So I recently bought FF7 on steam just so I could get the achievements and figured I might do a Low Level Challenge for my first playthrough.

I used to make threads like this for Diablo II tracking progress and stuff, so I figured it might be fun to do it for this game.

Will be posting screenshots of stuff worth mentioning/stuff/videos of boss fights.

I will keep the exploitation of Aeris to a minimum. I will most likely kill off other chars and try to use her to progress, but I won't use her to 'overlevel' materia etc.

Start!



Put everyone to the back row. Doesn't matter so much now, but will later on.



Scorpion kill!

Getting out of the reactor as fast as I can



Ran from all these guys to skip EXP obviously.



After escaping on the train and some scenes in the hideout I got Cure materia for everyone, and also 3x iron bangles. Also equiped Cloud with Cure-All

good luck i still have a copy of the old pc version and the ps1 game sitting in a box if you want some more fun and a challenge anything from these guys is good

Thanks Neat site. Will have a look around for sure.

Lucky killing monsters when in a fight like this doesn't give exp



Nope. Not gonna take it!



Boss fight (Air Buster):

I'm not sure why I can't embed that ^

Sold some ether's to get some coin



Aps boss fight in the sewers:

you cant quote + embed

Thanks, didn't realise that.

Stocking up on some Ethers in the train graveyard. Good for cash at the moment



Also got a upgrade for Aeris.

Boss fight with Reno:



Good thing I didn't steal the kids 5 gil.



Stocked up on some speed drinks. They cast Haste. Might come in handy at some point.

Have you had a look at Tifas bootleg mod?
I used it awhile ago when i played and it was amazing, makes the game look so much better
Its pretty much a HD mod


that was what my cloud looked like after the mod

I did consider using a HD mod but I only really play older games anyway so the graphics don't bother me.

I'll probably use one on another playthrough to see how good it can be though

[e] I youtube'd some vids. It looks pretty crazy.
