FFVII: The Fall of Shinra, Ultimate Weapon and a Gold Chocobo!
Well there isn't going to be as much here as there may have been in the last few posts. One, because it's 4:13am and two, I only did a few things in the game.
First thing on my list was completing Disc 2. To do that the characters parachute in to Midgar. There isn't much of intrest here. W-Item materia is very cool, if you know (or want to) exploit the trick. You battle Scarlet and Hieddger in Proud Clod (what the hell is Clod?!). It's a really straight forward battle, as most of the battles are at this point of the game, just summon powerful monsters and use attacks and just beat the crap out of everything. Hojo was the next to get this treatment, that was after we find out he's actually Sephiroth's father! He injects himself with Jenova Cells and turns into this weird freaky thing. After the fight the team reflects on themselves. And the Highwind(airship) turns rocket powered!
At this point you can just go and finish the last couple of hours of the game and beat Sephiroth/Jenova and win the game... Or... You can finish up doing all the extra things. The first thing I did was chase around Ultimate Weapon. I beat him with ease. Then I set out to do one of the most annoying and time consuming things in FF7:
Chocobo Breeding
This is insane. But it's not all that hard, first you have to go around the world and collect a few select chocobos. Then you have to feed them greens to make them better. The best greens are Sylkis Greens, but they are very expensive, like 5000 gil each. So what you do is buy 2 of them and use the W-Item trick, and get 99(BTW this works for any consumable item, even Megalixers!!). After you feed you chocobo 90(which is way more then enough) you race it and WIN 9 chocobo races at the Golden Saucer. You do this for the other 2 chocobos you cought. Then you breed 2 of them, to get a green or a blue C'bo. Follow that up with the same parents creating a opposite one for the first one you got. Then the Blue and Green mate. Black one is made. Black with Wonderful MALE Chocobo = Golden Chocobo!
That sounds easy, but it's far from it. First there is the problem of the chocobo menus themselves. Some of them don't work unless you have the default controls on (O is select and X is cancel). So if you are like me and like the X button to select, then you have to change to the default controls everytime you want to use cirtain menus.
Second, the chocobo racing is a pain really, it's not exactly needed except for your Wonderful Male. But it helps to get the right color or gender that you need to keep going to gold. It's also good for getting GP to use in getting OmniSlash at the battle square. But the main problem is if you use the technique of 90 greens then your chocobo outclasses the others and you can win the race by a minute sometimes, that sounds good but you can't advance until ATLEAST ONE other rider crosses the line.
Thrid is the fact that you can't just quickly breed. You have to wait, because c'bos that just breeded or where just born can't mate. So that means you have to go off and from what I have found, raise at least one level of exp. So depending on what Level your on it could take awhile. Raising levels is the fastest way to get you c'bos ready to breed again. Don't believe the guides that tell you to "do stuff" to waste time cause it really doesn't seem to help.
And the final thing is that sometimes you do not get the gender or color that you need to get to the next step so you have to make sure you save before breeding so that you can reset and reload your game.
Well I got my Gold Chocobo, called him Goldy(bad name... I'm tired, it's 4am...). I got Knights of the Round and a bunch of the other hard to get materia and stopped for the night. Tonight I plan on finishing the game so check back sometime tonight and I'll hopefull have the game done!
