Final Fantasy VII

Disc 3: Final Battle

Back to the End of the World

OK. Now that you have pretty much beat everything there is to beat, head back to the crater and descend to the bottom.

When I get to the screen at the bottom with the glowing green pool (where the party reunited) I like to use the item to create a save point.

After talking with your team, you’ll have to jump from time to time by pressing the accept or OK buttons.

Go in a spiral pattern around the outside left until you get to the center of the floating square thing.

Sephiroth will show up and get the group back together again, then you’ll have to split your party into three groups.

Since I spent so long leveling up Cloud, Yuffie, and Cid, I made them the party leaders. I had Cloud, Barret, and Cait Sith; Tifa, Red XIII, and Cid; and Yuffie and Vincent (the funniest match I could think of).

I made sure they had their best weapons, then divvied up my materia accordingly.

You’ll hear your people cheer you on, then you’ll fight.

One Knights of the Round and that was the end of it. He really is a pathetic wimp.

Next he changed form, so I used a to get another shot off, and used Knights of the Round twice. After another , I used Knights of the Round twice again.

He killed off my guys, so I had to bring them back, then use W-Summon Materia with Hades Materia and Phoenix Materia to get back into action.

That, oddly enough, killed him off.

All that to say, three good guys will waste him. You can use more if you want, but it won’t really change the outcome.

At the end of the battle, you’ll end up where I told you to make the save point.

Thankfully, Cloud goes all mental and we are saved from reality by the sheer lack of understanding that is thrust upon us.

At least we get a fun cut scene here.

Ah yes. Sun, moon, stars, synapsis. It all makes sense…

No actually, it doesn’t.

Let’s kick Sephiroth’s butt, shall we?

Omnislash the heck out of him, yah? 9999xD6!!!

Sorry. I had a bit of a Homestar Runner moment there.

End

Watch the pretty lights. You’ll get the LIFESTREAM lecture here.

I’m not sure what the heck is up with Aeris, to be honest. Cloud grabs Tifa and let’s get the heck out of here.

OK, I’m kidding. You can’t do anything here.

Just watch Cid curse and hang on for dear life. Various towns get nuked and you eventually see Meteor get repulsed. I think that’s Marlene’s eye’s view you’re watching. Then Midgar gets munched.

Eventually, you’ll see whatever it was that fell out of Aeris’ hair start to work its magic.

No wait, that’s the Lifestream.

OK. I give up. I don’t know what the heck is going on here.

I’m just in it for the money/fame/glory.

Yeah right. I wrote the whole frickin’ walkthrough and what, five people maybe will read it.

Heh heh.

That’s OK. I helped Cam. That’s all I really care about.

Oh. And maybe Lewis. If you actually got here, you rock, dude!
