I followed his 4 and Tactics LPs which were interesting in part because I never played them before. 5 though... I really didn't like 5 at all so I skipped that one. Maybe I'd get back to it if I wasn't under a deluge of backlog from the other LPs I'm following. I'm not even to where the three characters converge at the Flame Champion's house / tomb in S3. I am following the Xen one but 90% of that one could be summed up in the first update. I'll have to find your HR LP though.

I know right?

It's like, "WHY AREN'T YOU CAREFULLY ANALYZING THE SITUATION WEIGHING YOUR OPTIONS PLANNING YOUR PROGRESSION AND ENACTING THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION WHILE KEEPING THE SCOPE AND GOALS OF THE GAME IN MIND???"
I know right? Is it really so much to ask?

I mean I know it actually is a lot to ask when you're playing FF Tactics or Breath of Fire 5. But come on: FF7?

There are only two battles in FF7 that you can actually lose, as long as you just heal every time you go below half HP or get inflicted with a status effect. One is the boss you fight when Yuffie steals all your materia, fine, I get it, all your abilities are gone, this is probably the hardest fight in the game. The other is Jenova-LIFE, who can wipe out a low-level team with water magic, but can't do it twice because you just got a water-absorbing armor from a treasure chest in the previous room, and you have to be ultra brain dead to not equip it after the first time you get killed. A lot of people are ultra brain dead though.

Carry Armor can be pretty tricky to a new player, no matter what the vets say.

If it opens up with two Lapis Lasers in a row against an unprepared party, you're done. Before your party even gets a turn.

Maybe if I post that long-overdue update you'll be able to find it easier. XD

That's not hard though. You just lose for no real reason, because the game said so.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I mean planning for battles is a type of difficulty in RPGs, not all the difficulty is mid-battle. Going in with no defense and no HP boosts and underleveled is poor planning.

I've never encountered the situation you're describing though, perhaps I was just lucky every time. Now I wanna look up Carry Armor's AI...


Lapis Laser

    Magical Attack

    Formula: Magical

    Pwr: 3 1/8x Base

    Tar: All Opponents

    Elm: Non-Element

    Notes: Sometimes used as a first attack before battle starts (33% chance)

Wow, you're not kidding. FANTASTIC BOSS DESIGN SQUARESOFT.
