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!

7 Years, 7 BLOODY YEARS !!! and this argument is still going.
Definately a cheat then!
ah but his inventory goes like this.
potion-99
grenade-99
megalixer-99
megalixer-99
megalixer-99
potion-99
grenade-99
megalixer-99
megalixer-99
megalixer-99
There is a way to get 99 of every item without cheating -think its a bug in the game. If you use double item materia, (can't remember exactly, been a while since i've played FF VII), select the first item, then when you selct the second, cancel the action, and you gain an item each time. Goes something like that?
ah yes... i think you're right about the megalixirs, 99 is the max but he has a cheat thing to get loads.
hmmmm indeed... i'll kick him in the nuts!
it is odd that she can't leave the crater though... seems like a pointless cheat to me

whats does mmmm, mean?
Hmmmm.
Hey Very-Metal.
Got my memory card back, thanks very much.
Looks suspicious if you ask me.
I think he has used gameshark.
I'll point a few things out for you to try and answer,
The linit breaks, 4th level ones are still in inventory.
hes got about 185 megalixers, i thought you could only store 99 of each item.
every master materia would have to be mastered about 20 times.
please reply with answers.
you're right on one thing, she is not aloud out of north crater
and final battles.
