i have tried this, it does not fix the "kills" problem. when i loaded my savei in BC(newest version of FF7 released by square a few weeks ago) i had 30000 gil and roughly 120 kills with cloud(still no 2-1 limit) i set the gil to 50000 and clouds kills to 79 and loaded the save file. i set the gil to 50000 just as a check to see if the new version of BC worked with the new version of FF7. when i loaded the file in FF7, it showed the 50000 gil, so they do work together. but i killed 5 enemies with cloud and still hadn't unlocked the 2-1 limit break.

once again, not really a problem, just a bug i noticed

i just tested this in game and to unlock blade beam its 120 kills.
 
120 did it for me. which seems odd because i've always gotten it at 80 kills
 
I have been googling around and i found this info from "Final Fantasy VII: Limit Break Mechanics Guide":

Cloud Strife
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
120 kills made to learn Limit 2/1: Blade Beam

Small progress update. 1.9.7 NEEDS German / Japanese Language Update! (if you can help pm myself of vegeta_ss4).

New Dialog in 1.9.7: creates metadata.xml and achevements.dat if needed, or just edit exsisting metadata.xml if found.

Been done since 2 or 3 days after the new version came out... we are waiting on translations to release at this point.
 
Alright, either I'm doing something wrong, or I just don't know what the hell I'm doing. Alright well... I just currently bought FFVII and by reading the manual, I noticed that my saved files are in <User/(name)/documents/Square Enix/FFVII/user#>, so, I open my saved file and edit the things I wanted to edit...but here's the thing. I did my edits, saved it, and notice nothing changed in game. I tried again but this time I changed the amount of gil I had (within range). Saved it, and even put "save as" and it still did not work. I do not know if this has anything to do with the "metadata" I see in the folder but I can't seem to find away to make it so my saved game files change. Every time I attempt, it just goes back to when I previously saved it in the game itself. Any idea on how I can get what I want in this? If you need more information please let me know.

Are you using Black Chocobo v1.9.7 Pre-Release: [Removed at sithlord48's request, as 1.9.7 is now released. ~Covarr] ?
Black Chocobo v1.9.6 don't support the metadata data, you have to use this trick to make it work:

Made a account just to let everyone know that Black Chocobo does work with the FFVII that was just released as a digital download. What you have to do is launch the game and get it to the main menu where it says New Game/Continue. It will say Save Files have been synced in the top left. After it says that ALT+TAB out and start editing. When finished editing and saved bring the game back up and select   continue and load your save. Everything you changed should be changed.

open ff7 and start the game
at the main menu let it sync. hit continue
AFTER IT SYNCS switch windows to your desktop or something using the windows key or by having ff7 in a window like i have in the video. DO NOT CLOSE FF7
edit your save, switch in your old save, whatever save related thing youre doing do that now.
go back to ff7
load your save.
once its loaded save it.

Simply put, the problem was that every time I saved the settings I wanted, I never had the game open so the Metadata didint collect any data. Im assuming this anyways.....

On a side note.. I found a bug concerning materia for Cloud. At any point in the game, when you remove the Materia from Cloud's slots in the save editor, it seems that everytime he gets hit by physical attacks, it heals him. I dont see why it should.

UMM do you have any kinds of mods installed because this shouldn't be possible via the save. just to be sure i tested and it works just fine here
 
that sounds like cloud is absorbing physical elements... but why would that...
 
1.9.7 update.
    New: Locations will be automaticly translated to location names for the games region and no longer will be saved in the programs language.

for example if you are viewing a japanese region save in english and you select the location to "Beginner's Hall"  Black Chocobo will save "初心者の館" as the location name. it will remain displayed in english untill you do something to cause a full repaint of that tab. this only happens for locations you can select as they are the only ones currently with a translations done.

you should only have to reimport it to the ps3 from your psp. you should try the custom PSP Fw method in the FAQ
 
Every time I save a file with Black Chocobo 1.9.6 and start the game, the file gets deleted on game start. Even if BC is running. I have no clue why this is happening. please help. PC save file in my Square Enix folder. It is the new release of the game.
 
try editing the save while the game is running and you're in the "load a savegame" screen
 
tried that after it "downloading save file" i think it has to do with the metadata file timestamp not matching.
