Do you mean, that you want Emerald to throw Demi back at the party, using reflect? Doesn't seem like it can be reflected in FF7 (or perhaps just NT).

... I forgot about that.

It definitely needs to do something to counter Demi if it keeps its gravity vulnerability, though. The damage dealt by quadded demi is ridiculous.
 
If you think that damage is stupid. Try a suped-up Cloud, with 4x-cut and numerous counters. With his damage buffed even further by Lighting-elemental in his weapon, lucky pill and yellow wave. :D
 
The original default emerald weapon actually has no resistance to Gravity either; but that's countered slightly by it's 800,000HP pool. For this build, Emerald has more HP than before at 280,000 but it's still not likely enough to guard against W'd quadded Demi so I'll make him resistant to that element and lower his Magic Defence a little to compensate.

How useful is Demi in general?

It feels like this kind of magic (or statuses and such) are always useless in most games because the only enemies you should use them against are inmune to them.
 
You'll find plenty of uses for it here; most enemies don't resist it, and flying/airborne enemies take 2x damage from it meaning they can be killed by Demi2 or higher. Morph tables were changed too so you can get yourself some decent gear earlier on, which Demi helps with.
 
I'd heartily recommend the hardcore mod; so long as you approach it with a survival mentality, it can be very rewarding. I'd recommend grabbing Barret and then spending some time fighting the enemies on the catwalk outside the Reactor as they have a good drop rate for potions and ethers. Once you're able to keep a stable stock of 10 or so potions (you'll be using some to heal) and are up to about Lv.6-7 you'll be ready to tackle El Scorpio.

Yeah, NT has undergone a lot of overhauls. It's nice to see that the Dual-Drain build still lives on in infamy.

I'm re-buffing Comet2 for the new build, I'd made it useless next to actual Comet. It'll be back to 6-shots, and a rise in base power.

Emerald and Ruby are still fairly easy as 'super'-bosses go even in this new build, might be more apt to call them mid-bosses. I could soup them up a bit if people fancy.

Yeah I think Ruby and Emerald should be souped up A LOT they are meant to be super bosses.

Nice.
 
Question(s) about Fort Condor: Are there prizes / items to be won from playing and winning the mini-game now? I was on auto-pilot and just waited to lose, and defeat monster, to gain the huge materia during the story as I don't recall there ever being anything of worth to win back in Vanilla. I doubt I would/will spend any significant time at the mini-game but if there are some valuable goodies that would be handy info. Thanks in advance! -Web
 
I revised all the prizes, and there's a special prize if you manage to clear the Fort Condor sideline without letting Shinra win a single time (they have 15000gil to start, to cover battles that can't be accessed, and a new NPC appears in certain places to let you fast-travel to and from Condor).
 
Sega Chief,

I started a new run for the first time and I guess I had a controller fix mod installed so some of the patch did not apply successfully.  Originally I couldn't access the rank up menu.  I ended up reinstalling and repatching at the train graveyard save point.  I read somewhere the first rank up is around here or the pillar but I've made it to the shinra HQ save without being able to rank up so far.  I can access the menu now just fine.

Did I miss the points previous to the train GY because of the bad install?  Should I worry about being under powered later because of not being able to rank up yet?

Tried to search on here and insanedifficulty but couldn't find anything after putting in some effort. Thanks for your help and enjoying this greatly so far.  The 2nd scorp and chocobo commander both surprised me and made me laugh my ass off.  And the 2nd reactor button scene which i failed of course ;-)
 
:-( Dont know if im to late cause your one download link for version 1.35 from media fire is broken - is v1.3 that different? that one works on the insane difficulty site - but id rather get this one - very intrested in trying your mod
 
You might as well wait for 1.4, OSACHIE. It's due any day now, with numerous major changes from 1.35 (and by extension, 1.3). :)
 
Thank you for the info - be much better,Cant Wait - also i downloaded the Ultimate Pc version, then noticed i got wrong one and got the unmodified version (original 1998),so id be all good but did it matter? what is ultima edition? and does it work with this mod?

You'll be fine, if you want to reclaim missing points then sending characters into Battle Square can nab you some extra. You'll just be hitting ranks a little later than normal.

The ultima edition is a modified 1998 Original with some dodgy hacks installed into it. When modding, it's always best to use either the steam or original 1998 version.

Update: Been sick since yesterday but I managed to fine-tune the SP AI and all I have to do is copy-paste that into each enemy. Then we're good to go.

Did you BUY the game? We have a rule at this site about not helping with pirated copies.
 
True ff7 fans must have mint ff7 disks, multiple isos to keep the disks mint, the square and the steam versions, just to be sure if one shuts down.

Edit
BTW, if you need an ER nurse I can always take a flight there just to be sure 1.4 sees the light... Don't want hundreds of fans to start having heart attacks and flood my hospital.
