  • working for my psp version, found it easier to fly real close to the floor otherwise the highwind was flying in circles and all over the place

  • Thanks for the video. Took me a few minutes but I finally figured out the trick to it. After I knew to help L1 on the way down it got simpler, and then I kept getting the ship to phase through the cliff but Tifa always got out on the wrong bit! But I discovered I simply wasn't lining the ship up close enough to the edge of the cliff.

    It literally has to be lined up as close to the edge as possible whilst still allowing you to land. Nose of the shadow below should be over the cliff. :)

  • @corneliusfingers thanks!

  • Good thing it's quadra magic, not that crappy HP-MP one. Quadra magic is actually useful.

  • remember if you change the default buttons a lot of the controls be come glitched :P

  • i cant do it the stupid piece of shit fuckin airship either turns the fuck around or takes off again right away, I;ve watched 4 different fucking videos, tried l + sqaure + L1 and every other fucking thing people have said to fucking do, I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR TWO FUCKING HOURS!!! THIS IS FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE!!!

  • @LordAverock I just did it right now for the first time ever in about 3 minutes. You mad, faggot? :)

  • @LordAverock at this point its prob best to put the game down for a while

  • deff works like a charm just did it for the psp/ps3 version thanx man!

  • With no 'strafing' sideways, the Highwind immediately takes off again to maximum altitude. The strafing tricks it into not doing that. The character can also get stuck

    I found it pretty near impossible to do, but it happened by accident. So, what can I say? Keep trying? Patience might be sufficient, or it might not

    There are many reasons to raise Chocobos; eg Quadra Magic is nothing compared to Mimic & KotR

    Even if you can beat Emerald Weapon and get Master Materia, there is no Master Support

  • also hold L1 while you are landing and strafing

  • nice work bro!

  • Does it work on the PS3 Version?

  • I did it

    thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanx

  • wow it really works, thanks for the upload

  • It works on PC version!

  • dosnt work on psp :(

    

  • I'm doing it on the fpse emulator for my evo.4g, I keep getting stuck on the side of the cliff!

  • Oops.. what should i do if the ship stay'd on the grass but i cant reach it because im in the dirt?

  • @Cr0zzle L1 L2 R1 R2 start select

  • im just gonna do it the chocobo way -_-

  • Guys, change the view in character mode (As either Cloud Or Tifa)

    I guess no-one will be interested that I named them Katsu and Rukia respectively...

  • i don't get why my highwind flies off before it even lands

  • Yeah, it works in the PC version but the controls are confusing because everyone has different ones, and I think without a joystick it's a little bit harder too.

    Here are the controls for the PC version;

    Get out of the highwind and press [CAMERA] so that the world revolves around you when you walk.

    Then get back in, go to the edge of the cliff, press [CANCEL] and then quickly press [OK] and [LEFT]. Do not press it for too long.

  • I am using the PC version and had no problems doing it :) Took about 4-5 attempts but it was fine. I also am just using the number pad on my laptop so it's not that hard

  • If you have the facing north problem with the airship, it's because your "walking view" is in static mode (i.e. North is always up). Just land and press L1 to change the view to the lower level view. Then get back in and bombs away!

  • thanks! i faced my plane north and it worked! the main point that i was forgetting though, that you have to press square right before you land hahah after i realized that i made it in one try :)

  • For those of you who have trouble doing it the way it is in this video because your plane wants to face north, I tried it facing north and it worked. The altitude doesn't really matter either, I was as close as you could get to the ground on the edge, facing north, on the southernmost edge of the grassy cliff, and tapped X, hit Square, and moved toward the rocky ground. Finally got Tifa to get down there, lol..... giggity.

  • i cant do it, the highwind always turns before landing

  • lol I made it on my first try, how lame are you guys? :pPpp

  • My Highwind sux! >:( It faces north everytime I try to land.

  • I was never able to do it the way it was done on this video.

    Instead i put the airship as close to the edge as possible , and just when it was about to land i hold down square and push the air ship to the edge.

    Think its showed in another video

  • Works on PC Rebirth version too :P

  • Ha, I did this by myself once. I was surprised, and actually happy I didn't have to go through the breeding stupidity.

  • its real it works on ps version just confirmed it

  • OMG! took me about 100 tries, but i finally got it. YEA!

  • OMG! took me about 50 tries, but i finally got it. YEA!

    PC-Ultima version.

  • Its hard to do. but its way easier than raising a chocobo

  • it works on the psp version... just press x before you hit land press [ ] (square)up = left with l1

  • Also works on PSP! (Difficult, though.)

  • Comment removed

  • got it nice glithch do ja know one for the other too?

  • If you're having trouble, try facing north rather than south. It was a lot easier this way for me.

  • This actually freaking works for the PC!!!

  • It's even possible on the PSP version (bought from the PSN), somehow I was able to get it on my second try.

  • Works on the PC version. I just confirmed it. Took me a while to get this right, though. Before trying it, get out of the airship, set your perspective to the low angle (not overhead), then get back in and try it. If your camera is in overhead mode (which it is by default), the ship will try to turn itself to face north when it lands, and you won't get out on the side facing the cliff.

  • @quakertroy hey man thank you your comment is much more worth it than the video

  • @quakertroy great tip. After trying about 20 times I read this, took me 5 more tries and I got it. This was on a PSX emulator on my phone (EVO). *Change to the low angle perspective!* I was facing the water, with the rocky area to my left (almost directly south on the actual map), hit X to land and then hold square and up+left until you land. You should be in position still holding square and up+left until you leave the highwind.

  • In response to anyone saying that this doesn't work: I just finished testing both the PS1 and PS3 (downloadable) versions and have confirmed that both of them do function.

    Tips: Keep at it. Success is easier if you try landing at the corner of the green area and then directing your ship towards the dirt while pressing square. ALSO: As someone mentioned earlier: Make sure that your character view is set to perspective and NOT overhead (though you CAN still succeed with overhead)

  • For those having trouble: Make sure you're pressing not only the up and left buttons but also L1.

  • Just did it first try on the PSN version. Lovely, still gonna breed my gold, just dont have to bother going there now. >.>

  • its works!

  • Can't get this to work. Can't even do that kind of sideways movement, the square will only make me go forward.

  • My ship ended up landing completely on the Dirt though, what are the chances of that, lol

  • Ha, Ha, Ha, I wonder sometimes how people figure these things out. It worked like a charm. Thanks for the tip \m/

  • Awesome, thanks.

  • Nice it really does work! It's really amazing to find this glitch.

  • I tried many times and it DOES NOT work on the downloadable port for PS3...I'm not talking about the psp version.

  • It's the same version dumbass.

  • @buddhaoli

    I just now did it on the ps3 port. No joke. Took some trys, but I got it. Just keep trying.

  • it does work on the psn version FOR SURE

  • it works but the highwind lands on the rocky part and i land on the grass :(

  • Wizasak is absolutely right. When I followed his advice it worked in one try.

  • Comment removed

  • This Does work for psp and psp go and thanks for your help

  • omg, it does work!!! thank u!!! but what i noticed with mine is tht soon as i landed, it will board my character on the ship and be airborne, so what i did 2 prevent tht was 2 hurry up and move my character(tifa right now) really quick b4 the highwind goes airborne lol

  • it doest work for me i try this like 20 times but it just dont work for me?

  • i got the golden chocoabo

  • what are the buttons for the pc version?

  • I can confirm this still works for version you download from the playstation network for the PSP-go.

  • The only thing this great video doesn't says is that you have to change your view (when you are controlling your *CHARACTER* not your ship) from top to side(or else the ship will spin)!!!!! That's all, enjoy your new materia!!!

  • wtf? in your video your ship doesnt go retarded and spin iteself. my stupid highwind always turnes itself so that my character pops out in the green area. i want to kill ff7 right now. -___-

  • THNX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • it fucking works :P

    SWEET :D

    i hate chocobo raising ! :P

  • holy shit, it actually worked

  • This doesn't work for me. I've tried more times than I can count and all I got was a nearly-broken controller.

  • sorry brah the same thing happened to me

  • THANKS!!!!

  • Tried this before but never got it. Turns out, the info i had was wrong. Thx for the RIGHT info!

  • awesome :) took a few times but i got it. and im using the psp/ps3 version. now i can enjoy comet2 4 times muahah.

    thanks!

  • gosh that tool a long time like 30 tries and this works im using the ps3 version on my psp

  • in my ps1 version of the game they always seem to face the highwind north

  • try to switch your world-map camera into the default one, with the camera that views from the rear of your character, with that trick u could land the highwind facing other than north...

    it works for sure!

  • Playing this on my psp and it works like a charm, first try. Fantastic stuff, thanks a million I had read about it but didn't get it, though after seeing it it's quite simple :)

  • i dont know why i got the thumbs down. i got the pc version and its possible..

  • Done it first time!!

  • Is anyone actually sure that they didn't fix this on the PS3 PSN version? I really really can't get it to work BY FAR... The ship turns the other way if it's faced north (so it does 180° turn) this happens EVERYT TIME. So it's not like I can get it to land on the cliff because it always turn away...

  • just so you know, i got it to work on ps3. it was painful, but very worth it ;)

  • same thing was happening to me too, to fix it, land the airship and press R2 to change the camera view from overhead to side view (i guess??) and then get on the airship, and when you land it it won't turn north, at least that fixed ir for me

  • They didn't fix the W-item item cloning glitch so they probably didn't

  • hey man im playin that version and i just did it, you just gotta land facing north and lean into the right on the tip took me like 30 tries but i got it keep trying

  • woo! success! after like 30 tries XP

  • lol....same...i think i make more than 30 tries to done that...=.=

  • is this work for PC version? coz i cant make it...=.=

  • it works

  • Comment removed

  • @tcyang1991 Dude I did it on my absolutely very first try like 5 minutes ago. Just land with X and while the ship goes down, press Square and steer the ship towards the rocky ground. So simple it's not even funny XD

  • @tcyang1991 it does, i just did it myself

  • GREAT VIDEO ! THANKS !

  • I appreciate the video but your over complicating it majorly, all you have to do is line up on the other side of the island land hold square and move over like one inch, your way is haphazard and it probably throws people off.

  • Awesome thanks

  • works on the ps3 version as well :) thx.

  • WHAT?! PS3 version?

  • sorry ment the version u download from Playstation network that work on playstation 3. But still it works, i hope they reales FF8 soon

  • I think he meant playing it on the PS3.

  • does this work in the PAL version?

  • you rock! thanks!

  • THX!!!!!!

  • How come that when I land the highwind, it automatically faces to the north? It doesn't land facing the south... I can't do the glitch...

  • seems I made it work the other way... took me a couple of tries..

  • hold L1 and square whilst landing and it will stop it

    worked for me

  • Neato! When I get the Highwind I'll definitely give that a try!

  • I already did it on 7/16/2009, I did a few tries, it worked. All you have to do is press the land button and then hold the move the highwind in any direction button and the direction to the path you wish; on that cliff shown on this video.

  • Not as easy as it looks, took me like 20 goes to do it

  • i tried this on the downloadable via playstation network.. it got me down below the cliff, but i couldn't move my character and was forced to get back on the airship... there was nothing blocking my path. Any1 have this happen/know how to fix it?

  • It still works. I just watched my friend do it. You are probably too far back. Try moving forward a bit and you should get it.

  • This is hard since the ship always turns around on me and I get off on the other side... T_T

  • Just remember something random. I thought why on earth does such powerful magic exist? Then I thought that the materia is completely natural is why. Materia seems much more powerful when it's natural. Not just the cave magics, but others as well. Comet, Ultima, etc.

  • Got it! wooooo! Thanks! :D

  • haha! this works on the PSN version for the psp!

  • of course it does the psn "version" is the exact game that was on the disc all those years ago nothing changed.

  • oh i know but...shit happens.

  • well you can get slow down glitches on 1 or more disks when putting the game on your psp i reccomend a high speed memory stick.

  • how do you do those?

  • errr there just made that way you can buy them in stores but you can as well try copying the game from your ps3 again which might work . it happened to me when i hit disc 3. even if that doesnt work you can transfer the save back on to the ps3 and keep playing from there

  • Read a couple different ways to do this and this one was the only one I could get to work!

    Did this on a PS3 with the actual PS1 disc....so it works on that too...

  • woot. just got it. that feeling is so good.

  • Just confirmed that this works on the PC version. If anybody gives a damn.

  • i do, tyvm ^_^

  • Song: By: Answers- "Vigilante"

  • damn. i keep trying but i get what call is getting. and when i do land on the edge tifa goes out to the wrong edge of the cliff.

  • works, thanks!

  • Heh even works on the PSP version from the PSNetwork, good game man, good game.

  • Woohoo. I worked. A couple times, I landed on the grass and fell below, but I couldn't move, and then it worked! yay!

  • Argh I have call's problem

    It lands, shakes a ton then shoots back up!

  • Woot, I did it first try. Thanks for the upload. :)

  • i can't do it! the ship seems to fix itself on the grassland

  • Keep trying. You'll get it eventually. :)

  • When I tried to do it, The Highwind glitched onto the land like it should have, but then went back up into the air. What uh.... does that mean?

  • nevermind. I'm just a douche. I got it now :)

  • Cool, good job. :D

  • THANK U UR MY HERO ^.^

  • i did it on the pc but i made it spin in circles over that spot then made it land almost in the ocean but it worked just takes time.

  • i wasted so much time with f*****g chocobos wen i could of done this, :-P

  • done it in the 9th try :D

  • done it in the 3rd try.

  • lol I love this glitch.

    I used it on ps1 when i first got the game.

    I saw the cave and kept trying to land until i figured this out. It was a happy day.

  • i was about to give up, but i just managed to make it work! i held square the whole time

  • ARG I cant do it :'(

  • Sweet. I'm using the PSP version and I got it in like 10 seconds. Thanks alot man.

  • am playing it on the PC virson and everytime i do it the ship flys up again..

  • They probably fixed it in the PC version.

  • will this work on PC version.. my brother can't do it..

  • did it! thx! only on disk 2 and own, qaud magic plus comet 2 = ownage

  • i got it to work in less than 10 minutes on ffvii (psx) on psp. just need to press x around ledge, and quickly press square + left at the same time, itll glitch up

  • Pleas, say us the name of the song what playing on this video.

  • ATTENTION!

    There's an easier way to do this. Simply face THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. It seemed to work way better. The Highwind doesn't spin around if you do.

    Another thing: What's the name of the song?

    =D Quite catchy...

  • wowza nive ip!!! i just got it but it took like an hour but it is fine i liked it so thx. is there nywy to get knights of the round without a chocobo. if there ius plz make a vid

  • i cant do it either but im using the PSX version, [the downloaded version for the PSP]

  • OMG!!! I cant get it to WORK!!! Im on the ps version.... is that why?

  • nopers i just did it today and it worked :) took like a half hour tho lol

  • incredible.

    and i was doing the idiot with chocobos

  • worked a treat! tanks!

  • this works great, but can anyone tell me what song is playing on this video?

  • lol that was fun go tifa get your Quad magic :) who i did it with

  • Just did this on disk 2 with Tifa as the leader. It works.

  • raising a chocobo is much funner ^.^

    Plus having a coloured chocobo is awesome. I kept all mine, I got green, blue, black, Normal(wonderful chocobo)<--(breed with black chocobo to get gold), and 2 gold :)

  • It works, i just tried it on the PS version.

  • WII DID IT

  • hey, did u move arc left too when landing???cuz, when i land my ship turn 180 degrees and i end up far right from the rocks x(

  • how did you do it? I had the same problem of my ship automatically turning itself so that I would leave on the other side of the rocks

  • Press square while turning

  • this doesnt work in disc 3....i messed it up T___T

  • Lol this does work :D Did it 1min ago.

  • I try it and it doesn't work. The airship turns before i land it so I can't get it.

  • no fun in that you did not earn it

  • Kinky but satisfying! Thanks for the tip crouchingleech. Now I just need to figure out how to properly complete the Scepter Force challenge...

  • NEAT
