Kotaku should run its own poll asking readers what part of FFVII they’d hate to see become DLC.

Phoenix Downs only work if you die on the battle screen. Sephiroth comes down too fast for the PSX hardware to load the battle screen.

Yeah. Its concepts of repentance, forgiveness, and humility are all B.S.

You can level up in Lunatic mode in Awakening? I tried to get through Lunatic mode, myself, and every random battle on the world map kicked my ass (as in the enemies had twice my stats and were undefeatable no matter how well I played).

I don’t know what’s sillier: Wearing shoes indoors, or wearing shoes when bare feet would offer so much more dexterity.

Better not tell China about that stolen panda bear.
