Weapon is making its way towards Midgar at a super slowly pace. Which means plenty of time to explore that downed plane we heard about so long ago! Good stuff ta be found in here such as a Double Cut materia and Zennys ultimate weapon!
Bad stuff to. Ya pretty much don't wanna bother fighting these "Unknown" monsters. Time consuming and super annoying with status effects an stuff. Pretty much Shinra Mansion all over again!
Rude & Reno are here to! They say the items here were made to beat Sephiroth, and that they'll take care of him. After stealing more goodies offa 'em they get a taste of Typhoon then scurry off like usual. For our final encounter with them it sure was run of the mill.
In the cargo room a hot new summon materia is found, and Goddamn T's ultimate limit break! Now that stuff'll come in handy against Weapon!
Still not there yet huh? Good, cause What's got some things that need ta be set right!
Like snowboarding! His times down Icicle Inns slopes sucked! Over at Wonder Square the snowboarding games opened up! But What just wants ta have tea time with a Moogle so lets call in our ringer!
This comes up to bat and gets a Good rating on the Beginner, Expert, and Crazy courses! Which unlocks a time attack mode! That mode removes all obstacles and greatly boosts your speed! Rumor has it theres a way to unlock even higher speeds... but I'm content enough with how the snowboarding skills have improved!
Previously, What failed at the second stage of Mog House. Not the case this time! He gets the little critter to fly and impress Mag!
o.o; Where'd all those lil mogs come from all of a sudden?
What failed the huge materia submarine mission but they still made a game about it! Now here's the thing: he wasn't working with all of the controls in mind. The manual he read left some things out...
First of all R2 switches the camera between several different views including first person for that true submarine motion sickness feel! More importantly is that sonar they talk up. Thats R1. Pressing that zooms the camera way out to give a wide area view an if enemy subs are in your zone you'll get an idea of where they are. Oh an L1/L2 do stationary ascend/descend incase ya wanna be a camper.
After learning all of this, What successfully beat all 5 missions! An thats with the enemy subs speed and armor increasing quite a ways from first mission to last!
And heyyyy. 3D Battler! Last time What got knocked out by the 3rd fighter. After dumping much time and money into the game, he finally took him down! The mysterious masked fighter that came next annihilated him which is to be expected. The dudes unbeatable sans extreme luck or cheating. Allegedly theres a 5th fighter but no ones ever seen him/her...
An still one more thing What needs ta atone for: his ultimate limit breaks been here for the taking since late disc 1. Alot of stuff was happening back then, plus it was double the price it is now but still!
While there, the party fought long and hard enough to get the needed BP for Speed Plus and W-Summon materia! An not once did they get ripped off an have their time wasted by cheap nonsense. Nope nope...
After all that arena battling coming back to the world map and hearing its music still playing made the party wanna go fight Weapon to put an end to that song! Diamond likes to stomp and shoot light shells and thats it. If it has a signature move they didn't get to see it! After many many turns of Trine Mime it turns away and leaves. Don't forget to steal a weapon for Zenny from it!
With Diamond pulling an Ultimate the party is now 0 / 2 against Weapon. Can't call it a draw cause its going off to continue doing its thing. They didn't stop it or save anybody / thing!
Around nows when the cannon is good ta go an Rufus is giving 'em the go ahead to fire. He about to get another kill?
All of them reactors are firing up into overdrive mode! So much so that the whole city suffers from a brownout!
And then? What else? It fires!!
Its only now that Diamond unleashes its own full burst of weapons. Guess the party wasn't worth wasting those on.
One full charged shot vs a buncha scattered shots. Which'll come out on top?
Charge shot has piercing effect! Thats game right there. Shinra are 2 / 0 against Weapon!
And it keeps going! All the way up to Sephiroths barrier until it wipes it entirely away!
Diamond may be down for the count but its shots aren't just gonna fizzle out! They've slowly and surely been seeking their target...
Rufus Shinra. He never bled. He never cried. An you're sorely mistaken if ya think he just died!
Oh you know he's just lounging around down there fucking about.
Just shutup and get back in the box Dracula. Real tired of your dumb singluar character trait. Why'd we hire this lamer again?
Zenny on the other hand is great! Even when her dialogue comes out mangled! Anyhow lets go check out the northern crater!
Wait why're we here? Sure the party parked the airship by Junon and rode around on ULTROS but cutscenes showed 'em back onboard and in the Midgar area. How does that work? I think the world must be trying ta point the party in the direction of further redemption!
