Will there be any standard RPGs, Well it looks like Quest64 will be the first N64 RPG. Do you have a Gameboy? If so, all four GB Final Fantasy games are being re-released. The GB FF games were Final Fantasy Adventure (I think the only true-RPG in the FF GB series), Final Fantasy Legend 1, Final Fantasy Legend 2, and Final Fantasy Legend 3 (I think the FFL games have gameplay similar to Secret Of Mana and Secret Of Evermore). I think I'll get FFA (Final Fantasy Adventure). --- Telegard v3.02 * Origin: The Steiner Line BBS 910-626-7985 (1:3648/6) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 170 VIDEO GAMES Ref: F5G00202 Date: 04/19/98 From: STEVE IGREJAS Time: 11:18am \/To: CHRIS MCCULLOUGH (Read 0 times) Subj: FF7 -=> Quoting Chris Mccullough to All <=- CM> 1. after beating ruby weapon..do i go fight Sephiroth...or do i have CM> to beat Emerald weapon first??

All this information is based on what I played, opinions of people here, and other facts. When the crew is flying on their plane and winessing the destruction of Midgar, Holy has the opposite affect. It starts pulling the Meteor, not destroying it. Then the life stream appears (green streams) and destroys everything that's bad for the planet. Now this includes humans. Aeris appears because she's in the life stream. Since the life stream is out of the planet, you can see her. Five hundred years later, Red XIII's children are with him. He must have told them the story. He's going to show his kids what happened after the disaster. You notice that Midgar hasn't been touched by a human in years, because humans died. If they lived, you'd think that they'd send a rescue team in to see if anyone survived. Then the screen fades an you hear children laughing. This is very easy to explain. It's not humans. Since Red XIII's race can talk, that was the voices of his children. I firmly believe that's what really happened. Give your opinion. ... ":-) "It's not money.
