Topic: Final Fantasy VII, IX, X, X-2 and XII - Now with 80% more FF VIII

@Ralizah I'm at the theme park? If that's what it is. So I don't believe so.

Heh, everyone agrees about Cat, @Ralizah .... Gold Saucer is the theme park, once you go up to it from the town. @NintendoByNature ?

@BruceCM got it. Then I'm there 😁

My favourite characters were determine by which had attacks that can do the most damage.

If I remember correctly, the only characters that have Limit Breaks that total above 9999 are Cloud, Barrett, Cid and Tifa.

Maybe Cait Sith had one too, but I wouldn't know because I avoided using him.

@Dezzy Cait Sith was probably the only character I didn't like.

Hmm, supposedly, the 1st optional character will automatically join your party in the remake .... Although how anyone knows that is a bit of a mystery She at least looks great, which might help alleviate being an annoying character! Maybe

I remember liking Cait Sith, though I’m not sure if I used him a lot on my playthrough back then.

Is there a way to unequip magic on someone and shift it to another character in 7? I think it was originally materia, and now it's under magic, so I cant unequip it on XIII and put it on barrett. I could be overlooking something

You can transfer the relevant materia, @NintendoByNature .... ? Since that's how anyone does magic in that game

@BruceCM it wasn't working when i tried. I can try again since maybe I was doing it wrong. Thank you.

@BruceCM

They have said that none of the characters will be optional in the remake.

I think the reality is that with modern production values, they just can't spend that much money on a character and have it be optional.

There's also the fact that Yuffie and Vincent have come to be seen as important characters by the fans over the years, even though they were originally optional. I mean how many optional side-characters have gone on to have their own games? Vincent had Dirge of Cerberus, and Yuffie was probably the most common character used in Dirge and Crisis Core.

Well, you don't go into magic to do it, @NintendoByNature .... You know how you equipped materia, right? So, unequip from whomever has it & equip on whoever you want to have it! Yeah, it certainly makes sense, @Dezzy! We'll have to see what the characters end up being like when the whole thing is finally finished

@NintendoByNature

Materia is responsible for all of a characters moves, except Limit Breaks.

So every kind of magic is caused by having the materia equipped.

@BruceCM

I imagine Yuffie will be showing up in the 2nd game. Maybe Vincent too actually. My current guess is that it's going to be 4 games for the whole thing.
I was originally hoping for 3, but then they went and did just Midgar for a game, so 3 seems kinda impossible, unless they signficantly reduced other locations in the world, like Junon, Wutai and Gold Saucer (which are all supposed to be city-sized as well). They have said they don't want to reduce anything like that though. They only want to expand things. So 3 games seems impossible.

Yuffie should definitely be in the next part, @Dezzy .... I'm expecting it to be at least 4 in total, too! We shall see

@BruceCM @Dezzy thanks. Ill give it a crack tonight.

Keep us posted, please .... ;D

@BruceCM i will for sure. Part of my confusion was that XIII had cure but when I went into his materia it wouldn't show up. So in battle I was able to use it as magic .

There isn't a materia called cure, as such, @NintendoByNature .... It's the restore materia, which has cure & a few other similar spells

@BruceCM lol then what's magic labeled cure?!?!?!? Hahaha. What materia is that? Restore? Sorry, ima fool sometimes lol

Materia often covers several different spells, @NintendoByNature .... So, in battle, you use whichever magic you want of those available For transferring between party members, it's the materia you need to move! Maybe someone else can explain better?
