I can answer i question that has been asked by many Aeris fans that have`nt specifically been on this thread, but on numerous others. And couldn`t he have just added this to another Final Fantasy thread. Don`t we have enough?. Everyone asked how come they *crosses fingers, Spolier tags, please work*

[/*spoiler didn`t use a Pheonix Down on Aeris when she dies. The reason is that Pheonix Downs revive people from being knocked out, not dead]

Ok, I hope that worked.

Also, I need help in FF6 when you fight Ultros and Chupon on the airship on the way to the floating continent. After I beat them, i fall off and i have to fight this robot craft thingy with missles. Its really hard. My party is:

Cyan
Strago
Setzer

The only reason i have Strago in there is because he can weild the Healing Rod which is VERY helpful to me.

This is just too funny for me to pass up. I *SO* 0wn your limited FF knowledge. LOL. Prolly LA does too. :lol: I just couldn't resist.

As for the Areis question, try playing it in Japanese. It makes more sense, and

Apparently oldphil rolled a one for his FF Knowledge Check. ]http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/final_fantasy_vii_changes.txt[/url]

...to sum it up quickly it says basically, "you can't bring her back!". Hope that's clear =) Of course you can bring her back with a gameshark but that's as pointless as using a code to put Sephiroth in your party.

To quote Chris MacDonald, the writer of the FAQ mentioned above:

Even if you decide that the rumor is true, there's no way to revive
Aeris in the final versions of either the Japanese or US versions of
the game, and sticking her back in your party with a GameShark has
shown that there are no other sequences with her/ways that she is
involved with your party, aside from 'general character' quotes. That
doesn't mean that Square didn't originally _consider_ the idea of
having Aerith being brought back to life, but even if they did, it
was obviously discarded/decided against and never developed any
further than that.

OK. It's possible I was duped, but I watched a play with her once. He swears he did NOT use the shark, but he may have just been lying to me. He DID have access to a lot of stuff I didn't (beta crap), and I couldn't read the Japanese at that time, so I really can't say.

*shrugs*

I don't know. But yeah, I have seen the rumor mill 'debunked' threads around, I just choose to believe this guy wasn't lying to me. Though if he was.... :banned:

Thanks for the followup, kammerite! :thumb:

The only reason i have Strago in there is because he can weild the Healing Rod which is VERY helpful to me.


IMPORTANT=all parts of this boss are weak against Thunder and Water.

Strago is a person that you will want on your party. His technique (Aqua Rake) will be extremely helpful. While all 3 parts are still in the battle use multi-target attacks to defeat them. When only Air Force is left use strong attacks that target a single opponent. Watch out though because the Air force will launch a Speck. These things absorb magic attacks. Also when they are launched a countdown will start and at the end it will launch the WaveCannon attack. So beat the Speck and Airforce as quick as possible. Take out the Speck first so you can deal more damage with your Thunder and Water abilities.

If you need more help or have a question just ask.

Kaemmerite: Thanks for your assistance

If the town of Mysidia (FFIV) is populated by mages, why doesn't their item shop carry ether? By that same token, if the town of Wutai (FFVII) has no Materia, why does their shop bother keeping ether in stock?

Here`s a good question.

If they make an FF8-2 will Rinoa decide she`ll be the main character and form a group with Quistis and Selphie. Will they then become the next Japanese Charlie`s Angels?

SpoonyBard: The only answer I can give is-->Maybe the Mages in Mysidia (FFIV) don't need ether to recharge their magic powers. As for Wutai (FFVII) they probably want to make a profit off of visitors.I support this by what Yuffie after you beat her and answer a question wrong !!!!STEAL MONEY!!!!

Tom Dincht Why do you make fun of FF X-2 I thought that it was a rather good game.

i didnt like ff x-2 myself, it felt forced and a rip off of all girl spy shows. i seriously needed to go listen to rock music and drive very fast after playing it considering how frustrating the plot was, the lack of character recruitment or a solid story, or the sheer overwhelming fanservice/girlishness of it (no offence but it w as all girl power and such)

Although it did have a girly vibe to it I did like the multitude of character classes and abilities. I give a big thumbs up for the Ultimates classes for the Girls. Those designs were awesome! :rant:

there designs may have been awesome but that cannot excuse the lack of character recruitment, shallow plot, stupidness of some of the scenes <heares "YRP" and shudders> blatant ripoffs of spy shows, AND THE LEAST NUMBER OF CHARACTERS OF ANY FF EVER you cant stinking recruit anybody you even start the game with them, ff x-2 just doesnt feal like a ff, infact i really should say i truly didnt like that game due to its flaws.

Hey, if you like multitudes of character classes and abilities, you should play Final Fantasy Tactics! It's like X-2, only, y'know, GOOD. :D

I respect your opinion, but there was no need for other characters when you have so many classes for the characters that you have. You could have 1,000 different teams with all those classes (I'm Exaggerating a little).

I have already played Tactics and beaten it. It was a great Game.

<obnoxiousness> strategies to beat the tetra master ghosts in the crystal world/memoria? of FFIX?</obnoxiousness>


Tell me what level your characters are and what items they have equipped and I will tell you the best strategy that I can with that information about your game.


I would like to point out that you do NOT fight the Tetra Master ghosts, so his levels and items mean nothing. You play against the ghosts in... well... Tetra Master, you know the card game in FF9?

Sorry I was thinking of the Final Fights in FFIX don't ask me why. I've had a bad week.

[Quote=Kokoro Daisuke]Thank-you skyness, I was going to say "o.o]

There is no true pattern to beat them. For Example, I had to do battle with them a couple of times before I found a pattern that let me make a strategy against them. Not to mention I had many very powerful cards which made it much easier.

As far as I can remember there is not a weapon in the marsh.

I believe that was more like an experiment on graphics rather than a movie, so even I cannot answer that one. They probably did it just because it would hook all the FF Fans. Other than that I am not sure.

Shatterheart already warned you not to make numerous consecutive posts in this thread. I am sure everyone would appreciate it if you took his advice.

Do you know if the FF7 game "Crisis Core" is a remake or a game of its own? I`m only saying that because "Before Crisis: is a prequel to FF7 and FF7 is the "Crisis" so I`m assumming the core of the crisis would be FF7.

And why is it called "Advent Children?"
