Hi,

For a thousand times, i decide to play FF7 OG, so i bought it on my PS5 Pro.

I know that the PS4 version have some issues with BGM but apart from that...

I have actually encounter three bugs in less that 15 hours of playing.

1. A crash after exiting the mine of mithril(just after the zolom)

2.Just before the encounter of JENOVA during the boat event, all my characters have the limit permanently full, same for the HP and MP. I'm basically a God 😅

3. After trying the Gbike game at the Gold Saucer. The game speed have increase to x4. I don't know how to fix that...

I’m breeding a great male with a great female have gotten a green female, am trying to get a blue male. I’ve done the 10 battles and won 4 races beforehand but every single time i mate I get a green male. It’s been atleast 20 reloads and it’s always green male.

WTF else do I need to do to randomize the offspring?

Edit: waiting outside the barn near the paddock for a few minutes forced the seed to change and I was able to get the chocobo I needed for my black then gold

I kind of miss gaming from back in the day, the game kind of expected you to spend a ridiculous amount of time trial and erroring different combos of completely RNG stuff to unlock amazing things. At most you had the Prima strategy guide to help out. We had the internet but people weren’t making as in depth breakdowns as they do today and even when they did it was harder to find if you didn’t know where to look already

I feel like there are so many people that just like to rip and tear about the remakes, and then go on and on about how they're the worst games to ever exist, and that it's inferior to the original, and therefore it also sucks as a game on its own.

I've played both remakes, and I think both of them are really decent experiences, sure they have issues, but it doesn't take away much of the experience for both.

It feels hard to like something if a majority just wants to see it burn like >!nibilheim!<. I just felt like I needed to say this because of how many people talk trash about the remakes, you don't have to agree, but that's fine.

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. :)
