I have played this game.. countless times. I accidentally discovered the umbrella and flayer on playthroughs before and had a friend tell me many, many years ago about the rising sun. But never, ever, have I heard about or seen the behemoth horn. It's amazing that 20+yrs later this game still has something to show me. This is also the first comment I've ever left on a video because I'm legitimately blown away. Thank you for sharing this.
This is crazy, man. I've been an obsessed fan of this game for so long, combing through everything on line, all the Wikias and the FF7Citadel, all that, and this is the first I've ever heard of the Behemoth Horn. Wow.
I'll say, urvisionisaugmented. I actually got Umbrella and that second weapon shown in the video on my first few playthroughs of FFVII. I didn't think anything of it when I got them because I didn't know what to do with them at the time. I also had no idea that they were presumably so difficult to get too. I was just bored in-game and decided to go get good with the FPS-on-rails mini-game.
I wonder how many more items that weren't in the guide might be undiscovered. I remember discovering how to get an item that wasn't in the guide and it was in the inn room where Cloud tells everyone the story of Sephroth. If you tried getring it, Cloud would just say 'It's too high I can't reach it' and that'd be the end of it. But if you tried a bunch of times in a row you would get a very funny easter egg scene in which Cloud would get pissed and say '£%#/@@ it!' And kick the shelf and the item would fall om his head with the caption 'Uhhh ... recieved megalixir' lol it was little scenes like that, that made FF7 the greatest game in my childhood, bar none.
djmankiewicz1000 I was 7 but still I had the game on release, my mother must have hated me as I never stopped yapping about it, now that I can play it on my Xbox, yeah I’ll be looking for this thing.
I bought the ps1 just for this game. Did not know about some of the weapons. I knew about the umbrella but could never get the points required for it. I play this game on the ps4 or iPad now, so it’s easy to get the points needed.
Me: What a strange video to make 20 years after a game's released. I've played FF7 a dozen times - I know all of the ins-and-outs. Also Me: OMG I didn't know about this!
Only knew about the Behemoth Horn because I wanted to see what would happen if I took the stairs when I came back there. Funny though, I don't remember it being found when you only go down though. Also, completely agree w/you on Barret's Missing Score comment. Should've easily been Vincent's weapon instead.
6:19 I always put Barrett and Vincent in my team to fight Hojo anyway, because of Vincent's history with Hojo, as well as Barrett's satisfaction seeing the very last of Shinra destroyed, with him involved. It just always seemed right. But otherwise, I think they never should have made the chest with Missing Score appear only if Barrett is in the team. It makes no sense, did someone with binoculars watch Cloud approach with Barrett in his team and say 'hey, I better put this here because Barrett's coming'? Just put it there regardless of who's in the team. Most other characters can have their Ultimate Weapon picked up without it's owner being present, so it makes no sense here.
Yeah it was a dick move that the programmers did that Imagine playing it the first time and never had Barret in your party your basically missed his ultimate weapon I was extremely lucky the first time playing ff7 back in 99 because I switched out Cid for Barret and got his ultimate weapon and I had no idea
It truly is one of the greatest games ever created. I think i was around 9 or 10 years old when I played FF7, and then FF8, and I was blown away by them. The graphics, especially cut scenes, we're so amazing.
A note about the Behemoth Horn: My understanding is that getting the Behemoth Horn doesn't rely on which direction you go- rather, you can only get the Behemoth Horn if you picked up the Elixir that was in the same spot on your first time through the Shinra building. So in Disc 1, when you first reach the Shinra building, you have to go up the stairs, and find the Elixir that's about halfway up. Then, aaaaaalllll the way at the end of Disc 2, you go up (or down) the stairs again and the Behemoth Horn will be there. That's how I've gotten it on all of my playthroughs.
Inter-Party Conflict the horn is not picked up at the same spot as the elixer, maybe 4 flights down from the top, but not the exact location, I just loaded up a couole saves and checked it out.
I believe if you take the stairs the first time, it skips flights on the way up the second time, so you gotta go back down which doesn't skip flights. It may even depend on how you agreed to enter when you were given the choice at the beginning of the first raid.
You don't need to get the elixir. I always take the elevator up to the 59th floor then run down during the raid. You'll pick up both the elixir and b. horn. You don't have to run up the stairs, just down. You can do that on the original ps1 version. Idk about the digital copies of it
Striking Staff belongs in the honorable mentions. Stolen from a rare encounter in the train graveyard right after leaving Wall Market through Don Corneo's sewer passage. It's a great early game staff with a sick graphic.
I have to say I've played this game for years and half of these weapons I didn't know about, I had studied that strategy guide inside and out too. Definitely worth a sub and a like man keep up the quality work.
I almost always had barret in my party so I didn't know missing score was so hard to get xD Barret has really hard hitting limit breaks, which is why i kept him around.
Red I I hear ya man. I had gotten a guide book back then published by VERSUS BOOKS called FF ultimate guide ( the only reason I got everything back then) the official guide was horrible!
I can't remember if I said this before or not, but I agree with your idea on it being Vincent's ultimate weapon being before the fight with Hojo, for the reasons you said. Not to mention the fact that his ultimate Limit Break is found in the same place as the weapon, so it's not like much would change if they moved the latter.
The Versus Strategy Guide by Casey Loe lists both the Flayer and Behemoth Horn, I highly recommend it, there are many advanced strats and secrets in a spoiler free format. The guide is so good, it deserves its own tribute video
The Rising Sun is discussed once in the official strategy guide by BradyGames. Very briefly during the strategy section for the Diamond Weapon fight, it is offhandedly mentioned that if you can steal the weapon from him. If I recall it is not however listed in the master list of items in the back of the book.
@@Pwnicus187 It was but it had a couple of notable things that were left out. Two big ones were the Ribbon in the great glacier caves that wasn't on the map included of the area, and the Added Cut materia from the zone immediately after the snowboarding. Another one I recall the guide forgetting was the ability to get the Cursed Ring from the first time you visit Mideel from the shopkeeper while in control of Tifa (It's only listed as a steal from Ultima Weapon)
@@OscarSumMusic I know it's a late response but that's the guide I have and when I initially got it I purchased it for about £14 or £15 but I had to eventually get a replacement because after getting it back from lending it to my cousins the pages were starting to fall out. I did Sellotape them somewhat so that they weren't loose but obviously the pages were no longer in their correct position. I did eventually get a replacement from Amazon but I had to pay a whopping £50 for it probably due to its apparent scarcity I'd imagine.
Honestly death penalty is probably the most missable like who'd think to go in to a cave with a waterfall that isn't apparent you can enter and then fight ten fights with Vincent come back to get the weapon but I came back after watching number one yea behemoth horn and death penalty is probably the most missable one's I agree
Great video it's always nice to see people still talking about this amazing game. I'm going to have to reload my saves to see if I ever got the Behemoth horn!
There was an ice sword on the disc 1 before aerith died, when you visit that snowy village, u need to play that ski game and then u will need to roam on the map with snow until u enter the ice bridge scene, the sword is at the bottom of the ice bridge. I found it in japanese version when FF7 just came out at that moment. Please confirmed this because that ice sword had the same damage and same materia slot like ultima weapon. I remember hitting 9999 when i was using that sword on disc 1. Thanks. Btw this is cloud's sword
Bro this is some great content. Brings back soo many memories of my youth spending countless hours on PS1. I actually just downloaded FF7 remake for PS4 today for free
Good video, I knew all of them besides Behemoth Horn and the Gold Saucer weapons, but then again, I have easily sunk well over 1,000 hours into Final Fantasy VII, mostly by maxing out every character's stats by morphing Unknowns in the Gelinka and making sure everyone had a copy of all of the Master Materia.
It's rare for me to learn anything new about this amazing game, but this vid pulled it off! Thanks for the awesome content, and informing me about the Behemoth Horn.
before the internet I would read the official and unofficial guides we had lying around,I think rising sun was mentioned in the unofficial one (it had a red cover - I still have it but forget the publisher), but wow I had no idea about some of these.
Though you can buy it later, I believe the first double growth weapon in the game is available on Mt. Nibel, a Rune Blade for Cloud. I remember being particularly proud of my discovery of it as a babby since it wasn't in the official strategy guide or GameFAQs.
Actually the first double growth weapon in the game is the Peacemaker gun for Vincent you find in Kalm just after you leave midgar. Though he does not join your party until you choose to pick him up in the Shinra Mansion. The first USABLE instance of a double growth weapon is the Magic comb for Red XIII which you get from winning the very first available fort condor minigame battle. The first double growth weapon for Cloud can be acquired during Rufus' sendoff demonstration by scoring enough points of approval. All three of these options are earlier than the Runeblade on Mt. Nibel, however kudo's for finding it without a guide. The two items on that screen are a pain to grab!
wow awesome channel yo! Dang i never knew about the behemoth horn at all lol. I never knew that weapon existed until this video. makes me want to play again and get everything again.
I figured it was because of its power boost criteria. It gets stronger the more AP is installed on it, so without any materia that power score is zero, or missing.
I played this game when game when it came out in 97 and still play it every now and then but I never knew about some of these weapons ..I'll be more than happy to play it again just to find them...FF7 is the best 👍
Dude, I've completed Final Fantasy 7 at least 20 times since I first played it back in 1997... I considered myself to have 100% completed it. I got a gold chocobo, explored everywhere (or so I thought), defeated all the weapons, got every summon, mastered every materia, beat every game at the Golden Saucer... I still didn't even know half of the shit on this list existed. I'm stunned.
Nice video, Not many people end up finding the parasol/flayer and behemoth horn items. I'd consider the Magic comb and the super ball for this list instead of the ancient forest weapons. Both are acquired at Fort Condor quite early in the game. The magic comb as your first reward for winning. And the super ball is obtained for winning your 7th battle (earliest time to obtain if you do every battle possible is after talking to Shera once in rocket town, but before advancing the story by talking to her a second time.) Also while not a weapon the Vagyrisk claw item is only obtainable from the weakest version of CMD grand horn at Fort Condor. Which has it's own wonderfully complicated way of being spawned and fought.
Addendum to the Behemoth Horn: In addition to what you said in the video, another requirement is that you MUST climb the stairs during your initial visit to the Shinra Building on Disc 1. Agree with Tifa at the building entrance, then head up the stairs. At the halfway point, you'll find an elixir. You MUST pick up the elixir, or the Behemoth Horn will not spawn during the Midgar Raid far, far later in the game. Yeah, I know. It makes zero sense.
I did not think there was anything more I could possibly learn about this game. The Behemoth Horn has me completely dumbfounded! Going to start a new game up right meow! Thanks!
They should make a remastered version of final fantasy seven and don’t change anything except the graphics something similar to what Capcom did with resident evil two
The versus guide is so much better.. it has alot more than the official square guide from Brady. It has crazy materia combos too. That guide is expensive though. A good condition costs 90+ and a rough condition will cost you 50 even now. It's all online now thankfully. But back then it wasn't.
As time goes on I still find out some more hidden stuff that have never been seen or mentioned in this game/series. Good job. First I was gonna say "Why not just do a top most rarest final fantasy weapons instead" but that would be too easy these days to most FF fans.
Although i disagree on the list, i completely agree about Barret's Ultimate weapon being dumb, and it being a better idea for Vincent's ultimate weapon being there, since he has some background history with Hojo, as it's just befoire that fight. Too bad Vincent has absolutely nothing interesting to say, when you fight Hojo with Vincent in the party...
That's not true at all: For most of the game, since Vincent is an optional character, his dialogue is ".....", "...?", and/or "...!" But if you bring him to that SPECIFIC fight, he has special dialogue. First he'll do a "...." to fake you out, I think, but then he says something to the effect of this: "All this time. All this time, I thought I was the monster... "But the real monster... "The real monster was YOU!" For Vincent, this is a LOT of dialogue and character development, and only in this one fight, and ONLY if Vincent is in your party (no one else has dialogue with that much impact, imo, in the Hojo battle). I just remember when I did that fight, I had Vincent in my party because it seemed like proper poetic irony for him to help take Hojo down, and then he spoke more lines than he had in the entire game before that point, lol
I recently started a playthrough of this classic and may have stumbled onto something. After you do the Don Corneo quest and he sends you down into the sewers, you can eventually go back inside Corneos mansion to where Tifa and Aerith were being held captive. There is a man tied down on what looks like a torture rack, and you help to free him. Maybe at some point in the game, you come across this guy again for another secret item?
I only just found the Behamoth horn totally by accident while exploring. Tip: for the Behemoth Horn, you only need to go up 1 flight of stairs, not all of them, and then try to go back down. Saves half the time.
The flayer only has a higher attack stat. All of the ulitmate weapons have a hidden ability increases damage. This scales off of different things. The venus gospel will do more damage based on his current MP being closer to his Maximum MP (higher current MP % = higher damage). This means the damage potential of the venus gospel is much higher than the flayer, but can be significantly lower if Cid has low MP. You can actually see an example of one of these abilities in effect while cloud has the Ultima weapon equipped. The ultima weapon does increased damage based on Cloud's current HP. You will see the glowing effect on the blade grow dimmer as he approaches 0 HP, along with his damage dropping considerably.
wait... so cid doesnt need as much mp as possible but just needs to have his current mp full? Like 999MP will do the same damage as 400MP as long as your MP are fully loaded?
Jesper Lerch by the time you are ready to take on emerald and ruby you will have NO use for magic so mp will always be full And physical attacks are no use against ruby so not a real worry
You can get Yoshiyuki before you give Black Materia to Sephiroth. I know that because I always made a point of getting it since it made going through Wutai with Yuffie in the team a bit easier.
I had gotten a guide book published by VERSUS BOOKS called FF ultimate guide (unauthorized) in 1997... the only reason I was able to get everything. This was before Internet!
Waow man, knew about all these... except for the Flayer, and Behemoth Horn- cheeky Square doin' something like THAT! Always thought Cid's Ultimate Weapon was the Venus Gospel. Amazing info man, you've defo earned a Sub for teaching me new tricks to one of my fave games ever. 😉
Cid's ultimate weapon is Venus Gospel. But his highest attack weapon is Flayer. Just like Aerith's ultimate weapon is Princess Guard but her highest attack weapon is Umbrella
@@laneface Ahh, gotchya now sir, thanks! Never realised the Flayer existed y'see, so no experience with it. Can't wait 'til my next Playthrough comes 'round! ✌🏻
Love the video except that you favour items that players will encounter on every playthrough versus genuinely hard to get weapons. I never heard of behemoth horn though, so kudos for that.
Nice to see how little information you get ingame on your weapons. I dont know if its because of translation or because its never even there to begin with, but things like "Getting poison status doubles this weapons damage" would have been fantastic informations to know!
Sorry for the end part of the video at honorable mentions get cut off. You can thank a TH-cam copyright claim for that.
A very useful video dude I did ff8 on my channel finding useful things great stuff
Yes it's real I've gotten it
What got cut off

Same
It's rare for me to learn anything new about this amazing game, but this vid pulled it off! Thanks for the awesome content, and informing me about the Behemoth Horn.
I never ever stepped foot in that shop in the Shinra HQ.
Same oh my..
TH-cam has been disgusting me with the way they've been treating their content creators. I subbed
I hate secret things, or anything for that matter, that you only get one chance to get or else it's gone forever.
before the internet I would read the official and unofficial guides we had lying around,I think rising sun was mentioned in the unofficial one (it had a red cover - I still have it but forget the publisher), but wow I had no idea about some of these.
Now let's talk about the rarest armor ;) and Accessories :P
Ribbon would definitely be up there. I had to morph a master tonberry to get a third one.
Yeah isn't one ribbon in the temple of the ancients and another is in that ice cold mountain place
Though you can buy it later, I believe the first double growth weapon in the game is available on Mt. Nibel, a Rune Blade for Cloud.
I remember being particularly proud of my discovery of it as a babby since it wasn't in the official strategy guide or GameFAQs.
Actually the first double growth weapon in the game is the Peacemaker gun for Vincent you find in Kalm just after you leave midgar. Though he does not join your party until you choose to pick him up in the Shinra Mansion.
The first USABLE instance of a double growth weapon is the Magic comb for Red XIII which you get from winning the very first available fort condor minigame battle.
The first double growth weapon for Cloud can be acquired during Rufus' sendoff demonstration by scoring enough points of approval.
All three of these options are earlier than the Runeblade on Mt. Nibel, however kudo's for finding it without a guide. The two items on that screen are a pain to grab!
Congrats on 1k subs bud!
Lucahz Crazy! Can't believe it. All you guys rock
nothing unbelievable with good content. keep it up!
wow awesome channel yo! Dang i never knew about the behemoth horn at all lol. I never knew that weapon existed until this video. makes me want to play again and get everything again.
I gott admit there was a few here that I had no idea about, and I've played through the game probably a dozen times and done everything. lol
Sort of new about the weapons but its good to be reminded. Personally, I really appreciated Laneface's Gold Chocobo video, it helped a lot.
I’m pretty sure “missing score” is a reference to a job that he wasn’t payed for involving midgar.. if not then it should be 👍🏻
I figured it was because of its power boost criteria. It gets stronger the more AP is installed on it, so without any materia that power score is zero, or missing.
They probably had a programming error and mistook a Vincent flag for a Barret flag. Easy rectification: Bring both and pretend Vincent says it.
I'll help you get there, buddy. Your content is quality and you deserve monetization. Sub added! Keep up the good work.
I played this game when game when it came out in 97 and still play it every now and then but I never knew about some of these weapons ..I'll be more than happy to play it again just to find them...FF7 is the best 👍
I never knew that shop was there in Shinra headquarters
Dude, I've completed Final Fantasy 7 at least 20 times since I first played it back in 1997... I considered myself to have 100% completed it. I got a gold chocobo, explored everywhere (or so I thought), defeated all the weapons, got every summon, mastered every materia, beat every game at the Golden Saucer...
I still didn't even know half of the shit on this list existed. I'm stunned.
I've played this game loads of time and had no idea there was a shop in the Shinra building. My mind is actually blown.
Makes me wanna rebuy the game for the switch just to get the behemoth horn
Do it!
It's worth it and for more than just the horn!
Nice video, Not many people end up finding the parasol/flayer and behemoth horn items.
I'd consider the Magic comb and the super ball for this list instead of the ancient forest weapons. Both are acquired at Fort Condor quite early in the game. The magic comb as your first reward for winning. And the super ball is obtained for winning your 7th battle (earliest time to obtain if you do every battle possible is after talking to Shera once in rocket town, but before advancing the story by talking to her a second time.)
Also while not a weapon the Vagyrisk claw item is only obtainable from the weakest version of CMD grand horn at Fort Condor. Which has it's own wonderfully complicated way of being spawned and fought.
Ron Karker you can buy superball in disc 2 at Junon. And the vagyrisk claw I put I my rarest items video
I cant wait for the remake!!!!!!!
11 months later and no new news... I gave up on the remake.
@@Rain-bp4di fool
Addendum to the Behemoth Horn:
In addition to what you said in the video, another requirement is that you MUST climb the stairs during your initial visit to the Shinra Building on Disc 1. Agree with Tifa at the building entrance, then head up the stairs. At the halfway point, you'll find an elixir.
You MUST pick up the elixir, or the Behemoth Horn will not spawn during the Midgar Raid far, far later in the game.
Yeah, I know. It makes zero sense.
I actually always find the Behemoth horn weapon in disc 2 even if I don’t agree with Tifa and storm from the front door of shinra HQ
No u don't u can get both on disc 2 when u go to Shinra building the 2nd time
Well looks like I'm replaying FF7.... again.
I remember going out of the way for Yuffie's weapon off diamond weapon. Such nostalgia
Weow some of it these I never knew about thanks man 👍
I did not think there was anything more I could possibly learn about this game. The Behemoth Horn has me completely dumbfounded! Going to start a new game up right meow! Thanks!
They should make a remastered version of final fantasy seven and don’t change anything except the graphics something similar to what Capcom did with resident evil two
Will Burgos please I beg
Its going to be remade and the game mechanics and graphics will look like Final fantasy Crisis core. Its gana be epic dude!
They're already doing it. It's set for PS4.
RE2make is not a good example because they changed a lot. The first game's remake is much more faithful to the original.
The last one I had no idea about. One of the reasons I love this game. Always learning something new
1.25 the speed. Highly recommended.
First time this actually works. Highly recommended indeed.
This is perfect.
2x speed 😂😅
The versus guide is so much better.. it has alot more than the official square guide from Brady. It has crazy materia combos too. That guide is expensive though. A good condition costs 90+ and a rough condition will cost you 50 even now. It's all online now thankfully. But back then it wasn't.
Princess Guard should be in the list. Firstly because it’s very missable and secondly it’s an ultimate weapon.
And also. If you forget to unequip it from Aeris before leaving the Temple of the Ancients, it's gone forever 😭😭😭
@@Scott-M1 what do you mean?
@@Mankpiece If she has Princess Guard equipped when she leaves, it's gone for good, and won't appear in your Inventory again.
True
@Scott-M1 facts
As time goes on I still find out some more hidden stuff that have never been seen or mentioned in this game/series.
Good job.
First I was gonna say "Why not just do a top most rarest final fantasy weapons instead" but that would be too easy these days to most FF fans.
Well thanks for this video, I would prob never find some of these myself. And hey on the bright side as well, you are past 1000 subs
I played the OG ffvii but I didnt know there were rare weapons like those especially the behemoth horn. Wow! Thank you.
Although i disagree on the list, i completely agree about Barret's Ultimate weapon being dumb, and it being a better idea for Vincent's ultimate weapon being there, since he has some background history with Hojo, as it's just befoire that fight.
Too bad Vincent has absolutely nothing interesting to say, when you fight Hojo with Vincent in the party...
That's not true at all:
For most of the game, since Vincent is an optional character, his dialogue is ".....", "...?", and/or "...!"
But if you bring him to that SPECIFIC fight, he has special dialogue. First he'll do a "...." to fake you out, I think, but then he says something to the effect of this:
"All this time. All this time, I thought I was the monster...
"But the real monster...
"The real monster was YOU!"
For Vincent, this is a LOT of dialogue and character development, and only in this one fight, and ONLY if Vincent is in your party (no one else has dialogue with that much impact, imo, in the Hojo battle). I just remember when I did that fight, I had Vincent in my party because it seemed like proper poetic irony for him to help take Hojo down, and then he spoke more lines than he had in the entire game before that point, lol
You are right and I just found out about this yesterday.
Thanks for telling me the Yoshiyuki blade!
Yeah behemoth horn is new to me, I want someone to equip it and show the footage
Red XIII's weapons don't change in battle..
Ok done I plan on doing it on my first jewtube channel
At 6:30 you RE-EDUCATE THE GAME MAKERS.. MAKOS.. NAILED IT
I didn't even know that we could go to Speed Square play something!!!
And I play since 1997
:D
I recently started a playthrough of this classic and may have stumbled onto something. After you do the Don Corneo quest and he sends you down into the sewers, you can eventually go back inside Corneos mansion to where Tifa and Aerith were being held captive. There is a man tied down on what looks like a torture rack, and you help to free him. Maybe at some point in the game, you come across this guy again for another secret item?
Numbers 10-2: yawn.
Number 1: Ehh?! I never even heard of it!
Wow, I did play this game countless time, and I'm already expected some items on this list.
But some of them I don't even knew it exist. Thanks man
I see you made it to your 1000 subscriber's. lol
And over a year later he's increased that twelve fold :)
I only just found the Behamoth horn totally by accident while exploring. Tip: for the Behemoth Horn, you only need to go up 1 flight of stairs, not all of them, and then try to go back down. Saves half the time.
U only get it going down the stairs on disc 2 not disc 1
So, Flayer is stronger than Cid ultimate weapon?
In terms of the attack power stat, yes. Venus Gospel is at 97. Flayer is at 100
The flayer only has a higher attack stat. All of the ulitmate weapons have a hidden ability increases damage. This scales off of different things. The venus gospel will do more damage based on his current MP being closer to his Maximum MP (higher current MP % = higher damage). This means the damage potential of the venus gospel is much higher than the flayer, but can be significantly lower if Cid has low MP.
You can actually see an example of one of these abilities in effect while cloud has the Ultima weapon equipped. The ultima weapon does increased damage based on Cloud's current HP. You will see the glowing effect on the blade grow dimmer as he approaches 0 HP, along with his damage dropping considerably.
wait... so cid doesnt need as much mp as possible but just needs to have his current mp full? Like 999MP will do the same damage as 400MP as long as your MP are fully loaded?
Jesper Lerch by the time you are ready to take on emerald and ruby you will have NO use for magic so mp will always be full
And physical attacks are no use against ruby so not a real worry
@@stardust6004 my understanding is that only percentage of current mp matters, not total.
Man i found you this morning and i must say your videos are quite well done. You've earned a sub
I opened my playstation 1 for the first time in YEARS, just so see if I had behemoth horn and I did, I have no idea how I got it, mb just luck
Subbed. Great content. Never knew about #1 and #2. Didn't know about Shotgun either. Gonna watch your videos instead of sleeping.
How about Cid's Mop? It's a pain in the ass to find in Bone Village.
John Shepard The mop can be bought in Junon after disc 1
Huh, never knew that.
You can get Yoshiyuki before you give Black Materia to Sephiroth. I know that because I always made a point of getting it since it made going through Wutai with Yuffie in the team a bit easier.
Holy crap I got them all! Loaded up my old ps1 save (20 years old) yes I'm 40 something. Pile bunker... mine says pile banger. Did that change?
I had gotten a guide book published by VERSUS BOOKS called FF ultimate guide (unauthorized) in 1997... the only reason I was able to get everything. This was before Internet!
The umbrella and flayer were so hard to get back then... drove me nuts!
He he... I can see why they changed it from PILE BANGER! LOL
Yes, there were some translation errors. The Glow Lance used to be called "Grow" Lance lol
Mine too.
Waow man, knew about all these... except for the Flayer, and Behemoth Horn- cheeky Square doin' something like THAT! Always thought Cid's Ultimate Weapon was the Venus Gospel. Amazing info man, you've defo earned a Sub for teaching me new tricks to one of my fave games ever. 😉
Cid's ultimate weapon is Venus Gospel. But his highest attack weapon is Flayer. Just like Aerith's ultimate weapon is Princess Guard but her highest attack weapon is Umbrella
@@laneface Ahh, gotchya now sir, thanks! Never realised the Flayer existed y'see, so no experience with it. Can't wait 'til my next Playthrough comes 'round! ✌🏻
Most annoying background music ever omg
Good video other than that u still got a like from me
Its actually pretty chill
Love the video except that you favour items that players will encounter on every playthrough versus genuinely hard to get weapons. I never heard of behemoth horn though, so kudos for that.
Missing Score really is one of the shitty parts of Japanese game design, as per "you basically need to be lucky or just have the guide to get it"
RENEHIKO naw you just need Barret on your team.
He and cid were my favorites so I got it every play through
Nice to see how little information you get ingame on your weapons. I dont know if its because of translation or because its never even there to begin with, but things like "Getting poison status doubles this weapons damage" would have been fantastic informations to know!
Wait! So you couldn't fight any of the Weapons in the Japanese version ?
philip slattery not in the very first original release. Ruby and emerald made their debut in the EU and US version
And you could fight them in the International version, which is the EU/US version with the Japanese script and a bonus CD with tutorials on it.
i wonder how much that's worth if you have the tutorial disc with the game
north American add ons buddy
I wonder how much the 4th disc is worth ff7 shipped with the soundtrack rookies lol kupo
This is a very helpful and well made video! I've just subscribed. Looking forward to more videos after FF7 remastered has been released
ｓｕｂｂｅｄ
The Yoshiyuki is like Final Fantasy 7 version of Magus Death Sickle in Chrono Trigger😀💗
