FFVII: Getting Huge Materia Pt1
I played for a bit tonight. First thing that happened was one of the weapons attacks Junon, the weapon just happens to help Tifa escape the gas chamber she is in. Just after that the Junon cannon "Sister Ray" blows the head clean off the weapon. The FMVs in this part of the game are some of the best. Any ways you take Tifa out of the gas room and down to the barrel of the Sister Ray. There she gets in a slapping fight with Scarlet. It's a pretty weird fight, but if you press O fast enough you slap Scarlet down.
After the slapping :P Tifa is rescued by the airship: Highwind and you get to keep it for the rest of the game. After a short sequence aboard the ship, you head to the town of Mideel which is in the south east part of the map and is surrounded by forest. It's a small town where the weapons are good, but they cost 30,000 gil each! Theres also this crazy person running around buying all the stuff from the stores. You can talk to her in all the stores so she can help you later on. It's really funny because the "yahooo!" Chocobo music is playing.
Anyway after you buy all the weapons for your characters, when you try to go deeper in to the town, you'll hear a conversation between a couple of Mideel residents. They are talking about a 'spiky-haired kid'. That just happens to be Cloud. He's pretty messed up and Tifa decides she better stay with him. Which kinda sucked for me first I lost Cloud, and now Tifa left the party for the time being, leaving with just Yuffie from my leveled characters. It doesn't matter that much because there isn't all that much fighting in this part of the game any way. That and my main characters where pushing level 50, making the other characters about 41.
After Tifa leaves the characters(okay, maybe just Barret does) decides that Cid should be the leader of the group. After that you can begin the quests for the 4 "Huge Materia". The first one I did was the Corel Reactor one. To get it you have to catch up to the Shinra train and then battle across the cars to get to the engine. Once you defeat the simple soldier, you have to try and stop the train from taking out North Corel. It's not all that hard you just keep pressing down+Triangle. It's almost humorus because Down+Triangle is technically the brake but the train keeps speeding up. And it's hard not to laugh at Cid's "Shhiiiii---!" And Red XIII telling him that the train is speeding up and not slowing down, thanks obvious man :P After you complete the mission you get the first of the Materia, and the town's people will reward you with powerful Ultima Materia.
Now I was going to do the second quest and get the Materia from Fort Condor, but completing that little mini-game is a lot easier with a ton of money. So I ran around outside of Mideel and earned enough AP to MASTER an All Materia. Luckly I still had a weapon that gave double growth and 3 All's at 4 stars so it didn't take quite as long as it could have. When you sell a Mastered All, you get.... 1,400,000, gil!!! That's right you just walk into any store and sell this thing for 1.4 million gil. Man these stores must really hoard money to be able to buy that from you XD
Anyway I'll play some more later or tomorrow. BTW I'm about 29 Hours in now. that means about 30 or so to go...
