  • Did anyone else spend like 4 hours in the swamp mastering all of your materia?

  • YOu know, I woudl probably buy FF VII on PSN if I hadn't watched HCBaily. I wonder at what point will I actualy buy another final Fantasy game ^^

  • Viewers! The Shield materia Nullifies Physical attacks

  • Well with mega-all i've done certain commands like deathblow which is my favorite to all.

  • Whats the ff7 ost on 2:11?

  • @axel7801 It's called Reunion

  • Agree entirely about Ally McBeal, I remember being told I just didn't "get" it.

  • Never needed to cast Esuna. It's a useless spell really. Just use White Wind and HP is restored as well as abnormal status.

  • i love your commentary lol

  • Ally McBeal. You know, until right now I had completely forgotten about that show. Whoo, I might have been pretty young when that show came out, but, damn, does it take me back!

  • When I went to the area where you used the save crystal, I went to the other path with the MegaAll and Cloud said, where are (characters that went the other way left)? And wouldn't allow me to go into that cave.

  • I used to watch Ally McBeal every Monday night... I had a habit of watching terrible TV when I was growing up. Don't do that to your children! Luckily around the same time I had games like this and CT, and silver age sci-fi novels to give me some culture.

  • a good use for mega all : get 4x cut. Equip mega all on that character and put mime/counter attack mime on all other characters = 4x cut on all each chars turn + on one character as a counter attack

  • i know whatcha mean thumbs up for a remake of all final fantasies!!! 

  • The shield materia as far as I know has to reach an amount of AP before it can be used. When used, you are simply immune to Physical attacks for a period of time within the battle I think.

  • Ally McBeal......why does that sound familiar?

    I'm 16 for the record. Not stupid.

  • @wolfofthefayth What's worse is she's meant to be a lawyer :p

  • Question: How can you put your Materia neatly in type order? Mine are all jumbled over each other and you have them all neatly grouped.

  • @f17coolplane Go to the materia exchange screen and select "arrange", if I recall correctly.

  • Ally Mcbeal has poisoned countless minds!!!! >_<

  • king behemoth in FFX casts meteor when defeated(Pisses me off everytime)

  • one gigantic dungeon crawl... that's what I think of ALL OF FINAL FANTASY one

  • hey, what if u use teh megaall materia for healing all ur party members witha single magic? would it work?

  • @ANlevant 2 words: All Materia

  • Mega all is useful to use with morph if you want to farm sources in the downed airplain.

  • lvl 89 xD im lvl 95 already without beating ruby or emerald (collecting everything before i beat them

  • i mite have a good use for the mega all

  • I was right at the part before the place you put the save point and my damn game decides to freeze. This just reinforced my hatred of the switch from more reliable solid-state game systems to less reliable disc based systems. (That and I just want to finish the game already!)

  • Lol... I am level 55 in the northern cave^^

  • @Foudavatar i was level 89 haha. Legit too

  • I spent a crap load of time in the plant area in my playthrough. red squishys and magic pot give tons of AP

  • 6:30 ya they were harder in FFII as well

  • If you go back and want to max out your stats you could use Mega All -Morph.

    Since Yuffie's attacks go by level you could do the sunken ship morphs for the groups.

  • What Does Sadness Do acutally

  • @Biosaiyan

    not as strong attaks, but you take less damage, i think.

  • @Biosaiyan You limit bar doesn't go up, or it goes up really slow. And you take less physical damage. Can't remember.

  • @Biosaiyan it makes your Limit Break bar fill slower

  • @ 2:32, the path of (I think) roots you take forms a fist towards the end.

  • ive gotta question does the people you send anywhere matter or is it just the amount?

  • @666hellkiller Certain people find certain items

  • lol those Allemagne enemies are annoying. Don't they cast Roulette or something? They should have been named Ahriman, sounded cool in FFXII. Yeah I agree about the King Behemoth HC. At least in FFX's final area, when you defeat them they cast Meteor on your party which can wipe your party out. I should know xD. As a matter of fact, I don't think the damage can be reduced with Shell, through I could be wrong, but really using an Aeon is your most defense against their final Meteor attack. xD

  • Heh, Ally McBeal. Haven't heard that show mentioned in a long time, outside the "Deader than Disco" entry on TVTropes. And you're right, this area really could've used some puzzles or mini-bosses. Guess they used all those up on Kefka's tower in FF6.

  • some1 pls help me..i have miss-clicked when it asked me where i want to go and now am stuck with the rest of the group..what can i do?:S also is this the group am supposed to fight sephiroth with?

  • you can combine it with Fullcure so you can fully heal all

  • I always put my Save Crystal there 5:43 , this area

  • You can use a hyper to cure sadness.

  • Comment removed

  • You know...who put the treasure down here anyway? Sephiroth a bit careless? Lost all his epic items to battle you with?

  • Mega-All and Steel/Mug or what ever you want to call it slash all enimies and steel from them all at the same time while dealing deacent amount of damage.

  • yeah look at the upload time thats not a lot of use now

  • double cut and mega all doesn't work. It over rides the command, making it a regular slash-all. But....use any weapon with 255 hit% and Deathblow, and you're good. Too bad you get it so late in the game.

  • "Waiter" - nice FF6 reference.

    You mean Ally McSqueal?

  • critics say that ff7 was far from perfect...

    it was only because final fantasy was too diverse to BE perfect

  • ally mcbeal was really good!

  • You don't need to waste Esuna on Sadness. ^_^' Just use a Hyper.

    As a matter of fact, use two. You take more damage under Fury, but the Limit Breaks, they just keep on comin'. =P

  • HAHAHAHA Ally Mcbeal...BTW when it coes out on October, make sure you watch STAR WARS THE CLONE WARS. Its the best thing CN have now, and w/ out it there is no doubt go bankrupt, becuase its crap now

  • X2 strike+mega all?

  • Worst television I have ever seen: Anything that is currently on Nickelodeon, anything currently on Cartoon Network, or anything done by 4Kids. My personal best for any of that is immediately turning it off without screaming.

  • you want bad tv?? try to watch the new jonas brothers show, or maybe Secret Life, how about the british show known as the avengers???

    now thats bad tv

  • wanna know something worse than Mcbille? Hannah montana..my personal best on that is...30 seconds XD

  • Mega-All:

    Equip Vincent with the Long Barrel Rifle, and link Deathblow to Mega-All. This will make it very easy to rack up kills for his Death Penalty weapon, and is more effective than using Matra Magic in the Mythril Mines.

  • damn it HC i mean its not your fault but you could have at least said that your party members go with you because i have my crappy people red xlll and cid there like 10 lvls behind im so screwd is there another way i can get vincent and barret back on my team ??? PLEASE HELP ANY1 !!!!!!!!!

  • you could go back to your save point o-o

  • hehe what shall I do encounter the magie pots but i dont got any elixir left and i cant flee :S some1 know a way please?

  • exit materia

  • Go get some elixers. And clone them.

  • never pictured you as a flautist, HC

  • the final area reminds me of the last area in ff4

  • Worst shows on TV are on TLC.. Jon & Kate and Little People Big World.... My g/f makes me watch and I want to slap someone.

  • Is it wrong that the Little People show makes me laugh? A lot? For no obvious reason, other than there being midgets on the screen?

  • I hate those assholes.

  • They kind of whine a lot for being payed so well. To do nothing.

  • y did u give the magic pots elixers

  • the magic pots can only be hurt after you give them elixers

  • does anyone know the muic for the room were he went up on

  • Mega-All, Master Command or Master Magic

    Mega-All, steal

    Mega-All, Death blow

    those are the best that i have tried

    try them see if they work!!!!!!

  • mega-all with death blow best ever

  • Ally McSkeleton.. I like to imagine that the sinew holding her skeletal thin arms makes warbling noises as she moves. I can't even imagine how harrison ford bones this chick, it would be like having sex with a 12 year old boy that vaguely looks like a girl.

  • Maybe counter all? Idk

  • steal all!morph all!lol

  • I love the Kefka reference at 2:05. You obviously like FFIV HC.

  • you mean FFVI, right? LOL.

    FFIV = FF 4

    FFVI = FF 6

    :)

  • Ally McBeal wasnt a TV show it was an open window to hell

  • I agree, this final dungeon is way too short and straightforward for such an epic game. Oh well, I guess they had to let something slip somewhere...

    As for FF5, I'm very close to the end now. My biggest complaint is that leveling up is painstakingly slow in the last sections and your HPs don't get very big very quickly.

  • Exp Plus? Takes ALMOST no time.

  • Well, FFV is hard.

  • Never really had a problem with Ally McBeal, though I never really watched it much. Also, I think the reason Final Fantasy Vii is so easy is because of ALL the material that they give you. It's crazy how much there IS!

  • Ally McBeal...I'll never forget it. I was sick with the flu, and chicken pox..and thats all that was on television...

  • Ahrimans/Allemagnes occasionally use L3 Flare and believe me, I mean occasionally. It's been used on me twice over the course of eleven years, and one of those times was via manipulate.

    But it severely skullfucks anyone with their HP divisible by 3. It did enough damage to kill them.

  • I do find it odd that the Northern Cave has no minibosses. Really odd.

  • i always felt that FFVII was made with some really good ideas and then rushed at the very end. I mean seriously, how small is disc 3?

  • Small enough to accomodate an insane amount of FMV for the ending.

    Actually, the entire game (ignoring FMV) is on all three discs. If you use cheats to alter a save file and change what disc the game thinks it's on, you can have the date on disc 3 and so forth. I'm not sure what happens if you trigger an FMV that's not on that disc though.

  • If you trigger one of the FMVs that's not on the disc you're on, I'm pretty sure it pulls up whatever FMV currently occupies that space.

  • FFX's final arena is cool but troublesome. Heh.

  • holy crap, I've never known that a W-magic existed

  • All of my replies seem to have come here. Sorry about that

  • MegaAll with Life 2?

  • I haven't tried that. There's no real need if you have final attack with phoenix

  • luckily in the japanese version you didn't have to feed the damn pots elixers:P

  • Ally McBeal? Utterly unCodeine-Able

  • ff3/6 reference with the waiter comment lol.

  • I never knew you could get the treasures on both sides...now I'm definately going to have to start a new file after I beat Final Fantasy Legend.

  • Shield Materia is amazing

  • 13 minutes! That's over 700 (seconds) !!!! ( Trying to sound like Vegeta ) I would prefer putting my hand in molten lava.

  • wait he says.....

    what do i look like a waiter?

    hooray kefka

  • One more thing with Mega All. Pair it with your master command and use it in conjuction with Morph and Mug. It also works with Manipulate and it will work through the monsters and you will take over the a monster. It cycles through like Magic Pot A, then Magic Pot B, etc.

  • HC correct me if I'm wrong but in FF4 don't they inflict doom on your party but I don't know the FF7 ones do the same.

  • MegaAll looks useful Deathblow is a good idea except only Vincent can use it well. 5/5 HCBaily i like the reference to the Final Fantasy Legend you made.

  • I used to have such a thing for Calista Flockheart. She had this super hot girl next door thing going for her.

  • Yeees, you did it! Deinterlacing worked. The quality is better than before when the characters move. ANd the compression time is shorter of course. So that's even better.

  • Tifa+her ultimate weapon+MUG+magaall= dead sepheroth

  • Once you level up the shield materia once it inflicts peerless on your party for a short time (broken) also about the comment I made on your last video I personally wouldn't consider it abusing a glitch as the effort just to get the master materia highly exceeds the benefit.

  • Mega all makes every spell and command all. (well mostly)

    So if you have more than one all materia you can replace them with mega all to save some slots.

  • Maybe mega-all and double cut(or dead blow), then command master w/ added cut....

    but i don't know if that's gonna work

  • I play the PSX version, so I don't know if there's any difference, but whenever I equip the Mega-all and 4x-cut on a single party member, the resultant Slash-All cancels out the 4x-cut.

  • I just didi it in emurayden the result was x4 to all then 1 random cut

  • On my game, the mega-all cancels out the double cut

  • Mmmm... weird

  • Since you need an all materia to make a single spell be castable on all targets one will be using lots of alls combined with other materias to be hitting multiple targets in this game. With the megaall materia that pretty much saves half of your materia slots.

    The bosses coming up have a lot of limbs to blast off so it's good to use for practicality's sake but I'd prefer just 4x cutting, miming, ultimas yada yada yada...but that's just me.

  • If you had tetra elementals equipped, then a MegaAll+Strong Elemental Magic would be the best thing for it. But still, it's not really worth the effort, huh?

  • you should really dramatize the last few episodes, great LP series

  • So the cave is one dungeon crawl. And Disc 3 is mainly for the cave. So Disc 3 is basically for ONE dungeon crawl? Why couldn't that be on Disc 2?

  • The FMVs in Disc 2 take up a lot of space. Thus, Square needed to use a 3rd disc.

  • I see.

  • the only other video compression setting I'd change is the size of these encodes

    make them 640x480 or 640x360 so they fill up the entirety of youtube's player and not just a small part of it

  • I never found the MEGA all useful here, since mostly you only get 1 or 2 enemies at most.....so it is kinda useless.....but it is nice to link it to a CURE (I am not sure if you can link it to enemy skill, boy, using BIG GUARD with one command, wicked)......but that is the only use I can see with the mega all at this point....boy it would have been great with early part of the game, when you have 3-6 enemies.....time saver indeed.

  • Really nice subtle FFVI reference there HC. ;p

  • @ 2:04 Hey Kefka! What did you do to HCBailly!

  • sorry for the double posts... but there's no king behemoths in FFIV. the ones that you fight in the lunar subterrian and bahamuts cave are just normal... but they're pretty damn hard... and i normally put mega all on my 2n contain, but since you've got added effect and only one contain, there's really no great use for it.

  • Wait, he says! Do I look like a waiter? *insert laugh*

  • lol, that's why i carry a bunch of hypers since saddness is pretty annoying in this dungeon.

  • Hahaha, nice FF 6 refrence HCB. 'What dose he look like? A waiter?"

  • 2:10 VI reference lol

    I love trickin' the game here

  • Seems like this LP just flew by even though we've seen a lot and learned many things we missed the first time.

  • If you don't use an Elixir on a Magic Pot and you attack it, it will shout something bad and steal an item. The words are Japanese I think. The Gremlins at Whirlwind Maze did something similar except it just damages. The move is called Bad Mouth. It's usually a counter attack.

  • Ah, Magic Pots...far more docile in this game than their cousins in FF6 Advance's Soul Shrine, who KILL you if you don't give 'em elixir.

  • Yes, Ally McBeal was terrible. Whats even worse...my mom bought the DVD boxset. >_>

    Now I have to look at the box of that atrocity whenever I want to watch a DVD that starts with A.

  • I put the save crystal in that location in my first playthrough of FF7 and regretted it, because you can't go back up through that area with the high AP enemies (Movers and Magic Pots). In later playthroughs, I always put the save crystal in that room with the glowing light, so that you have access to the high AP monsters and you can just jump down to the final area if you want to as well.

    I know it doesn't matter for your LP because it's almost over anyways, though.

  • You could always go all the way back and back to the rendezvous point. Good luck getting the enemy skill which only gets cast once per game by enemies HC.

  • Yeah. That is just a lot more inconvenient, though. Better to put it in the glowing light room so you have more flexibility about which way you want to go.

  • Yeah, you're right. On my first playthrough I thought that i wouldn't use it until some warning came that a boss was coming. So i went down the steps next to where HC is. Bad mistake, as you can't use it there. Got my first game over from that.

  • Which "scan lines" were you referring to, HC? I'm not familiar with that term. Did it have to do with the battle transitions?

  • Most people didn't seem to notice it, but if you really focused, you could see some horizontal lines on an object that was moving too fast. I thought it was some kind of scan lines.

  • I only noticed that in the Highwind. (and maybe some other locations where Cloud was realy close to the screen.)

    Never bothered me though.

  • I remember Jenny McNeal from Futurama.

  • Just curious, why didn't you use an Enemy Away Materia to make the battles... lessen? xD;

  • who ever you have equiped with Slash all... you can use mega all with as it will just pretty much put ALL effects on the magic and your basic attacks. Its decent but sometimes causes more problems.

  • This final dungeon is so calm compared to Memoria that was fuckin boss fights every corner

  • Ally McBeal to me is just a relic of the madness of the late 90s; I hate gimmicks in any media and that show was just one gimmick after the other.

    I wasn't a big fan of this dungeon either, especially when compared to the final areas of FF4, 5, and 6. Maybe they thought about giving you the ability to switch parties in this area as in FF6, but since you can only have Cloud, Tifa, or Cid lead a party, you couldn't have exactly the parties you wanted.

  • My Favorite final Dungeon is prolly Doom Castle from MQ...It's nice to visit the final 4 bosses again^^

  • mega-all is really only useful if you have a lot of All materia equipped, it saves slots for other materia.

  • When you go into that organic area and arrive in the final part with the Counter materia in the glowing light, is anyone else reminded of the materia fountain in Mt. Nibel that Sephiroth holds a lecture at in the flashack? It would seem fitting to come back to one of those in Sephiroth's final dungeon.

  • Yeah...movers give I think 2300ap...stick that to a nice Triple AP weapon, and that's a giant 6900ap.

    And the magic pots shout Gimme Elixer...they don't really die if you don't give them one, and can sometimes 1shot you after attacking without giving you one...

  • Looks like much better quality in this video than the previous ones.

  • Kefka. Win.

    I forgot why you have to use Elixirs on those pots though. Why was that?

  • The Magic Pots can't take any kind of damage until you use an elixir on them, that's why you have to use them on the pots.

  • What Jext said.  I guess I took it for granted that everyone knew that.

  • I haven't played this game in years. I knew it was something.

  • Movers make me happy :P

  • Hey, Kefka reference FTW! "Wait, he says. Do I look like a waiter?" Classic line from FFVI.

    Ugh. My mom used to watch Ally McBeal. That show was brutal. *Shudders just thinking about it*

  • :D

    this is the most epic load of vids ever! haha-so fun and intresting to listen to.

    storys about cats and all!

    thanks HC, looking foward to the next one :)

  • LOL, that Ally McBeal comment was so random.

  • Didn't see that one coming, did you?

  • Mover enemies are here like Pink puffs there are 1/64 or less chance on running into them Amd man so the have lot AP points.

  • I don't think Movers are THAT rare. I'm surprised HCBailly didn't show them off. Rarer than Magic Pots, certainly, but I ran into them relatively often. I'm pretty sure it's not 1/64. I'd estimate it's 1/10 or so. They are the best for AP grinding, but they don't give experience, as I recall... so Magic Pots are still pretty good, since they give both.

  • Movers are quite rare, but i ran into them quite a few times when grinding down there. I personally preferred the magic pots that game, but then, in that playthrough i was abusing the w-item glitch. Movers are more useful in a game without the w-item glitch imo. And they're quite good for gil if i recall too, but you don't really need it anymore when you get to this stage of the game.

  • Another good use for it is that it replaces your all materias on that character. However for you that may not be so good since you dont seem to use them that often.

  • NO FF6 KEFKA REFERENCES FOR YOU!

  • Hcbaily, I love all of your videos! But there is one thing I need to make this series perfect.....

    SING!

    XD, I love your singing, keep the pwnsome Let's play episodes coming!

  • maybe link double cut and mega all? wouldn't that be like a double slash-all?

  • Nope...Mega all is useful for like...your green master materia...since mega all is independant and such...I usually get as many master magics as I can, and then just farm movers for leveling the Mega All...It's pretty nice for some battles, but it could of been much nicer near the begining of the game...

  • yeah, but isn't that why we have mastered all materia?

  • Mega-all doesn't work with double cut unfortunately. If you have them both equipped, you can not do a double cut. Only a mega-all attack, which is basically a slash-all attack.
