I think one of the shoulder buttons highlights the enemies range of attack so I generally kept that on and never really moved into their range unless I knew I could kill them, they'll come to you for the most part

Just did the Wutai side quest, maybe we're a bit more spoon fed as gamers these days but I have no clue how anyone would be expected to complete that without the use of a guide.

Like, she leaves the screen, you follow her, you then see her leave again, etc or you see her badly disguised, the game practically tells you about a hidden passage when you corner her in a corridor and she disappears into this air. Anyway, I dunno, maybe an generational thing

"....attempting to get your Materia back which can be extremely frustrating to complete without a walkthrough or if it is your first time playing the game. In fact, many gamers have been known to give up at this point and restart their game!"

skerry wrote: » It's from the Jegged guide. I think the part about restarting the game is if you were stupid enough to only have one save file and save over that after Yuffi stole your materia and then get beaten by the boss and be unable to get your materia back then. I never played the game on release.

The only two difficulty spikes were the demon wall and the boss that grabs you in the sub dock. Demon wall is fine once you put characters in the He back row and the other guy isn't too bad once you get a good rhythm. As for the blurry mess backgrounds, it is an issue with the recent releases. On a crt they look an awful lot better.

Its a little bit further than where you are now, but back in the day, playstation memory cards werent exactly massive, so using loads of different saves was something you would try to avoid, i got a second memory card soon after that restart :pac:
skerry wrote: » Forget how easy we have it these days alright with memory space. Just checked PS 1 memory card storage capacity there and its 1MB :eek: Makes more sense now why people would have been tripped up with only one save file.
