I fucking did it guise
I started playing this when it came out and due to numerous interruptions and troubles in life, never got round to completing it. But today I finally did it.

K, so this is going to be one of those threads. I have a psvita oled, haven't bought a sd2vita, can you recommend a decent one? Or are they all the same if you buy a certain revision?
I could also just use my pstv I guess. But I like playing on the move.

Mixed feelings now, its something that's been with me so long and now it feels like a dog died or something.
It clearly was from an age where not too much bullshit had entered the industry.
I had a lot of fun so that's my main feeling I guess. I went with Cloud, Cid and Tifa.

OLED Vita's only get burn in if you leave them on default brightness, which for some retarded reason is the brightest you can set it, and the OLED on the 1000 is absurdly bright even on the lowest setting.

Woah, calm down guise. OP here. So what did I get from it? A massive feeling that I was right to have played it at my own pace and not given a shit about rushing games just because that's what were meant to do nowadays because so much shit is being churned out constantly.
FF7 was pretty big news back then, just see the Remake hype for a small example. And that was a time where big games with huge budgets were virtually unheard of, so when one of these did come out, everyone knew about it. Like I said, I started playing it in around 1997, didn't get very far and it went on hiatus due to tonnes of shit that began happening around then. This is actually the first time in my life where I've had a decent amount of time to myself and just been getting back into my hobbies so it both feels like things have come full circle but also that completing it was the end of an era with a lot of ups and downs. So I'm very glad I completed it when I did as I feel it marked a certain time in my life and I also felt closure for having done so, and in a serendipitous way that reflects the reality of my life right now, things/problems that have been with me for a long time are ending or about to end and I feel its a new chapter beginning.
I haven't talked about the game itself a lot. I really do miss it now, I almost certainly will go back for another play but it will never feel the same. Taking this long to play it was the ultimate in savoring something very slowly and enjoying it to the extent possible. Like I think I already said, its very old-era gaming, not much hand holding and tutorial type explaining throughout the game. You fuck up, you deal with it. You miss an important item, wait till the next playthrough faggot. You run into an enemy that is OP and get your shit pushed in, should have escaped or not been a faggot. So in that sense I enjoyed the "strictness" of it, that's the same strictness a lot of people love in Dark Souls and I totally get that.

>> No.4497515

>>4497501
Other things I noticed, there were unsurprisingly NO fucks given about SJW nonsense and while that was typical of 1997, it felt funny to make my way through over the last decade or so and notice what kinds of things would trigger the retards who want to make gaming politically correct.
Look at Barret for example, a stereotypical negro who even speaks in ebonics. Or Tifa, an insecure little girl with giant tits who only exists to really give the game giant tits. And Aeris exists to give the game a love interest and tragedy. A blond white kid is the hero.
Other nice things were the theme of environmentalism (the subtext being the usual jap anti-nuke message) which had never really been done seriously in games before then. And the silly little literary references that all good JRPG writers come up with. What most people probably end up loving is the juxtaposition of dealing with serious "grown-up" themes in a genre that was up to that point very inane and immature yet also having these light hearted moments like that last banter by Yuffie when she pretends to not have picked up the materia. I can't say I have loved many games though I love the medium of videogames in general, but I fucking LOVED FF7 and probably always will.

>> No.4497527

The savouring-a-single-game over years or even decades isn't something I ever see taking off, but I feel like everyone should do this with at least one game just to see how you feel when it ends. Its most suited to adventures or RPGs obviously. I'm probably going to do this with Baldurs Gate or maybe Shadowrun next. Something with a very long playthrough and something that is easy to pick up and put down and that has a very complex or labyrinthine plot would be perfect.

The 1990s were one of the most PC times ever. It was the internet which made things much less PC in the early 2000s, with normal people being able to create and share content, rather than big corporations (the 90s were the most corporate time ever, too). SJW shit took over during the Obama era, and is past its prime.

>playing PSP instead of OLED PSVita
Not that guy, but I'm working my way up the generations. I'll get a Vita and a 3DS when I get bored of my DSL and PSP.

There's a bit more bullshit involved in loading roms/isos on the newer ones, too, which I'm too lazy to deal with, and playing PSP games with a single (shitty) stick reminds me of playing PSX games before dualshock or dual analog. It's a bit clunky, and some games don't work as well, but I'll just put those games off until I get a new system.

It's an emulator built by people with access to full details on the original, running on a platform they had full access and information on, which was designed to be similar. It's emulation, but running a lot of the code natively, even running the CPU at 50% over the clock rate it uses for normal PSP games.

It's as perfect an emulation platform as you're likely to get.
