Played through it when I was 12. 100+ hours. Havent played it since. I am 32 now and bought it for the switch. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your work. Soooooooo helpful
Even though I already knew how the awesome mechanics work in FF7, I still enjoy watching your video's. Its like being in a college course, with you as the professor.
I remember about a year ago I was trying to get Tifa's Level 4. Somehow I managed to play it by ear with no guide. I found it to be pretty fun since I was able to experiment with the sounds. Tis a shame I cannot do that with a real piano!
A side note for Aeris's limit break: The guy who gives you the mythril will give you a bolt ring instead if you run from battle too much. If you go outside and meet the conditions again (matching odd numbers/matching 0's) he'll give you the mythril.
There's one little incorrectness according to Vincent's last Limit. You can get it already, just after receiving the Highwind. Get yourself a golden Chocobo, ride to Lucretias Cave with Vincent in the party. Enter it, talk to her, leave, ride the cocobo over to an other area, fight ca. 10 times, enter again and there you got it. This works even on CD 2, you don't have to wait until CD 3 (at least if you play the PC Version)
Hi from Brazil, just wanted to say that you have a big fan here! thank you for all the vídeos, its always good to see someone playing the best game of all time and making supporting vídeos. 4-8 the best!
I love that background music choice are always good on this channel, super calm and cute nerdy yet fun explanations that just give us all the information we need. And the fun humor we’ve come to enjoy. Modern games have lag and seem to suck compared to old school gaming experiences
I've always said it; FF7 was very advanced when it came to Materia use. I would spend hours alone just to see what the best combination of materia would be for different situations in the game. Some combinations helped while others would actually hurt you.
Watching you is really getting me back into final fantasy 7. I was 19 hours into it and then my computer took a shit and i lost all my progress. I haven't played it since, but once i beet ff4 i'm probably going to start playing again (with cloud saving on this time).
Been playing this game since i was a child and never knew you could crash the train into Barretts home village! I learn something new from all your ff7 vids, keep it up man!
Yuffie's lv 4 limit break is a trap, Doom of the living makes soloing emerald weapon childs play when she's maxed out and has some counter mimes. It's crazy how people still sleep on how strong she is even now.
Wouldn’t really call it a city, it’s a shanty town if anything, plus they probably didn’t get much of a choice given the financial status of a lot of people in the game 😂👍🏻
Your awesome. Bought it first weekend it was out back in the day. Later bought it for PS3 on PSN and decided I cant wait anymore and just bought it again for PS4 on PSN. CANNOT WAIT FOR THE REMAKE!!!
The more of your videos I watch the more I appreciate just how enormous this game is. I've been playing it since I was 8 years old and now I'm 32 and I've still only scratched the surface
LOL! That was a good one. But later on they expanded him a lot with Dirge of Cerberus etc (probably because he was so beloved by the surprisingly huge number of pseudo-goths in the FF fan base lol).
Daniel Escovedo Vincent is just cool he’s kinda like alucard from hellsing an immortal gunslinger who is becomes nightmare-fuel when they get serious that’s it well the poor 3D graphics don’t do Vincent justice but he basically becomes the wolf man then Frankenstein’s monster then leather face and finally satan
Vincent is an awseome character. But the worst thing you can ever do with him is use any of his limit breaks during emerald or ruby weapon because you might as welll just fight with 2 partt members if you could
Sadness doesn't half the damage you're dealt, it reduces it by 30 %. Note that the poison effect doesn't fill the Limit gauge cause the game considers it's an attack from the ally himself. When you mime Tifa's Limit or Cait Sith's 2nd Limit, they use the same slots, but not especially the same summon or toys. The Tifa's Limits are always critical when you hit a Yeah and are never critical else. In the Limits data file, each ally has 4 levels of *3* attacks, but they finally left blank 5 or those 12 slots. You can visit the Lucrecia's cave with a Green / Black / Golden Chocobo, not only the submarine. Lucrecia gives to Vincent the stuff as soon as - Cloud apologized in the Highwind operation room (ok it's almost like saying CD3 if you already did the quests) - you have Vincent triggering his flashback with Lucrecia - you fought a random number of battles, between 1 and 11, since the first time you came in the cave. Even if Vicent wasn't here. - you come again with Vincent in the party The 3 first conditions are required, but in any order.
Thanks for this video! I'm planning on replaying this game before the remake comes out. This, and other videos on your channel, will help me on that quest. But I don't have much time left, so i'll probably have to skip a lot of extras. It'll be like my own personal speedrun. Well, considering it took me like 77 hours to beat it the very first time I played it, I think it's doable.
The depth of 7 still to this day just amazes me. To this day I don’t think SO much thought love and effort has been put into a single game. Ever. Maybe 14 but even so. 7 reigns king 👑

11:43 Final Heaven: when I play the piano after the subconscious scene with Tifa I just get 1 Gil. No conversation or limit break. This was the first time I visited and plays the piano exiting/reentering doesn’t reset it. Is this limit break missable?
@@alster724 he literally says "And we are talking about killing them NORMALLY, NOT KILLING THEM WITH A LIMIT BREAK"? So I don't understand why you think what he's saying means something different than what he is stating.

Just an aside. So the reason why Young Cloud and Sephiroth get Vincent's and Cait Sith's Limits when you hack these characters in is because _something_ has to be put in the Limit menu, and it uses the Limit data set aside for those slots. The game only has eight character slots to work with. You don't get to recruit the actual characters before the Kalm Flashback scene (Cait Sith is mandatory, but still much much later). The game knows this, and uses the those character slots (Yuffie and Cait Sith) to store data independently for Young Cloud and Sephiroth - they have to function and grow and take damage and die on occasion, which requires character slots to retain that information. ("Slot 1 received 1500 damage from [Dragon]. Slot 1 has 0HP. Slot 1 is dead now." etc). It doesn't declare this information by character, but by the slot the character occupies in the program (this is different to the Party Formation slots, also). And why declare two MORE slots for bit characters that you'll only use for 45 minutes and never again? Sephiroth and Young Cloud are basically a reskinned trite predictable edgelord, and a weak and unappealing phony. .......or an actual trite predictable edgelord and weak and unappealing phony (your milage may vary). Those stats are recalculated when you recruit the actual slot owners anyway, and the Flashback character data is obliterated by the recruited character data. This prevents a sort of statistical Missingno. Glitch, else you'd probably end up getting Vincent with Seph stats (which would be pretty rad considering how strong he could possibly be when you get him), depending on who the actual owner of those slots are. I'm actually playing this game modded with the 7th Heaven launcher. One of the mods is to exploit this functionality by giving Jessie as a recruitable member for the Bombing Mission. Basically a reskinned Tifa, also knows Beat Rush, and the mod surrenders Slot 3 (Tifa's, but empty until Cloud and Barret embark on their second mission) after the Bombing Mission so Tifa can occupy it.
About the Limit Break mime thing... I don't know if it's already mentioned somewhere or not, but if all your active party keep using command mime after someone use Limit break, the character who unleash the limit will be able to use its own limit break again. For example if Cloud use Braver, then char 2 use Mime (it will fail with notification like in the video), char 3 use mime (still fail), until Cloud use Mime too. Cloud will use Limit Braver. Might be fun for some Limit like Cait SIth's which have many random results.
I felt smart figuring this out in 1997 haha...obviously not with all the variables, but the general concept of using Limits as much as possible to get the next one. I used to grind like crazy every time to having Finishing Touch by Shrina Tower, and whatever Barrett's 6th limit is as well.
All Creation is the game's strongest attack, with a 16x multiplier. But Yuffie isn't strong enough to get underflows with it, so it's pretty useless due to only attacking once.
Not sure if it is a PS4 thing but Vincent's limit break Chaos can be learned in disk 2. When you find her cave in disk 2 you don't need to wait until disk 3. Just do the 10 to 15 battles and you can then go back in and get his level 4 limit.
The best place that i found to unlock the limit breaks was in forest areas on the first island, you get groups of these tree type monsters that come in groups of 5, if you have (fire 2)paired up with (ALL) materia they will all die with one cast, by the time i got to junon fir the first time everyone had their lv3 limits unlocked
Wait...so if Barrets level three limit break and Cids level four limit break hits more than Clouds, if maxed damage each hit won't that make that the most powerful combination in the game? (1439856)
It's because of the critical hits that make cloud's stronger unless you raise their luck stats naturally cloud's will be stronger just because of the critical hits factor
Omnislash will always critical hit, so hitting 9,999 fifteen times is easier without max stats. When Barret and Cid have max stats, their limit breaks hit eighteen times for 9,999 each.
But Vincent's fully powered normal attack with the Death Penalty will oneshot anything other than Ruby WEAPON. Cait Sith's Slots can go one better, but are insanely unreliable.
Awesome video, good info, I learned all this stuff from the Versus Guide. If you're OG you know what I'm talking about. Also, I think it's pronounced climb (as in climbing up a cliff) hazard. Not klimb. But that's just me.
Wow, I didn't know about that man selling GP in Gold Saucer! That's so helpful. I also didn't know you could mime Limit Breaks Actually I also didn't know it was possible to never even reach the village with the train.
Fun fact: You can still level up your limit with limit kills. So if you got 110 regular kills and 10 Braver/Cross Slash kills, you'll still unlock Blade Beam
It was all there but I hope people put 2 and 2 together. You mentioned in the beginning that it takes a number of times to unlock a limit break. If you hardly play a character and want to get there limit breaks, then use the counter mime, or just mime the limit break and it adds the number of times the limit break was used so you can get your limit breaks pretty fast this way. Just kill off the other party members to make this go easier, or do the arena battles. The limit break carries over to the next battles. counter mime for the win!.
The easiest way to get Cloud's is to get revenge for Aeris. But you'll still feel empty inside. Every time you see a flower your heart screams. So you wander into Smash Brothers and kill everything that's beautiful (Rosalina and Beyonetta ... and Marth)
On the current PS4, XB1, & Switch versions you have the options of 3X speed and Instant Limit Break bar filled up +Max Health. By having these boosters on, you can for fun quickly max out Cloud's and Barrett's Level 3 limit breaks, even before fighting the first Scorpion boss. 😅
These are some awesome videos bro. Thanks for all the details. I know I’m years late to the party but I do have a question. In which system are you playing this? The gameplay footage looks so much better than I remember. Lol is this the PS3 download version?
4-8Productions Thanks for responding man. I didn’t think you would. And dang that’s too bad for me. I only have the Sony consoles. Do you know if it looks this nice on the PS4 version?
Surprised people didn't know about leveling limits earlier. There were guides on it. Use LB 8 times. Then defeat 80 enemies for the next. Special items needed for final. I think Vincents was different though.
I just wish that the "hit every enemy for massive damage" limit breaks weren't so outclassed by the "multi-hit" limit breaks by end game. It just makes certain characters much weaker relative to others, I like Red XIII's concept and stats for instance but his level 4 limit is just not competitive with the others', and unlike Yuffie, neither are his lower level multi hit ones. I like Vincent, I like his character concept, I like that all of weapons are long range, I like that stat wise he most resembles Aeris, but again his limit breaks are garbage by end game, and the fucked up thing is that they could've made them decent by giving you control of his transformations, allowing you to choose freely between them before transforming (choose the right tool for the job), giving you more decent multi hit attacks, and maybe even some healing. He's a character I wanted to use on my most recent playthough as a replacement for Aeris, who I had never really used before and for whom I went out and got Great Gospel for the first time, but it's just not worth it. This lack of thought about viability on the part of the devs essentially forces you to pick Barret, Cid, or Tifa, or use Yuffie's Doom of the Living (but who wants to use her) if you want decent limit breaks and it really sucks, because other than Cait Sith and Yuffie, I like all of the characters.
Great game choice to master! I agree probably the best game overall. Most will say the story which I agree, however from the materia to the farming to the gearing it's just a masterpiece 👍 Ashame people are upset with ff7 remake. Anyone who thought it would be like this was naive from the start lol. I thought it was obvious seeing as they are completely different styles of game but anyways! Thanks for all this content bud 👍
I've waited a long time for another one of these vids! I don't think anybody is making FF videos as good as this guy at the moment, thx for finally setting up a Twitch channel, been waiting a long time for that too haha! Keep it up man, you deserve way more recognition.
Ozma is totally a luck based fight. You can totally fight Ozma at level 80 and die within a couple of turns or you can fight Ozma at lv 50 and kill him within 12 turns. Your best option to defeat Ozma is to use freyja trance ability jump and make sure she's levelled up with her ultimate weapon. There's a UA-cam video showing how to kill Ozma only with her on the team with one turn alone
i once farmed Clouds Meteor Rain right at the beginning of the game (in the reactor) , took a while but pretty funny having that OP attack so early, he was lvl 20 something at that point.
@4-8Productions: If I may add, I'd like to add the best location to unlock Level 2 and 3 limit breaks. Your best bet is to go to the Junon area in the forest or in one of the two side rooms located near the exits of the Mythrill Mines. It's easy to rack up the required amount of kills needed to unlock Levels 2 and 3. As for unlocking the second limit breaks on each level, go to Mt. Nibel and engage a Dragon. Set Aeris to her level 2 limit break and have her use Fury Brand to fill up the party's limit gauage, or set your party members to 'Fury' status. But I think once Aeris gets Fury Brand, you don't really need the 'Fury' status ever again. Yes, I actually get the characters to Level 3 before Disc 2. It's time consuming, but effective in my opinion. Please... let me know what you think. Try it out and see if you believe it to be an effective strategy. :) I eagerly await your opinion.
Front row and 'Fury', everyone. *Cover* materia on Aeris (so she's building up her bar fastest). Use limit breaks before casting *Fury Brand* with her, so none go to waste. Even with *Fury brand*, 'Fury' status can still help speed things up further. Take advantage of certain enemies who specifically target the character with the least health, to direct your limit-learning. (Hojo's lab, pre-blood smears, is a good place) Handicapping your characters through their weapon and armour choice can help with building the bar up at level 3. For number of kills, focus on one character at a time, and have them kill every enemy. Equip an *All*-*Magic* materia combination for groups. If you do this, load them down with magic materia to increase the power of spells (the efficacy of which gets diluted when cast on a group vs a single enemy). Alternatively, if you're high in strength and dexterity and opt for physical attacks, rotate materia through your characters, so the one doing the killing has no materia weakening them physically. Also, visit the chocobo farm before Kalm. With all this killing and levelling-up of limit breaks, it makes sense to have it contribute to *Chocomog* and *Chocobo Lure* In my current play-through, I'm on the mythril mine side of the swamp and Chocomog already has three stars. Yuffie is not yet in my team, but Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Aeris and Red XIII have all but their level 4 limit breaks.

What's really cool which you can do on Spreadsheets is to use the equation but rearrange it so you are solving for 'Damage Taken'. If you set 'max HP' as 100% then the only numbers you need is "Status" and "limit constant".

So the reason why Young Cloud and Sephiroth get Vincent's and Cait Sith's Limits when you hack these characters in is because _something_ has to be put in the Limit menu, and it uses the Limit data set aside for those slots.
The game only has eight character slots to work with. You don't get to recruit the actual characters before the Kalm Flashback scene (Cait Sith is mandatory, but still much much later). The game knows this, and uses the those character slots (Yuffie and Cait Sith) to store data independently for Young Cloud and Sephiroth - they have to function and grow and take damage and die on occasion, which requires character slots to retain that information. ("Slot 1 received 1500 damage from [Dragon]. Slot 1 has 0HP. Slot 1 is dead now." etc). It doesn't declare this information by character, but by the slot the character occupies in the program (this is different to the Party Formation slots, also).
And why declare two MORE slots for bit characters that you'll only use for 45 minutes and never again? Sephiroth and Young Cloud are basically a reskinned trite predictable edgelord, and a weak and unappealing phony. .......or an actual trite predictable edgelord and weak and unappealing phony (your milage may vary).
Those stats are recalculated when you recruit the actual slot owners anyway, and the Flashback character data is obliterated by the recruited character data. This prevents a sort of statistical Missingno. Glitch, else you'd probably end up getting Vincent with Seph stats (which would be pretty rad considering how strong he could possibly be when you get him), depending on who the actual owner of those slots are.
I'm actually playing this game modded with the 7th Heaven launcher. One of the mods is to exploit this functionality by giving Jessie as a recruitable member for the Bombing Mission. Basically a reskinned Tifa, also knows Beat Rush, and the mod surrenders Slot 3 (Tifa's, but empty until Cloud and Barret embark on their second mission) after the Bombing Mission so Tifa can occupy it.
This guy... He makes me chuckle.
About the Limit Break mime thing... I don't know if it's already mentioned somewhere or not, but if all your active party keep using command mime after someone use Limit break, the character who unleash the limit will be able to use its own limit break again. For example if Cloud use Braver, then char 2 use Mime (it will fail with notification like in the video), char 3 use mime (still fail), until Cloud use Mime too. Cloud will use Limit Braver. Might be fun for some Limit like Cait SIth's which have many random results.
I felt smart figuring this out in 1997 haha...obviously not with all the variables, but the general concept of using Limits as much as possible to get the next one. I used to grind like crazy every time to having Finishing Touch by Shrina Tower, and whatever Barrett's 6th limit is as well.
4-8 productions really deserve to make money off UA-cam..
i think they can monetize again
They deserve too.
Not with playing the soundtrack from the game. I got a strike for my gameplay cause it had Aeris theme
@@deuceb0i that sucks
I can't wait for that live-stream
Nice 8 mat-omnislash-combo. Subscribed.
As a massive FFVII, I love this channel!
I can't think this much while Costa del Sol's theme is played in the background...I'm just du-du-du-duuu through the whole thing.
you will forever be the go too! still looking back years later when ff7 remake was not interesting and went back to original ^_^
I like Doom of the Living more than All Creation. Particularly with the conformer
All Creation is the game's strongest attack, with a 16x multiplier.
But Yuffie isn't strong enough to get underflows with it, so it's pretty useless due to only attacking once.
Thanks you help me alot.
You are the FF 7 genius.
Thank you so much you saved my life
Your channel made me want to play through ff7 again I just got it for the ps4 I really didn’t know this game was this weird playing it as a kid.
Not sure if it is a PS4 thing but Vincent's limit break Chaos can be learned in disk 2. When you find her cave in disk 2 you don't need to wait until disk 3. Just do the 10 to 15 battles and you can then go back in and get his level 4 limit.
after watching this i went and downloaded ff7 on my ps4. best decision I've made. love this game!!!
The best place that i found to unlock the limit breaks was in forest areas on the first island, you get groups of these tree type monsters that come in groups of 5, if you have (fire 2)paired up with (ALL) materia they will all die with one cast, by the time i got to junon fir the first time everyone had their lv3 limits unlocked
Cosmo Memory, Key to Basement and Odin Materia
thank you very much for posting this
Thanks you save hours in my life by trying to figure the shit out
Wait...so if Barrets level three limit break and Cids level four limit break hits more than Clouds, if maxed damage each hit won't that make that the most powerful combination in the game? (1439856)
Using the mime counter trick*
It's because of the critical hits that make cloud's stronger unless you raise their luck stats naturally cloud's will be stronger just because of the critical hits factor
Omnislash will always critical hit, so hitting 9,999 fifteen times is easier without max stats. When Barret and Cid have max stats, their limit breaks hit eighteen times for 9,999 each.
But Vincent's fully powered normal attack with the Death Penalty will oneshot anything other than Ruby WEAPON.
Cait Sith's Slots can go one better, but are insanely unreliable.
Awesome video, good info, I learned all this stuff from the Versus Guide. If you're OG you know what I'm talking about. Also, I think it's pronounced climb (as in climbing up a cliff) hazard. Not klimb. But that's just me.
Wow, I didn't know about that man selling GP in Gold Saucer! That's so helpful. I also didn't know you could mime Limit Breaks
Actually I also didn't know it was possible to never even reach the village with the train.
Fun fact: You can still level up your limit with limit kills. So if you got 110 regular kills and 10 Braver/Cross Slash kills, you'll still unlock Blade Beam
It was all there but I hope people put 2 and 2 together. You mentioned in the beginning that it takes a number of times to unlock a limit break. If you hardly play a character and want to get there limit breaks, then use the counter mime, or just mime the limit break and it adds the number of times the limit break was used so you can get your limit breaks pretty fast this way. Just kill off the other party members to make this go easier, or do the arena battles. The limit break carries over to the next battles. counter mime for the win!.
How did I ever beat FFIV without youtube and this channel?
i like the sound affect of limit breaks
11:50
Does anybody know the Switch controls for this?
I don’t own a PS4, but I think it would be B, Y, X, L+X, L+Y, B, Y, X, L+B, A, B,Y, B?
The easiest way to get Cloud's is to get revenge for Aeris. But you'll still feel empty inside. Every time you see a flower your heart screams. So you wander into Smash Brothers and kill everything that's beautiful (Rosalina and Beyonetta ... and Marth)
On the current PS4, XB1, & Switch versions you have the options of 3X speed and Instant Limit Break bar filled up +Max Health.
By having these boosters on, you can for fun quickly max out Cloud's and Barrett's Level 3 limit breaks, even before fighting the first Scorpion boss. 😅
These are some awesome videos bro. Thanks for all the details. I know I’m years late to the party but I do have a question. In which system are you playing this? The gameplay footage looks so much better than I remember. Lol is this the PS3 download version?
This is the Steam Version, which was retouched. I highly recommend this version of the game, and it's pretty cheap.
4-8Productions Thanks for responding man. I didn’t think you would. And dang that’s too bad for me. I only have the Sony consoles. Do you know if it looks this nice on the PS4 version?
Surprised people didn't know about leveling limits earlier. There were guides on it. Use LB 8 times. Then defeat 80 enemies for the next. Special items needed for final. I think Vincents was different though.
I just wish that the "hit every enemy for massive damage" limit breaks weren't so outclassed by the "multi-hit" limit breaks by end game. It just makes certain characters much weaker relative to others, I like Red XIII's concept and stats for instance but his level 4 limit is just not competitive with the others', and unlike Yuffie, neither are his lower level multi hit ones.
I like Vincent, I like his character concept, I like that all of weapons are long range, I like that stat wise he most resembles Aeris, but again his limit breaks are garbage by end game, and the fucked up thing is that they could've made them decent by giving you control of his transformations, allowing you to choose freely between them before transforming (choose the right tool for the job), giving you more decent multi hit attacks, and maybe even some healing. He's a character I wanted to use on my most recent playthough as a replacement for Aeris, who I had never really used before and for whom I went out and got Great Gospel for the first time, but it's just not worth it.
This lack of thought about viability on the part of the devs essentially forces you to pick Barret, Cid, or Tifa, or use Yuffie's Doom of the Living (but who wants to use her) if you want decent limit breaks and it really sucks, because other than Cait Sith and Yuffie, I like all of the characters.
2:09 So 7 characters have 7 limits
you are awesome!!! thank you for your videos
*during final heaven* YOLO!
In ffrk Seph's limit breaks are from dissidia (Hell's gate, Shadow Flare, Black Materia)
Great game choice to master! I agree probably the best game overall. Most will say the story which I agree, however from the materia to the farming to the gearing it's just a masterpiece 👍
Ashame people are upset with ff7 remake. Anyone who thought it would be like this was naive from the start lol. I thought it was obvious seeing as they are completely different styles of game but anyways!
Thanks for all this content bud 👍
Love ur channel. Do you have a video showing where to find all the obscure materia like exp plus, or enemy away?
ua-cam.com/video/NW7W2bCbpz0/v-deo.html
I've waited a long time for another one of these vids! I don't think anybody is making FF videos as good as this guy at the moment, thx for finally setting up a Twitch channel, been waiting a long time for that too haha! Keep it up man, you deserve way more recognition.
I know it's not ff7 but could you do a guide on Ozma, from ff9?
Ozma is totally a luck based fight.
You can totally fight Ozma at level 80 and die within a couple of turns or you can fight Ozma at lv 50 and kill him within 12 turns.
Your best option to defeat Ozma is to use freyja trance ability jump and make sure she's levelled up with her ultimate weapon.
There's a UA-cam video showing how to kill Ozma only with her on the team with one turn alone
14:27 that face perfectly embodies modern Call of Duty
You are a genius sir! 🏆
i once farmed Clouds Meteor Rain right at the beginning of the game (in the reactor) , took a while but pretty funny having that OP attack so early, he was lvl 20 something at that point.
@4-8Productions: If I may add, I'd like to add the best location to unlock Level 2 and 3 limit breaks. Your best bet is to go to the Junon area in the forest or in one of the two side rooms located near the exits of the Mythrill Mines. It's easy to rack up the required amount of kills needed to unlock Levels 2 and 3. As for unlocking the second limit breaks on each level, go to Mt. Nibel and engage a Dragon. Set Aeris to her level 2 limit break and have her use Fury Brand to fill up the party's limit gauage, or set your party members to 'Fury' status. But I think once Aeris gets Fury Brand, you don't really need the 'Fury' status ever again. Yes, I actually get the characters to Level 3 before Disc 2. It's time consuming, but effective in my opinion. Please... let me know what you think. Try it out and see if you believe it to be an effective strategy. :) I eagerly await your opinion.
Front row and 'Fury', everyone. *Cover* materia on Aeris (so she's building up her bar fastest). Use limit breaks before casting *Fury Brand* with her, so none go to waste. Even with *Fury brand*, 'Fury' status can still help speed things up further. Take advantage of certain enemies who specifically target the character with the least health, to direct your limit-learning. (Hojo's lab, pre-blood smears, is a good place)
Handicapping your characters through their weapon and armour choice can help with building the bar up at level 3.
For number of kills, focus on one character at a time, and have them kill every enemy. Equip an *All*-*Magic* materia combination for groups. If you do this, load them down with magic materia to increase the power of spells (the efficacy of which gets diluted when cast on a group vs a single enemy).
Alternatively, if you're high in strength and dexterity and opt for physical attacks, rotate materia through your characters, so the one doing the killing has no materia weakening them physically.
Also, visit the chocobo farm before Kalm. With all this killing and levelling-up of limit breaks, it makes sense to have it contribute to *Chocomog* and *Chocobo Lure*
In my current play-through, I'm on the mythril mine side of the swamp and Chocomog already has three stars. Yuffie is not yet in my team, but Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Aeris and Red XIII have all but their level 4 limit breaks.
What are some of the best places to grind for exp. And fun fact wasn't choas the final boss in ff?
My friend in high school thought 'catastrophe' was pronounced 'katastroaf'. I enjoyed goading him.
Love your vids… and voice. Jeah…. super Infos!
