Very very randomly remembered something from years and years back. Thought I could finally put something to bed so appealing to the FF7 community! Because there is such a thing now!

Okay, so back in the day (late 90s) I borrowed FF7. Friend of mine told me it had an incredible story and he wasn't joking - I remember it being captivating. I also eventually remember getting really stuck on some part and ultimately put the game down and never picked it up again. Strange to think that was over 26 years ago!

Was younger then (as you might imagine) but a rather old man nowadays. But I somehow still remembered this part. Please bear with me though through hazy memories:

There's a part where the party find a castle which has an upside down castle on top of it. I think someone goes in there or something, or they need something from inside.

One of the characters (I can legitimately remember I called him "The Flaming Beavis") - I think had red hair, found him fairly arrogant says something vaguely along the lines of "I'll go in and get them/find this thing by myself" - because I had something of a dislike to him I let him go in alone. Then we have to wait and wait as he doesn't emerge, and then eventually it's decided to go in and look for him.

Going back into the "double castle" then seemed to trigger just endless enemy encounters. Had no idea where to look but I knew if I kept walking around there'd just be encounters over and over and over again. It sapped the life out of the game and I put it down.

To this day cursing that decision!

If any passing lore-masters see this and have a little while to tell me the following (and provided I've made any sense at all here ofc) I'd be immensely grateful!

(Maybe also make it light on spoilers just in case I want to try the game out one day again! I mean, I'm straight up asking for some, but hopefully you see what I mean if I'm at risk of ruining things for myself!)

1 - Should I have let him go alone?

2 - Where THE FUCK is he?

3 - What happens following?

Apologies in advance for the wildly random post! I was just reminded of this this morning and thought I'd type it all out and see what happened.

Thanks everyone for reading this. :)

Just had a memory of this and cannot remember much about it at all. I recall very little about it (disappointingly) but one part of an episode stuck with me. The group who are the focus of the fantasy series are in a cave with a pool of water and there are gold statues of people in the water. Someone is cautioned about reaching in by (I think) one of the older members of the group and someone else dips a shell into the water, and the submerged part is instantly turned to gold - the "statues" were obviously people who'd at some point fallen in. I found this very sinister indeed.

I think it may have been British but I'm not sure.

I don't think it was specifically a kids' series, episodes may have aired evenings at weekends.

I'm not sure if it was set in England or even in one place, part of me thinks medieval and dragons and another part of me things Greek/Roman era but I really can't remember.

Anyone who can tell me what this is will make me very happy. :)
