FFVII – Novellas, Part II (Addendum)

One I missed!

FFVII – Novellas, Part II

Summary: The remaining three FFVII novellas, “On the Way to a Smile.” Barret, Yuffie, Denzel, Shinra.

FFVII – Novellas, Part I

Summary: Some of y’all (I think it was CJWriterGal first, but apologies if my memory’s off!) directed me towards seven FFVII novellas/short stories out there. So I read them, and here are some brief reactions to the first four: Aerith, Tifa, Nanaki, and Barret.

FFVII Advent Children - Liveblog this Sunday! (11:00am Central)

Liveblog for the complete version of the "Advent Children" movie this Sunday, May 24th, at 11:00am Central time.  The thread for the liveblog is currently set-up on Mark Spoils.

All are welcome to join in, watch, and post.  I know pretty much nothing about the movie aside from that it's generally about the FFVII plot and universe somehow, and Cloud and Sephiroth are in it, so NO SPOILERS is still in effect.  My posts for FFVII: Crisis Core begin next week.

Hope to see you Sunday!

FFVII – Part 74: Gettin’ Offa This Train

Summary: Some brief parting thoughts on Final Fantasy VII.

(Also, poll on "Advent Children" liveblog time this weekend!! http://strawpoll.me/4405269

FFVII – Part 73: Surge of the Lifestream

Summary: Cloud faces off against Sephiroth one last time. One word: “Omnislash.” The Meteor plows into Midgar. Holy does its best to hold off the Meteor to a destructive stalemate before the Lifestream finishes the job. Aeris. OH YEAH, NANAKI PUPPIES!

FFVII - Brief post and poll on what comes next

I'll post my final game segment tonight, and then some final thoughts on the game Tuesday or Wednesday.

Here's a poll on what I should do next: http://strawpoll.me/4390467

I'll check results through Tuesday evening.

If the "Advent Children" movie wins, I'll post a follow-up poll for when I should do the liveblog on markspoils.com.  Feel free to jump in!! The more the merrier. :D  (It'll probably be this Saturday or Sunday, midday U.S. time.)

If Dirge of Cerberus or Crisis Core wins, I'll start it next week.

FFVII – Part 72: Nothing is Safe

Summary: We push back through the North Cave, back past Jenova. Both form of Sephiroth go down this time. GOT HIM! …or did we?

Fitness Stuff - May 15, 2015

Morning weight: 267.4 lbs

FFVII – Part 71: Heartless Angel

Summary: First crack at Sephiroth. It… doesn’t go well. I’m slow on the uptake and confused about the mechanics, and then his second form, the angelic octopus, kills me.

FFVII – Part 70: Jenova

Summary: We fight through a merciless gauntlet of Iron Men, defeat Jenova, and reach Sephiroth.

FFVII – Part 69: Spelunking

Summary: The party leaves the Highwind for the North Cave. The path to Sephiroth and Jenova, who we STILL KNOW JACK ABOUT WHO ARE YOU JENOVA. The terrifying Tonberry. The party splits.

FFVII – Part 68: Why We Fight

Summary: Up the Mako Cannon, and the ultimate death of the horrifying Hojo. The party enjoys a final night before the plunge, reminding themselves why they’re really fighting Sephiroth. My Tifa/Cloud ship is cruising.

FFVII – Part 67: Gods and Clods

Summary: We face the daunting Ultimate Weapon a few times, but lose track of her. The party then returns to Midgar. First through the sewers, then emerging to take down Gya-ha-ha and Kya-ha-ha… ahem, Heidegger and Scarlet – in the bizarrely named Proud Clod.

FFVII – Part 66: Diamonds and Rust

Summary: Diamond Weapon attacks. We stall it, and Shinra delivers a killing blow to both the Weapon and Sephiroth’s bubble. Cait Sith is revealed. Hojo works to destroy Sephiroth at the cost of Midgar, and at the behest of a party suspected but unknown. We’re off to save the city.

FFVII – Part 65: Pieces of You

Summary: The key unlocks a mechanism that reveals Aeris’s purpose in the Forgotten City. We leave for Midgar, but then a new Weapon emerges and marches towards the city.

FFVII – Part 64: Lost at Sea

Summary: A heaping helping of frustration as I search for the key. Many dead ends, but the search ultimately bears fruit.

FFVII – Part 63: Where the Sun Don’t Shine

Summary: A bit of world exploration to start, then a visit with Bugenhagen to the Forgotten Capital. Our next mission is to find White Materia. I need to find a key somewhere underground, where the sun doesn’t shine. The search doesn’t start well.

FFVII – Part 62: End Still Nigh

Summary: The rocket’s mission to destroy the meteor fails. The party escapes safely, thanks to Shera. We land safely back on the Planet and consult with Bugenhagen in Cosmo on our next steps.

FFVII – Part 61: Blast Off!

Summary: Finishing Wutai. Then the party arrives at Rocket Town, fights their way past Rude through the active rocket, and gets caught up in the launch. Cid's still (mostly) a dick.
