It's not cheating, it's using a bug that's intrinsic to FFVII: Vincent's Death Penalty weapon deals damage according to the number of enemies he's killed. When that number comes close to 65,535, the internal damage calculation overflows into negative numbers and the game sorta freaks out. It means insta-kill on any enemy, except Ruby who has super-high defense

that's from youtube (same video)
 
lol vincents death penalty and i have that vid on my favorites. the problem with vincents death penalty is i've completely given up on killing enemies lol.
 
@ Broken Heart

Well i am not really the wise man as far this game, but you said you were having easier time fighting Emerald. so why don't you concentrate on defeating it/him/her/whatever and then obtain the Master Materia set by exchanging whatever he drops with the kalm traveller. So that way you have the Master Summon which i presume will include KOTR and Master Command, which again will grant access to Mime, and then you can follow the countless strategies already suggested. I can't say much, I am still trying to defeat Weopon on  my relatively 65-70 levelled characters (with strength's 93,76,75 for my characters!!!! I know this is suicidal! but i managed to deplete around 6,00,000-7,00,000 of its HP therefore i am a little confident)  . Though somehow I too feel that EMERALD is a lot easier, cuz i dont have Mime and therefore am dependent a lot on limit breaks and EMERALD's low defense (RELATIVELY OK?) makes my job easier as i am more of a hack-n-slash player. I just hope that the their is no flaw in above strategy cuz that's how i hope to defeat the Ruby Weopon whose high defense irritate me a lot!!!)
 
actually that doesnt sound like a bad idea, i was thinking about doing that at first but.... idk i seem mroe focused on ruby because it just mocks me...lol but i'll try that and possibly give you some feed back, thanks for the help.
 
it was proven that the Ruby weapon is the hardest boss in videogame history...

Source?

I'll contest that.

Ruby WEAPON only took me a couple days to devise and carry out a strategy to defeat him with. That was without using the W-Item trick and reproducing Megalixirs.

The hardest boss that I've ever fought in my entire video game lifetime would have to be unlimited Universe Indalecio of Star Ocean: The Second Story. It took me damn near three years before I finally defeated him, no tricks involved. Indalecio has several million hit points and he knows all of the best spells, including a few of his own which are basically death sentences. Since Star Ocean 2 has a full-active battle system, you could actually avoid a lot of damage by running around, but Indalecio is just as fast as you are and his attacks have awesome range, and he can cast spells while moving (nothing else in the game can), so... I eventually just buckled down and leveled my entire party up a few dozen levels.

That was probably one of the few occasions in which I impressed myself while playing video games.

Even harder is Tales of Phantasia (PSX version) on its hard mode...I can't even make any progress. At least with Star Ocean 2 you could customize yourself a pretty fancy weapon early on, but man, Tales of Phantasia absolutely kicks my ass on hard mode. Couple that with the fact that I don't read Japanese and you've got yourself a very difficult RPG.

And I know I'm barely scratching the surface here. There are far harder RPGs than Final Fantasy VII (I think we all knew that, though...) and thus far harder bosses than Ruby WEAPON.
 
lol it depends who you are and how you play the game bosses are harder depending on strategy. I think out of a lot of bosses Ruby is one of the hardest.

Yeah ruby is at least one of the hardest FF bosses. No dubt the hardest FFVII boss. I still haven't beaten the hardest ones after FFVIII though... The one I spent the longest time on beating however was the ones in FFV.

Btw u got a Gold choc yet?
 
@zero88
well, i recall seeing on 'when videogames attack' that they were looking at the top 10 hardest bosses in videogame history, and he was ranked at number 1, but i don't listen to middle aged men who only play games all day, and that little unlimited Universe Indalecio was no problem as strageties are actually needed and can be performed in a enviroment such as that, however, ff7 on the other hand, is basically turn base, not much you can do to evade damage and block blows, so i second Malach!'s opinion about the ruby weapon as the hardest boss in video game history. (or penance from ffX as it's such a long fight and he has quite a bit of power)
 
Actually even though its turn based, it depends what type of materia you have equiped! Thats the strategy, and Ruby is easily one of the hardest bosses in game history.
 
and emriald can be easy or hard depending on how many materia you have equiped (not sure if it's in total or what)
 
Thats true, but normally once you have that figured out, you equip certain amounts of materia to each person.
 
I'm not going to get a gold chocobo. I'm gonna beat ruby.

I know that wasn't the subject, bur really, getting a Gold Chock isn't hard at all. Just requires some patience. You probably read this but heres a "perfect" guide.
 
well, heres the thing, no luck wi9th chocobos, aint gonna happen, i dont use guides unless i really need to and i dont need to. I have patience but after 9 or 10 years of trying i've completely given up i couldnt do that since i was 5 or 6 and its not gonna happen now :P. So i'm gonna beat emerald and then i'm gonna beat Ruby.
 
Alright! It's not up to me. But I eagerly await the day you'll hit your forehead with your palm, sighing hard while realising how easy it really was lol. Good luck with the Weapons!!
 
I doubt I'll do that, Emerald is easy though, it just depends on who i have in my party. Ruby is the problem and i just cant win still >.<
 
Ruby is quite, quite simple, if you do a bit of preparation. There's a monster near the Forgotten Capital that you can steal 'Dazers' from - they inflict Paralyze status, which Ruby can be affected by. Grab a bunch of them, then paralyze the heck out of him. It's fine to revive your other two chars after the beginning of the battle.
 
I used dazers I have 99 of them...and If i revive them they get sucked into the whirl pool even if Ruby has its claw things in the ground. lol
 
That's never happened to me (I beat Ruby as soon as I could, with no 'legendary materia')

All I had to do was Dazers, Phoenix, Dazers, (two people cast big damage spells), Dazers, etc...
Emerald was much tougher. I actually needed 'Underwater' :)
