Finally got my copy delivered on Saturday - Brand new and still in cellophane!

W. O. W.

I remember this as being one of the greatest games of all time, but I don't remember it being THIS great! I truly am blown away by, yes, a PSOne game. It is now my favourite game of the moment and I'll definately not be getting rid of this baby again!

If you no longer own this, or have never played it, I strongly suggest you get hold of a copy - you won't be disappointed (unless last-gen graphics are a problem to you).

I'm only up to the bit where Shinra are trying to bring the plate down over Sector 7, but I can safely say I won't be on Live or PS2 Online for a while yet!

By the time I've finished this, I'll have Crystal Chronicles to get through too...

Anyhoo, please post your views/memories etc. of this game on here so I can see how many of you feel the same as me about this gem of a game.

I hope it is remade like the rumours say...

Well, I suppose the satisfaction of beating the hardest monster in the game counts for something though...

Rats - I remember collecting quite a few things that I just ignored. I never took anything back to him. I forgot all about him.

Ruby is there as the quick way to get a gold chocobo however it's the hard way. Breeding is there as the longest way to get a gold chocobo but also the easiest.

You have the option to do it the way you want

I know you can breed a gold chocobo, that's the main way.

And how do you kill Ruby Weapon? With KOTR. And how do you get KOTR? A gold chocobo....

To get the gold chocobo off him you need to get the "Desert Rose". Sounds easy enough until you ask someone how to get it. You can only aquire the Desert Rose by DEFEATING RUBY WEAPON!

Strategies like using mime materia. Basically trying to get every turn onto KOTR.

You go down in the submarine under the water and go into the underwater reactor - it's on the bottom of the sea somewhere. In there you fight Ghost Ships (I remember fighting them in a long tunnel, where you can see the sea overhead) - you have to use morph and morph one into a Guide Book.

Then take the book to a man in Kalm town (I think that's wat it's called - the 1st village you come to outside Midgar) He's upstairs in a house - he'll give you the Underwater Materia.

You can also get a Gold chocobo off him, and a few other things - but I can't remember how.
