this took about 3000 hours to make if you include SAC so please give it a look if you like ffvii

When you smell that a spicy meatball

This is the most ridiculous video we've put out yet lmao. This should show off the pains taken while making SAC.

The Tale Of Final Fantasy VII's Lost Prequel, And The Fans That Are Trying To Save It.

One of the unused scenes restored in SAC is a longer version of Yuffie stealing your materia, where instead of just running off she leaves behind a scarecrow that looks like her as a diversion. For a long time I just used her model in a T-pose for it, but now thanks to htp314 it has a custom model.

I was able to visualize the walkmesh files of Dirge of Cerberus. Here is an example from the boss arena where you fight Nero for the first time. Program written in Python using Open3D. #dirgeofcerberus #dcff7 #dcffvii #ダージュオブケルベロス

Knowing I'm the only person that can use the OG models in a greater capacity than ripping the dog shit low quality images off the wiki fills me with pride lol.

Went to a definitely licensed establishment today

bro what the fuck is going on over with the ever crisis localization team.

this image nicely sums up all the suffering the Remake localization has caused us

I think it should be legal to publicly execute YouTube commentors

I think the FMV of the Sister Ray firing is like one of the unsung highlights of FFVII. Every time I see it I'm like "FFVII is the best game ever made" lol.

Turq made some fake GameFAQ's posts for a visual gag in the latest Last Elixir video and apparantly destroyed our credibility forever lol

You know, I've given plenty of shit to FFVII's shipping community over the years because it's awful, but if I can give them one thing, the sheer fervor with which they argue has unearthed tons of obscure interviews and materials we otherwise probably wouldn't have known about lol.

Making Turq comb through the Rebirth text dumb to find overlap with the OG script only to find we'd already caught nearly everything already (onlt two small corrections and two actual new things so far having combed up through Costa del Sol).

Almost 80 degrees out here in February. Very normal no cause for alarm.

I tried this game a month ago and was a big fan, so if you're looking for an RPG to play, here's Ody's recommendation.

The magic of youth is thinking Pikmin 2 recycling 3/4 of its explorable areas from the first game was cool continuity and world building rather than lazy asset reuse to rush out a sequel.

This video is why giving Ody unconstrained creative control of the editing is a poor choice.

He cometh

Being humble is for cowards. This mod is the best way to experience OG FFVII, both for newcomers and returning players alike. The translation is polished to a mirror sheen, and considerations were made that most other teams wouldn't be capable of making. I'm really proud of what we did.

🥂Happy FFVII day to all who celebrate! Planning to revisit the OG on its 28th anniversary? Now you can do so with a brand-new retranslation and—optionally—loads of restored official cut content. Play FFVII: Shinra Archaeology Cut through the 7th Heaven mod manager today!

Knife hair (for defense)

There was a group of test battles exclusively in Japanese versions of FFVII that were scrubbed from all other releases that featured a group of enemies named after FFVII's battle programmers. With help from Sega Chief (New Threat dev) I've got them ported into SAC now lol.

"Hm... I need to show this model transitioning from one pose to another to demonstrate something for this video... hard cutting from one pose to the other would be boring though..." > spends 12 hours developing high-concept edit

Basically all the discussion I've seen about Rebirth PC is people doing graphics troubleshooting and it makes me happy I'm not a PC gamer lol.

For a long time, SAC's fancy advanced facial animation feature was incompatible with the popular Ninostyle Chibi model replacement mod, but now there is a new mod that fixes that called "Advanced Facial Animation Fix" in the 7th Heaven Catalog. Now FFVII is even more immersive.

Sephiroth didn't do anything

@turquoisehammer.bsky.social edited this one while I was editing the materia video, so my only contributions this time are the model skits and the thumbnail. Proud of my son.
