A possible solution for your P.S. format fix Jumza:



Now all you need to do is do as Kaijyuu said, right?:

The game is preserved on the internets, where you can download a copy and continue to play as you like.



Here's hoping that it is direct plug-n-play right?!  (like the Shadowgun)  If not then you can just tweak a couple things and it should be fine.

If this is not your style you could always go with the tablet and have Touch Tactics!  furthermore if you play WotL there is no hardware slow down. 

With Ice Cream Sandwich(android) coming soon for this (it is suppose to have native active pen support) and hopefully Photoshop, you could touch up some sprites with a stylus.  

Personally though, the thought of hooking this up to the Big Screen via HTMI has me........drool* drool* drool*    :o

New Project Ideas / Re: Final Fantasy VII Project
December 04, 2011, 02:51:10 am
-The script is cool :D, I had some background ideas that you guys might like...
-I have only played FFVII, so everything else is hearsay from other people.
-There might be more content than you want to read in one sitting, but I would rather give you guys something to work with.  :oops:
-Maybe in a year or two I'll have more time, but like most on this site I am not willing to commit.  I'll check every so often and help when I can.
-Oh and Mako is liquid and Materia is solid FYI (helps to know that when reading below)

Zack and Cloud

Given that Cloud is off with the whole FFT crew, the only other person that I think could ever replace Cloud is Zack.

Due to Cloud thinking he was Zack, or reworded Cloud replacing Zack - "My honor.. My dreams.. They're yours now. You'll be.. My living legacy. " (got that off the Final Fantasy wikia)
So maybe Zack could be the one leading this FF7 bunch in FFT spin-off.

The point is to try and have both universes intermingle

In response to RavenOfRagriz posts

There is another point in time when Cloud is exposed Mako and at the same time Zack is right next to him as well.  In fact these two are in Mako cells' of Hojo for four years.  Then somehow Zack comes to and breaks out of confinement while helping "...a comatose Cloud escape,".  Now why did Zack become conscience and bust out?  We know Cloud reacts poorly to Mako, then why would that not also apply to Zack/Tifa?  If you can hint at it being related to motion sickness:
Quotefrom finalfantasy.wikia.com
"Like Yuffie Kisaragi, Cloud also suffers from motion sickness, and has even given her advice on how to handle it while aboard the Highwind. It is seemingly cured during the period when Cloud upholds his fake SOLDIER persona, but returns when his true self is restored, although his ability to ride the Fenrir on delivery business suggests his motion sickness has somewhat improved."


Then Zack waking up in the Mako cell would not be that absurd.  (plus in the life stream, Tifa didn't show any problems.)  Especially if he had been somewhere in his mind *like sephiroth controlling his clone, Cloud and others...

Now Zack was not mentally effected by the SOLDIER procedure (using Jenova cells and Mako energy from the planet) and nor was Tifa when in the Lifestream.  This was probably due to Both Zack and Tifa being somewhat in physical and mental fitness; given that, people exposed to SOLDIER procedure and were not in "fitness" tended to not keep their egos' and become shades of Jenova (FF7wiki).  So Cloud was a 3rd rank SOLDIER and he did not react well to the SOLDIER process/Mako energy.  Especially being in Hojo's Mako cell and then still being messed up a year later (Tifa asking Cloud to join AVALANCE).  Did this have to do with Cloud not having physical/mental fitness, was it b/c motion sickness or both?

Why is this moment so important in time?  Well it is close to when Zack was in his prime or He is in his prime.  Depending on whether you think he improved since his fight with Sephiroth in the Mako reactor on mount Nibel, versus then hauling a Mako withdrawal/poisioned Cloud around for a year with Shinra chasing them.  He did have more Mako exposure and Jenova's cells put into him, so this could have lead to the idea of him being better.  

So if Zack had a similar experience like that of Tifa and Cloud being in the Lifestream: specifically when Cloud finds the real him and Tifa makes the decision to go out of the Lifestream (up) and back to their friends.  Zack could have had a similar realization and wake up and get out.  



Therefore, allowing you guys to have Zack join your FFT universe and go back to the FFVII timeline with both universes intermingled but now still uninterrupted.  

Zack would have a similar experience to Cloud and Tifa running around in Cloud's head while in the Lifestream, only Zack would be in FFT.  I assume these Mako exposures and Lifestream events are similar to dreams and thus might be somewhat vague in recalling the FFT trip, hence Zack being reluctant to talk about it but still valuing Cloud's friendship enough not to give up trying to protect him.  

Cloud on almost every exposure to Mako or Lifestream has always left him messed up.  So why is his experience in FFT a little better than comatose?  In the above quote it talks about him riding the Fenrir and "...suggests his motion sickness has somewhat improved."  Maybe this is why he's not acting like he is extremely jet lagged on fourth experience but just doesn't really remember much (again with the vagueness).  His experiences being first when recruited (getting the Mako eyes), second in the Hojo's Mako cell and third/fourth Lifestream event RavenOfRariz mentioned.

This gives us a plot device we can use to heal the "damaged" Cloud, allows us to have Aeris in the game without messing with FFVII-canon

As always this kind of info should be hinted at versus just flat out saying it.  



yeah sure we like the idea of Zack, but now what do we do with him?


Like Cloud Zack could have his limits be his abilities, so in Crisis Core Zack has the following limits:


Yet I find he still used the Buster sword in another video game.  Zack in Ehrgeiz has the Meteor Shower, High Braver, True Cross-slash, and Unseen Omnislash ablilities...(limit?)  but as you can see in this video they both seem to be using the Buster sword.



Realistically this should not happen; however, there are only two reasons to have two Buster swords: to see who is the better Buster sword wielder or two Buster swords versus Masamune Blade.  
Cloud and Zack used other weapons during their life so that is something I'll explore in detail below.  

In Advent Children I heard Cloud uses a Fusion sword that has six different swords and when combined they make a sword similar to the Buster sword.  Some people might not like A.C. and be against it, but there is always his Materia blade that FFT had for him.  
Some people might push for any other broadsword from FF7, even though I don't like that idea b/c there are just too many of them= too much work.  Furthermore, the idea of having Ultimate weapons could be valid idea and maybe their abilities (idk about Barret tho).

Ok so does that help Zack get in the game....what about others...


Sephrioth

Sephrioth could have prompted Hojo to make the Jenova clones and expose them to Mako.  If Sephrioth could have prompted that, then he could have also prompted Hojo to put Cloud and Zack in the Mako baths for four years.  Then this leads to the idea that Sephiroth could have intended to meet them in another world (or maybe he didn't want them there but Zack found a way into FFT universe anyway).  Thus being the Villain for FFT universe if that is something you wanted.  But what would he want in FFT universe?  At first he could have confused it with the Promise Land...  


All of the above could be used and then explained that Cloud was the only one that could Kill/stop Sephiroth, so he tried to do something to him (e.g. kill him, manipulated him, confuse him to achieve Sephiroth goal) like he tried to do with Aeris.  Now the flower girl is in FFT universe and maybe she has another white material, maybe not.  Idk depends on how you want the story to unfold.  Did Sephiroth try to send Cloud away to FFT universe for him to be a pawn or to put him in the Lifestream to mess up again (why did Cloud wound up in Mideel?).  Cause Sephiroth like controlling people to do his dirty work and not having to be there (his look-alike clone, surrogate).  I don't know if I am right about this but the surrogate Clone and Cloud were the only ones that managed to be stable surrogates that Sephiroth could control without them being deformed (other had to wear a cloak to be in public).  Not to mention the look-alike clone would cause too much commotion.  Although this is someone's opinion, see this for reference: http://www.ff7citadel.com/efiction/viewstory.php?sid=87

Zack may eventually meet the future Cloud and learn that he is planning to stop/kill Sephiroth and the Meteor.  This could lead to the explanation why Zack was so willing to protect Cloud and even be willing to risk his life trying.  Furthermore, Cloud may not be able to remember everything, so that secret scene with him and Zack may not be able to be recalled.  However, I am sure the rest of the FF7 cast would confirm that they are planning to stop Sephiroth in the depths Northern cave.  Only Cloud knows what happened after the Mount Nibel incident, and Tifa doesn't know unless you trigger that scene with her.  Besides she has kept quiet about stuff before that was about the past, that could mess people up if she told her version of the story--hence not wanting to tell Zack what happens outside of Midgar. 

Another argument could be made at this point if anybody still trusts Cloud since he just fell into the Lifestream just moments after giving the Black Materia to Sephiroth.  Why did Cloud arrive in FFT before everyone else?  Which Cloud is in FFT: the young Cloud who is next to Zack, the Cloud that fell into the Lifestream at North Crater, or the Cloud that fell in to the Lifestream with Tifa in Mideel?

Cloud gets into a Mako/Lifestream (liquid) and Sephiroth has been in Mako since (I assume) Cloud put him in the Mako in the Mako reactor.  That also happened to be the time that Zack and Cloud were put into the Mako baths by Hojo/Shinra.  How did the EX-SOLDIERs heal from all their battle wounds?  If Cloud can go from North Crater/Northern Cave to Mideel, then Sephiroth should be able to go from Mount Nibel to North Crater/Northern Cave, right?  If not, then how did they get to where they were?(another unexplained event that could be used)  This quote from ff7citadel.com helps support ideas above:
Sephiroth - "I became a traveller of the Lifestream and gained the knowledge and wisdom of the Ancients. I also gained the knowledge and wisdom of those after the extinction of the Ancients. And soon, I will create the future."

     So Sephiroth's powers are explained... but what is his plan?

     Sephiroth - "By merging with all the energy of the Planet, I will become a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet... I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every soul."

How could FFT universe be used in Sephiroth plans...that is all up to you guys

FYI Difference Sephiroth vs SOLDIER      
The difference Sephiroth and the SOLDIER process is Septhiroth had Jenova cells injected into him when he was a fetus.  Then like mentioned above is he in the Lifestream for at least 5 years.  Versus a SOLDIER who has had a Mako bath and Jenova cells injected into them during their teen years or in their twenties. (finalfantasy.wikia.com helped confirm this for me)





You need plot points from the FF7 universe and FFT game to be used as gateways or somehow intermingle the two together in someway.  Or in other words, you are going to tell a story that explains some of the previously unexplained parts of these games--fill the gaps.         Just remember who's game this is and not to make money part of it.  I find it funny how many people request a FF7 remake, or FF7 content, etc.  U could do this as a way to try and Help Squaresoft to make a game on this...an appeal...maybe?
