Wtf Teepo dies in BoF3? Fuck. Never got that far but I played that game a lot, first game I ever ripped for my modchipped PS1, soldered it myself sophomore year of college. I printed color labels and jewel case art and everything for that game lol.

Its not what you think.

Spoiler: show

He ends up becoming a bad guy. iirc he's the 2nd to last boss of the game, he doesn't die until then

I remember everyone on the gamefaqs ffxi board thinking they were hot shit with their melee red mages

Beating Xenogears. Tales of Destiny II (Eternia) and Suikoden (first one) without a guide, internet, and getting pretty much 100% of everything was one of my most proud gaming accomplishments as a kid. Especially Suikoden because I got all 108 of the characters, though it did take me 2-3 times of playing the game, trial and error. Suikoden 2 is nearly impossible to do so without a guide because of time constraints, bugs, and a few glitches regarding some of those crystals you used to get the beast party members.

I was right there alongside you man. They told me I could save him. They told me I could get my bro back into the party. Best believe I was grinding my ASS off.
Turns out if you "do" somehow beat them, the game just loops the sequence and you fight them again.

Wow seriously? i couldnt beat them even with my gameshark. They literally have infinite life i dont see how you could kill them lol. i had everyone at level 99 doing max damage for like 30 minutes straight and was like wtf.

You can kill them by gamesharking in the death spell to Ryu or Teepo. I guess the way I worded that might make it seem like I found this out due to all of my grinding (I didn't mean it that way though, it was more of an aside) but in reality I found out years later by seeing a video of someone beating them in that manner.

[Shenrien]

God I miss the days pre-broadband. Dudes used to come out with the most outlandish objectives to unlock some super secret character and dumbasses like me would do it because we didn't know better.

Collect 99 tisssues and 99 1/32 soldiers and hammer the square button at the final cutscene in disk 1 to save Aeris. My summer was ruined.

[Eurell]

What were those fucking soldiers really for? That drove me nuts

[Kaslo]

I still remember Zombie Leo rumors for FFVI

[kuronosan]

I game sharked his ass in.

[Anakron]

I played Xenogears twice, just so I could recruit Ramsus.

That Engadget interview linked on the first page makes me nervous. Sounds like that guy wants this to be FF VII-2 rather than a remake.

Keep the story. Keep the core battle mechanic (materia). Improve the visuals. Add some additional side content, maybe even a new character or two as bonus. Throw in some modernizations (achievements) and be done.

[Gokulo]

Sounds like that guy wants this to be FF VII-2 rather than a remake.

No, he wants it to be a remake, not a HD remaster.

I just feel bad for responding anyway, as this has been beaten to death and S-E clearly said what path they are taking here.

[Hitoshura]

Just thought about how cool it's going to be to see Jenova's escape and slaughtering of the Shinra HQ, Jenova was definitely the oddest of FF villains but definitely gives me the most creeps.

[Vaspinne]

That entire moment in the game was fucking creep city for me. You're in a jail/security cell. You wake up in the middle of the night, eerie as fuck music playing, no NPCs, blood stains, broken glass.

Genuinely one of the most intense moments of my young gaming life (I hadn't played any games like silent hill or resident evil or parasite eve or etc)

[Hitoshura]

^Yeah, no kidding. This was before I got into Resident Evil 2, I didn't touch any of them or any other scary game and when I hit this scene, it was such huge change from the joking and action scenes, and it just became so dark all of a sudden, not to mention Jenova itself looks terrifying as fuck.

When I was 9 and saw these blocky characters, I never quite understood the scenes that involved Jenova's limbs and the way Sephiroth was almost quite literally pulling the strings from the Crater until I played hte game again later. A remake is definitely needed, I think FFVI did a better job of showing scenes than VII awkwardly did.

[Elcura]

7 had a pretty good and creepy atmosphere. Shinra HQ, northern caves area, anything underwater (especially fucking with Emerald) and Nibelheim manor/reactor come to mind. You never really got that past 7, and before it never really had a major impact.
