FF7: Sumimasen!

While playing around with the JENOVA editor for FF7 PC, I came across "Sumimasen!". Intrigued, I made a spare save game, then set the location. Loading up the game, I found this rather peculiar battle.

OMG this exact thing has happened to me once before!! I think this only occurs if something's wrong with your game though (corrupt disc, bad installation, etc).

[Ketsum123]

Or, y'know, you use an editor to access it. Like me.

error pyramid: "if you found this message then please call staff"

but Cloud starts to rage and uses Omnislash

poor error pyramid, he was just being polite

[petitegoule]

I find this creepy as hell for some reason. Why not to make a simple error screen?

[MuaiThaips3]

how do you get this game for pc?

[SSCode09]

@RockSprites lol it would be "Pokemon Fantasy Blue Final Edition" if it was MissingNo. or MissingNumber.

@RockSprites From a programming perspective I suspect this is the default (exception) battle. If the part of code that launches a battle doesn't find the baddie you're meant to be fighting, it takes you to this battle. You usually write things like this to debug a program when you're testing it so that rather than crashing, you are able to find out what made the game crash and then fix it. Often those exceptions stay in the final release but just aren't seen, simply because the bugs were fixed.

Why would they name it "excuse me" (sumimasen)? Is this like "MissingNumber" in Pokemon? Leftovers of something the programmers were working on but decided to drop?

"Not a probrem"

[thackxton]

If you're using the JENOVA editor then you can just pick the Sumimasen! as a location. It's got no skill or talent what so ever to get it there.

Duly noted.

[MrApocalisse]

wtf

[chibiace]

the only thing you can do to it is attack it and the like, everything else seems useless.

Creepy old man who appeared from nowhere: Hey! that was my lawn ornament!

[alexandercns]

U cant mug it. Nothing happens if u Manip it. And it wont Morph.

[taylorwright44]

what happens when you mug it, manip it, morph it?

[randomname349]

You can face three of these pyramid things at once in the debug room.

[roxasfruit]

its a chocolate pyramid!!!!

[lerbagge]

Uh i kinda remember this battle from the ps one version of the game. Tell me if im just wrong or not?

[ofnir123]

yes it is

[ChristophoclesX]

It looks to me like the sprite used in the Reno battle (if I remember correctly).

[chee999]

i wanna fite it!!

[chee999]

what the heck is this

[kevinmlai]

Powerful? How? Just because it has a whole bunch of HP doesn't make it powerful. It doesn't even attack! It was one of several monsters that were used for testing the battle system.

I'm always intruiged by information about development and so-forth, like this. I want to be a part of a project like that @.@

However, this "test Zero" super monster that's not in the U.S. version I doubt. They probably wouldn't make a creature like this really powerful and give a bunch of experience or anything and then bother to go and make it not so in other versions.
