Before you decide to say I forgot something...do your research. For example, the Ribbon hidden in the Gaia Cliffs is NOT missable. Ribbons can be morphed by Tonberries for an unlimited amount.
@laneface I'm curious to know why didn't you include Bahamut ZERO as a missable item? Granted, you can get the summon itself with the master summon materia, but if you don't get the actual materia then you can't make anymore master summon materia.
It’s actually possible to beat them with zero button presses with the ultimate materia wombo combo. Just start the fight and go make a sandwich or something.
Really appreciate this video. I used to have a VHS video that was an in depth guide to everything FF7, but lost it when I was a teenager. 42 now, and everything is digital. I'm replaying on my switch. Thanks again.
@itsAphelion. I'm on it as we speak and so far so good. I played it on the original console growing up, the ps4 and now the switch and the speed up button is a godsend. It might be on sale now and I would def say you should pull the trigger, first scene and nostalgia hit like a left hook and I love that I can bring it w me.
@@ghostoflazlo I find being able to turn off random encounters as much of a blessing as fast forward. Nothing worse than getting stopped every 5 seconds for monsters you can one shot, etc.
Man, I've played FF7 countless times from start to completion way back in the day and haven't played it again in a very long time -- and just by watching your video I'm reminded of the magic -- not just of the story, and everything else -- but just THAT age of videogames where since they relied on pre-rendered backgrounds, they could really go crazy and diverse when it comes to the setting. I think that's what I miss most from that time of games.
Lol we all love FF7 but if you know the history of the game's creation you would know the entire game is being held together by scotch tape, not exactly a masterpiece when you take off the blinders.
The problem now isn't that they can't be diverse with the setting, it's that it isn't economically feasible to do it on this scale in a modern game. The technology is there, but the time it takes is enormous.
A couple things: 1. It is possible to have a unique weapon or armor equipped to Aerith and preserve it after the Demons Gate fight. Due to a map script oddity, it is possible to open the menu after the fight to unequip these during the post-temple cutscene after Sephiroth takes the black materia. If you are pressing and holding the Menu button (Triangle) when Cloud tackles Aerith, there is one frame where the menu is enabled and will be opened, allowing for Aerith's equipment to be changed and even for Great Gospel to be taught. 2. The Behemoth Horn should appear when going up the stairs in the Shinra Tower. The reason it did not was because you actually activated a glitch I call Stairs Storage in this particular playthrough. The stairs sequence is supposed to consist of nine total screens with stairs, but the game only actually has three stairs map files: one for the bottom, one for the top, and one for all of the middle screens. It just repeats the middle map seven total times, and so the game keeps a counter for how many times the middle screen has been visited, which starts at 0 when going from the bottom screen to the middle screen, and goes up by 1 each screen transition until, when it is 6, the next transition goes to the top screen instead. For some reason, this variable is saved to file, and it is not initialized when entering the bottom of the stairs. This means that, if you climb the stairs once, the middle screen counter stays at 6, and so if you were to end up at the bottom of the stairs again without going down the stairs, it's still 6, so going from the bottom to the middle screen puts you on the middle screen with the counter at 6, immediately taking you to the top screen afterwards. This probably happened because you took the stairs on your first trip up Shinra Tower back on Disc 1. As you see in that part of the video, you went up the bottom screen, went up the middle screen once, then were immediately at the top screen in much less than the normal amount of time to climb the stairs. The Behemoth Horn only spawns on the middle screen when the counter is 4, so if you have stairs storage, you effectively warp right past the screen it is on. 3. You dont need to talk to vendors before the destruction of Mideel to have access to all of the shops post-destruction, talking to them post-destruction also works. 4. The Mythril Clip is not missable in general, as it is Red's initially equipped weapon.
Also I believe the items that disappear from shops "after disc 1" is actually more specifically "after you speak to the woman who warns you not to progress without a snowboard." At this point Shinra soldiers and Elena blockade the town and you can't backtrack until you get the airship (at which point the items have changed), but if you haven't spoken to her yet, there's nothing stopping you from returning to the Tiny Bronco and doing whatever you want. Same goes for the Umbrella at the Speed Square. Are you sure about Added Cut/Alexander? I don't recall the snow fields becoming inaccessible (though Gaea's Cliff itself does).
In Gaea's Cliff, 1 screen before the fight with Schizo where there is a healing pool (or pad) and a saving point, you may get to attack a blue dragon, and this blue dragon will always drop a dragon armlet. Tetra elemental can be obtained from morphing the Cactuer on Cactuer island. Ribbons can be obtaind from morphing the Ho-Chu during the battle saucer (special battle) Great job for this awesome video!
@@Ch0senJuan honestly? I got everything up to the northern crater right after fighting schizo and was farming 99 gigas armlets. I just put everything on hold. It takes some massive dedication, and streaming something like that on twitch wasn't catching much attention. I haven't given up, I'm just not currently grinding that anymore.
The mideel section and the key have been known and there is STILL a guide online by absolute steve, a 100 percent guide that I still use to this day, I believe it was written in notepad back in 2004, its the only text guide you will ever need, absolute steve was an absolute legend because back then there were no videos like this, or indeed videos !
@@nolongermatters4671 It's a lot easier to just look up a list of missable items. It'll show them in order of appearance and how to get each one. No need for a full walk through, have you never played the game without one? If not, what a lost experience...
Outstanding job on the video! One thing to mention about the Enemy Skill Materia in general: if you have learned an Enemy Skill on one Materia and still need to learn said Enemy Skill on other Materia, it is important to NOT have that Enemy Skill Materia equipped when learning that skill on the other Materia. Other characters can have that Enemy Skill Materia equipped; just not the character that has those Materia equipped that are attempting to learn the enemy skill. Otherwise, the skill will never be learned on the other Materia. Keep up the great work! Cheers!
Jeeesus, could you have worded this more confusingly? Which materia is "that" enemy skill materia? Which one is "the other materia"? Characters can have WHICH one equipped? Holy shit this was hard to read and I still don't know what you're talking about. Stop using qualifiers!
@@mikespearwood3914 yeah the current remake is not what i wanted. I just wanted a nicer graphics Jrpg style menu game not a Devil May Cry 3rd person style game.
@Boco Corwin Technically different game, and to many, not the majority, a worse game. Since the developers wanted the OG to stay alongside the remake, this is the situation they put themselves in.
You mentioned getting Trine from Godo if missing out with the Materia Keeper and Stilvas. I should point out that if you DID get Trine on one of the Enemy Skill materias, DON'T equip the Enemy Skull materias that have Trine for the fight, only equip the ones that don't have it. If Trine is on even one of the ES materias Yuffie has equipped, you can't get it on the others. The game's programming dictates that the one that has it overrides the ones that don't have it and the move wont be learned.
I finally played this game again for the first time on my phone after 20 years. Feels like i'm playing for the first time. Losing memory has it's benefits.
Over 2 decades ago, I remember wanting a full list of all missable items in FF7 when I was first playing this on PS1. This video randomly popped up in my feed and I had moment of nostalgia. It's great to see this game is still so well known that video content is still being made for it!
1:30 I chose to take the ether instead of keeping the battery. This is because the battery is an item that is obtained regardless, it is not a missable item, everyone gets 3 batteries in the game whether they want to or not. On the other hand, not using the third battery to get the ether means that you left something undone in the game. Having that battery in your inventory at the end of the game only shows that you left a "chest" unopened and your game is not complete.
That's my approach to "trading unique items for non-unique items." I note down in my journal that I traded the A/B/C Coupons for 100% treasure. (Same in FF8 and FF9, with the Girl Next Door item and colored stones).
I agree, keeping it in your inventory is a flag that you didn't pick up a treasure. If someone really does want to keep the Battery, that means they will also have to duplicate ultimate limit break items for a full inventory, which to me goes beyond the scope of a perfect file.
Great video. I've managed to get atleast 1 of all of these items but I can't believe there are actually people who will try to get 99 of each, gotta have the patience of a saint!
@@elwoodrosadocarrasco787 I know. What I meant was without glitches. I've seen people on Twitch attempt to get 99 of everything without using the W-Item glitch
8:01 theres a Ribbon hidden in the same cave as the Javelin! very important and very very well hidden item, it is on the right side, after that first "bridge" just press right and you go right through the wall to get that well hidden Ribbon !
The lack of acknowledgement for Trine was making me really itchy the whole video until you went back to address it at the end. Accidentally missed it on quite a few playthroughs as a kid.
thanks for that last info about yuffie's father having the trine enemy skill, i always got one of my e-skill materia less 1 star cause i never thought that fight got a chance to get that enemy skill
I have to thank you, there is one thing I didnt know that actually doesn't appear to be in ANY walkthroughs either... stealing that weapon from the basalisks. Thanks dude!
To lose the Fort Condor mini-game, you don't need to pay any unit: you can just cancel and start. CMD Grand Horn has a Vagyrisk Claw depending on the team's level, not especially the 3 first times. You can miss Pandora's Box even with ESkill equipped against Dragon Zombie. He'll TRY only once to cast it. If he failed to cast it because he ran out of MP for example, you'll never see that skill.
@@steponmemommy9323 These are different things. * Turbo Ether will wipe all his MP, making him fail Pandora's Box and you miss the skill definitely. * Elixir and Megalixir will inflict Death on him without wiping or refilling his MP, so all depends on the MP he had left. * Petrifying him will end the battle without even triggering his final attack, letting Pandora's Box still available for another encounter.
@@ErionAireTam @Erion AireTam You're right, I completely forgot that the elixir/megalixir would instakill an undead monster. I had no idea that the turbo ether would wipe his MP, though. The petrification tip is important, however, because if you're keeping track of his MP from the start, you'll know when to opt out of killing him off in favor or petrification.
I just made it to the final crater with no misables. 99 iron bangles but w-iteming the earth mallets, v claws etc. I’m so happy. Also got trine and pandora’s box on all 4 enemy skills.
I also duped cosmo memory, alex with source, add cut with source, and even shield with source (which wasn’t even in Steve’s guide.) Once I level my characters to 99 with perfect hp leveling… i think I will be done.
1:23 the new threat mod has a pretty elegant solution for this. Using the battery on the third box actually gives you another battery. (to Cloud's annoyance) This allows you to place every battery while still leaving you with one to keep.
@@charlesroseman9466 It has no other use in the game. I guess there must have been some argument somewhere about if a 100% completion playthrough would either use every battery or keep one of the batteries because it is its own unique key item which you can see from your inventory. Strange to think obtaining every treasure and having every item would be mutually exclusive feats.
Well it's not like you can keep all key items like Midgar parts, and digestive, and since the different dress up items are mutually exclusive, 100% key items is just impossible.
The quest to get into Don Corneo's mansion includes missable key items, as not all of them are required to get in. You only require a dress and wig so if you don't get the underwear, make-up, tiara and cologne then you'll miss them permanently.
True. That one is tricky because there are multiple wigs dresses and colognes and you can only have one of each. Most people say having the best of the 3 (which gets Cloud picked) counts as collecting "all of them". But yeah, I didn't want to include key items partially for that reason.
@@laneface don't they disappear from your inventory at one point anyway? I want to say the first time I played through the game -- towards the end I noticed I had drastically fewer key items than before. Maybe my brain is just farting on me.
@@quintusantell2912 nope they're in your key items for the duration, but yeah as mentioned you cannot possibly get all of the wigs and dresses, so only the extra stuff is considered missable.
That is the most...unique...pronunciation of Ramuh I've ever heard. What a great video, though! I still think that Pandora's Box once per save file thing is nuts (in a cool way).
There is that weapon that I missed so hard, I never knew it existed before I played the Remake: Aerith's Bladed Staff. I did not even know we could fight against Eligor in the original game. I don't remember encontering it at all through any of my playthrough of FFVII original!
It's a rare enemy, only on the second screen, and at such low levels the steal chance is really low as well. You could be there for an hour, and half of it just trying to steal.
@@lostnumbr You're right about how strong it is considering how early you can get it. All the weapons you can purchase in Junon in disc 1 can be stolen from an enemy. So you can choose not to buy any of them if you steal it instead. 1. Eligor (Train Graveyard): Striking Staff 2. SOLDIER:3rd (Shinra HQ): Hardedge 3. Custom Sweeper (Midgar Area, World Map): Atomic Scissors 4. Madouge (Mythril Mine): Grand Glove 5. Formula (Junon Area, World Map): Boomerang 6. Bagnadrana (Mt. Corel): Diamond Pin
First thing, Bladed Staff isn't really missable because when you clear the game you can redo mission at anytime, hence none item in FF7 remake is actually missable (it's just missable for first playthrough). Second, Bladed Staff never exist in the original game. In original game it called Striking Staff and as other people already point out, it can obtain from many other places such as purchase from Junon or Gongaga or even steal from Harpy in Golden Saucer. You probably already have it but not recognize by the name.
I remember playing this game back in the late 90s for the first time.. I couldn't beat it, no matter how hard I tried and how indepth I was with tutorials to find everything and beat the final two weapons in the game, Ruby and Emerald. I ended up getting so mad.. I broke all three Discs and never played the game for the longest while.. lol. Then, fast forward to like 2015 or 2016 and I bought the greatest hits version and eventually, beat it properly. Getting all the materia/mastered versions, beat the last two weapons, and got all the Emeny Skills maxed out.
I used to get gamer rage as a teen. I'd scream at the TV, throw the controller on the floor, but it was never enough to make me want to destroy the game discs. That's ridiculous taking your anger over a videogame that far.
@scorpionwins6378 Yeah, not my greatest moments as a teenager growing up. Things I look back on and realize how certain things just flipped a switch inside me, and I lost it. But I've calmed down a lot since then.
Dunno if they count as missable, but there are 2 items in Gold Saucer late game that can be overlooked. The first is the Ink, which can be won in the submarine game (level 1 I think), and the second one is the Flayer, a weapon for Cid, which can be won in the shooting coaster and getting 5,000 points.
There's also a miss-able ribbon in the crater mountain in the first room before you fight the two-headed dragon. It is on the second story, to the very right of the first ice ledge you walk over in that room. It's misleading because the wall to the right that represents the cave wall is totally black, but if you continue right, Cloud will pass through a hidden passage and inside is a box with a ribbon, making it the second, box-obtained ribbon that appears very shortly after you've progressed passed the first ribbon box from the Temple of Ancients in Disc 1.
Agreed - the Ribbon item itself is obtainable through many means; however, this particular Ribbon is missable insofar as Cloud and Co cannot return to this part of the Northern Crater by conventional means during standard playthroughs.
When I was young and didn't know about Tonberries this second ribbon frustrated me soooo much. First playthrough I found it I didn't think it was important. Second playthrough I was like, where the hell did I get that ribbon.
Ribbon is the difference between 5 perfect runs in the arena versus spending an entire day grinding CP for Omni 🥲...and this sounds just as tragic ♡ Especially when you consider that it's easily missable, is arguably a needed, end-game item, and guides like this and the PRIMA strategy guides all miss it too 💔
@@kuroseki By modern definition, a "missable" item is one you can truly miss. While this *particular* item is missable, technically, it doesn't count, because you can get an infinite number of the actual item itself. Missables are things you CANNOT go back and get.
Word of advice for players considering a "perfect save file." Keeping the Battery means you missed a treasure. It's the same for not using Coupons A, B, and C in the Shinra Building. Also, if you really want a full inventory you will have to use glitches to duplicate Ultimate Limit Break items, which may be going too far for some people. Ultimately it depends on whether you want to collect all treasure or have every spot filled in the inventory.
Actually a good video. I'm pretty well versed in FF7 and was surprised how accurate it was. One other honorable mention that you didn't list though that I'd like to mention is the second Phoenix materia. It is actually possible to get 2 of them that have 0AP by waiting to pick up the one on top of Fort Condor, then you go to Bone Village to dig it up, then you can go back to Fort Condor to pick up the original Phoenix and have 2 with 0AP rather than just 1
The Vagirysk Claw is a freaking nightmare. I had a ruined save file when I was a kid because I missed that particular item. I did get everything and found basically every item by myself, but somehow I still missed it and only learned about it when I saw some sort of items list. I restarted the game all over just to get it. First got it from the Fort Condor but later leanred that you can get it from those enemies at the beaches when your level is low.
12:23 I very specifically remember the "Tough" ring being misspelled as "Touph Ring"...the list of Mandela Effects I have with this game grows again.. it's so strange. Unless you're playing some updated version where all the typos were fixed.
I remember once doing a playthrough and I got Aeris's Final limit, it was kind of fun to have grand guard, and when i got the princess guard I equipped it. Otherwise I don't like using her it just takes levels from someone you get to keep.
Which was my bitch about Aerith in the beginning. I was the same way, I'd have any other party but her. My preferred final party is Cloud, Cid, and Tifa.
@@calanon534 I hate having to successfully pull off every part of Tifa's limit breaks without any failure in order to advance her limit breaks. One fail breaks the chain and it's back to square one... so annoying. I'm with you on Cid though.
@@calanon534 It was pretty satisfying to give her a chance, i remember her magic power being really good, which was kind of cool as I kept her leveled up with my other 2 mains...kind of sad to see her go though, i did get a few grand gaurds off and some hits in with the princess guard, what else can u ask for right
@@dirtyfrench2926 Her 'ballistics' make up for her Limit Break shortcomings, and DAMN the supposed remake to hell for making them tiny. I never relied on Limit Breaks besides Cloud's overmuch, anyway. If I could get half her Reels to HIT, I'd be happy.
The Behemoth Horn thing is a fun oddity I noticed recently as well. When climbing up during disc 2, the game skips most of the stairs due to some sort of routing bug, and you end up exiting on floor 23. The game even acknowledges you're on floor 23 when you check the elevator. When you re-enter, all the stairs reappear and you end up descending the full 60 floors like normal. Since the set of stairs with Behemoth Horn gets skipped by the bug, it doesn't show up, but will during the descent since they load correctly again. Weirdest bug ever, found it myself when playing a few years ago.
I believe you forgot about Aerith’s Fairy Tale weapon. I don’t recall it being purchasable and the fight you can get it from is only available prior to your second visit to the Gold Saucer. A more amusing missable is the first Chocobo Lure Materia which is only purchasable prior to getting the Highwind (or is it during disc 1, I thought shop inventories changed after getting the Highwind but you said Disc 2)
id say its more likel;y that the random shitty old guide he used to parot this shit info just didnt mention it. like half the shit he says is outright wrong, and a good number of these items are far from missable, or are only missable in the sense that 1 specific copy of the item is missable.
I appreciate your efforts. Honestly I'm more in the camp of 'simplify your inventory as much as possible'; meaning I sell everything that is no longer my current best option. This did come back to bite me in FF9 for synthesis, but I'm usually fine operating this way.
@@Arbron Yuffie actually hints about going west if you have her in your party before the tiny bronco is first obtained after defeating Palmer. But it's probably better to do it after Temple of the Ancients because that's where you obtain a lot of the no slot weapons for your party members.
I've always loved the ability to customise menu colours, tried loads of variants I've loved but never tried let alone seen the black to white, that goes so hard.
There's a ribbon that's in an off screen cave in the gaia cliffs. I'm surprised you didn't include that since there are a limited number of those you can get
@@Judah_Katzenberger At that point like half the chests in the game are missable, even chests with potions. It's about missable items, with limited amounts of them which can be missed. Ribbons aren't missable, you can still get as many as you want at the end of the game.
From what I remember, the item in the stairs is an ether when you obtain it at the beginning of the game. If you don't obtain that ether at the beginning when given a chance to take the stairs, it will still be an ether later in the game when raiding Midgar.
you missed a few. 1. there is a monster in the train graveyard area called Eligor you can steal a striking staff from it. strongest weapon for Aries at that point of the game. 2. there is a monster called soldier 3rd in the shinra building you can steal a weapon from it called Hardedge strongest weapon for Cloud at this point of this game. 3. there is a monster called Moth Slasher in the shinra building you can steal a piece of armour called Carbon Bangle. 4. there is a monster called custom sweeper just outside Midgar you can steal a weapon from it called Atomic Scissors strongest weapon for Barret at this point of the game.
Lol makes me laugh after all these years there's items in this game I didn't even know existed. Does anyone happen to know what those tiny scale Shina soldiers do or where you find them all? Great video
I seem to remember there being a weapon for Yuffie from the Fort Condor fights. Completely missable, and I want to say the window to get it was incredibly small.
Man i can't believe i restarted this game like 37 times and never finished it. First time reaching north crate i couldnt beat Sephiroth. Then after several restarts through the years i finally got a golden chocobo and was able to collect KotR and lost interest. Another time i couldnt beat the Weapons. And you still manage to trigger my interest restarting my steam playthrough and see how far i got. I remember getting thr golden chocobo made me feel so badass last time.
Check out the 7th heaven modloader and tsunamods for HD mods and their new Echo-S fully voice acted mod, I'm currently streaming it and I've been falling back in love with the game.
Idk but I’m finding this guide pretty useful for playing this game. These missables are fucking important and sucks to miss them. I was crushed when I missed Ramuh summon on first playthrough
Hey man, just wanted to say I'm a huge FF7 enthusiast and have completed this run. I appreciated your delivery of content, the background music, clip editing. It's a good video dude, thanks and well done.
I played FFVII way back when it came out. I was surprised on the second playthrough, after having downloaded a txt strategy guide that almost ⅓ of the game's content was missable/skippable.
Younger me would have loved this guide! Alas my disca broke and I was stuck on disc 2 FOREVER.... But kid me was able to snag Ifrit and Ramuh so that was good.
Awesome video Laneface. Been loving your final fantasy vii content. I have a video request for your next video. You should make it a video on the date mechanics in the game I've been having a hard time trying to get points for specific characters to go to the gold saucer with me such as Yuffie and Barret, Always end up with Aerith/Aeris or Tifa. I bet you could make a great walkthrough on this.
I'll see what I can do. I've never messed with this a lot because I prefer choosing Tifa. But I have video of all the places you get points towards a character. EDIT* Alright I think I got everything I need. This will be my next video :)
You can find also an ribbon at the Temple of Ancients. By using the clock, i believe you have to get the Clock at 4AM. It leads you to a Chest where the Ribbon is
The guide I started using about 1/3 way through has helped me with a lot of these. I always used a Game Shark for the PS1 so I had NO idea about Pandora’s Box until I acquired it last night! What a nasty programming choice. Great video, mate!
I think you're always guaranteed to at least see Pandora's Box. And if you're making use of enemy skill materia at all, chances are you'd have it on at least one character.
I love, love, love this video. Recently when ill, I even fell asleep to it lol. Just makes me want to play and replay this game, then jump on RPG Maker VX and make my own game!
for your 2nd or 3rd etc playthrough. On your first playthroughs, miss all you want, they put all this stuff in the game to make it interesting, not to make it a chore.
I missed out on all of Yuffie and Vincent's sidequests because I didn't know about them until Disc 3. The upside was I never used Yuffie or Vincent in battle so it wasn't a huge loss but my OCD was triggered
If you're playing on a PS1 emulator, you can cheat the Speed Square game by making a save state right at the end of the minigame (basically a memory dump) and using a hex editor then searching for whatever number your score was at. Change it to any number under 9999 and reload the save state.
Also the Shiva materia can be missed if your materia inventory is full when Priscilla gives you the materia. Although to make that you need a shit ton of money to buy that many materia
They may have removed it from re-releases of the game but there's a second ribbon you can get at Gaea's Cliff in a hidden room that has no indicator that it's even there, you just run along a wall on the right side of the screen and it's in a chest in a hidden pocket room.
I remember missing out on Matramagic and had to figure out how to go back and get it. I pretty much 💯 this game though. Was a blast to get every last item you could.
Amazing,mostly because I feel i'm not the only one that is so psycho and maniacal about this game and getting 99 of everythings and all possible item in the inventory😅thank you
One thing to note about Gelnika and the Reno/Rude fight. You must fight them and steal their items before you raid Shinra HQ for the second time during disc 2. They will not be in Gelnika later on in disc 3. Something I would find out the hard way once upon a time.
Through a glitch you can obtain two Phoenix materia (without having to master it), which does matter to completionists. Win the final Fort Condor battle, but don't grab the materia. Progress to disc 3, dig it up in Bone Village, then return to Fort Condor and collect it. (The game must assume that if you're on disc 3 without Phoenix then you must have lost the battle, so it lets you dig it up. But due to this oversight you can have your cake and eat it too.)
On the note of missable extra unmastered copies of materia, there's also two extra Elemental (one from guessing the password in Shinra HQ, and the other from the piano when you control Tifa on disc 2).
Great video, I'm doing a replay on the switch for the first time in years. I already missed both curse rings....oh well can't remember where everything is.
Great video my man. Huge materia are missable too though, right? Thought I read they were. If so, that limits how many master materia you can get in the end game if you can’t cash them in at Cosmo Canyon.
So what was the point of the Soldier set that you can pick up In Juno? I haven’t played this game in forever but I remember something with the soldier and something about a set.
Before you decide to say I forgot something...do your research. For example, the Ribbon hidden in the Gaia Cliffs is NOT missable. Ribbons can be morphed by Tonberries for an unlimited amount.
You missed nail bat jk
@@garadak7. Lol wow this has got to be the #1 worst attempt at trolling
@laneface I'm curious to know why didn't you include Bahamut ZERO as a missable item? Granted, you can get the summon itself with the master summon materia, but if you don't get the actual materia then you can't make anymore master summon materia.
@@Boosted_E_ pretty sure it can be dug up in bone village...or so ive heard. i never did it that way
@@BaStAgE That's true, but only if you picked up the other two Bahamut materias. If you missed either one then you can't dig up zero.

Time for the remake.
They took me so long as a kid.
Wow I never even got a golden chocobo
Consume to fill
It’s actually possible to beat them with zero button presses with the ultimate materia wombo combo. Just start the fight and go make a sandwich or something.

Man, I've played FF7 countless times from start to completion way back in the day and haven't played it again in a very long time -- and just by watching your video I'm reminded of the magic -- not just of the story, and everything else -- but just THAT age of videogames where since they relied on pre-rendered backgrounds, they could really go crazy and diverse when it comes to the setting. I think that's what I miss most from that time of games.
Lol we all love FF7 but if you know the history of the game's creation you would know the entire game is being held together by scotch tape, not exactly a masterpiece when you take off the blinders.
@Scotty_JeBo0m He never called it a masterpiece though
The problem now isn't that they can't be diverse with the setting, it's that it isn't economically feasible to do it on this scale in a modern game. The technology is there, but the time it takes is enormous.
@@Scotty_Bo0m glitches = soul
A couple things:
1. It is possible to have a unique weapon or armor equipped to Aerith and preserve it after the Demons Gate fight. Due to a map script oddity, it is possible to open the menu after the fight to unequip these during the post-temple cutscene after Sephiroth takes the black materia. If you are pressing and holding the Menu button (Triangle) when Cloud tackles Aerith, there is one frame where the menu is enabled and will be opened, allowing for Aerith's equipment to be changed and even for Great Gospel to be taught.
2. The Behemoth Horn should appear when going up the stairs in the Shinra Tower. The reason it did not was because you actually activated a glitch I call Stairs Storage in this particular playthrough. The stairs sequence is supposed to consist of nine total screens with stairs, but the game only actually has three stairs map files: one for the bottom, one for the top, and one for all of the middle screens. It just repeats the middle map seven total times, and so the game keeps a counter for how many times the middle screen has been visited, which starts at 0 when going from the bottom screen to the middle screen, and goes up by 1 each screen transition until, when it is 6, the next transition goes to the top screen instead.
For some reason, this variable is saved to file, and it is not initialized when entering the bottom of the stairs. This means that, if you climb the stairs once, the middle screen counter stays at 6, and so if you were to end up at the bottom of the stairs again without going down the stairs, it's still 6, so going from the bottom to the middle screen puts you on the middle screen with the counter at 6, immediately taking you to the top screen afterwards. This probably happened because you took the stairs on your first trip up Shinra Tower back on Disc 1. As you see in that part of the video, you went up the bottom screen, went up the middle screen once, then were immediately at the top screen in much less than the normal amount of time to climb the stairs.
The Behemoth Horn only spawns on the middle screen when the counter is 4, so if you have stairs storage, you effectively warp right past the screen it is on.
3. You dont need to talk to vendors before the destruction of Mideel to have access to all of the shops post-destruction, talking to them post-destruction also works.
4. The Mythril Clip is not missable in general, as it is Red's initially equipped weapon.
Also I believe the items that disappear from shops "after disc 1" is actually more specifically "after you speak to the woman who warns you not to progress without a snowboard."
At this point Shinra soldiers and Elena blockade the town and you can't backtrack until you get the airship (at which point the items have changed), but if you haven't spoken to her yet, there's nothing stopping you from returning to the Tiny Bronco and doing whatever you want. Same goes for the Umbrella at the Speed Square.
Are you sure about Added Cut/Alexander? I don't recall the snow fields becoming inaccessible (though Gaea's Cliff itself does).
@Chrono Ryono i believe you're right about being able to return to the icicle area to retrieve alexander etc
Nerd
so how do you reset stairs storage? if the item don't spawn
@@maniau The items do spawn. All that Stairs Storage does is cause you to warp past where the items normally are.
In Gaea's Cliff, 1 screen before the fight with Schizo where there is a healing pool (or pad) and a saving point, you may get to attack a blue dragon, and this blue dragon will always drop a dragon armlet.
Tetra elemental can be obtained from morphing the Cactuer on Cactuer island.
Ribbons can be obtaind from morphing the Ho-Chu during the battle saucer (special battle)
Great job for this awesome video!
Ribbons can also be morphed from the Master Tonberry in the final dungeon
I'm in the process of a "perfect save" attempt right now, and this is absolutely the most helpful video. basically all of your videos are. thank you.
How’d it go
@@Ch0senJuan honestly? I got everything up to the northern crater right after fighting schizo and was farming 99 gigas armlets. I just put everything on hold. It takes some massive dedication, and streaming something like that on twitch wasn't catching much attention. I haven't given up, I'm just not currently grinding that anymore.
The mideel section and the key have been known and there is STILL a guide online by absolute steve, a 100 percent guide that I still use to this day, I believe it was written in notepad back in 2004, its the only text guide you will ever need, absolute steve was an absolute legend because back then there were no videos like this, or indeed videos !
@@nolongermatters4671 It's a lot easier to just look up a list of missable items. It'll show them in order of appearance and how to get each one. No need for a full walk through, have you never played the game without one? If not, what a lost experience...
I remember that guide. Even at like 13 years old I wondered how anyone could find the time to write all that.
Outstanding job on the video! One thing to mention about the Enemy Skill Materia in general: if you have learned an Enemy Skill on one Materia and still need to learn said Enemy Skill on other Materia, it is important to NOT have that Enemy Skill Materia equipped when learning that skill on the other Materia. Other characters can have that Enemy Skill Materia equipped; just not the character that has those Materia equipped that are attempting to learn the enemy skill. Otherwise, the skill will never be learned on the other Materia. Keep up the great work! Cheers!
Jeeesus, could you have worded this more confusingly? Which materia is "that" enemy skill materia? Which one is "the other materia"? Characters can have WHICH one equipped? Holy shit this was hard to read and I still don't know what you're talking about. Stop using qualifiers!
@@IzraelGravesAKA... Don't equip multiple Enemy Skill materias on the same person. If one already has the skill, the other will not learn the skill.
NICE thank you Laneface. You and 4-8 productions keep my favorite game alive
@Boco Corwin That is a different game though. Not really a "remake".
@@mikespearwood3914 yeah the current remake is not what i wanted. I just wanted a nicer graphics Jrpg style menu game not a Devil May Cry 3rd person style game.
@Boco Corwin Technically different game, and to many, not the majority, a worse game. Since the developers wanted the OG to stay alongside the remake, this is the situation they put themselves in.
AND nice background ambience while I play ff7.
This game will never die it left too much of an impact on gaming
You mentioned getting Trine from Godo if missing out with the Materia Keeper and Stilvas. I should point out that if you DID get Trine on one of the Enemy Skill materias, DON'T equip the Enemy Skull materias that have Trine for the fight, only equip the ones that don't have it. If Trine is on even one of the ES materias Yuffie has equipped, you can't get it on the others. The game's programming dictates that the one that has it overrides the ones that don't have it and the move wont be learned.
You can still learn ist. Trine can be duplicated at any time. You just need to have it you will be able to put ist on the other materias as well.
@@iwd1705If you have Trine on an Enemy Skill on one character, then that character can not learn Trine on a different Enemy Skill.
@@iwd1705 casting Trine (or any enemy skill) on your own party does not trigger learning the skill.
I finally played this game again for the first time on my phone after 20 years. Feels like i'm playing for the first time.
Losing memory has it's benefits.
8:15 it should be noted the Earth Mallet cannot drop if the Gigas Armlet is stolen.
Love this game, hate just how many significant items can be easily and permanently missed, makes it hard not to use a guide at times
It sucks but kinda makes for good replayability if you went blind on your first playthrough
This is what i like about old rpgs
Final Fantasy 9 is way worse when it comes to missable items.
@@Judah_Katzenberger tried playing that game but it was just so slow compared to seven!
@@revthescatman137It is. That's one of the game's only complaints.
Over 2 decades ago, I remember wanting a full list of all missable items in FF7 when I was first playing this on PS1.
This video randomly popped up in my feed and I had moment of nostalgia.
It's great to see this game is still so well known that video content is still being made for it!
1:30 I chose to take the ether instead of keeping the battery. This is because the battery is an item that is obtained regardless, it is not a missable item, everyone gets 3 batteries in the game whether they want to or not. On the other hand, not using the third battery to get the ether means that you left something undone in the game. Having that battery in your inventory at the end of the game only shows that you left a "chest" unopened and your game is not complete.
That's my approach to "trading unique items for non-unique items."
I note down in my journal that I traded the A/B/C Coupons for 100% treasure. (Same in FF8 and FF9, with the Girl Next Door item and colored stones).
I agree, keeping it in your inventory is a flag that you didn't pick up a treasure. If someone really does want to keep the Battery, that means they will also have to duplicate ultimate limit break items for a full inventory, which to me goes beyond the scope of a perfect file.
@@Arbron It should be noted that you can get another Girl Next Door from playing Chocobo World.
Great video. I've managed to get atleast 1 of all of these items but I can't believe there are actually people who will try to get 99 of each, gotta have the patience of a saint!
With is this materia called w-item where you can just multiply most items to 99 easily.
@@elwoodrosadocarrasco787 I know. What I meant was without glitches. I've seen people on Twitch attempt to get 99 of everything without using the W-Item glitch
Lol. That 99 of each thing is so out dated. As long as you have 1 rare item of anything was just fine.
Vagyrisk was fun stealing 99 of. I'm working on 99+1 All Creation through the boss glitch.
8:01 theres a Ribbon hidden in the same cave as the Javelin! very important and very very well hidden item, it is on the right side, after that first "bridge" just press right and you go right through the wall to get that well hidden Ribbon !
But it's not missable, friend
@Fernando Romera it is.. you cannot access any of the cliff areas after a certain point
@@Ferelmakina avoiding spoilers just incase
@@notexsoldier It's not missable, because you can get an infinite number of them by morphing the Ho-Chu in the battle square.
@@skrijgsmanho chu is also in the ancient forest too
The lack of acknowledgement for Trine was making me really itchy the whole video until you went back to address it at the end. Accidentally missed it on quite a few playthroughs as a kid.
thanks for that last info about yuffie's father having the trine enemy skill, i always got one of my e-skill materia less 1 star cause i never thought that fight got a chance to get that enemy skill
I have to thank you, there is one thing I didnt know that actually doesn't appear to be in ANY walkthroughs either... stealing that weapon from the basalisks. Thanks dude!
Love the series and love your dedication to the classics. You are a gentleman of class and scholarly Levi
To lose the Fort Condor mini-game, you don't need to pay any unit: you can just cancel and start.
CMD Grand Horn has a Vagyrisk Claw depending on the team's level, not especially the 3 first times.
You can miss Pandora's Box even with ESkill equipped against Dragon Zombie.
He'll TRY only once to cast it. If he failed to cast it because he ran out of MP for example, you'll never see that skill.
You can slip him a turbo ether/elixir/megalixir just before you finish him off.
Or you can petrify him with Break magic or White Wind.
@@steponmemommy9323 These are different things.
* Turbo Ether will wipe all his MP, making him fail Pandora's Box and you miss the skill definitely.
* Elixir and Megalixir will inflict Death on him without wiping or refilling his MP, so all depends on the MP he had left.
* Petrifying him will end the battle without even triggering his final attack, letting Pandora's Box still available for another encounter.
@@ErionAireTam @Erion AireTam You're right, I completely forgot that the elixir/megalixir would instakill an undead monster.
I had no idea that the turbo ether would wipe his MP, though.
The petrification tip is important, however, because if you're keeping track of his MP from the start, you'll know when to opt out of killing him off in favor or petrification.
I thought Pandora's Box can be cast by an enemy in the end crater dungeon? 🤔
@@technomage6736 Only once per save file
You can also get a four slots from the maze in shinra hq where you have to unlock doors and get coupons.
Played through this entire game at least 5 times in my youth. I remember about 5% of the mentions in this video. My childhood is gone 😢
You forgot about the Striking Staff you can steal from Eligors in the Train Graveyard.
You can buy that in Junon later.
I just made it to the final crater with no misables. 99 iron bangles but w-iteming the earth mallets, v claws etc. I’m so happy. Also got trine and pandora’s box on all 4 enemy skills.
I also duped cosmo memory, alex with source, add cut with source, and even shield with source (which wasn’t even in Steve’s guide.) Once I level my characters to 99 with perfect hp leveling… i think I will be done.
This guy fucks
@@danwillburn Na, then you just do the DickTree FF7 challenge lol.
@@dirtyfrench2926 The circlmastr challenge you mean, we don't talk about DickTree, lol.
13:08 - You actually have infinite time to get ready for Diamond Weapon, as once he gets close to Midgar he just stops walking.
I would add Coupon A, B, and C to the list since they are unique key items and the items you exchange them for can be gotten elsewhere later.
1:23 the new threat mod has a pretty elegant solution for this. Using the battery on the third box actually gives you another battery. (to Cloud's annoyance) This allows you to place every battery while still leaving you with one to keep.
Is the third battery used somewhere else later in the game? Or do you just keep it for 100% completion?
@@charlesroseman9466 It has no other use in the game. I guess there must have been some argument somewhere about if a 100% completion playthrough would either use every battery or keep one of the batteries because it is its own unique key item which you can see from your inventory. Strange to think obtaining every treasure and having every item would be mutually exclusive feats.
Well it's not like you can keep all key items like Midgar parts, and digestive, and since the different dress up items are mutually exclusive, 100% key items is just impossible.
@@lostnumbr I imagine such people would just argue for getting the best items from wall market rather than worrying about losing out on the rest.
Using mods is cheating and does not count
The quest to get into Don Corneo's mansion includes missable key items, as not all of them are required to get in. You only require a dress and wig so if you don't get the underwear, make-up, tiara and cologne then you'll miss them permanently.
True. That one is tricky because there are multiple wigs dresses and colognes and you can only have one of each. Most people say having the best of the 3 (which gets Cloud picked) counts as collecting "all of them". But yeah, I didn't want to include key items partially for that reason.
@@laneface don't they disappear from your inventory at one point anyway? I want to say the first time I played through the game -- towards the end I noticed I had drastically fewer key items than before. Maybe my brain is just farting on me.
@@quintusantell2912 nope they're in your key items for the duration, but yeah as mentioned you cannot possibly get all of the wigs and dresses, so only the extra stuff is considered missable.
That is the most...unique...pronunciation of Ramuh I've ever heard. What a great video, though! I still think that Pandora's Box once per save file thing is nuts (in a cool way).
Shut up nerd, who cares how he pronounces it?
There is that weapon that I missed so hard, I never knew it existed before I played the Remake: Aerith's Bladed Staff. I did not even know we could fight against Eligor in the original game. I don't remember encontering it at all through any of my playthrough of FFVII original!
It's a rare enemy, only on the second screen, and at such low levels the steal chance is really low as well. You could be there for an hour, and half of it just trying to steal.
It can be purchased in junon witch gives you an idea of just how strong it is if you can grab one while in midgar
@@lostnumbr You're right about how strong it is considering how early you can get it. All the weapons you can purchase in Junon in disc 1 can be stolen from an enemy. So you can choose not to buy any of them if you steal it instead.
1. Eligor (Train Graveyard): Striking Staff
2. SOLDIER:3rd (Shinra HQ): Hardedge
3. Custom Sweeper (Midgar Area, World Map): Atomic Scissors
4. Madouge (Mythril Mine): Grand Glove
5. Formula (Junon Area, World Map): Boomerang
6. Bagnadrana (Mt. Corel): Diamond Pin
First thing, Bladed Staff isn't really missable because when you clear the game you can redo mission at anytime, hence none item in FF7 remake is actually missable (it's just missable for first playthrough).
Second, Bladed Staff never exist in the original game. In original game it called Striking Staff and as other people already point out, it can obtain from many other places such as purchase from Junon or Gongaga or even steal from Harpy in Golden Saucer. You probably already have it but not recognize by the name.
@@badplayboy295 You may be right. Especially since I still don't know how it's called in French… I will check that. Thank you
Man it’s great to see videos on my favourite final fantasy game in the series, I wonder if there’s gonna be more videos on other final fantasy games.
Ff7 is such an amazing game. So many memorable scenarios items characters and locations. I will hold dear till the day I die!
Love your videos, always learn something new about a game I still love
I remember playing this game back in the late 90s for the first time.. I couldn't beat it, no matter how hard I tried and how indepth I was with tutorials to find everything and beat the final two weapons in the game, Ruby and Emerald. I ended up getting so mad.. I broke all three Discs and never played the game for the longest while.. lol.
Then, fast forward to like 2015 or 2016 and I bought the greatest hits version and eventually, beat it properly. Getting all the materia/mastered versions, beat the last two weapons, and got all the Emeny Skills maxed out.
I used to get gamer rage as a teen. I'd scream at the TV, throw the controller on the floor, but it was never enough to make me want to destroy the game discs. That's ridiculous taking your anger over a videogame that far.
@scorpionwins6378 Yeah, not my greatest moments as a teenager growing up. Things I look back on and realize how certain things just flipped a switch inside me, and I lost it. But I've calmed down a lot since then.
There's a ribbon at gaeas cliff that is missable, but you can just morph an enemy for a bunch of em.
Tonberry in the crater
That Ribbon wasn't in the original guide back in the day. I ended up finding it randomly as a kid and felt like such a champion lol
Nice to get that ribbon early tho
I remember finding this as a kid and later realized it wast even in the guide.
There's also a Ribbon in the ancient temple that's missable, but yes by the end of the game you can just morph tonberries
Thanks for making this I got the urge to play it again bc I never 100 percent jt and this helps a lot thank you
Dunno if they count as missable, but there are 2 items in Gold Saucer late game that can be overlooked. The first is the Ink, which can be won in the submarine game (level 1 I think), and the second one is the Flayer, a weapon for Cid, which can be won in the shooting coaster and getting 5,000 points.
These are just obscure items, not missable ones.
There's also a miss-able ribbon in the crater mountain in the first room before you fight the two-headed dragon. It is on the second story, to the very right of the first ice ledge you walk over in that room. It's misleading because the wall to the right that represents the cave wall is totally black, but if you continue right, Cloud will pass through a hidden passage and inside is a box with a ribbon, making it the second, box-obtained ribbon that appears very shortly after you've progressed passed the first ribbon box from the Temple of Ancients in Disc 1.
While true, the Ribbon itself doesn't really count as missable, as you can farm an infinite number by Morphing Master Tonberries.
Agreed - the Ribbon item itself is obtainable through many means; however, this particular Ribbon is missable insofar as Cloud and Co cannot return to this part of the Northern Crater by conventional means during standard playthroughs.
When I was young and didn't know about Tonberries this second ribbon frustrated me soooo much. First playthrough I found it I didn't think it was important. Second playthrough I was like, where the hell did I get that ribbon.
Ribbon is the difference between 5 perfect runs in the arena versus spending an entire day grinding CP for Omni 🥲...and this sounds just as tragic ♡
Especially when you consider that it's easily missable, is arguably a needed, end-game item, and guides like this and the PRIMA strategy guides all miss it too 💔
@@kuroseki By modern definition, a "missable" item is one you can truly miss. While this *particular* item is missable, technically, it doesn't count, because you can get an infinite number of the actual item itself. Missables are things you CANNOT go back and get.
Word of advice for players considering a "perfect save file." Keeping the Battery means you missed a treasure. It's the same for not using Coupons A, B, and C in the Shinra Building. Also, if you really want a full inventory you will have to use glitches to duplicate Ultimate Limit Break items, which may be going too far for some people. Ultimately it depends on whether you want to collect all treasure or have every spot filled in the inventory.
the music here is great. what track is this?
Awesome video ! what about the elixir or power source in kalm that you can only get when cid is the leader ?
Actually a good video. I'm pretty well versed in FF7 and was surprised how accurate it was.
One other honorable mention that you didn't list though that I'd like to mention is the second Phoenix materia. It is actually possible to get 2 of them that have 0AP by waiting to pick up the one on top of Fort Condor, then you go to Bone Village to dig it up, then you can go back to Fort Condor to pick up the original Phoenix and have 2 with 0AP rather than just 1
The Vagirysk Claw is a freaking nightmare. I had a ruined save file when I was a kid because I missed that particular item. I did get everything and found basically every item by myself, but somehow I still missed it and only learned about it when I saw some sort of items list. I restarted the game all over just to get it. First got it from the Fort Condor but later leanred that you can get it from those enemies at the beaches when your level is low.
12:23 I very specifically remember the "Tough" ring being misspelled as "Touph Ring"...the list of Mandela Effects I have with this game grows again.. it's so strange. Unless you're playing some updated version where all the typos were fixed.
lol! Never noticed that. You're right, it's Touph Ring, at least on PC and PS4.
That one and the Glow Lance was "Grow" Lance
And you bet I called it Touph like "towp"
After 25 years, it's still a bit of a running gag between me and a friend whenever we encounter something "tough" we call it touph.

@@dirtyfrench2926 Her 'ballistics' make up for her Limit Break shortcomings, and DAMN the supposed remake to hell for making them tiny. I never relied on Limit Breaks besides Cloud's overmuch, anyway. If I could get half her Reels to HIT, I'd be happy.
The Behemoth Horn thing is a fun oddity I noticed recently as well. When climbing up during disc 2, the game skips most of the stairs due to some sort of routing bug, and you end up exiting on floor 23. The game even acknowledges you're on floor 23 when you check the elevator. When you re-enter, all the stairs reappear and you end up descending the full 60 floors like normal. Since the set of stairs with Behemoth Horn gets skipped by the bug, it doesn't show up, but will during the descent since they load correctly again. Weirdest bug ever, found it myself when playing a few years ago.
I believe you forgot about Aerith’s Fairy Tale weapon. I don’t recall it being purchasable and the fight you can get it from is only available prior to your second visit to the Gold Saucer. A more amusing missable is the first Chocobo Lure Materia which is only purchasable prior to getting the Highwind (or is it during disc 1, I thought shop inventories changed after getting the Highwind but you said Disc 2)
Fairy Tale can be purchased in Junon after the player gets the Highwind.
id say its more likel;y that the random shitty old guide he used to parot this shit info just didnt mention it. like half the shit he says is outright wrong, and a good number of these items are far from missable, or are only missable in the sense that 1 specific copy of the item is missable.
@@ryan2casey764 whoa spoilers
I appreciate your efforts. Honestly I'm more in the camp of 'simplify your inventory as much as possible'; meaning I sell everything that is no longer my current best option. This did come back to bite me in FF9 for synthesis, but I'm usually fine operating this way.
The Yuffie side quest can be done as soon as you get the tiny bronco on disc 1
In fact the game implies you're supposed to, since it places you right next to the beach.
(Also doing it too late makes it too easy.)
@@Arbron Yuffie actually hints about going west if you have her in your party before the tiny bronco is first obtained after defeating Palmer. But it's probably better to do it after Temple of the Ancients because that's where you obtain a lot of the no slot weapons for your party members.
They really knew how to put lots of secrets and Easter eggs in this game. And shops in final fantasy games like ff7 are cool for buying nice things.
Had no idea Missing Score was a missable item! I was lucky to have Barrett in my party at that time during my blind playthrough
I've always loved the ability to customise menu colours, tried loads of variants I've loved but never tried let alone seen the black to white, that goes so hard.
I'm a Raiders fan so it just feels right lol
There's a ribbon that's in an off screen cave in the gaia cliffs. I'm surprised you didn't include that since there are a limited number of those you can get

@@Patrick_The_Pure Specific ribbons are missable, but ribbons in general are not.
From what I remember, the item in the stairs is an ether when you obtain it at the beginning of the game. If you don't obtain that ether at the beginning when given a chance to take the stairs, it will still be an ether later in the game when raiding Midgar.
actually i just tried it in the beginning the behemoth horn is not there
@@wushuw2010
The behemoth horn is only at the 2nd time you visit the shinra hq
you missed a few.
1. there is a monster in the train graveyard area called Eligor you can steal a striking staff from it. strongest weapon for Aries at that point of the game.
2. there is a monster called soldier 3rd in the shinra building you can steal a weapon from it called Hardedge strongest weapon for Cloud at this point of this game.
3. there is a monster called Moth Slasher in the shinra building you can steal a piece of armour called Carbon Bangle.
4. there is a monster called custom sweeper just outside Midgar you can steal a weapon from it called Atomic Scissors strongest weapon for Barret at this point of the game.
You can miss nail bat in temple of the ancients, since you need the clock hand to knock you off
This is awesome! I never knew about Behemoth's Horn. I'm going to try for that next time I play through.
Yup at least for the raid portion when you go up the stairs it skips screens, but doesn't going down. Which is why nobody sees it going up.
Lol makes me laugh after all these years there's items in this game I didn't even know existed. Does anyone happen to know what those tiny scale Shina soldiers do or where you find them all? Great video
They do nothing. Were they meant to do something? Maybe.
I seem to remember there being a weapon for Yuffie from the Fort Condor fights. Completely missable, and I want to say the window to get it was incredibly small.
That's the Super Ball but you can purchase it from Junon after getting the airship.
Aren't the key items related to cloud crossdressing missable too?
You know your stuff good Job man
That’s the funniest part of the first disc
Most of these I didn't know existed. I've played and finished this game so many times. Most game guides don't even have these
I remember Alexander summon materia being one that’s I easily missed on the first play through. I hated walking through the snow
Definitely missed that the first couple playthroughs when I was a kid
Yup I remember maxing all my summons and wondering why I didn't get a master materia, only to find out I missed Alexander.
Man i can't believe i restarted this game like 37 times and never finished it. First time reaching north crate i couldnt beat Sephiroth. Then after several restarts through the years i finally got a golden chocobo and was able to collect KotR and lost interest. Another time i couldnt beat the Weapons.
And you still manage to trigger my interest restarting my steam playthrough and see how far i got. I remember getting thr golden chocobo made me feel so badass last time.
Check out the 7th heaven modloader and tsunamods for HD mods and their new Echo-S fully voice acted mod, I'm currently streaming it and I've been falling back in love with the game.
It's not a difficult game by any means but a little planning and strategy can make it a lot easier.
246.000 of us clicked on a vid for knowledge we will never use
You are kinda right, Interests and nice videos make us take interest in something we will highly not do.
Odd but true. Just here to chill I guess :)
Idk but I’m finding this guide pretty useful for playing this game. These missables are fucking important and sucks to miss them. I was crushed when I missed Ramuh summon on first playthrough
Playing rebirth got me into playing the og on my phone. If you haven't, I'd recommend it, it aged extremely well.
What a beautiful game. So elegant, so timeless. Even with the decor in buildings and style somehow!!!
Hey man, just wanted to say I'm a huge FF7 enthusiast and have completed this run. I appreciated your delivery of content, the background music, clip editing. It's a good video dude, thanks and well done.
I played FFVII way back when it came out. I was surprised on the second playthrough, after having downloaded a txt strategy guide that almost ⅓ of the game's content was missable/skippable.
Younger me would have loved this guide!
Alas my disca broke and I was stuck on disc 2 FOREVER....
But kid me was able to snag Ifrit and Ramuh so that was good.
Awesome video Laneface. Been loving your final fantasy vii content. I have a video request for your next video.
You should make it a video on the date mechanics in the game I've been having a hard time trying to get points for specific characters to go to the gold saucer with me such as Yuffie and Barret, Always end up with Aerith/Aeris or Tifa.
I bet you could make a great walkthrough on this.
I'll see what I can do. I've never messed with this a lot because I prefer choosing Tifa. But I have video of all the places you get points towards a character.
EDIT* Alright I think I got everything I need. This will be my next video :)
You can find also an ribbon at the Temple of Ancients. By using the clock, i believe you have to get the Clock at 4AM. It leads you to a Chest where the Ribbon is
there is also a nail bat if you fall off of the clock.
The guide I started using about 1/3 way through has helped me with a lot of these. I always used a Game Shark for the PS1 so I had NO idea about Pandora’s Box until I acquired it last night! What a nasty programming choice. Great video, mate!
I think you're always guaranteed to at least see Pandora's Box. And if you're making use of enemy skill materia at all, chances are you'd have it on at least one character.
First time watch....awesome video. Should do one with every learned Enemy Skill.
I love, love, love this video. Recently when ill, I even fell asleep to it lol. Just makes me want to play and replay this game, then jump on RPG Maker VX and make my own game!
for your 2nd or 3rd etc playthrough. On your first playthroughs, miss all you want, they put all this stuff in the game to make it interesting, not to make it a chore.
I missed out on all of Yuffie and Vincent's sidequests because I didn't know about them until Disc 3. The upside was I never used Yuffie or Vincent in battle so it wasn't a huge loss but my OCD was triggered
at 8:06 , you can keep go right, there's a secret path throught the ice wall to get the Ribbon.
If you're playing on a PS1 emulator, you can cheat the Speed Square game by making a save state right at the end of the minigame (basically a memory dump) and using a hex editor then searching for whatever number your score was at. Change it to any number under 9999 and reload the save state.
Also the Shiva materia can be missed if your materia inventory is full when Priscilla gives you the materia. Although to make that you need a shit ton of money to buy that many materia
They may have removed it from re-releases of the game but there's a second ribbon you can get at Gaea's Cliff in a hidden room that has no indicator that it's even there, you just run along a wall on the right side of the screen and it's in a chest in a hidden pocket room.
It's there still
Yes but since ribbons can be obtained infinitely by morphing master tomberry it's not that rare
I remember missing out on Matramagic and had to figure out how to go back and get it. I pretty much 💯 this game though. Was a blast to get every last item you could.
From my perspective having the battery in your inventory is forever proof that you missed a treasure chest :D
I'm saving this video to my favorites and I'll be sure to use it in my next playthrough 😋
Ah yes, good ol Squaresoft. Making you spam X in every corner of every room in case you might have missed that super secret useless item
Amazing,mostly because I feel i'm not the only one that is so psycho and maniacal about this game and getting 99 of everythings and all possible item in the inventory😅thank you
I remember trying to get all missable items and every item to 99 where possible when I was a kid. Didn't take me long to give up at those claws.
One thing to note about Gelnika and the Reno/Rude fight. You must fight them and steal their items before you raid Shinra HQ for the second time during disc 2. They will not be in Gelnika later on in disc 3.
Something I would find out the hard way once upon a time.
Im sorry this channel didn't kick off laneface deserved it. Thanks for great videos dude :)
I have seen in the past someone fall in to the trap of saying Chocomog was missable, Glad to see you did not ^_^
Through a glitch you can obtain two Phoenix materia (without having to master it), which does matter to completionists.
Win the final Fort Condor battle, but don't grab the materia. Progress to disc 3, dig it up in Bone Village, then return to Fort Condor and collect it.
(The game must assume that if you're on disc 3 without Phoenix then you must have lost the battle, so it lets you dig it up. But due to this oversight you can have your cake and eat it too.)
On the note of missable extra unmastered copies of materia, there's also two extra Elemental (one from guessing the password in Shinra HQ, and the other from the piano when you control Tifa on disc 2).
Great video, I'm doing a replay on the switch for the first time in years. I already missed both curse rings....oh well can't remember where everything is.
You can get four slots from the coupon exchange in the shinra hq as well
FF7 is one of the few games I would go online and look for guides to get every Lost Forever.
thought this said miserable items and honestly that still works for the topic
Great video my man. Huge materia are missable too though, right? Thought I read they were. If so, that limits how many master materia you can get in the end game if you can’t cash them in at Cosmo Canyon.
Laneface music always on point 👌 🎻 🎶
So what was the point of the Soldier set that you can pick up In Juno? I haven’t played this game in forever but I remember something with the soldier and something about a set.
Love the black and grey background! Lol
