#1 - In Which Nobody Cares
Some refer to it as Final Fantasy VII. People who hate Roman numerals go with Final Fantasy 7. Fans of brevity stick to FFVII or FF7. Me? I call it all of these things, and if you're reading this after surfing on in from Google, you'll see …

#2 - In Which the Fair Labour Standards Act is (Repeatedly) Flaunted
Midgar is an odd city, in that most of it is on a plate suspended fifty meters above the ground. A central column supports it all, while eight other columns around the outside support each of the eight sections (which are divided like a piz…

#3 - In which... damn it, Jessie!
One Mako reactor down, seven left to go. Cloud has signed up for the next bombing mission but all this blowing stuff up has got him tuckered out - he sleeps for the night before meeting the guys back in the bar.

#4 - In Which It's Nobody's Business but the Turks
Picking up from last time, Cloud falls like a sack of dead kittens from the upper plate of Midgar to the slums below. This is not going to end well. But of course, this was a scripted event. Cloud isn't going to die since he's the main prot…

#5 - In Which We Got Bitchez and Hos
So I was caught red handed trying to sneak out of a girl's house, and now she's giving me grief about it. The crazy thing is I didn't even manage to get my character laid. Totes unfair. As part of Aeris' continued and unrelenting mission to…

#6 - In Which Midgar's Hapless Residents are in Peril
Today's Final Fantasy instalment was brought to you by the charming folks at MMOABC, who kindly donated ten bucks to our Child's Play charity fundraiser! You know, that thing I keep harping on about. On to today's post! --------------------…

#8 - In Which Eugenics are All the Rage
We get past all that and see a cut scene of a guard sleeping in the security monitor room as we prance around on the screens over his shoulder. We're in a room in which the guards take it in turns to look the other way while we advance and …

#9 - Eye-Boob
At the end of our last foray, I got a little bit furry on you. A furry foray, if you will.

We need to stop Sephiroth casting Meteor, and not a second to lose!

#11 - In Which The Bosses Are Like a Baws
Oh how I love a good predicament. Last time I managed to get myself into the mother of all precidaments - a predicamum, if you will - because I was given the option of either: a) Fighting a pretty hard boss which you can only take down with…

#12 - In Which We Pause for a Summary
Eeek. It's been a while since I dropped in with our heroes in the struggle for Midgar. Thing is, getting through those last couple of bosses by the skin of my teeth shook me up to such an extent it had a severe and clinical effect on my ner…

#13 - In Which We Meet the Lovely Sephiroth
Aeris is eager to meet with the others and demands that we go to the inn immediately. Relax, mate! We're in Kalm! And when in Kalm, do as the... er... Kalmons do? And I do just that by having a mosey around and getting into leisurely chats …

#14 - Snakes on the Plains
If you've been following so far, we left off last time with Sephiroth setting fire to the entire town of Nibelheim and killing everyone, which is a bit cheeky of him given our orders were to 'protect Nibelheim' with an unwritten side-order …

#15 - In Which We Welcome in the New President
No, not that one. Sorry. I meant President Shinra. It turns out the new President is in Junon, and it just so happens Sephiroth has been spotted there too. Since they're both gentlemen I'd like to have a stern word with, I plan to also make…

Oh, hello! You're joining me just as I'm making a new friend: [](/__l5e/assets-v1/d7046d24-86d4-4763-a73e-aefc7a54d341/Invisible-Alpha-FF7.png) But yes, welcome back. So last time I managed to get myself onto a boat in hot pursuit of …

#17 - In Which Citizens are Griefed
Wow. What's wrong with me? Why am I griefing everyone in the town? I think the sun is going to my head. Or maybe I'm just overcompensating for the inadequacy I feel in not owning a villa. Either way, I think we should probably move on.

#18 - In Which Final Fantasy Towns are Unreasonably Flammable
We leave behind Costa Del Sol - regrettable because it's one of the most gorgeous and sunny locations in the entire world, but we must press on and there are plenty of other great places to explore! Not here, though. This place is just radi…

#19 - In Which We Didn't Expect to See Them in FF7
In the last instalment, we were thrown into Bane's desert prison or something like that. This time round, I'm going to get out of it. Deshi Basara. A Fire Rises. Two indigestion tablets should sort that out. [](http://www.tittybiscuits.com/…

#21 - In Which We Reach Out and Touch Faith
So there's a spy in our midst! And it's totally not me (I swear!) I prove it by beating up the Turks and sending them on their way. Damn those devious, sly, awesome and ultra-swanky lookin' bastards. I hope they never invite me to join...

#26 - In Which Materia is Kept
If you're new here, a quick catch-up: We're playing Final Fantasy VII in Iron Man Mode, so the second we die, this blog comes to an immediate stop and all saved games are deleted. In fact, this is also the last game of FF7 I'll ever play. S…
