I know I'm resurrecting a thread, but I didn't want to start a new one just for a video. This is a video I made showing the materia setup I devised to be able to defeat Ruby Weapon and Emerald Weapon. It is the only one I know of that features the defeat of both Ruby Weapon and Emerald Weapon in the same video under 10 minutes without any parts cut out.
My favorite FF is FF7, then FF8, then FF9, then FF6. I've played FF1 a little, never played 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, or 13.

This is the PC version of FF7. I have a custom OpenGL graphics driver, created by Aali, to give it higher resolution and a translucent battle menu.

I also have seifer's FF7 Retranslation Project version 001 installed. It retranslates things to make it accurate to the Japanese version.

None of these mods change the gameplay or difficulty in any way. Cloud, Ruby Weapon, and Emerald Weapon are exactly the same as the PSX and unmodified PC version.
