(lots of V words) That doesn't have random battles either though.  Attitude Indicator posted:no random battles in vandal hearts. there are like 6 extra battles or something, but they\re really hard to find without a guide. Yeah, you need like 6 keys from certain maps and doing the six extra stages (which are pretty loving hard) unlocks the final overpowered class for the main character, though you only get to use it for like four or five stages by the time you get it.

speaking of gel breasts, Im playing LR and I find myself using lightning's watery chorus garb for the majority of the game and as the default field garb for two reasons: 1. Perversion 2. The story is much more enjoyable when lightning is delivering her somber lines about being gods saviour and saving souls while dressed as an asian prostitute.

Maybe it was the Xbox live version I played or something? I'm certain it had random battles but it might've been a different game entirely and I only played a little bit. Or I'm just mis-remembering a game I played 4-5 years ago.

Playing VII at the moment with a team consisting of Cloud, Yuffie and Red XIII, just at the point where we have to go nab a submarine? I stopped playing for two weeks and forgot where I had to do, does anyone find as they get older this happens more often with RPGs? Don't know why but now that the concept of SOLDIER thing has been figured out, the story got a little bit dry for my tastes. Yet again my first FF was VIII, maybe I like melodrama with my silly haired teens haha.

You need to go to Junon and head for the Underwater Mako Reactor; the boss there is notoriously a giant douche, since he hits pretty hard and will pick up your characters, temporarily removing them from the fight. I think you might also run the risk of hitting them with target-all attacks (since the arms count as different targets?) but I might be misremembering. Once you have get on the sub, you play a silly minigame, pick up the Key to the Ancients from an underwater alcove, then forget you have a sub. And I mean, I would have to put a game down for years to forget what I was last doing, but I also have problems in my brain that make me latch onto inconsequential details about things rather than keeping anything important. I picked up Persona 3 again last week after not playing it for almost a year and immediately knew exactly what I was doing last and where I needed to go.

I've got a lot of the enemy skills, so it should be a bit easy, ultimate weapon was easy as long as I kept a level head and peeps healed. Any other tips for this part of the game? I feel like I'm nearing the end ish. I think I'm not really taking the story in, I remember what I did but not specifically what to do next. I dunno VII isn't grabbing my attention as much VIII, IX and XII (still need to finish X). Shame there isn't a character who says "on to [junon] to get the [submarine]" in so many words or if there is I couldn't find him!

Any other tips for this part of the game? I feel like I'm nearing the end ish. Generally you can pick up that kind of information on the airship; either the other playable characters or the crew will mention something about the next objective, although at the point of the game you're at it'll mostly be "let's get the next Huge Materia!" without specifying where that would be. Of course, I believe the one you got was the second-to-last one, which would make your next destination Rocket Town; I think something should happen once you finish up with the sub that makes that a really obvious next destination. VII's biggest problem in that regard (and it was something that plagued a lot of RPGs of the era) is that the story will mention one time where you need to head next, then never again. Which is great if you're playing straight through, but not so much if you happen to put it down for a while on account of real life. As far as advice goes... well, as long as you've been keeping your party adequately leveled, you shouldn't really run into any problems; after you beat this next boss, there won't be another one for several hours. Unless you haven't done the second half of Yuffie's Wutai sidequest (the Pagoda) yet, in which case there are a few laughably easy bosses for her to fight solo. The only other thing I can say is that the code for the last Huge Materia is Cirlce-Square-X-X, and I only tell you because the game does a terrible job of communicating what it wants you to do in that section. I can understand your waning interest, though; you've hit the point in VII that occurs in every Final Fantasy, where the plot kind of just falls apart right before the end. Some games are affected more than others by this, and VII gets hit particularly hard, but all of them have it to some degree.

If I remember correctly I've got both the huge materia, the one from fort condor where you do the mini game again and get Phoenix and the one from the reactor near Barrett's little home town thing, where you freak out on the train with Cid. Yuffie hits an average 1000 and is currently on lv 50, should be enough to take wutai?

It didn't seem all that special at the time but if it's a completely different game that'd explain why it wasn't living up to the hype.

Also are there any, aside from just the screen res stuff, for XIII? Do those have any scope for modding? I mean, the guys over at Qhimm spent years picking 7 apart so I won't rule their abilities out, but I wouldn't mind a balance mod or difficulty upper or something, now that I've 5-starred every mission, I honestly want more 13 but there's not really anything left to do. PS: Vandal Hearts 1 and 2 are my favorite SRPGs ever, blood geysers for the blood geyser god :metal101: Front Mission 3 also pro play.

Anyone can help me out here, I picked up VII, got to Junon. Walking along the "Main Street" in upper Junon I got a cut scene of Cloud saying "we're missing something"and then returned to normal, as far as I know, I've done everything up to this point and the airship crew keep saying "duuuh let's move on to Junon " If I didn't have such a long period between sessions I'd probably remember what that something is.

Halfway through upper Junon is this kinda military tunnel thing where you can either go out the other side to more civilian area, or head left down the tunnel. Head left down the tunnel and keep going.

Cloud is noticing that something is conspicuously absent from Junon, but it doesn't affect your mission. The giant cannon from the town has been relocated elsewhere.
