Collect all 35 '1/35 Soldiers'
Than take them to the man at the Chocobo farm he'll give you a Resurrection Chocobo (it'll be a blood red)
Race this Chocobo in every tournament until he gets to be the greatest champ
Once you fed this chocobo 1000 'Pheonix Downs', he'll than turn pink (matching aeris's clothing)
Keep in mind, this must all take place before Aeris dies
Right after Aeris dies, press the following
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, X, O, Start
Right as your dropping Aeris into the water, her eyes will open.
From this point on, all the events in the game that normally take place after Aeris is dead will no longer take place.
Now you must buy the 'Aeris Revival' expansion pack to FF7
to play the rest of the game with her.

Server Upgrade - Scheduled Downtime: 12/5/09 12:45 AM - 1:45 AM (GMT)

That's right, Server upgrade again but this isn't a server transfer but rather just an upgrade to the current server. Lately vizzed and get-your-rom have increased in traffic greatly (8000+ unique per day, almost 1000 jump in past 2 weeks from advertising and updates I did) and I just noticed the board being very slow in the past hour and the board crashing earlier today.

I will be upgrading from 2 GB ram to 4 GB ram so that's double and the difference will definitely be noticeable. Unfortunately it'll be an extra $25 a month which will put the total cost of the server near $200 a month. I am currently looking into alternate routes to lowering these costs but until than, I'll just have to deal with this.

Anyways, upgrade should only take an hour and everything should be a lot faster tomorrow. Thanks for everyones patience.



EDIT: DONE

deeppurple's sound good. I have a story for you to use. I was developing it an RP for about a year but never got it started at any of the previous boards I frequented. A couple things to note before I get to the details: First, the RP is mostly based on time travel. The characters will go through several time period and meet new allies along the way. Second, the story is the first of a 3-part saga. Any names I have will probably be changed by you, unless you see fit to use them.

The plot- The characters start off in a nice village called Avena surrounded by lush green fields and sparkling streams, the kind of environment you'd see at the beginning of most games or anime shows. (In my RP the number of members participating make up the party. This could be anywhere from 2 to 20. You of course are making a game, so I imagine you'll have just 2 or 3 to start with, if that.) Recently, though, there have been reports across the continent (not named) of different parts of the land slowly rotting or becoming infertile over the years. Large patches of fields and forested areas are noticeably going barren and have almost a desert-like feel to them. Most kingdoms are religious, so they sought out after a brave group that would investigate the problem, which they believe is a dark god casting darkness upon the land (keep in mind no gods or other deities exist in this world). This of course is where your group comes in You and your party travel to the Holy City of Falriel. After a battle (details later) you meet with the high Priest's Daughter, Aena and she joins your party. You are told that the dark god resides in the underworld where you are to go and defeat it to cure the rotting land. After being instructed to travel to a celestial alter of some kind which is located in the Nai Mountains you begin your travel. Upon reaching the destination the party steps onto the alter are transported to the underworld. Or so they believe....

After some flashy streams and bright, dazzling lights they finally emerge from a portal and drop to the ground. They get up and find themselves standing near a town. Around the town they can see the land, which a lot of it is visibly bare. Patches of dry sand are scattered through the grass fields and forests have fewer trees than back in the area of Avena. This of course looks nothing like an "underworld", so they go to the town to get an explanation of where they are. They come to find themselves in a land of what we called ninjas and martial artists. They meet an especially skilled ninja named Jeran, who shows the group around for a bit. After much talking the party realizes they infact did not travel to the "underworld", but that they traveled to the future in time. Knowing this, they naturally want to go home. Jeran agrees to help to take them to a similar alter. Boss battle ensues somewhere and sometime. They eventually reach the alter and Jeran suddenly passes out and gets a vision, one of his town. In it he sees a vast city, there are mighty towers of iron and glass that reach past the clouds in the sky. "Metal birds", big and small are in the air and on the ground everywhere. Colored lights sprinkle the city and the whole place is surrounded by a wall of soft light. Outside the wall of light he barely makes out what seems to be a never-ending desert of poison. Black clouds loom in the sky and in the last vision, just before he wakes up, he looks deep into the atmosphere and sees what looks like a giant, colored cloud. After coming to he is fascinated by this "dream" and, knowing the alter may be some kind of time portal, decides to join the party on hopes of arriving at the surreal city.

The party goes through a bunch of these warps or portals which exist at the alters or some other place, going far into the future and meeting new characters which join them. The further they go into time the more the land is dying and life seems gloom. Wars break out over areas of vegetation still as of yet unaffected by the world-wide rot. I can go into great detail if you become interested in this, Cookieman.

There are three side-quests in this story. The first one is a cave near the town of Avena, in which a large Black Dragon resides. The characters have access to this cave immediately at the start of the RP. However, the the dragon has 60k hit-points. Fighting would be an instant death to them all that point. This should tell you that party is able to go back in time to their original era, and after having gained experience and strength they can opt to beat him then. The rewards are extremely great for doing so.
The second involves going back to the city of Falriel. The city is under attack by monsters being controlled by a "dark" person who wants revenge on the kingdom. Beat him to get more good stuff.
The third side-quest takes place in the future, in the city Technolopolis, which is part of the story. The city is overrun by large mechs, robots and ground and flying-type machines. They are everywhere. No people live there anymore. The party can choose to go into a lengthy, sealed underground lab, named "Lab 04", which is still functional. The fight various creations made by scientists before deserting the place. At the end the party steps into a room tremendous inside. They activate a console screen. Here they find the recorded journal of the famous Dr. Xylo Protian, a very skilled cyberneticist and overseer of the various tests and experiments done in the lab. And here they learn the horrible truth about why the planet is rotting away- It is not caused by some dark god from the underworld. There is, infact, an enormous, dense colored mist of energy hovering near the planet. This mist is somehow draining the energy from the world, sucking the life out of it and absorbing it. Named "Energy Xtraction Entity" ('EXE' for short), giant cloud is the reason the planet is rotting. Over the course of a few thousand years it has been slowly eating and storing this energy for a purpose Dr. Protian never figured out. Nobody know where it came from or why it is there. Only that within several hundred years everything would be gone. No water, no plants, no life. The only option would be to travel to the nearest planet, rich in oxygen with mostly water on the surface and one giant continent. The problem with this is that millions of monstrous lizards live there. They have been found to be aggressive and people would never be able to live there without cities being crush and people eaten, despite the defenses put up.
It is after learning this they read about his last creation before disappearing- a very powerful robot capable of absorbing and using magic energy. Dormant in a capsule across the lair, the party activates it and engage in a fierce battle. After winning they install a program chip into it (what the Dr. lost disappeared in time trying to find). The robot reactivates and joins the party to destroy the EXE.

After completing tasks in the city they finally come to a metal structure. Met by a man in a thick hooded robe, whose face you cannot see, he activates to portals. The party has two options: take the warp that leads immediately to the EXE, or take the portal to a time tunnel, traveling to the EXE in the past. They fight enemies along the way. In the first choice the EXE is stronger. In the second choice the EXE is weaker in the past but they risk losing trying to fight their way to it.

At the end of the story the EXE is destroyed, but alas the planet continues to rot away. In the past, if they chose to fight it then, another EXE replaces the one destroyed and the draining process continues. All life eventually perishes, cities crumble and the planet turns to a cold, reddish barren wasteland. But not before people of the future flee the world to go somewhere else.
In the very last event the hooded man from before walks into a fire-lit room, kneels down and speaks to someone. He explains what your party did and the outcome of the battle. You hear an evil voice reply saying that it is his time to rise and that "they" will be sought after. The very last scene shows a stone statue of a strange being. The evil voice is heard again coming from the statue, saying "their time to fall is at hand". You hear him laugh as the everything goes dark. This is where the second part of the saga begins.

Long read, I know. I've went so far with this story as to create a list of the characters you meet and a little background for them. Characters

I also compiled a bestiary of all the enemies in the RP, categorized by the area they are in and listed their HP money dropped and experience gained from them. Enemies

In addition to this, I made a short video as the opening scene to the RP. It's not the greatest quality, but I had planned to redo it. I recommend letting it load for most of way before playing it. RP Story Intro

So, is does all this sound like something to create a game with so far?

It looks like on a little over a week I'll be adding these game systems. So it's safe to assume that in 2 weeks, most, if not, all these game systems and all their games will be on Vizzed Board. Now I expect traffic on the site to double within a month after that so it's possible we might make another server migration BUT the next migration will go a lot smoother, probably 1 or 2 hours of downtime at most. The new version of plesk I'm using (server management software), lets you easily export all the site files, configuration and databases to another server using Plesk very easily.

Probally should say "I like this site"
Looks like he's posting in Portuguese by the way.
Ehem: "Nós falamos Inglês aqui, nós provavelmente não vai entender você.
Sinta-se livre para usar um tradutor online como o Google para falar conosco."
(We speak english here so we most likely won't understand you. Feel free to use an online translator like Google to talk to us.)

edit: oh yeah and "eu era um registrado" is "I was a registered" (probally "I just registered")

Deathbat127: you probally should have made your own thread rather then posting all that in this one, but welcome anyway. Be sure to follow what Juliet said and check out the links in her post.

You guys don't know what you are talking about. Final Fantasy is in no way overrated. It is one of the most intricate RPG games i have played. I love other ones as well. Some even better than final fantasy, but final fantasy is well known and played. Especially when it comes to the games now a days. It is very intricate and planned as well as produced with voice acting and the created music and such. I'm not saying it's the best I'm saying it is rated accordingly.
