I did it... I beat the snake...
sephirot did this????
>>738724974>forgets to absorb the beta skill You still have to do it lel

>>738725107>be a completionist>miss one mother fucking e-skill>can't backtrack
First time I played this as a kid, I was too stupid to catch a chocobo and managed to just outrun the snake after many tries.
>>738725107Blue magic is very, very good in FFVII too. Beta specifically is one of the better ones.
>>738725220>he didn't have multiple saveslol
>>738725107you are a beta skill
>>738724974now try to figure out how to snag beta from it on a minimum experience playthroughit's fucking hard but just barely possible with the right strategy
snaaaakesnaaaakeoooh it's a snaaake
>>738725420whats the strat? can't you just sadness block from the back row and survive?
>>738725420who gives a shit
>>738725235Sandbox approach
>>738725475this is the way, but put fire-elem on armor for whoever has eskill
>>738725220the only eskills that are missable are:trine (you get three fights to get this one)pandora's box (only cast once per game)
>>738725475those are important aspects, but the only way to do enough damage to defeat the zolem in such a game is to poison it. even then, it takes some lucky rolls to pull it off with your dedicated exp sponge (aeris)
The only reason to do this is to steal the Beta skill to make like the first 60% of the game a cakewalk.And also because Beta is one of the coolest skills in the game.
>>738725738>to do enough damage to defeat the zolem*the first time you encounter it, that is>>738725589i can't remember if you also have to do this, but seems likely as beta FUCKS
>>738724974Did Aeris...do this?
>>738725793Except that you need to finish 70% of disc 1 before being strong enough to survive Beta.
didn't this game come out like 30 years ago
>>738725872If you didn't reach level 100 by the first save point, did you really beat the game?
>>738725872nope, can be done on a min exp gamei've done iti even beat dio's challenge in the battle arena with a lvl 8 cloud
>>738725872You can survive Beta as soon as you leave Midgar is you build Barret right. The issue is being able to actually survive long enough to kill the Zolom and keep the skill.That's the actual hard part.
>>738726310You grinded unnaturally.
>>738726609if by grind, you mean i ran from every optional battle, then yes
>>738724974Don't use mods, only use them after you beat the game.
>>738725352Having 50 saves is unrealistic to real hardwareYou didn't play the game. Nevermind the fact there was a PC port back in the day.
>>738724974Looks like you defeated the Midgar Zolom too.
I was going for a Steam 100% playthrough a few years ago, but then I formatted my PC and lost my fucking save (no cloud backup unfortunely).Anyone has a perfect save around the part where you reach icicle inn?
>>738725420This is one of the very few fights in the game where it's actually a serious threat, but can be dealt with by clever use of setups, status effects and abilities. The only other time it's close to as good is the weapon fights.
>>738729104min level battle arena is some fine gaming, too
>>738724974You see a snake, I see a human, a father, a doctor.
>>738725646>pandora's box (only cast once per game)I don't think I even saw it the first time through the game. The fact that it's so bugged that it can only ever be learned once is some of the most fucked up shit from any JRPG of the era.
>>738729819it's a feature, not a bug
>>738724974Did anon... do this?
>>738726310bruh all your bitches are sad sort yourself out
>>738729905It's coded to be a final attack only cast, but they fucked up so that the cast restriction flag is a global variable that's never reset, or something equally fucking retarded anyway.
>>738730136yeah, that was a feature, not a bug
>>738730220Programming mistakes are not features, I'm afraid.
