Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

Currently wrapping up missions at the moment in my playthrough, have 85% complete atm, have the ones to finish up that were unlocked upon Chapter 11(last chapter) and Minerva fight, which I previously only used to steal 99 phoenix downs multiple times for materia fusion.
Also need to work on genji shield/armor but I'll work on those after all missions done minus Minerva. Gonna do a new game+ in hard mode when I finally beat it.
 
You can fuse phoenix downs into Materia? O.o I thought you could only fuse those materia items into Materia.
 
You can use potions/elixirs/phoenix downs and even accessories in materia fusion.
For phoenix downs though you need to convert the materia into HP since other stats won't increase from it. So Curaga %30MP+Cure + 1 Fat chocobo feather for Curaga HP+30%.

Then do Curaga HP+30% with another Cure + 96 Phoenix Downs for Curaga HP+990%(each phoenix down gives 10%HP), then do the Curaga HP+990% + Cure + the materia fusion item you want to convert it into, so hero drinks for Curaga +100 STR, gysahl greens for +100 luck, etc. Lotta SP, but can also utilize Minveras 99 phoenix downs by selling them, buying 16-17 Dual Casts from Network Shop Shade, and those SP convert for 18k each.

Currently have Costly Punch +999%HP, Curaga+999%HP, Quake+100Magic, Gil Toss+100 Vit, Darkness+100 Attack, Graviga+100 Spirit,
also have a Mug I can throw up in place of Darkness with +100 luck, and it took like an hour at max to do all that just from Minerva, go in with brigands gloves+steal or mug, hit that materia before she kills you for 99 phoenix downs, die and use them either for SP or fusion, rinse and repeat.

The replay value on this game, just isn't there for me
 
atm I have Genji Gloves, Super Ribbon, Adaman Bangle, and Ziedrich. I haven't bothered getting Genji Shield (I know where :P) and I'm saving up money cause I'm gonna be insane and buy 99 Genji Helms for the hell of it! (even though Genji Helms are kinda meh). For materia nothing atm, I'm just leveling them all up XD only consistant one is one with 999% for HP

I have 99% complete for the mission (minerva only left) and just kinda screwing around :P I WANTS MAH GENJI ARMOR! (only Aerith, Cissnei, and Genesis)
 
Got genji shield and armor last night, and damn did the shield take a while, frickin magic pot and attempting to have Octoslash activate before it runs away >>

Just beat Minerva for 100% missions, now going to finish up the game soon and new game+ on hard mode, although missions reset, so I'm not sure I want to do them again, but just do the main game.
 
7-6-6, Seeking Priceless Items-The Accessory Craftsman-The Determined Recruiter

Gil Toss/Costly Punch/99999 Damage/Octoslash.

I had 2 of the materia that increases chances for Sephiroths Limit Verge equipped, both mastered, and 1 of Cissnei's to increase Lucky Strike chance mastered equipped for higher chance for modulation phase with Heavenly status, plus the Costly/Gil Toss, and Curaga as my 6th cause those ostriches suck.

Can take a while to encounter one though, then hope Sephiroths limit verge activates.
 
Was it the pot that as the boss? Or just a normal random mob? And I still don't have a Costly Punch. Though, I've been using Hammer Punch for ownage of anything.
 
Costly Punch > Hammer Punch :P
 
Random encounter in that mission, can take a while to run into.

And yea costly>hammer, 1/128th HP cost as opposed to 99 AP, and it can damage mobs with high VIT like Grand Horns. Only bad thing is if you have HP Break above a certain % it will do 0 as opposed to max(9999 or 99999), but with 2 materia with +999%HP and at like level 60+ you'll never get HP break above that %.

Plus with regen from Genji Armor, which is like 6500 every few seconds, that HP drop isn't that noticeable.

So when you want to upgrade, take that Hammer Punch, assuming it's mastered, fuse with a mastered libra for Costly Punch. Various other ways to upgrade too.

Guess I just need to keep doing missions for a Costly Punch eh. Since I only have the Hammer Punch atm I don't mind using my AP. The only other thing I use it for is dodge roll. lol

It'd just be nice to get some better gear so I can unequip my AP++ 300%. I want to make a Energy Materia with +100 magic soon. Maybe work on a Curaga with +100 Spr too D: Aw to dream.
 
I was just doing some Tonberry Missions and that pot showed up. I was told to use Fira, Jump, Gravity, and Assault Twister. I did that and got him. No Octaslash needed ^^
 
There's several pot encounters in various missions, they all can give the DMW first time you do their 4 moves they want, you'll wanna get the DMW from the ones that can't give genji shield.

So if you had done the 7-6-6 one w/o DMW, you would have gotten DMW first, but if you got DMW from previous ones, then genji shield. Still need Octoslash for the shield one

So yeah, just beat it, even though I knew what was coming, the ending still made me sad, the struggle Zack went through, plus well
Spoiler:
fighting the whole damn Shinra army and 3 soldiers left at end, seeing the DMW fade out, then the headshot at end, plus the scenes following it
Although Cloud did what he did in VII cause the mako poisoning fucked him up, you could just tell at the end of CC, so I don't think he's a dick for doing it.

Click to expand...

Spoiler:
I think the stream of soldiers were endless. They just happened to have showed 3 only, either because, er, well, it was getting late/they thought they could finish. I mean, the helicopters that were firing missiles at him were gone too.

Indeed, it could've ended better, but makes me wonder why he wanted to avoid the Turks, there was probably some gaps in the story I failed to grasp.
 
there was one thing in the movie things in the DMW that I didn't know. It was the one where Tseng and Zack are seeing these two swords in the ground.. who the hell are they? lol

Edit: here we go, the video came up again... who the fuck are Sabastian and Essai

Jesus christ at Minerva <_< That bitch hits me for 99 999. Since I'm sure I missed some chests. Where do I find the other Genji gear? I have gloves atm. I don't really want to redo all those missions to find out. >_>
 
255 vit/spirit is pretty much a must for Minerva so her attacks don't one shot you, plus guarding when she does Ultima. Judgment arrow can suck too, cancels reraise among other things plus drain MP and AP.

Ziedrich is a must for that fight too, least imo for the 100 increase to all stats minus luck, it's in a chest in mission 9-5-6. This coupled with a materia with +100 spirit and one with +100vit will give you 255 of each.

And need something that does 99999 damage else you'll be in for a long fight, and even then it takes 99999 X 101 (at the least in normal mode) to win, more with her healing moves.

As for other genji equip(and I'd suggest armor/shield/gloves/ziedrich for this fight) for genji armor get 100% DMW for each character, meaning see all the little videos, there's a summon you can miss permanently though and won't be able to get armor. Auto Regen/Auto-Endurance(moves won't knock you back), plus break HP limit.

Helmet find the shop card in a chest in 9-5-4 then buy it for 1million gil, can only buy one, unless you buy them all at the same time, if you close it and reopen the helmet will be gone after you buy. Although this gives 0 MP and AP cost, I still wouldn't use in fight over zeidrich, just pop an elixir+phoenix down after Judgment Arrow and heal up, good to go, dualcast is good also.

Shield is the magic pot in 7-6-6, do the moves it asks for (Gil Toss, Costly Punch, 99999 Damage and Octoslash) and if you already have the Item Mugger materia for Magic Pot DMW, it'll give you the shield, this and armor are the worst to get imo, can take hours to see all scenes and hope Octoslash activates before the pot runs away. It grants auto wall(barrier/mbarrier), absorbs all elemental attacks and cancels all bad statuses, but since she doesn't use any, it's just used for autowall in this fight, can also use a protect ring for that effect.

Judgment Arrow can't dispel auto-effects, so those are key to this fight.

And Elemmire, those 2 are from the cellphone title Before Crisis,
Spoiler:
they're 2 SOLDIERs and friends of Zack who get taken prisoner by Avalanche(the original group, not Barrets second incarnation) and this Avalanche is extremely ruthless and militant. They experiment on these 2 SOLDIERs who are not able to be freed from their status after the experiments, they're basically soulless. So the Turk the player is controlling, with assistance from Zack, has to kill them both.

Ya, right now i'mma just continue to steal 99 Phoenix downs from her till I have my +100 vit, Spr, and +999%(x2?) Hp materias.

Trying to get a Curaga with 100 Spr, Energy or Quake with 100 Mag, Costly Punch with 100 Atk(Costly Punch does kick the shit out of Hammer Punch, a few Hp vs 99 AP, fuck ya!), Something with 100 Vit, haven't really thought about it(Maybe a Death Jump if I ever figure out how to get Vit into it), and two things with Hp 999%.
 
I still don't believe that the mako addiction was still that strong at that point to make Cloud think he was Zack. He was fully coherent at the point of Zack telling him what to do. I stand by my opinion that Cloud is a dick.
