No love for Yuffie and her high luck?

Yuffie had a limit break called the End. It was really really rare as all the times I played it I only saw it once. It just killed everything and there was a camera panning over a hillside full of flowers.
Or else I dreamt it.

I usually had Cloud, Cid, and Yuffie in my party.

Never, ever bothered with Yuffie. Same with Cait Sith.

Could never get into them, and i didn't really want to.

No dream. It was brilliantly bonkers. Only move in the game that one shots anything even the final boss.

It was actually Selphie from FF8 that had that Limit Break. Easy to get the two of them confused though.

For those of you on PC and thinking to replay the game check out a mod called New Threat(NT) I got as far as the Shinra tower before i stopped playing as i was sidetracked by some other new release but its well worth a look if you are looking for a real challenge. It rebalances the game in many ways, plus it adds a new leveling mechanic for each character so you can have them develop through certain archetypes (Like Mage, Fighter, Tank and so forth)

I'd also recommend the fan translation for the PC version. Makes the story a whole lot easier to follow and gets rid of the awful translation errors. The story is actually pretty simple once the English in the game actually makes sense!

Playing FF7 as a kid is one of my fondest gaming memories. I remember getting it at around 8 or 9 years old having never played an RPG before. Took me a while to get the hang of it and to understand how to correctly use materia but once I did I was absolutely hooked.

It was the first game I ever played that had that "epic" feeling. It was the first game that made me actually care about the characters. Sure after all these years it shows its age and flaws more glaringly than it did for a young me but theres few games that have managed to engross and capture me the way FF7 did.

The worst of the three numbered PS1 FF games, but still a pretty damn good JRPG.

The game went downhill after you left Midgar, and the story took a nosedive.

Lots of memorable characters and a great soundtrack

For those of us who had played US imports of the SNES FF games, it was a bit of a step back though. Smaller party and far less diverse characters.

I enjoyed 4 and 6, far more than 7.

Listening to the recent retronauts FF4 episode makes me want to play that game again. It's magnificent and so well paced.

It looks like S-E has taken development away from CyberConnect 2 and have moved it in house with Naoki Hamaguchi ( Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lightning Returns ) taking over as development leader, sounds like development hell going on at the moment, not that it is surprising with Nomura involved.
