A lil FF7 at lunch time on my RP2+ (lemmy.world)

Hardly retro hardware but now with the new version coming out it's definitely obsolete. Even so I'm still lovin my rp2+. Even my RP3+ hasn't been able to replace it.

Its a great form factor, is capable of emulating a bunch of decent systems, and functions as a general purpose android device.

FF7 is a game I never played back in the day even though the commercials are still burned into my brain.

While I'm not a huge Final Fantasy guy, I figured I owed it to myself to try and make my way through it. The prerendered scenery mixed with cool stylized polygonal characters is great.

Hope everyone is taking their daily recommended dose of pointless nostalgia gaming ;)

I'm in a similar situation. I never played FF7 when it came out but started working my way through it recently.

The game is enormous, almost intimidatingly big. But I think the hardest thing preventing me from really getting into it was the Materia system for weapons and items. I just can't seem to wrap my head around it! XD

Yeah I noticed that part too and just sort of randomly started equiping stuff. Usually I'm lost in RPGs so I'm just rolling with it.

Plenty of guides and walkthroughs out there explain everything in detail. The best ones even avoid spoiling stuff when they can. There's no shame in reading one when you're feeling lost.
