I figured that by being on my break I'd be a bit more active around here but It seems I'm more motivated to post when I'm between classes at uni. It's been a while since I've posted something so this is to show that I'm still around.

I haven't done a whole lot recently and If I did I've forgotten about it by now. My girlfriend's parents asked if I could mow their lawns every two weeks as her dad is unable to do it as he's on some kind of medication for the next while. I get paid $30 (in NZ money) to do about an hour and a half to two hours work so I'm not complaining. It covers credit for my phone etc. I did them yesterday morning and pulled something in my shoulders trying to start the stupid thing. I was pulling on the cord for about 5 mins to no avail and ended up having to tip the mower on it's front and dig out all the dead grass that had jammed the blade. It started after a couple more tries after that and some time after that I got an extra $30. So yeah that's my boring lawn mower story.

Uh in terms of gaming I beat Zeromus on Final Fantasy IV and started over on New Game+. Cecil has Counter which carried over from my previous file which makes every battle a few turns quicker. Oh and Kain had Level Lust which gives you an extra 50% exp after every battle which meant I leveled up a lot quicker while he's with you for the first few battles. I'm on my way to a mountain of some kind who's name escapes me. The one where Rydia needs to use Fire on a piece of ice that's blocking the path.

Seeing as Final Fantasy VII was one of the few games that wasn't affected by my PS2 memory card erasing itself I decided to continue from where I had left off a few months ago. To keep it short I've just got the Highwind on the 2nd disk, dug up the Buntline for Vincent at the Bone Village, got the Kjata Summon Materia at the Sleeping Forest and just got my third E-Skill Materia from the Chocobo Sage and I'm currently going around and learning whatever skills I missed out on now that I have both the Manipulate Materia and the Hypnocrown which raises the chance of it working.

Before Cloud left my party was: Cloud (duh), Cid and Vincent and Now Tifa has replaced Cloud and they range from Level 50 to 44. I feel like making a list of their Materia, and so I will. The *'s will represent each ones level and the - shows what's on their weapons and armor.

Tifa has what was given to Cloud:
Barrier **
Long Range *
Lightning **** paired with All ****
Enemy Skill
-
Steal *
Sense *
Mystify * paired with Added Effect *
Manipulate *

Her E-Skills are: L4 Suicide, Big Guard, Death Force, Flame Thrower, Matra Magic, Bad Breath, Aqualung, Trine, Magic Breath and Death Sentence.

Cid has whatever could be useful. As I'm trying to get him to learn all his Limit Breaks up to level 4 he has Counter and Cover for the time being.
Cover * (he mastered his original one)
Counter Attack ***
Fire **** (mastered) paired with Mp Absorb * just 'cus
Restore ****
-
Shiva **** paired with Elemental **
Revive * paired with All ****
Enemy Skill

His E-Skills are: L4 Suicide, Big Guard, Death Force, Bad Breath, Aqualung and Magic Breath. His weapon has double materia growth.

As Vincent is the best White Mage, after Aerith:
Restore **** paired with mastered All
Time ** paired with All ***
-
Heal ** paired with All *
Destruct ***
Ice ***
Bahamut *
Enemy Skill
He's just obtained his E-Skill so he has yet to learn anything. His weapon also has double materia growth.

Overall my Materia's a bit jumbled, I'm just waiting until I can get some better ones nearer the end but overall my current setup has no problems. Of course if you have any comments or improvements I'll be happy to listen. I'm also thinking of going back to the Bone Village to buy some double growth armor.

In terms of Limit Breaks, Cloud had all except for his final one, Barret has his first Level 3 and below, Tifa has WaterKick and below, Cid has Dragon and below, Vincent has Galian Beast and Death Gigas and everyone else has just their Level onesies. I'm currently getting Cid to learn all his Limits before I move onto Barret as they are the closest to learning them all.

That looks like all for now, thanks for reading and i'll see you around the forums.
