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!

don't you see see how that is arrogant, presumptuous and flat-out rude?
you may not like the way i responded to you mate but i found you equally disagreeable in the first place or i wouldn't have done it. the one thing i can't stand is rude people who use a condescending manner for no good reason, when that happens i can be just as condescending.

and you think calling strangers "morons" and talking down to them IS a good way to live your life?
"arguing on the internet is a little like the special olypics; even if you win, you're still retarded" so on those grounds, i concede to you.

Some people are overly ignorant. For this reason I couldn't even be bothered contributing any further.
You are a pontificating, patronising gimp, Very Metal.
Don't you see saying such nonsense as "if you could wade through the original post" is conceited bullsh*t???
Please don't live the rest of your life this way.
Actually, do, waste your life, you fool.

can't you do somethng similar in Shenmue??
i'm sure it was mentioned on this forum not long ago as someone was making a point about levelling characters up...

why would a mirror turn up that kind revelation?

it's called testing the waters, market research, product viability testing, whatever you will.
yes i DO know a thing or do about the games industry, and this is no different to a music single getting a re-release, or are you going to claim that that never happens as well?

if you'd managed to wade through all the big words in the original post, you'd see that i point out that doing it this way results in aeris rejoining you in the crater ONLY (therefore not being with you at the end of the game), whereas the cheat cartridge allows you to use her anywhere in the game.
and AGAIN (because it seems you're really struggling with this concept) i never claimed this was in any way definitive proof, simply that i personally have seen (and now have) the save file in question, some simple research revealed that the mini test release was indeed true and i believe my mate. as i pointed out, lying about games to appear cool may be something children do, but at 24 we have other matters to attend to, something you'll learn when your nuts drop.
i have no interest in arguing the point with you as unless you can obtain one of the early releases and follow the instructions step by step then you can't legitimately test this method and as you're clearly not prepared to accept the possibility there's little point in trying is there?

Ravenous if I told you I had a copy of FFX where after you complete it you can start the game again with all your current stats would you beleive me?
