hi all,
****
i posted this in the PSone/PS2 forum, but seeing as people from this forum won't neccessarily visit the PS2 forum (and that FF7 is generally considered a classic) i thought i'd post it here too :)
****
Ok, so pretty much everyone who's played FF7 knows of the 4 million romoured ways to revive Aeris, despite each and every single one of them being a massive lie... or are they??
apparantly, the first 500 - 1000 (or thereabouts) shipped copies of the translated version of FF7 contained code (intentional or otherwise) that allowed Aeris to return at the Great Crater. There are several locations where you can see a flickering "ghost" of Aeris (like the church in midgar where you first meet her). If you visit them all then when you're in the Great Crater, when you auto-jump across the stome platforms to get the mega-all (i think) materia,if you hit X on the platform that you usually auto-jump straight off, you can stay on it. walk towards the green mako/lifestream "waterfall" in the background and Aeris will reappear and rejoin the party.. the only catch is you can't take her back OUT of the north crater.
Now, i'f i'd just read all that i'd be thinking "bah, sounds like too much work for what's probably a hoax", which is probably what you're thinking right now.. fair enough! :)
but here's the thing, it's absolutely true. i was reluctant to believe it when a mate told me he'd done it (he's an ff nut who bought 7 as soon as it was out), but yesterday i saw it with my own eyes; Aeris, in the Great Crater, in PHS and battle sequences, at level 95.
Of course there's no reason to believe me, but as soon as i can figure out a way of grabbing a Playstation greenshot onto my PC i'll upload one (at which of course, most people will scream "PHOTOSHOP!", there really is no convincing some people ;) , unless i can grab some video from the playstation.. hmmm.... ), or, if you're trusting enough, send me your memory card and i'll copy the game on for you (and no, this isn't an elaborate scam to get a load of memory cards, nor do i actually expect anyone to care enough to send one, but if that's what it takes.... :) )
so there you have it! it is indeed possible, but only on a rare amount of the games apparantly.
maybe it's the same kind of reason that means no matter how hard i try, the "turltes paradise" flyers thing never works for me :)
make of this information what you will, and if i find out that any of the details i gave on how to do it are incorrect, i'll correct them straight away (i have to recheck with my mate).
so yeah, it's possible!

rpg save games are usually simple files that declare values for a bunch of variables to get the game up to your saved standard.
if the variable for aeris being in the party was positive then she'd appear in the party, it wouldn't make much difference to the gamestate. it's just that the event to change the variable to a positive isn't available in the early games.

Wont be in the Cinema its should be on DVD and its a launch DVD disk thing for PSP apparently.
I think it may be released in the cinema, but towards the end of the the year over here according to imdb, and they're pretty accurate. cloud and sephiroth definately in it as they have a cool sword battle a la FF VIII intro, although i'm thinking it may be a 'this is what happened before' intro scene as sephiroth sould be dead?!? - positive i've killed him many a time finishing that one!

Well as it's a continuation of 7 i would expect cloud and sephiroth to be featured, well actually i know they are because i had the poster as my desktop.
> Is'nt it getting released in the summer?
I thought only on dvd.

What's the chances of it being released in the cinema, i cant see it, although with the ammount of people who love the game it could probably scrape into the top ten.
I will watch it when it comes out.
