The "How Can I Beat" NO SPOILERS thread for Playstation.

As for final Sephiroth: he's easy! I think it's supposed to be purposefully anti-climactic, just an excuse to limit break him to end the game. I remember having to de-equip my counterattack and 4x slash materia so that I wouldn't kill him when he attacked me.

what materia is essential (other than knights of the round)? and where can i find 4 x slash, will i have missed it for good if i don't have it already? and how do i get the special materia that is like all spells in one?

ruby weapon - is that the guy where you have to kill 2 of your party off before hand otherwise he's invincible?

yes. though it's still not enough to beat the cocksucking ruby/emerald weapons.

i still haven't beaten ff7/!! rio, the magic pots in Crater give like 1000 ap per kill. equip your dudes (Cloud & Cid i think) w/triple growth weapons and go to town.

yeah, they still have yet to fix that. Even in FFX, people were talking about being so ridiculously overpowered that the rest of hte game was a joke.

that said, I never finished it

So should I, but something about this game makes it seem more important than anything else right now. I think I'm telling myself that if I get this kid out of the castle he'll give me a job.

there was a great part early on, I remember, that had me stumped, I don't remember the specifics but it involved climbing high into the rafters of the room and bashing the chandelier that was handing in the middle so that it fell and broke the bridge I was trying to cross or something like it (there was some other part to the puzzle that I thought, when I'd got it, that it was dazzling, that the programmers had the gall to make the game work like that) (haha reading this back it's all airy and inconsequential; perfect for ico!)

This bit was fantastic, probably my favourite bit in the game so far. The part I'm on is right after this, outside the door that bridge gets you to, and after a story-related cutscene. If you know what I'm stuck on, feel free to drop the wildest hints you want, as long as you don't directly tell me. Then I'll think I didn't complete it properly.

I've gotten to the graveyard, and pushed a big block into a hole. It's sunk into the floor. There's another block on top of the building which I can't get to. The girl's pointing at the block as if I don't bloody know it's there. Back in the previous area there are two open windows, seemingly leading into a room I haven't been in. Up on the roof there's a wire going into a hole in the wall, with the other end attached to a bridge I'm pretty sure I need to cross in order to get on top of that building in the graveyard.

Here's the question:

Do I need to get into one of those windows?

I'd take a photo of the place, but a friend has my camera!
