Dude, you must of been really.....REALLY bored. I am amazed.

My stepbrother only got the characters to about level 20 (he trained nonstop)and he only did it because he was bored.

Oh my god.
You are a nutter.

Does doing all that surpluss training actually help for later on in the game?

Not really. I don't see what the point would be in doing that much training that early in the game. That section isn't even particularly fun as compared with some of the other sections if you ask me.

:O

wow, i'm quite impressed by the bottom of north cave in 11+ hours, last time i tried a time attack on ff7, it took me about 20 hours!

Man that's just crazy.....12 hours..........Disk one took me maybe 72 hours, but it paid off.

How long did you play? Im guessing 7 hrs or less.

And I thought getting everyone's Limit 3 Breaks up before the end of Disk 1 was bad... Dude, you've got far too much time on your hands. :) Still, I guess it's better than robbing banks and stealing drugs and stuff.

hey, thats the excuse i use to play video games 24/7, "would you rather have me spend my time and money on drugs?"...it really works, you bring that up, and your parents will want you to play video games

You two (Teknori and MogKnight) are easily the two greatest people I've ever encountered. I can't think of anything that I'd be more proud of than those feats. A couple friends and I are going to set up three TVs next to one another later this year, bet large sums of money, and race through FFVII, but I don't expect any of us to break 20 hours. I don't know how 12 hours is possible.

It is. Dont think of eating, drinking or sleeping while you're playing.

teknori you carazy bastard!! :laugh: that beat my record of about level 20 or so, don't realy remember, i think i will try to beat that 12 hour record, or get damn close to it, i pride myself in my ff7 abilities, this will not stand onwards!!! *runs off to his fortress of solitude(room) to play ff7*

After the initial shock wore off I realized that I guess it could be possible if I saved everywhere I could and perfected each portion of the game, but that's still pretty impressive. When are they going to remake the game with better graphics?

3 questions:

1. Is that you MK in the screen?(i doubt it)
2.U-turn they are not going to remake the game with better graphics (sorry that was an answer not a question)
3.i was wondering what the point of the middle file is on the screen, because i can see nothing important on it?

I do believe MogKnight said that the person in the picture is "Martin" of the website Final Fantasy: Worlds Apart.

I Just Wish I Could Take Pictures Or Film My FF Data Somehow... Im 50 Hours I have Cloud At 92 Cid At 90 And Cait Sith Also At 90... I have Nearly Every Materia Minus... Uhhh... Added Cut... Didnt Find it In The Snowfields... I hAve All limits For All Characters Inlcuding Great Gospel on Aeris (Saved At Seven Hours Outside Gold Saucer Before The Stuff Starts Goin Down) I Have Emeral And Ruby In The 2 Master Commands 3 Master Magics A master Summon 2 Mastered 4x Cuts... Uhh? Anything Else im Missing?

Oh There is my Data At 99:59 On The Timer Too... I Wnated To see if Metoer Fell Or Something... Nothing Happened But... Maybe I Should get One of Those Dex Drive Thingies For memory Cards...

Yes, I have done something similar.

TIME: 29 hours

:coolegg:

Well I PMed you but just in case you didn't get it sorry it's my first time here but anyway it took me 24hours to get to level33 with Cloud and level30 with Baret 29potions 19Ethers so thanks again for showing me that I'm not the only one that trains as long as I do or trains even more than I do so thanks :D.Also my limit breaks levels are at 3 for Cloud andfor some reason I can't get barret's limit break to go to level3. PS all my magic at that point are almost mastered.

update: added links to my other how good are you threads

How did you get more then 2 master summons. 1 for killing Emerald weapon and 1 for mastering every summon and visiting the red huge materia in cosmo canyon. You can not get more then 2 I think?

You can get more Masters from the Huge ones at Cosmo Canyon anytime you like and have a complete set of the small ones mastered.

So does that mean to get another master summon I have to master a whole new set of summons?

You can get as many Master Summon/Magic/Commmand as you want

gee mn i thought i waz totly absesed with the game i mean......ur scores are totaly kool i beat ur liein or u cheat.... i dont now man its kind hard to belive

i dont cheat, only losers cheat

ya ok i get it .......but man the score it like wooooww

The only feat ive done is getting and using omnislash on disc 1

I have something I can be proud of.

The Defeat of Emerald Weapon! Not much I know, but heres the kicker.

UNDER 20 MINUTES (13 to 14 minutes to be exact)
NO Knights Of The Round
NO Under water materia

OH YEAH!!!

Dark night odin you are a beast

cloud clone you are also a beast but of higher quality

only feat i've done is get 1 master magic, im "this" close to beating ruby and emerald (can't fuck with those weapons man)

I gladly admit that I am more than likley eth worst player out there. I dont get everything and I dont do all the side quest but I play because I like to play!

check this out guys.. i wish i could take picture..... im 76 hours beaten both dragon things ruby and emerald i have cloud at lvl with max mp and max hp and all limit breaks. cid at lvl 99 with almost max strength and 200 mp max hp and all limit breaks. and tifa at lvl 99 with 250 mp max hp but i still cannot get her last freakin limit break!!!! i dont know why either!............................... I also have 5!!! knights of the round that i have mastered which is really kool.. i have also all the rest of my characters at higer 80s to lower 90s in lvl :) but let me tell u the cid cloud and tifa partnership is with no question the best trust me :) and i have like 3 accounts that have beaten the game... lets jusyt say ive played this game a ton :)

with 200 mp


with 250 mp

Why the sucky MP totals?

250 is max mp
or no 255 is ya cloud is 255 mp

You're thinking of max Magic, not max MP.

he's right. You can get 9999 Mp.

o ya lol my bad im retarted lol ya i have 9999 mp and 255 mp lol oops;)

with cloud at 255 magic i can hit 9999 every single time with knights of the round and tifa at 200 is close to 9999 everytime :)

I Beat down:
1.Ultima weapon
2.Emerald weapon
3.Ruby weapon
4.Beat the game

I don't care about time. I got Master Command, Master Summon, and Master Magic for beating Emerald weapon. I got W-Summon, Knights of Round, Quadra Magic, all the Summons, Mime, went to all materia caves, got all Level 4 limit breaks, and all of the Ultimate Weapons. I got all HP and MP maxed out. Ended the game with at least 2 million gil from fighting alot to max out Knights of Round, to beat the weapons.

i played non stop till i beat it im not lieing i took a little nap here and there but the game was still on i mean it i beat all the weapons i did all the side quests all in all i think i was at my tv for atleast aweek and 4 days

holy... im gob smacked. by the fact that u spent that much time at the start and that that dude got to the bottom in 12 hours :| that is amazing. must have so much spare time on your hands to do that. i mean.. how long are all the fmvs together?

On the back of the case it says 'Over 120 minutes of mind-blowing cinematic sequences'

Hmmmm i think im going to go play ff7

<font color=red face="comic sans ms">Actually since then, somoene else at FFWA managed to beat Martin's time (they got 10:51 or something like that, it was quite a while ago now). Some poeple don't believe him though, but Martin's proof definitely is there. ;)

Anyway someone else said they got to level 99 in the train graveyard, and one of my friends said he got to level 99 in the first reactor once. I really don't think I should believe that though, because that would just take far too long. :eye:

As for me, I don't really consider levelling up to be "good", in fact playing at lower levels I found to be much more fun; on my last playthrough I only got EXP from boss fights and ran from random encounters, completing the game at level 44 (I gained 5-6 levels from Jenova-Synthesis alone). But for full completion's sake, I just consider doing all the sidequests enough. I'd stat-max too, but morphing got far too boring for me.

I still have my screenshot showing my 7:07:10 in the Northern Cave, but I fully admit that the clock on my PC game runs slow. If those times were on the PC version, then that's probably how they got it too. If it was on the Playstation though, then I guess they're just really good.

started a new file recently, going for 99:59 in the first reactor, so far, not going too well, but it'll happen, just you wait. and by the way, i dont just level up at the beginning, i go through the game afterwards, and make sure i do everything with extreme perfection, its what me and my friends have called(and been calling for a while) "The Master File"...a few of my friends do it too, but no one is willing to beat my records...theres only one thing that i havent done in FF7 and that is get Aeris's umbrella paracel thingy at gold saucer, its so hard, i worked at it for hours and hours, and i cant get it. anyone have good tips for me?

<font color=red face="comic sans ms">Both of those times were set with the PSX version.

Hmm, the rollercoaster game. At my best I was quite easily scoring over 8000 points on that, but even now I can still beat 5000 quite convincingly, and that's how much you need for the Umbrella...

I'd say the most important thing is to learn the course, really. Eventually you'll start to learn where things are going to appear, and you can point your gun at them before they show up on screen and be prepared for them. The other main thing is to NEVER let the gun run low on power, because then you'll struggle to destroy most targets. Always fire in short bursts and give it time to recharge.

Look out for things in the background that can be shot. In the first section there are a few cacti, and right at the end of the course one of the lights on the left can also be destroyed (this is the only time you should hold down fire as there are no more targets after this).

The icicle section is a good place to get lots of points quickly, but here it's still really important not to over-fire. Destroy as many icicles as you can whilst keeping the gun charged, and you'll be able to shoot the floating things quite easily too.

The UFO near the end can be destroyed, and again you need to fire in short quick bursts, and you'll get 1000 points for that.

Are you playing on PSX or PC? I've tried both and found it infinitely harder on PC, so unlucky if that's the case. :(

i have it on the ps, but i dont understand how it could have been that hard for me with the way you explained it...was it hard for you the first time at least?

I am terrible at the Shooting Coaster. I used to suck at the snowobarding and the torpedoes, but I eventually got good at those. The Shooting Coaster? Still sucky.

I remember early on I thought 3000 points was an achievement, but now I'm disappointed if I score under 5000. It's all from practise really, know where things are gonna appear, and you should be fine. :)

thanks, i'll try that. :D

man i got a sudden urge to go play ff7 and beat the score of getting at the bottom of the crater in 12 hours i did it in like 40+ hours but now i got commitment to the ps2 (creppy batman music plays in the background)

The idea is that you get to the crater quickly.

i think he knows that...

ya know, how much money y'all got??? i'll check in a bit, but i'm sure i got a fat wad of cash... i mean gil... i remember when i purchased the villa, i couldn't tell that it even took money out, and i usually look at the first 3 or 4 digits, (i think) anyways, i'll let y'all know soon!

i know this may not relate to this thread at all but what requirements must cid reach to teach him highwind?

Well, I suppose it kinda relates, since you are trying to make yourself really good.

The requirements are the same as any other character. You have to learn all of his earlier limit breaks and then apply his 4/1 Highwind limit manual. You find the Highwind manual in the crashed Gelnika under the ocean, which you navigate to using the sub.

thanks for the help but when i go to give it to Cid it just says "Hmmmfffhh....Not yet" or something similiar. i already have big brawl which i believe is his last one before highwind. Sooo?

There is a quirk in the game where sometimes you can learn limits before you're supposed to and then you end up with some of the later limits without having some of the earlier ones. Check in the menu and make sure that you've learned all of the earlier ones: 1/1, 1/2, 2/1, 2/2, 3/1 and 3/2.

You spelled neibelhiem wrong

Uh, two things:

a.) Who are you talking to?

b.) That's not how you spell "Nibelheim" either, so I must say, I find it rather ironic and hilarious that would correct someone's spelling of it and you don't even know how to spell it yourself.

I was talking to Lord Vincent

And I spelled it Neibelhiem because that is how he spelled it. Because if I put that he spelled Nibelheim wrong, that would be kind of innacurate because you can't spell Nibelheim wrong if you spell it like Nibelheim.

Oh, I see. You're referring to his "Location" description under his username. Took me a while to figure that one out. You know, that's actually something that should be dealt with by private message, if you really must point it out.

Well, now everyone knows how to spell Nibelheim correctly. My bad

Sorry i spelt it wrong..thanks for the correction...i figured it was wrong when i typed it but i just didnt care.

Thats ok. Now let's just get back on topic

yes, back on topic.... i have over 15 million gil... i'm gonna get over 1 billion!!! i will i will!!!!!!!!!!

wow y dont u just go to lvl 99 and have an easier life and i mean wow you must have like a lot of time on your hands

no, if you spend any more time here, you will soon find out most of us have oodles of time on our hands

Okay people.... let me lay down what I think: I don't consider speed to be good with as slow as I am. I'm a slow person, so does that mean I suck at the game just because I don't beat the game withen 11 hours? Okay, you know you're good at Final Fantasies when you can beat all of the monsters in the game. If you try to get to the end of the game more quikley, you have to sacrafice doing any of the sidequests. To me, doing most of the sidequests is a pro! If you beat all four of the WEAPON monsters, that's a very big deal! Not many people can beat Ruby and Emerald weapons. That's considered the games greatest challenge! Leveling up to 99 is too good becuase that takes a long time! Doing and finding out everthing in the game is the best you could be at.


For those who could beat the game in 11 hours, good for you! You're good at speed, but its impossible to do that and get everything at the same time! And I won't believe anyone who will say they did that! You'd have to be smarter than Albert Einstein to do that! Sidequests are considered good! You can't argue that! If someone does the biggest sidequest beating all of the weapon monsters, you have to givem' credit. That means you've mastered the game! Haste makes Waste!

yes, but speed proves mastery, if done correctly... lets say, you did ALL of the sidequests, AND ALL people are @ lv. 99!!! then if it were a contest, the person who did all of that AND had the lowest time would win!!! say you could get 99% completion (i know there's no meter for it like in other games but shutup) and you only clocked in 30 something hours!!! huh? how bout that???

Yes, but like I said, you'd have to be a genius to do that. I've got a few learning disabilities so I'm slower than others. I mean, for somenone as stupid as I am, you have to give me credit for doing almost everything. I'm stupid, so there's no way to do all the in even 40 hours.:-X

Hey, TifaGirl - don't worry about all this stuff if you don't want to. Those of us that do this stuff are hardcore. That's actually secret little code that really means "crazy." So for not doing this stuff and not wanting to do it, you're probably actually more sane than those of us that would do it.

Thank you Agent 0042! To me speed isn't everything in a game. I may try it if you'd get something good like a good weapon or whatever, like how you can get Steiner Ultimate weapon in FF9, but it usually means missing out on all of the other sidequests too. I like doing most sidequests becuase thats the fun part in games, finding out all the secrets! As for trying to get everything in the game, that is very time consuming. I always have to breed chocobos to get KOR summon, to beat Emerald weapon, time consuming, yes. Thanks again Agent 0042, you made me feel more better:D :D!
