Insane Difficulty: Beta 14 - Insane Difficulty

Nice, I'll be curious to see how low level you manage to finish the game at. I might have to try some kind of "challenge" playthrough at some point, say maybe with certain materia types banned.

(And just because you can still beat carry armor by draining his MP doesn't mean he should be given unlimited MP, I don't think. It sounds like you are having fun trying to beat the game as weak as possible, and if strats like that make it doable it's totally OK; presumably it was still way harder than in the vanilla game. This isn't supposed to be one of those hard-mode mods where you just have to grind for an extra 20 hours to beat the game.)

@Bananamatic
Steal rate of curse ring or level of ultiamte weapon was not changed, however, all characters have lower dexterity lowering all steal rates.

@Xyuza
Try saving at a savepont then reload the game from the memory card file, not the save state.

@Obob
Naw i jumped from 12 to 14 using the same ROM i used for Beta 12

@GalenMyra
I have a saved game where i last left it *Using the save state* But problem is everytime i load the game normally after the *Sony Computer Entertaiment System Presents* Message it freezes nothing happens... i can still load a state but it just stays there.

Does Mystile have any use? 7 slots, awful defenses, lower def% than the Aegis Armlet...

By the way, the difficulty was pretty much a joke until the end of disc 2. Double Cut+Conformer and Premium Heart do 7,5-10k a turn to bosses even in the mid 30s.
Let's see if the final bosses were buffed to the point of being too hard without HP Plus at level 36.

@Bananamatic
There is only 1 Aegis Armlet in the entire game while there are 2 (or even 3) mystiles. The mystile also have 2 more linked pairs of slots which can be valuble if you use it with ultimate weapons and 1 more single slot which means 25% more HP if you use it for HP plus. It has the same evade % if you look at both Def and Mdef.

Most ppl (including myself) seems to think its difficult enough unless you overlever, I think you will find it extremely hard (probably impossible) to kill Safer Sephiroth on level 36, but good luck!

First of all, hello everybody

To make a short word about myself, i'm fond of FF7 and discovered some years ago a "hard type". Look it was version 7 (Final Fantasy VII HardType for PSP v7).
I played it a few, and started over some days ago (i finally get the umbrella in speed square !)

Now i'm at "huge materia time" and i encouter a problem, trying to get the last limit of Youffie in the Pagode.
The first fight is ok, but the second make my psp crash each time i try.
Looking if someone get the same problem, i discovered your website and decided to registed to help if i can, and support you for that great challenge.

I red some of the news, but i was wondering if V14 would handle my V7 save ? Maybe my problem would be solved, but if someone could tell me ?

Thanx a lot for your work, its amazing playing FF7 that way.

Good work

edit : i find a post speaking about V7 :
"You can't complete it as v7 is not compatible vith v12. The stats, hp, mp and xp caluculations are different, so if you use a v12 image on a v7 save file all your numbers will be messed up. "

tell me it's not true ! please

I tried v16 since that last post and i got some problem too.
So i wanted to try v14, but when i try to dl, only v16 is available :/

Does anyone know how to get the v14 ?
I can send my mail by mp if needed.

Thank !
