Welcome to the community!

My dad and I are currently playing through FF VII right now, but we aren't particularly the best at it. Does anyone have any tips for us?

Also, how do you get more potions? We burned through most of them because the enemies only _target Tifa for some reason.

For me adding 5 Minute scene each of Allies immediately upon Jill realized Clive, Joshua, Crown Prince Crown passed away for Ending.

Since I replay VII and VI the most I'll list those.

VII:

• After Sector 1 mission, fight enemies at Train Graveyard until I have two more Restore Materia and one more Lightning (for fighting Hundred Gunner and Heli Gunner)

• After everything from Sector 5 Reactor to the journey to Sector 6, battle enemies for more gil (not so much experience yet). Same with when I get Tifa and Barret back, before Shinra Building.

• Take elevator of the Shinra Building to avoid tedious stairs and a "Fan Disservice All Around" moment with Tifa

• Spam "Leave it to me!" to Tifa in the Shinra Building cell so I can get her as a date

• After Cloud's flashback, level grinding on overworld. Including stealing Atomic Scissors from Custom Sweeper and learning Matra Magic

• At Mythril Mines, learn Flamethrower and steal a Grand Glove (I think) for Tifa

• Get Yuffie after crossing Mythril Mines

• After Cargo Ship, more level grinding at Mt. Corel

• After Corel Prison, more level grinding at Gongaga Area and Cosmo Area

• Once I have over 1100 HP, fight Midgar Zolom and get Beta

• Arriving at Nibelheim, get Vincent and the Destruct Materia right away

• After Rocket Town (where I get Barrier Materia and always equip it to get Wall), get Diamond Bangles at Bone Village, then more level grinding at Mt. Nibel

• Wutai

• More level grinding at Wutai or Mt. Nibel

• Play everything straight from Temple of the Ancients to the escape from Junon. Appreciate playing as Tifa.

• Bring Barret with me for the train mission

• At Fort Condor, just let the enemy reach the base so I can beat the boss right away

• After getting Cloud back, dig up the Key to Sector 5 and return to Midgar just because, and one-shot some Hell House

• Recent: Get Tifa's Final Heaven Limit Break

• After Junon Underwater Reactor, get the Key to the Ancients, the Huge Materia, and the Conformer (I don't usually go further than that inside Gelnika due to how powerful the enemies are)

• At the tunnels on the Sector 8 mission, get W-Item Materia and, against the enemies that only slow you down, multiply Elixirs, Megalixirs, X-Potions, and, if necessary, Phoenix Downs

• Have Vincent in the party with a Headband while fighting Hojo. (Somehow Vincent never gets the finishing blow though, it's always Tifa)

• Disc 3: Kill Ultimate Weapon

• Get some HP+ Materia to cancel out HP decrease from Bahamut and Ultima

• Northern Cave: Go left then up, then place the Save Crystal just before the Point of No Return, and backtrack through the left/down path. Morph at LEAST one Master Tonberry into a Ribbon and give it to Yuffie (Cloud and Tifa will already have the two from Temple of the Ancients and Gaea's Cliff). Save on world map so I have a save point to go around the map, and then go through the dragon graveyard of Northern Cave and defeat Sephiroth.

VI:

• First true moment of freedom, level grind at South Figaro Cave. After getting Sabin, level at Mt. Kolts

• Scenarios in order: Terra, Locke, Sabin. Get Shadow for Sabin of course and make sure he stays until Baren Falls. Hope I fight Stray Cats, and then when possible, learn that rage for Gau

• After Terra leaves, level some more between Kohlingen and Jidoor

• Once I get Magicite, teach Edgar, Sabin, and Locke Cure

• After Magitek Research Facility, get Mog

• Teach Setzer and Mog Cure. (If not now then in World of Ruin)

• Take Mog to Serpent Trench and teach him the underwater dance

• When get Ultima Weapon, give it to Terra

• After Kefka kills Leo, level up Terra, Edgar, Sabin, and Celes as much as possible. (Terra, Edgar, and Sabin for Floating Continent, and Celes for the base level of World of Ruin). Also get four Angel Wings for Ultima Weapon battle.

World of Ruin:

• Heal Cid with good fish

• Get Sabin back

• Get Edgar back

• Get Setzer back, and Darill's Tomb

• Get Phantom Rush for Sabin as fast as possible

• Kill Deathgaze so he doesn't surprise me when my entire party is divisible by 5

• Get Cyan back and kill Storm Dragon

• Get Terra back (and replace Celes with her in main party, giving her Ultima Weapon, which Celes would have until now)

• Get Gau back

• Get Shadow back

• Get Relm back

• Get Strago back

• Get Locke back and kill Red Dragon

• Go to Narshe, get items there, get Mog back, kill Ice Dragon, beat Valigarmanda

• Get Umaro

• Get Gogo

• Teach every character Ultima, Reraise, and other spells I want them to know by fighting Cactaurs. I will have taught some Death at this point too so I can kill Sandworms that appear

• Kill Earth Dragon

• Castle of the Ancients and kill Blue Dragon

• Cultists' Tower and kill Holy Dragon (Reflect Rings and Reraise strategy, with Mog equipped with Molulu's Charm to avoid encounters here)

• Dreamscape

• Kill Hidon

• If I feel like a "full" playthrough, do that scene with Gau trying to reunite him with his father

• Level off dinosaurs and, if possible, get three Celestriads (either from Brachiosaurs or that Coliseum strategy)

• Kefka's Tower: Demon party is Edgar, Sabin, Cyan, and Gau. Goddess party is Terra, Locke, Celes, and Mog. Fiend party is Setzer, Shadow, Relm, and Strago. Party to fight Kefka: Terra, Edgar, Locke, Cyan.

I’m gonna make a proxy deck, to test. What element should I go for, cause I like aggro. Let me know what you think I should do since I finally bought cards last Saturday

I FINALLY remembered to get the Chocobo summon. Which is even more effective than Matra Magic, and useful for Junon Area enemies.

Also I'll try to get Tifa's final Limit Break as well, I figured out how to. But I'm far from this point yet, about to go to Junon.

That's right; Zenos is my favorite FF villain now. Enjoy!

In the Switch version of FFVII, why did they fix "This guy are sick", a popular typo, but not "Attack while it's tail's up!" which would mislead many first-time players into doing so before Cloud says "It's gonna counterattack with a laser." Guard Scorpion isn't that hard if you know NOT to attack while its tail is up but it is on the TOB list because of that one misleading line.

The whole part about going through as two parties, stepping on switches, etc., and I used to enjoy it on Steam version.

But what really kills the fun of this dungeon is the enemies. In most versions it seems you can't even run from the Faces and Necromancers and they're the toughest and it's not fair you can't avoid fighting them, since Faces counterattack with 1000 Needles and Necromancers use Demi for major fractional damage. With your stronger party they might be manageable but the weaker party not so much.

Kefka's Tower, despite being the final dungeon, is much easier and more fun, except for the indoor enemies who use Blaster to insta-kill the whole party.

Is that, the grass and ground around Kefka's Tower is in spiral formation? Considering how it formed and who lives there it makes sense, but it's a nice detail that could be overlooked.

For instance, in FFVI, do you teach everyone the Cure spell, etc., and in FFVII, do you equip the Restore Materia on everyone? (I know it lowers other stats but still)

I always do teach them all healing spells whenever possible so healing from battles, or during battles, is easier. But I've seen a lot of players don't, having a single party member to act as White Mage like Rosa.

I was looking over the stat block of Warmech while I was fighting him and lo and behold, he tried and failed to run from me in the fight. The page for him says that this should no longer be the case in Pixel Remaster, and was wondering if it's due to my settings or something that he almost ran away from me.

My party was level 50 and I have no boosts on, but I do have all the visual styles set to "classic."

What is the set up raised macro for red mage?

Does Locke's in-game profile pic look like Firion? If nothing else it looks pretty different from his sprite.

Happy thanksgiving 2024, final fantasy fans!

Final Fantasy XVI's Enemy and Boss Pages don't seem to be completed, so it's kinda weird how XV's enemy and boss pages are complete, but XVI's enemy and boss pages are still undeveloped. It feels like not a lot of people, let alone Final Fantasy fans, have played the game. I don't want to focus on any negative insulting reasons, so I just want to make this clear: The Boss and Enemies of Final Fantasy XVI don't have pages like the others, please develop them.
