hades and Contain.
    And just to not leaving you without giving some of my own:
    *Odin & Chocobo Lure*
    => Because each enemy has 91% chances to instant die, 99% with MP Turbo, and Chocobos are immune to Death so they don't counter and flee. It can work with Destruct but the success chances would be too low, or with Remove, but it needs 10000 AP. Odin does the job just fine.
    You can also add a Sneak attack to Odin to capture the Chocobo ASAP.
    *2 Magic Pots in only 1 turn*
    Master Command + Added Cut, W-Item => After any command, the character will attack the target. As the Magic Pots require an Elixir and often spawn by 2, you only have to give an Elixir to them. What happens is Elixir on Magic Pot A, Added Cut on it, Elixir on Magic Pot B, Added Cut on it. The Added Cut + Master Command also applies to some other commands, which is nice with 2x Cut, 4x Cut, Slash-all and Flash.
    That's all folks! Have fun

      I learnt mostly from gamefaqs (all TFergusson's guides on deep mechanics are amazing), and also exploring the game with data editors (you can take a look at qhimm forums) and doing tons of testing with friends to find bugs and weird behaviors. Some basic infos were already in the manual.

    I just picked this game up again recently. I was playing it the same way I always did up until leaving Midgar when I decided to see how far guides had come.
    Now, after everything I've learned, I wonder how I ever beat the game as a kid.
    In my very first playthrough I beat the game without KotR. I never even knew a Gold Chocobo existed.
    I didnt have most of the characters ultimate limit breaks or even weapons. Hell, I didnt even use Ultima magic because I thought the materia was bugged (you have to level it once to even use it).
    Now when I look at everything the FFVII community has discovered I cant help but be in awe at the dedication to such a classic title.
    I know this video is close to a decade old at this point but thanks for making it anyway, it taught me a couple new tricks.
    Hope you're doing well.
