You've probably just earned yourself a nice ban, well done for condoning piracy.

Well about half way through the game some stuff happens to Zack and it fast forwards a few years and he's not so much the 'puppy dog' as you described. The general concensus about this game is that it's alright - Retr0 would have you believe it's sh!te, I would say that's it's pretty good, definately worth your time.norrie rugger wrote: »anyway, does this game get good?
What are the pros/cons. Not played it much TBH
Did you ever finish it Retr0? Any (good/half decent) game that ends with the protagonist dying is worth a play in my book. The end of the game is just brilliant, it completely explains the purpose of the DMW. One of the greatest uses of an element of gameplay as narrative. I cried at the end :pac:
However, if you don't like the combat system, you're probably not going to enjoy the game. Don't do what Retr0 said he did and only use the same few spells, combining your materia into awesome combos is one of the hidden fun things to do in the game.
Don't get burned out playing side-missions - they can be worth it for the rare materials but they're more fun if you play a few at a time.
I think that the EU release is a bit borked difficulty wise. I imported the Japanese version and really enjoyed that, but when I went to play the EU version I found that Normal mode was far too easy and Hard mode is a total bitch - with some enemies you literally have to hit them 50 times to take them down, it's not fun. The Japanese voice acting is much better as well - I'm convinced that every one hates Genesis in the English release due to the stupid poncy voice of the actor. At the moment I'm playing a 'redub' of Crisis Core, Japanese voices with English subs. It's great
tl;dr: Pro: Music is great, cutscenes are great, feelings of FFVII nostalgia are great, battle system is a lot of fun when you customise it, some of the boss battles are kickass. Ending is amazing. Gackt
The story is actually good if you give it a chance.
Con: Battle system can grate at times, English acting sucks in places, even so far as it can ruin the enjoyment of the story. Some of the Japanese quirks the characters have don't translate over very well. Difficulty is broken in places.0 -

I did finish the game, unfortunately I had to review it. I thought Zack remained an annoying twat throughout the game and it utterly ruined Cloud as a character as well. As for the ending, what a load of melodramatic bull and adds absolutely nothing to the FFVII universe. It was handled a lot better in FFVII. Haven't the new Square Enix heard of subtlety? Speaking of which don't get me started on the utter retarded over the top cut scenes. The ending explained the meaning of DMW? Not in the game I played. In the game I played the ending was really contrived and DMW was a lottery that kept interrupting the flow of gameplay. It was far from gameplay as storytelling as you can get.
As for Genesis, he's the worst bad guy in any videogame I've ever come across. Moaning emo git that keeps quoting passages from some play 'Loveless' as if it was high art and actually meant anything.
Battle system is awful. You just keep whacking X and using the overpowered dodge to get out of the way when the enemy telegraphs it's attacks to you. the odd magic spell gets thrown in. You can create combos by adding 1 extra attack to the end of your chain but mashing X is more effective.
Oh and prepare to grind for the last boss by doing boring side missions.
Overall:
Cons: Pitiful story, protagonist and bad guy, feels like it's taking place in an empty FFVII world, little nostalgia since these aren't the characters represented in FFVII, boring repetitive combat system, awful soundtrack full of over the top wailing guitars, the pure random madness of DMW, no pay off in the ending after all the pain, I had to pay for it and play it.
Pros: It's not as bad as my over the top slating makes it sound but it's not great either, it looks decent if very repetitive.
Overall it's painfully bland and average as a hack and slash. There's so much better on the PSP like god of war, jeanne d' arc, loco roco, patapon etc. there's no reason to bother with it and if you are a fan of FFVII you'll be disappointed.

Nope I didn't think much of it really, it wasn't exactly as moving as chapter 11 in valkyria chronicles
You just know thought that if they ever remake FFVII they are going to add in stuff that will link in all the FFVII spin off awfulness, it's something that the new square enix will do. I'll cry if they do it
Actually, speaking of the more wussified cloud in Crisis Core, I did hear that he's a total pussy in the japanese FFVII as well so it might actually be more fitting
