Your first FFVII? - Page 2

I remember that I would play bits and pieces of it at a time and would have to ask people what I was supposed to do next. XD And I had someone help me with some of the bosses. I think I always used Cloud, Aeris, and Red XIII. Then right after I was supposed to get Vincent, someone told me that I didn't get him or Yuffie, I didn't even know you could at the time... So they got me Vincent and then we went back to the first continent to get Yuffie.XD

I liked the game, but I didn't become a fan of it till years later.

I was only 12 when I played the game, and was very new to RPG. In fact, it was my first RPG. I didn't know what to do, but I got the hang of it eventually. On my first play through, I missed A LOT. I was towards the end of the game, fighting Sephiroth and couldn't beat him. I also didn't have Vincent...I didn't know you could have him in your party. =/

So I decided to start over. This time, I was more careful and patient. It took me more than 3 months to defeat the game. I was mainly leveling up...and I got Vincent too!

I got everthing out of the game, even the whole chocobo breeding...except defeating Emerald!

I'm playing FFVII again and I swear that I will beat him this time...

It seems like everyone misses things to start with, I know I did. I don't regret not using the strategy guide though, it would've ruined the whole experience.

Hmmmmmmm I got FFVII for myself (meaning not for use by my brother) when I was 11 or so...

I did terrible because I didn't understand the concept of leveling up. lol.

Final Fantasy VII was my very first r.p.g., so I sucked majorly at it. I was borrowing from my cousin as well so I didn't have the manual. I got stuck on really, REALLY basic stuff; like not being able to find the boss in Junon because i didn't spot the exit at the bottom of the screen....took me ages to figure that the Select button did something.....still, meant I was strong enough to beat him from being over-levelled! But I didn't pay much attention to the side-effects of Materia or anything, I remember having Barret equipped with about 5 Summon Materia and a couple of Magic going into one of the battles with Ultima. Yeah, that's probably why I found VII hard when i originally played it.

No matter what RPG I play I always try to use each party member equally. That way you never miss a special or ability a character might have. Its a bit boring sticking with the same characters all the time.

FFVII was my first RPG as well if I remember correctly. I was 8 when I bought it and took me forever just to finish the dam first disk. 'cause I didn't know that you needed a chocobo to get past the Zolom (I skip past long narratives...)

I missed so much stuff too, but mostly because I didn't bother working to get all the other stuff like bonus materia or getting the gold chocobo. But meh, just finishing the game was superb...
